Transcript

00:00And that's why I choose the Brain Goose Bar.

00:02Tastes like candy, works like magic.

00:04Ugh, no, no, no. Delete that footage now.

00:08Cut, cut, cuts!

00:10Dylan, I said to either chew with your back teeth

00:13or smile with your mouth closed.

00:16Sorry, I was just following directions.

00:19I will not risk having the Dylan Daniels

00:23seen as anything less than picture perfect.

00:26He's gonna be the next teen heartthrob in a few years.

00:30But not with a smile full of crap.

00:32The client wanted him to take a bite and smile just like he did.

00:37I didn't want him to take a bite at all.

00:39So this is a compromise.

00:42Remind your client about how many of these disgusting bars

00:47they are going to sell because my son is advertising it.

00:52Capisce?

00:52It seems like you're always working, huh?

00:58I mean, don't get me wrong, you're a talented kid,

01:00but do you have me to break?

01:02You will not believe who just got an audition

01:04for a series regular on a Netflix show.

01:08Oh!

01:10You gotta call the accountant.

01:14Thanks for showing me around campus.

01:16Being a new student is...

01:18Oh, no, no, no.

01:20It is new kid, not new student.

01:24Fix your posture.

01:26You look like an awkward shrimp.

01:28I'm standing like this because I'm exhausted.

01:31Can we take a break, please?

01:33No!

01:34We are doing this till you get it right.

01:37This is a serious lead.

01:38We are talking major bucks here.

01:42And do you know who just signed on to this project?

01:47Russell Grant.

01:50He's got like three Emmys and an Oscar.

01:53Okay, so come on, let's take it from the top again

01:55and get it right this time, all right?

01:59But I can't get it right unless I have my break.

02:01Please.

02:02My acting coach calls this rehearsal fatigue.

02:05I've never heard of that, okay?

02:08Let's go again from the top.

02:14Can I get a hot dog?

02:16You're kidding, right?

02:18You can't eat that crap.

02:20You're on a special diet.

02:21We need to keep you in perfect shape.

02:28Elephants are always my favorite.

02:30My birth parents always tell me to the zoo to see them.

02:32Oh, here we go again in another sad monologue about his dad parents.

02:38Can I get a balloon in him?

02:41Oh.

02:42No.

02:43We are not wasting our money on those clown constructions.

02:48Would be better to use that money for classes or for new headshots?

02:51Mm-hmm.

02:53But you guys have never even taken me to the zoo.

02:55Dylan!

02:57So great to run into you.

02:59I see you've been busy with all the movies.

03:02Mm-hmm.

03:03This is Penny, my daughter.

03:05Hi.

03:06Hi.

03:07This is the boy whose case I handled.

03:10Thank you again for matching us with him.

03:13Life has been a complete dream since we adopted Dylan.

03:17Isn't that right, Dylan?

03:18Yeah.

03:19Oh, my God.

03:20No way.

03:20You're Dylan Daniel.

03:21Can we get a photo with you?

03:22Um, I don't really need...

03:23Of course, but it's $25 a photo.

03:27Oh, yeah.

03:28We never say no to photos.

03:30Yeah, of course.

03:31Do you have Venmo?

03:33Oh, yeah.

03:41Rise and shine, kid.

03:43You've got a lot of work to do.

03:45What's going on?

03:46The new series takes place at a performing arts school, and your character is an undercover agent.

03:53So, we signed you up for a few lessons, because casting, they're going to want to see skill clips.

04:00So, shut up.

04:01Come on.

04:05First off, you're going to be taking voice lessons.

04:09Oh, get it right.

04:13You're making my ears bleed.

04:15We also need to get you ready for stunts, so we hired a wrestling coach to train you.

04:21You okay?

04:22You look a little pale.

04:23Just a little.

04:27Terrible.

04:28You sure?

04:29Oh, my head hurts.

04:32Okay.

04:32I'm going to need an update of physical from Dylan's PC.

04:35Open up.

04:40Um.

04:41Again?

04:42Uh.

04:43Dylan's heart rate is too low.

04:45He's underweight, and the stress and the lack of sleep are taking a toll.

04:52I can't clear him right now.

04:54He needs rest, better nutrition, maybe someone to talk to.

05:00Excuse me.

05:01Be right.

05:05No matter what, you're going to have to push through.

05:09You can't miss this opportunity.

05:18We are going to push you, but it'll all be worth it once you are making the big bucks.

05:22Fresh off the lot.

05:37Isn't she a beauty?

05:38You got a new car?

05:40Just a little celebratory purchase, and she just got a call back.

05:44We thought it made sense to treat ourselves.

05:46Shouldn't I be getting something to celebrate?

05:49I mean, isn't that my money?

05:52Do you have any idea how ungrateful you sound right now?

05:57We're the ones that took you in and gave you these opportunities.

06:02Without us, you would still be a little nobody orphan in a foster home.

06:08Hmm?

