Original subtitles

I thought you didn't hook up with groupies. I won't start. Chloe, just go.

Will you call me?

There's nothing left to say.

Please, leave.

Don't get too comfortable, little girl.

This isn't over, Eddie.

Sorry about that.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I mean, I don't take it personally.

She kind of reminds me of someone at school.

Yeah. How are you doing?

I've been better.

If you want to do this another day, I totally understand. No, no, no.

It's best for me to get to work.

Trust me.

Do you want something to eat or drink?

No, I'm okay. Thank you.

Wow. Your place is amazing.

Thank you. It's the perks of being a rock star.

What were you doing here last night?

What are you talking about? I wasn't here last night.

So it's a coincidence that the merchandise you brought me that I didn't

pay you for has just suddenly disappeared.

Well, if I'm the one who brought it to you, why would I take it back? Is there

a bonus for jacking things twice up? The more time that we waste playing this

game, the more it's going to hurt.

What's going to hurt?

You're just a spoiled rich kid trying to see how close you can hold your hand to

the fire. But trust me, you are going to get burned. Can't prove anything, right?

I don't appreciate being dragged in here against my will in your garage.

It's called kidnapping.

Call the cops.

I think I know the number.

Starts with a nine.

All right, look, why don't we just, you know, call this whole thing

misunderstanding?

What kind of misunderstanding do you mean?

Tell me.

One reason why I should let you walk out of here.

I made a mistake. I was mad.

You know, you didn't pay us for all that merch we brought you. It just didn't

seem fair.

Life isn't fair.

Didn't anyone ever teach you that?

I'll do whatever I need to do to make things right. Why should I bother, huh?

You're disloyal and you're stupid. Now, that's a dangerous combination.

You want to know what my first impulse is? Is to put a cap in you and dump your

body in Topanga Canyon.

That's one of your second ideas.

No, what are you doing? Do you have a better solution, huh?

Yeah, I learned my lesson. Yeah, well, you know what? Here's another one.

Now, don't fight it, okay?

Because then he'll have to get rough. But stop. Just stop.

I don't want to break your arm, Phil.

So you better come up with an idea that's going to make this better. Look,

my girlfriend, her dad, he's a doctor. He's super rich. Yeah, we know. Right,

so he's got this clinic, you know, and he's got tons of medication in there,

painkillers, mostly all that stuff.

Yeah? So, you know, it's not much security. It's easy pickings for me, all

right? But not if my arm is broken.

Now, the last time you did a job with your girl, you almost got caught. It

won't happen again. We'll be careful this time.

No. You know what? No.

Okay.

No girlfriend.

All right, no girlfriend.

I'll take care of myself.

It's not a bad idea.

He was so cold to me.

You should have seen him. Yesterday, he's my best friend, my fiancé.

And today, it's like he barely even knew me.

Well, honey, you betrayed him.

He's hurting.

Well, I'm hurting, too. Does anyone care about that?

Of course I do, baby.

I'm your mother. What can I do to help you?

Can you get Eddie back for me? Because that's the only thing that's going to

make me feel better.

I can't do that.

My life is over.

Honey, you just stop that now.

You've got plenty to live for.

Look at this wonderful wife you've made for yourself.

Mom, I have nothing.

Look, your life does not revolve around Eddie.

You have built this amazing modeling career, and you've done it all on your

own. I mean, cry it out loud. You've got your own money.

Can you please stop talking? I know that you're trying to help right now, but you

have not the slightest idea what I'm going through. All right, you want me to

leave you alone?

No.

Well, could you go down to the store and maybe get me some ice cream?

Sure.

Chocolate sauce and sprinkles?

Do you know how many calories are in chocolate sauce?

Do you want me to wind up on Celebrity Fit Club?

Of course not.

Although I do like that show.

Mom, maybe just a few sprinkles?

This

piano's

beautiful.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, thanks. It's kind of the first thing I bought when I started making money.

It's incredible.

I don't even know if it would fit in my place. We'd have to knock down a wall

just to bring it in.

How are the songs coming along?

Slow.

Oh, they're ballads?

No, they're like non-existent.

Something's getting in the way.

Listen, I should probably kind of explain what just happened there.

We're in the process of breaking up.

Yeah, I heard something about that.

Yeah, so it's really hard, obviously.

What happened?

