-Previously on "Get Shorty"...

-I was hoping you might be able
to help me out with a job.

-I'd love to help you.

Only we're not hiring anyone
outside of assistants.

-Okay, then, I'll take it.
-Honey?

-It's an audition for
a "Tootsie" musical.

I'm not gonna get it because
there are big names attached.

-Amara's life ended right there.

It's my job
to tell Amara's story.

-I'm just excited...

to get out there
and follow that dream.

-Where's the shit
you took from Miles?

-I don't have it anymore, man.

-And you're off work
at what time?

-6:15.

I have to get a signaturefrom my boss before I can leave,

then I take the 209 bus
down Arlington to Inglewood.

Unless I'm running late.

If I'm running late,
I just forget about the 209,

take the 111 and walk
from the corner of Washington.

-What time did you get home?

You have the sign-in sheet
there.

You say you got along
with Thaddeus Foley, but --

-Who's that, now?
-Thaddeus Foley.

"Track."

-Track's real name was Thaddeus?

[ Chuckles ]

-If it was me and someone
planted a joint in my locker

and nearly got me sent back,
I don't know what I'd do.

I'd be so damn angry, I'd --
-Sorry, are you...

are you saying that Track

is the one that planted
the joint in my locker?

Because that's news to me.
Yeah.

I mean, that would have
pissed me off.

Did -- Did someone say
that he did that?

-You told the house manager
that --

-That it wasn't mine,
which is all I know.

Personally,
I never touch the stuff.

Now, I had an aunt used to
take it for her glaucoma.

But she's long gone.

-That's it for now.

-Oh, okay.

Well, best of luck.

-Okay.

-Let's go.

-This is the living room,

Bedroom's back there.

First month's rent is on us.

After that, it's up to you.

-Yeah.

This is a nice place.

It's in my name?

-Yep.

You got to build up
that credit, homey.

Now...

The gun's clean.

Cash will get you started.

But this is no free ride.

You got to earn.

Back in Nevada,
I pulled in 15K a week, easy.

-Collection is just

Hmm.
You're a junior lieutenant now.

You got to innovate,

Oh, and the groomer was asking

-These directors.

-Laurence chewed me out on
Thursday when it was just $8.2.

Said I needed to assert myself.

Really? Really?

Just assert myself to till

-You know, I could --
I could help if you want.

I've got a buddy
over at Parr's company.

He's only mid-level, but I know
that Jordan respects him,

so if you wanted to get
the numbers down,

I could have a word.

-Hmm.

See, what worries me is that

you don't even realize
how inappropriate it is

for an assistant
to comment on this,

let alone make a call.

-I'm only trying to help.
-Get messages.

That would be helpful.

Oh, and confirm the producers'"Wylderness 2" meeting tomorrow.

-Sorry, did you say
"Wylderness 2"?

-Yeah, the sequel.

Did you see the first one?

It's better than it sounds.

-And you're making another one.
Isn't that something.

Is there, um...
is there a script?

-No, we're hearing pitches.

Can you get the door

not to cast you.

April says it's fine because
she's downsizing anyways.

it's irrelevant.

-Katie left Emma with me
when she was a toddler once.

One weekend, and I was ready
to drop her off at a firehouse.

-I'm trying to be okay with it.
You're making me feel worse.

You see anybody?
-No.

-There's no way Amara would stayat Rick's house.

in the kitchen.

Some soda and white wine.

-How long's it been since
you guys last saw each other?

-Couple years.
-Did you miss me?

I know that you helped Miles
at Porterville.

So...

thank you.

-We helped each other out.

Things work out
with that director?

-Which director?

-We'll talk later.

-Hey, all right.

If you guys want to have a
private conversation, go ahead.

No, I'll just get

-What's...What's that?

-Nothing.

He...

The director
brought the budget down,

but we're gonna have
to pay him another visit.

-Why?
-Well, we scared him

into making cuts,

and now he's gone
and ruined half the script.

You know the scene on the
bridge, that emotional payoff?

-Mm-hmm.
-He just fucking lifted it.

-Would your boss care?

-It would be a shame to ruin
an interesting film.

-No.
No, no, I'm not gonna ask

my crew to go back

she's not with us anymore.

-She's dead?

-No way.

-Yeah. It's --

I couldn't post it
on Facebook, I mean...

she was a fugitive.

But I'll tell you what happened,

and then we can all just say
something in her honor.

-Is this a memorial service?
-Get the fuck out.

-Okay, I don't know if you know
this, but before Amara left LA,

she and I were engaged.

-Ed said you bought her a ring.
-130 grand.

-$130,000?

Why would you do that?
-It's not important.

Okay.

Amara went to Guatemala,