06:10Think about that.

06:11Okay.

06:12Come on, let's go for a ride.

06:13Woo!

06:14Got that laser-focused look about you.

06:22Remember the Daniels boy?

06:24The most famous case to come through here?

06:26Yeah.

06:27Well, I ran into him a couple weeks ago.

06:31Something seemed off.

06:33So I look into his file.

06:38And?

06:39And?

06:39And I'm requesting a visit.

06:44Patricia should be here any minute.

06:49So we're going to need you to put on your acting hat.

06:52And act super chipper.

06:54Got it?

06:55None of that sad boy stuff you pulled at the park.

06:58Yeah.

06:58So let us see that million dollar smile.

07:04That a boy.

07:09Oh, smile.

07:10Smile.

07:10Tricia!

07:16Welcome.

07:16Come in.

07:17Thanks for letting me swing by.

07:20Take a seat.

07:22Thanks for coming.

07:23Sit down.

07:23Nice to see you.

07:25Dylan.

07:28Wow.

07:29Don't tell me you did all this for me.

07:32Oh, please.

07:33It is the least we could do for giving us the light of our lives.

07:38So, how's your first year as an official family been?

07:45There aren't words.

07:46How you been selling in here, Dylan?

07:49It's been great.

07:50I really love it.

07:52Mom and dad are the best.

07:53Oh, I never get tired of hearing that.

07:58Mom.

07:59Dad.

08:04Oh.

08:05No, no, no.

08:06Dylan.

08:07You know you're not allowed to have any of that stuff.

08:10Rick, can you go get Dylan's veggies and fruit from the kitchen?

08:15Sure.

08:16Yeah.

08:19Did Dylan develop any kind of gluten allergy?

08:24Oh, no, no, no, no.

08:26He's just on a special diet.

08:28Because he is in training for a very important role.

08:34Did you book something?

08:36Oh, no.

08:37Not yet.

08:37But he made it to the next round.

08:40They have asked him to come in for a screen test next week.

08:45Congratulations.

08:46That's fantastic.

08:47Thanks.

08:48I couldn't do it without the...

08:50Oh.

08:52I know.

08:52Well, if you have some time, it's my daughter's birthday, and we would love to see you there.

09:04I love that.

09:06I'm not sure that we can...

09:12Well, I would be concerned that there might be fans there, and we don't want to take away from you.

09:18Yeah, don't worry.

09:19I'll make sure every picture with Dylan is $25 each.

09:23Oh.

09:26That's funny.

09:28He's just so busy with lessons and rehearsal and...

09:32Yes.

09:33I just figure he's 12, right?

09:35So he can do a regular thing as a kid.

09:38Unless you're treating him as an adult.

09:41Uh...

09:41No.

09:43No, no, no, no.

09:45We would love to go.

09:47Uh, we're just a little overprotective of our little guy here.

09:51Aww.

09:52Aww.

09:54Aww.

09:56Okay, so we will be kept in a couple hours, okay?

10:04You're not staying?

10:05I thought we could spend some time together.

10:08You want to spend time with us?

10:10Then get back to training.

10:12In the meantime, we've got some shopping to do.

10:14Come on, babe.

10:15Come on, babe.

10:20Dylan!

10:23Oh, it's so great that you made it!

10:25Where are your parents?

10:27They had to run.

10:28Oh.

10:31Where do I put the gifts?

10:32I take that.

10:33Why are you going to go play with some of the other kids?

10:35Come on, we're playing cornhole, and I need a partner.

10:38Hey, aren't you the kid in that one movie with the aliens?

10:52Um, yeah.

10:54You're a lot cooler in person.

10:56Happy birthday, dear Penny.

11:12Happy birthday to you.

11:15Woo!

11:16Woo!

11:17Woo-hoo!

11:19Thanks, Mom.

11:20Here you go.

11:22Trust me, it's my favorite cake, like ever.

11:27Are you having fun?

11:36Yeah.

11:36This is the most fun I've had in a long time.

11:39I wish I could have a birthday party like this with lots of friends one day.

11:43My parents, my real parents, used to throw me birthday parties like this.

11:50My parents now, Carrie and Rick, they keep me too busy to actually do anything fun.

11:56You know, you have every right to be just a kid.

12:02You're only young ones.

12:04And I don't know if this will cheer you up.

12:07And I know it's my daughter's birthday, but I got you a little something.

12:15Because you've always been like a son to me.

12:17I remember you telling me how much you enjoyed seeing the elephants at the zoo with your parents.

12:28Plus, elephants represent friendship.

12:32So now you know you have a friend in me.

12:35Thank you for this.

12:36I haven't smiled, really smiled, since my parents were here.

12:41I think about them every day.

12:44We used to hang out, go to the zoo, the arcade, play games.

12:53And the one day I decided to spend time without them,

12:58I was at a sleepover when it was a gas leak at our house.

13:05Both of my parents died in their sleep.

13:09What do you think you're doing?