Wow, I'm so sorry. That's not even my place to say that. I don't know. I mean,

you got caught up in the crossfire. You might as well know what the war is

about.

What have you heard?

Something about another guy and there was a big fight.

And then I read something about Chloe's mom.

But none of it's true, right?

That all actually sounds pretty accurate.

You've been reading the right stuff. Does it say in there what a fool I feel

like? You shouldn't feel that way.

You were in love.

People in love don't always act rationally.

Oh, yeah?

I thought you said you've never been in love.

I've read books.

It's not the same.

But I feel like a person like you will still be rational, even when in love.

What do you mean, a person like me?

I don't know. Someone who opens up with scissors on rock, paper, scissors.

You're never going to let that rest, are you? Nope. No.

You see, my problem is I love to be in love.

You know, every girlfriend that I've had since I was nine.

You had a girlfriend when you were nine?

Yep. And that's the problem. I can never just casually hang out with a girl. You

know, I've always got to go all in.

It's all or nothing for me, you know.

Even if the world ends, I don't care. We have each other.

What's wrong with that?

It's how you get hurt.

It's how you make bad decisions.

It's how you don't see that your fiancé has been cheating on you the whole time.

I'm really sorry, Eddie.

Don't apologize.

It's not your fault.

It's not your fault either.

Look... If you're not up to this today, we could totally reschedule. No.

Oh, like I said, come on. It's best for me to work, so let's get to work.

Ah, yeah.

Electricity in the air.

That's my world when you are near.

Oh you don't know just what you do to me But when you look into my eyes I feel

my spirit come alive When you take my hand I

start to understand You make me feel like I

could You make me feel so happy You

make me feel like

I thought I heard you.

Did you come home for some of that leftover pasta? I did.

This list of Phil's friends, where'd you get the phone numbers?

Oh, from the school directory.

Doesn't matter. Nobody's heard from him.

What did Adriana say?

I didn't get a hold of her. I left a message, but she hasn't called back.

Want me to heat up some of that pasta? Yeah, thank you. We should answer her

phone. That girl's never more than two feet from her phone. The directory only

has home numbers, and I don't have her cell, and I don't know how to get it.

We can't ask her dad. He's not going to help us.

Should I go to the school or maybe her house?

I mean, maybe I should talk to her face to face.

I think I know where we can get her cell number.

Oh, my God!

You scared me.

You have a beautiful woman laying in your bed.

What's there to be afraid of?

I was surprised in here earlier.

It still hurts.

How'd you get in here?

When I turn on the charm, I can get whatever I want.

You of all people should know that.

That creepy desk clerk let you in?

Hey, he's nice.

Just his eyebrows are creepy.

How much you pay him?

You really think that I paid him off?

I'm offended, okay? I'm not my dad.

I used my wiles.

What's that?

It's mine. It's just a little smaller than it was before.

You look hot.

Took you long enough to notice.

Come here.

I gotta do some thinking aid.

You can kiss and think at the same time.

I don't mind.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Everything's gonna be okay.

That was fun.

That was really fun. And productive.

Yeah. You know, it's like when, uh, when it works like that, you get into, like,

a rhythm, and it's almost like really good, um... Like really good?

Like collaboration.

Like really good collaboration.

Right. Collaboration. Yeah.

You know, when you, like, finish each other's sentences and stuff.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm not 11, you know.

Mm-mm.

I know. I was going to say it makes really hot and steamy.

Collaboration. Oh.

If I had known it was this good, I would have collaborated a long time ago.

Okay.

I should call my mom.

So, what are we going to do with this masterpiece now?

Uh, just... Leave it up to me.

Eduardo, what up? Hey, what's going on? I'm sitting here with the lovely Lauren

Tate. Ah, enjoying a little minty mentor time, huh?

Indeed. We just got finished working on her song, and it sounds incredibly dope.

I can't wait for you to hear it. Sounds good. I'm on my way.

Eddie and Lauren just finished tweaking her song.

Exciting. Yeah.

Okay, so I will reschedule DJ Bones and all your other appointments for this

afternoon. All right.

Do it in the car.

Well, you're coming with me.

Really? Yeah, this is your baby, too. It's not polite to keep a superstar

waiting, so come on.

All right, what do you want for dinner, honey?

