04:17The cat's here, but this looks like the wardrobe room.
04:21Maybe I can find out where those beads came from now.
04:24Looks like the costumes are strewn everywhere.
04:48Maybe I'll put them away.
04:50I am the new production assistant, after all.
05:00For reference only.
05:02Ah, okay.
05:03Here's how I can figure out which costumes belong in which lockers.
05:07Here's how I can figure out which clones are, but this is the same.
05:12Here's how I can figure out which ones are free.
05:17There's how they are.
05:19Here's how I can figure out which ones are released.
08:22This screwdriver was used to scratch out that nameplate.
08:37Looks like someone was upset.
08:39Now, let's clean up this mess.
08:48Who are you?
09:18I saw Tatiana's note.
09:22She was really scared of the accidents.
09:31All these people quitting?
09:32All these people quitting?
09:33They're such wusses.
09:35So what if the set is cursed?
09:36Nobody's died or even gotten hurt.
09:38What the heck is their problem?
09:40By any chance is your costume...
09:43Is your costume missing a bead?
09:52Do you get upset when you read those tabloid articles by...
09:57By Lydia Lynn?
09:59By Lydia Lynn?
10:03Upset?
10:03Did they spell my name wrong?
10:06No, they spelled it right.
10:08Why would I get upset?
10:10It's free publicity.
10:11Actually, there's two stories in there about me.
10:14Well, technically, the second one's about Lois Manson, but it's kind of about me, seeing as how I'm playing the part she played in the first Pharaoh movie before she bit it.
10:23Or should I say, before the snake bit her?
10:27How did the name play on your locker?
10:32How did it get all scratched up?
10:34I don't know.
10:35It happened a couple of days ago.
10:36Apparently, somebody doesn't like me.
10:39Although I have no idea why.
10:41I mean, as far as stars go, I'm nice as can be.
10:45So just buzz off, Mr. Name Scratcher-Outer, whoever you are.
10:49Were you on the set?
10:58Were you on the set when the scaffolding collapsed?
11:01No.
11:01Just so happens, I got a call from my agent saying to meet him in the Casbah.
11:06That's the lounge near the hotel we're all staying at.
11:08So I went over there, and the next thing I knew, the crew came in saying there'd been another accident, and we were done for the night.
11:16Hey, you should head over to the Casbah and meet the people you'll be working with.
11:20George is there.
11:21George Jackson.
11:22He's the director.
11:24Me, I think I'll go lie down.
11:26Being nice all the time is exhausting.
11:28I think I'll take Edith's advice and check out the Casbah.
11:50Hey there.
11:51Are you the new production assistant?
11:52Me?
11:53Oh, yeah.
11:54I could really use some help here behind the bar.
11:56What do you say to taking care of a few of these smoothie orders?
11:59Well, sure.
12:01Why not?
12:02This should be the perfect opportunity to hear some local gossip.
12:06They say the first pharaoh director was so obsessed with ancient Egypt that he'd sleep on the set instead of going home.
12:29Maybe he slept on the set because his wife kicked him out of the house.
12:32No, he was happily married.
12:35That's what drove Lois Manson bonkers.
12:38I heard when that snake bit Lois Manson, she didn't so much as gasp.
12:42It killed her so quick.
12:44I've been stuck in this Anubis head ever since Tatiana quit.
12:49It's no fun getting all your nutrition through a straw, let me tell ya.
12:54One of the grips told me the reason they've been doing so many takes of Eda is because a shadow keeps showing up behind her on a video playback.
13:04What do you mean, uh, a shadow?
13:07It's like a dark blur just over her shoulder.
13:12Vid tech can't figure it out.
13:15Did you know?
13:16Our fearless director over there sure looks happy.
13:19It's the rattlesnake he's drinking.
13:21Can't get enough of him.
13:22What's in those things anyway?
13:24Blueberries, orange slices, and peanut butter.
13:27Always serve with a snake rattle swizzle stick.
13:29You ever want to have a nice long chat with George Jackson, just put a rattlesnake down in front of him and it'll open right up.
13:36Hmm, that's a good tip.
13:38I need to meet George Jackson.
13:40One rattlesnake smoothie for George.
13:43Coming right up.
13:56Ah, there we go.
13:59My favorite thirst quencher.
14:01You must be the new production assistant, Nancy Drew.
14:05I'm George Jackson, director of films, lover of rattlesnakes.
14:10I hear Arthur Hitchens is...
14:13I hear Arthur Hitchens is really making you angry.
14:42I hear Arthur Hitchens and I get angry these days.
14:44That's not true.
14:45I swear, if the members of this crew were half as good at working as they are at spreading rumors, we would have repped this picture two weeks ago.
14:53I don't know who told you that, but Arthur Hitchens and I get along just fine.
14:56Will your version of Pharaoh be similar to the original Pharaoh movie?
15:00My film will be nothing like the cheesy, overwrought monstrosity classic studio spewed out 75 years ago.
15:08My Pharaoh will be spectacular in every sense of the word.
15:12I do intend to shoot the climactic death scene in exactly the same way, shot for shot, as the original director.
15:20You know, as a kind of intellectual exercise.
15:23But even then, I guarantee you there will be no mistaking my work for his.
15:28I hear Eda...
15:32I hear Eda can be hard to work with.
15:40Directing Eda has been a challenge, but fortunately I love challenges.
15:46Thus, I love Eda.
15:47Every self-centered, scatterbrained, ophidiophobic square inch of her.
15:52Ophidiophobic?
15:53She's afraid of snakes.
15:55Something she conveniently failed to mention until after she'd signed a contract.
16:01See, the climax of the film happens when her character, Nefertiti, tries to murder someone using a poisonous snake.
16:08Which means to shoot that scene, Eda has to be ready, willing and able to hold a live snake.
16:14Non-poisonous, of course.
16:16What if she won't do it?
16:18Oh, she'll do it.
16:19Like it or not, Eda is going to do that final scene just like it was done in the original.
16:27Why do you think this production of Pharaoh is...
16:32Why is this production having so many accidents?
16:40Molly McKenna, the mad course cutter.
16:43It's her fault.
16:44Any time you have a producer whose first concern is money and last concern is safety, what do you get?
16:51Accidents.
16:52So you don't believe?
17:03You don't believe in any curse?
17:05All I know is...
17:07Sometimes it seems like that lady is deliberately trying to sabotage her own shoot.
17:11I'll let you get back to your... rattlesnake.
17:15For that, I thank you.
17:18I'd sure like to get Arthur's take on all this.
17:21Maybe I'll head over to his office.
17:23Looks like Arthur isn't here.
17:42Which means it's a good time to snoop for that decoder.