13:11But it's my cheat day.

13:12Not this close to the screen test, it's not.

13:15Sorry, but we have to run.

13:16Thanks for having him.

13:18This is cute.

13:20Bye, Patricia.

13:23Bye.

13:27Come on!

13:28Pick up the pace!

13:30The faster you move, the faster we can all go home.

13:35You have four more laps.

13:37Was all that junk food worth it?

13:48You good?

13:50Oh, hi.

13:52Uh, yeah.

13:52I'm just doing some digging.

13:55When you dig in for a mine?

13:57Never seen you like this.

13:59Something's up with Dylan.

14:02Didn't you just do a visit?

14:03Mm-hmm.

14:05Yeah.

14:05But I need something concrete, you know.

14:08He's not safe there.

14:16Uh-huh.

14:17Will you cut it out?

14:27Sorry.

14:32You better put those nerves aside and pull yourself together.

14:35Hmm?

14:36This is no time to choke.

14:39And don't slouch.

14:42I hate when you slouch.

14:43You are already a star.

14:53So you've got a leg up on them.

14:55But you have to wow them in there.

14:59Failure is not an option.

15:04Dylan Daniels?

15:08You can follow me.

15:11How are you?

15:12And action.

15:15I've never known you to fail a mission.

15:18You never let me think it was possible.

15:20Now did you?

15:21You got something else you want to say?

15:23Maybe.

15:25Well, go ahead.

15:26Go for it.

15:27Spill it.

15:27What's the point?

15:28You don't listen.

15:30That's my job.

15:31Isn't it?

15:32I'm so tired of this.

15:33Tired of?

15:35This.

15:36All of this.

15:37You know?

15:38Sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm even human.

15:40Because you treat me more like an avatar in a video game more than your own son.

15:45Every decision I make, I do with you in my ear.

15:48But I never ask for this life.

15:50I don't like this life.

15:51But here I am.

15:53Existing in it.

15:54Not living.

15:55Just existing.

15:57Because of you.

15:58For you.

15:59I don't even know what it means to be a kid.

16:02To be normal.

16:05Stanley.

16:06Just...

16:07Do you even love me?

16:11Look at me.

16:12I said look at me.

16:14I may have failed the mission, but you failed me as a father.

16:17And cut.

16:24Whew.

16:28Great job, Dylan.

16:32You was amazing.

16:34Congratulations, Mrs. Starr Daniels.

17:02What's going on?

17:05You got the role.

17:08Think of all we could buy with that money.

17:1275K per episode.

17:16And I think that is just the beginning.

17:18You know, you have every right to just be a kid.

17:22I'm not taking the role.

17:30What?

17:31What did you just say?

17:33I'm not taking the role.

17:34I'm not doing it.

17:37Are you joking?

17:39What?

17:39What, have you become method now?

17:41No, I'm serious.

17:42You guys weren't acting for me.

17:44I just wanted to be a kid.

17:45Not some child star.

17:46You ungrateful little brat.

17:54Do you have any idea of the money that we have sunk into training for you to get this gig?

17:59You know what?

18:00You are taking this series, okay?

18:02Whether you like it or not.

18:04Do you hear me?

18:05Who is that?

18:06Stay right here.

18:07We will talk about this in a minute.

18:10What?

18:10Hi.

18:11I'm with CPS.

18:12Are you Carrie and Rick Daniels?

18:16Yes.

18:18Why?

18:19What's going on here?

18:20You've been reported for forcing a child to do acting jobs against his will.

18:25For forging a doctor's signature on medical forums.

18:29For using emotional manipulation and verbal abuse.

18:33And for using physical exertion for punishment.

18:37Those things are all violations of parental standards.

18:41But there are also violations of the law as well.

18:45You're being placed under arrest for child endangerment, forgery, emotional abuse, and unlawful child labor.

18:57Dylan.

18:58Tell her that isn't true.

19:00Come on, buddy.

19:02Tell them about how well we treat you.

19:05Oh?

19:07I'm done pretending for you guys.

19:09Wait.

19:12Hold on.

19:12What is it?

19:13Stop.

19:18Guess I'm going back into the system.

19:22Says who?

19:24Patricia.

19:25You did this for me?

19:28What are friends made for?

19:30If I'm not going back into the system, where am I going?

19:33You stay with me.

19:34I'm not going back into the system.

19:35I'm not going back into the system.

19:36I'm not going back into the system.

19:37I'm not going back into the system.

19:38I'm not going back into the system.

19:39I'm not going back into the system.

19:40I'm not going back into the system.

19:41I'm not going back into the system.

19:42I'm not going back into the system.

19:43I'm not going back into the system.

19:44I'm not going back into the system.

19:45I'm not going back into the system.

19:46I'm not going back into the system.

19:47I'm not going back into the system.

19:48I'm not going back into the system.

19:49I'm not going back into the system.

19:50I'm not going back into the system.

19:51Amen.