I'm not hungry. I've already eaten half my body weight in ice cream this

afternoon. All right, that's enough of that. You'll make yourself sick. Mom,

just give it to me. Leave it.

All right.

When I picked up the ice cream, I also got some groceries.

And I got all the ingredients for your favorite meal.

Chateaubriand? I don't even know what that is.

No, I am talking about mac and cheese made from scratch.

You've got to be kidding me.

No, remember when I used to make it for you when you had a bad day?

When you fell off your bicycle and in middle school when those girls weren't

being mean to you? Because they were just jealous that I got boobs before

they did. Well, mac and cheese and your mother's love always made you feel

better when you were down.

Maybe. I mean, I have eaten more dairy today than I have in the last three

years. It's good for your bones.

Wait, what did you say about me feeling better?

Mac and cheese and mother's love?

Oh my God, you are giving me a genius bar level idea right now. I am?

Your little excursion to Los Angeles might actually have some value.

What are you talking about?

You might have just stumbled upon a way to get Eddie to forgive me.

Well, what do you think?

Solid. Nice job.

I love it. I can already hear it on the radio.

Oh, thanks. You had a good time working on it, huh?

This must be such a thrill for you. It was a thrill.

It's a lot of hard work, too, though, because this one's so stubborn.

Oh, come on. That's not fair.

I'm only stubborn about the right things.

Was I wrong today?

You tried to rhyme gravity with depravity.

That was just a misstep, okay? But they still rhyme, right?

Uh, Lauren, could you give us a minute, please?

Sure. Um, where's the bathroom?

Ah, to the left, to the left.

Oh, okay.

She's so cute.

Yeah. No, I like this girl, man. She's like an old pro.

What else have you got for us to listen to?

What do you mean, like new songs?

Yeah, man, the record company guys have been breathing down my neck. Yeah, they

do call, like, twice a day.

They wanted the album out, like, the day before yesterday.

All right, well, I've got a few things, but they're not quite gelled yet.

All right, well, let's listen to something. Maybe we can help. No, dude,

the last thing I want to do is give you some half-assed single-verse songs.

All right? The label can wait. I'm sick of dealing with these fake deadlines.

They're not going to go out of business in three days, are they?

They do pay the bills.

All right. Well, they can wait.

And so can you.

Yes, I am absolutely sure I want to do this.

Okay, but once you do the interview, there's no turning back.

All right? It's out there for the world to see and pass judgment on you.

I know that, Lily, but I'm having a hard time figuring out why you're so

resistant to the idea. As your friend, Chloe, I'm worried.

About me?

I am a rock. You know that.

No, you're not. You're cold-blooded, not a rock. I'm just saying you guys have

been broken up for five minutes.

Maybe you should take some time to process it all and not go public just

yet. The story is already out there, okay? I hate how the media is portraying

me as some cold-hearted gold digger.

Right. The media distorts everything.

I want people to hear my side of the story. I want to take control of my

image. And win Eddie back?

It's not about that.

Can you try telling me the truth just once?

Okay, fine. It is about that. I want to get Eddie back. I want to tell him in

front of the whole wide world that I love him and I want him to forgive me. I

want him to know how badly I want a second chance.

That would make for good TV.

Are you sure this is an exclusive?

Who else would I give it to, Lily?

Well, I'm honored that you chose me.

So when do you want to do this?

How soon can you get here?

Hey, buddy, I'm on your side, remember?

I know, okay? I just hate the pressure of a deadline.

All right, man, I've got enough stress in my life without some label screaming

down my neck.

Well, now, you were the one who said you wanted to make a great breakup album.

Remember I want to be like Adele? I do, all right, but you've got to give me

some time to do that.

Yo, take all the time you need, man. The last thing I want is for you writing

songs you're not proud of. It's not going to benefit anyone.

No, you're talking some sense.

Now, how can I help you? I mean, are there any other songwriters you want to

collaborate with, producers you want to work with? They're all just a phone call

away.

I don't know if that's the solution.

What about Lauren?

What about Lauren? Well, they work well together, and you obviously enjoyed

collaborating on her song with her.

I mean, yeah, it was a very productive day.

Well, then maybe you guys should do it again.

That's interesting. I mean, yeah, I would like to pursue that.

She could be the spark you need.

Hmm.

I mean, yeah, she does bring something different to my process.

Look, guys, she wrote one decent song. Let's not get carried away here.

I mean, we don't know if she can deliver again. You know, she clearly lacks

experience and the emotional maturity needed.

I'm pretty sure I was younger than her when I wrote my first album. Yeah, but

you were a phenom.

Yeah, but I think she might be, too.

Go ahead. If it'll get the album done, I'm all for it.

Uh-uh. What are you worried about?

I'm worried about if she's going to be ready or not.

I'm worried if you're going to be too distracted and forget to write.

Distracted? Yeah.

Like you guys going out and playing foosball all day?

That kind of distraction?

You think I don't know about that?

Come on, Jake. She's a hard worker.

As long as she knows that it's all work.

You're at a very vulnerable spot right now.

You need to focus. We need an album.

I don't want, like, the huge Eddie Duran brand that we've worked so hard to build

to lie on the shoulders of a valley girl.

That was so nice.

Yeah.

That was hot.

Just glad you're not gone.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, last time we hooked up, you took off so fast, it was like a magic act.

Got the feeling you were avoiding me.

I did not like that. Phil, it was my first time.

I was confused. I didn't know what to expect.

I had to sort through my feelings first.

How about your second time?

I feel like I'm mad in love.

Like I couldn't imagine my life without you.

I've heard you say that about a purse.

I'm being serious. Don't you believe me? I do believe you.

I just wonder how much this has to do with you getting back at your dad. Do we

have to talk about him?

Admit it.

You just picked the baddest bad boy you could find.

Baddest hottest boy I could find?

You know, being with me drives him nuts.

Hey, look, I'd love you no matter if he hated you or not.

That's just the sweet icing on the cake.

Speaking of cake, how about that room service?

I thought you said this place didn't have room service. Oh, they don't.

They have vending machines.

With sandwiches.

I think they're even from this week.

Ew. Phil, I don't even know why you're staying here. This place smells like a

locker room.

Well, the price was right.

I'm not looking to upgrade anytime soon. Colorado took out a pretty big chunk of

my payroll.

Why?

He is not happy with me.

I do not like that guy.

Well, you don't have to.

Just know that I'm going to be here for a little while.

Did you really move out of your house? Yeah.

I had to. So, when do we get to start looking for apartments together?

Do you know what you're telling me?

I just said I had to stay here for a little while. I know, but I know you,

Phil. You can make a big score any day and then we can start looking, right?

Yeah, you're right.

One of Phil's old cell phones.

He has so many phones, that boy. And that doesn't make you suspicious?

Why do you want an old phone?

Because his old contacts are in here. Every single one of them.

You can find Adriana's cell phone number in here. Let me see.

Let me look.

There's no Adriana.

I wonder how old this phone is. It's a brand new model. They probably just

stopped using it.

There is an entry for A.

I bet that's our gal.

This was really fun.

Thank you so much for everything.

Yeah.

You're going so soon?

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I have homework to do.

I actually have school tomorrow.

Love that.

Well, you were really nice today, and I really appreciate you humoring me. I

learned a lot. I'm not humoring you.

Okay, I'm really happy with the work we did today.

Lauren, you have what it takes to do this.

Wow, that's really cool to hear you say that.

So, when can you do this again?

Do what?

Uh, write songs.

I've got a whole album to do.

Eddie, I heard Jake talking.

I know that he doesn't really want me hanging around and distracting you and

kicking your butt in foosball.

Yeah, well, that's Jake, all right? It's not me.

I want to work with you. I think we make a great team.

You don't have to say that.

We've talked about working on other songs.

I know, but I thought you were just being nice.

Okay.

Lesson number one in show business.

No one's nice just to be nice.

Not even you?

No. Okay, there are nice people, and I'd like to, you know, credit myself as one

of them.

But everybody wants something from you.

Yeah, that happens to me at the coffee shop all the time.

People are all nice and chatty, but turns out they just want coffee.

That's similar.

Yeah.

So, how's this weekend?

I'm definitely free.

Okay. Can I...

Call you?

Sure. You can call me whenever.

I'll be like your songwriting hotline, open 24-7.

Except on school nights when I go to bed at 11.

Good to know.

Okay, well, I should get going. Yeah.

Call me later.

Yeah.

And I'll definitely do that call thing.

Okay. All right. See you.

So I spoke to DJ Bones. Oh, I love his accent, by the way. It's very East End.

Anyway, so he can pass by at any point today, as long as you're available.

Let's do it tomorrow. I'm not really feeling like meeting with anyone.

I think I'm going to take off early for a change.

Was there anything else?

Are you mad at me about something?

Look, Kelly, I love your enthusiasm, all right? It's one of the reasons I wanted

you to work with me in the first place.

And I like that you take initiative, but I have to tell you this again.

I am in charge of Eddie's career.

Of course. I know that.

Then you need to start acting like it.

All right? I wasn't too impressed with you trying to push Lauren on him again.

I'm sorry. I didn't think that I was pushing anything. I just said that they

worked well together.

And then you said that we shouldn't decide who we can work with.

We can't.

I know that, but that doesn't mean you have to shine a light on that fact.

But he asked.

That doesn't mean you have to give a full answer.

You need to check with me first.

You're right. I'm sorry.

It won't happen again.

What is your fascination with Lauren?

I'm a fan. I think that Lauren could be really great.

Maybe. But right now, she is not our client. Let's just focus on our clients.

Maybe she should be our client.

It says Jake Madsen on the door.

That means I make the decisions on who our clients are.

Did you forget something?

Hey.

What's up?

Hey. Shrimp.

Four different flavors.

Perfect. Thanks.

Yeah, I just saw Lauren in the elevator.

Oh, yeah, we were working on her song.

Um, and to answer your next question, no, her mom didn't come with her.

Well, that's too bad.

Yeah. How'd it go?

Really well.

You know, it was nice to have a distraction from all that drama.

Yeah. How are you holding up?

Good.

I mean, I haven't thought about Chloe and that whole mess in a few hours,

so... Well, good. No need to obsess, you know?

Thanks.

So, you want me to bottle up everything?

No, I think you should allow yourself to feel everything you're feeling and

maybe, you know, use that to recharge your creative batteries, if I may.

Yeah.

I mean, I think it's already working, you know.

Lauren and I came up with a few really great things today.

Good, good. I'll show you after we're done eating.

I can't wait.

Yeah, and I didn't know how I was going to feel about working with a partner,

you know, but it turns out we make a pretty good team.

Yeah, well, my work got that much better once I met your mother, you know.

Yeah.

I mean, I was surprised, you know. It was so easy working with her.

You should do it again.

No, we will. Only we have plans on doing that.

Turns out we're pretty in sync creatively.

Sounds like a start of a beautiful friendship.

Or something.

Hey, how you holding up?

Good. Really.

Why don't you guys start setting up?

I just want to make sure that you're comfortable with all of this.

Absolutely. But I do have one request.

I want my mom, Jackie, to be part of the interview.

Okay.

It's just really important to Eddie that he knows that we've reconnected and that

I've forgiven her.

Mom, come say hi to Lily.

Very nice to see you again, Jackie.

You too.

Now, you're not going to embarrass my daughter, are you?

No, of course not. Mom, she's my friend. That's why I called her here.

Can I speak to you alone for a moment, please?

Yeah, sure.

This is your plan to get Eddie back? You want to put Mom on camera?

He's very sensitive about that relationship, especially since he lost

his own mother. I want him to know that we've made amends.

You really think that's going to work?

I want Eddie to know how much I love him and that his wishes are very important

to me.

Come on, Chloe. You're talking to me, all right? And the cameras aren't

rolling yet.

You don't love Eddie.

You just want to be with him because he's a rock star.

I love Eddie very much.

He means everything to me.

I can't imagine my life without him.

How was that?

It was good.

Strong. Do you want to do the interview or not?

Oh, I want to do the interview.

This is going to win awards.

I admit it.

I had an affair, but it was with someone from my past.

He threatened to expose me if I didn't give in to his every sick and twisted

whim. Are you saying that he blackmailed you?

Yes. And why do you think he would do that?

It's hard to say. Maybe he was jealous of my relationship with Eddie.

Is there a lesson that can be taken away from this experience?

Yes.

Always stay true to yourself.

I got so caught up in trying to create this perfect image for Eddie and for the

public that I lost track of my true self.

Now, how are you getting through all of this?

A lot of soul-searching.

And my mother has been a great comfort to me.

Now, isn't there a little irony in that?

Wasn't one of the lies that you told Eddie that your mother was dead?

Yes, she was part of the past that I was running away from, that I was denying.

And how did you feel about that, Jackie, when you found out that Chloe was

telling people that you were dead?

Um, sad and hurt.

Angry. But I understood it.

She had a difficult childhood, and I take responsibility for that.

I can see why she would want to forget all about that.

Mom, it's okay.

We've put the past behind us.

I failed her as a mother.

But you're here now, and that's what's important.

That's beautiful.

Now, Chloe, I want you to do just one thing for me.

I want you to pretend that I'm Eddie Duran. What would you say to me?

I'd say that I'm sorry that I lied about my past and where I was from.

I'd say that I'm sorry that I got taken advantage of.

Eddie, if you're watching this, I want you to forgive me.

Hello? Adriana, it's Phil's mother.

Oh, hi, Mrs. Sanders. What can I do for you?

I'm looking for Phil.

Oh. Yeah, I don't... I don't know where he is.

He wasn't at school today.

I'm worried sick about him.

Me too.

You know, it's not like Phil. I usually talk to him a couple times a day.

Listen, Adriana, you can tell me where he is. He's not in trouble. I just want

to know that he's safe.

Yeah, I... I'm sorry, I don't... I don't know, Mrs. Sanders.

Call me Lisa.

I want to tell you something.

The other morning when you came to the house looking for Phil, that was the

night of the warehouse robbery. You said that he wasn't with you, so he has no

alibi for that night.

I've known about this all along, Adriana, and I haven't told anyone.

Why not?

Because I need to protect him.

I don't care what he's up to. I just want him to be safe.

I would never do anything to hurt Phil.

Me either, Lisa.

Look, you should know that he's safe.

Thank God.

So you've seen him?

Yeah.

Where is he?

He's in the shower.

I just... I want you to know that I'm really grateful for this opportunity

that you've given me and that I won't do anything to jeopardize that.

I appreciate that.

Everything that I do, it's for the business. It's to make it stronger, to

make it better.

You have my loyalty.

Well, I appreciate that, too.

Are you still going to see the rock opera girl tonight?

Yeah, she has two shows. I should be at one of them.

Well, thank you again for doing that.

I'm going to take off. Make sure you lock the door on your way out.

Yeah, I'll do that.

I value loyalty above everything else, Kelly.

And I make a point to repay that loyalty.

All right? You follow by my rules for a while, and you will be rewarded. I

promise you that.

Was it flirty? Was it dirty? Was it dirty, dirty flirty? He was being

professional and kind of playful.

Flirty, nice.

He wasn't flirting.

Maybe a little.

Oh, I'm so jealous.

When you were playing the piano, did your hands touch inadvertently?

Or inadvertently, it doesn't matter.

Hands did touch.

Oh, my God, I can't believe it. Flesh on flesh with Eddie Duran.

Did he smell good?

Like expensive soap.

Did he really ask you to write another song with him?

Yeah, he was like, hey, can I call you later?

He's your phone number programmed into his phone.

I bet you're even on speed dial.

Isn't that crazy?

Okay, wait, wait, wait. Take a step back and look at the bigger picture, though.

Your song, co-written with Eddie Duran, is going to be on the radio. I don't

know if they're going to release it as a single.

No, they definitely will.

We need to figure out what you're wearing to the Grammys next year.

Oh.

Is that my phone? Thanks.

Is it your boyfriend, Eddie? Oh, it's not Eddie, right? Oh, well, thanks. Who

is it, Kelly? Oh.

Hello? Your song is fabulous.

Thank you. I'm really excited about it. Okay, so I was wondering if you wanted

to get together this week, talk about material and some game plans.

Yeah, when works for you?

I don't know, later this week.

Okay, yeah, just text me when I wear.

Okay.

What? What happened? Where's your computer? Adam just texted me that Chloe

didn't interview with Lily Park. We have to do this. Oh!

You running away again?

What? No, just the opposite. I found the most adorable little apartment online.

It's Beverly Hills adjacent.

I thought it could be our little love nest. I heard you on the phone.

Yeah, no, the manager said I could view it in like half an hour. Do you want to

come?

No.

We're not ready for this.

Why not?

I gotta put together some Benjamins first.

Okay, babe, you know that a lot of places let you put a deposit on your

credit card.

It's not happening right now.

No way in the... I got a plan. I just... I need you to be patient.

And have an open mind.

What kind of plan?

Another robbery?

I want to hear all about it.

My phone is blowing up. My old agent just texted me.

Everyone thinks that I'm coming across so good on camera.

She's so sweet. I feel kind of bad for firing her.

Well, I'm glad you think it went well, babe.

I hope Eddie saw it.

OMG, I am trending on Twitter.

Oh, wonderful.

Oh, come on, Mom. You don't even know what it means. It's a good thing.

Can you imagine if I actually got acting offers from this?

Well, I thought this was supposed to be about getting Eddie back.

Of course it is, yes, but I have a pretty good idea what my next move is

gonna be, and I need your help.

I'm not so sure I'm up for that. Mom, come on. I just want you to go talk to

Eddie and tell him that everything I said about Tyler was true.

That I love Eddie and I want to be with him. I want him to take me back. Okay, I

don't think I can do that. Mom, come on, please. It means so much more coming

from you. You have credibility with him.

I wouldn't feel comfortable.

I thought that you wanted to be a part of my life again.

Of course I do, but not like this.

I've done too much lying.

This is just so typical.

Just when I thought that you were going to help me out. I mean, I was a fool to

think that you'd changed.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Why did you even agree to do the interview in the

first place? Because I wanted to help you.

When I saw you so down in the dumps and this idea for this interview, it just

seemed to be the only thing that would lift your spirits. Because I was doing

something about it. I was taking control of the situation.

Yeah, but honey, you weren't being smart.

This interview was just a phony dog and pony show, and Eddie's gonna see right

through it.

Is that the way you see it? Yes.

Do you really think you can guilt a man to coming back to you?

I mean, honey, you just look needy and desperate.

Do you really think that's what a man wants?

Well, Mom, if that's the way you feel about it, then you should just leave.

What?

Go back to your sad, pathetic little life in Fresno and leave me alone.

Chloe, please just be reasonable.

You have so much going for you. You just need to forget about Eddie and get on

with your life.

Thank you for reminding me, Mother, why I left that town in the first place.

Now get out.

I love you so much, and I still want to be with you.

Please take me back.

Yeah, look at that.

Holding hands with her mother. Nice touch.

Okay, um... Shut it off, Pop.

I've seen enough.

Eddie, this is a joke.

You're not really buying into that, are you? She's really reaching out to me.

She's reaching into your pocket, maybe.

Look, I get it. You don't like her. You never have.

We have pictures of her kissing another guy, Eddie.

And this whole story of her being blackmailed is just preposterous. Will

you just drop it?

Please, I don't want to talk about it with you. This should be a nail in the

coffin, Eddie.

Look at you.

Can you not be so happy about it? Do I look happy? I'm not happy when you're

sad. Of course not.

I get it. You fell in love.

It didn't work out.

Where are you going?

I just... I need to be alone.

Do you want me to go with you? No. Pop, I need to clear my head.

I failed her as a mother.

But you're here now, and that's what's important.

She's such a phony.

Who, Chloe or her mother?

Both. Although her mother was clearly coerced into going along with this. I

mean, look how uncomfortable she is.

Chloe does look pretty.

Yeah, on the outside.

If you ripped off her face, she'd look like an alien with bright red eyes and

razor teeth.

Hold on, I want to hear this.

Eddie, if you're watching this, I want you to forgive me.

I love you so much, and I still want to be with you.

Liar! Please.

Take me back. Just turn it off.

The annoying thing about that is she was actually kind of convincing.

So what? The only person she's trying to convince is Eddie, and he is way too

smart to fall for that. It's not about being smart.

He loves her.

People do dumb things when they're in love, and she had him fooled for a

really long time. Yeah, well, he's onto her now.

I hope so.

Because the worst thing would be for him to go back to her.

Worst thing for who?

You or him?

For him.

He's so messed up over her.

Hello. Eddie, you picked up.

Against my better judgment?

I know that you're still mad at me.

What do you want, Chloe?

I wanted to know if you saw the interview.

Yeah, of course I saw it. It's all over the place.

I met every word, Eddie. I miss you so much, and I love you, and I want to be

with you. I want to make things right between us.

You finished?

Tyler was lying.

You had my heart the whole time. I need you to believe me.

All right, you can stop.

I just stopped.

Can you believe me?

Don't ever call me again.

Hey, man.

Can I get another, please?
