00:00Yeah.
00:06Well, that was hard to watch.
00:10I almost poked my eye out.
00:12No one's stopping you.
00:13Don't you think it's a little irresponsible to be going on a date while you're supposed to be working?
00:16Ever heard of multitasking?
00:18I'm your sober companion, Phoenix, not your prisoner.
00:21Plus, if it bothered you so much that George asked me, why didn't you?
00:27Exactly.
00:27Don't worry.
00:30I'm sure that your brainless bimbos will step up for you.
00:33Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date waiting for me.
00:36And a rock gal to prep for.
00:49Dude, look alive.
00:51Top players in the music industry are here.
00:54They're not fucking drinking tonight.
00:57Can I see him later?
01:00Whoa.
01:01Phoenix Walker dying to drink and turn to a girl?
01:04Get me a snowboard because hell just froze over.
01:07Hey, wow, dude.
01:25Your girl's on fire.
01:25She's not my fucking girl.
01:28Hey.
01:33You okay, bro?
01:34Yeah, I'm fine.
01:38Hey, what's up?
01:43Oh my god, who is that?
01:46She's a movie star or something?
01:49Still stuffing your face, Lennon?
01:51Some things never change, huh?
01:53Sabrina?
01:53What is my high school bully doing here?
01:56Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:58What do you think?
01:59Phoenix invited me.
02:00Phoenix asked Sabrina, the girl he cheated on me with, to be his date?
02:04You look surprised.
02:07You're not still chasing after him four years later like a sad stray, are you?
02:11We're not in high school anymore, Sabrina.
02:12I don't have to take your shit.
02:14It was your own fault that Phoenix dumped you.
02:16You could have dieted, exercised, anything.
02:19But if somebody has to look at this every day, they're going to get sick.
02:24It's disgusting.
02:25You know what else I find disgusting?
02:27The fact that you're still the same mean girl that you were in high school, looking for
02:31any scrap of attention.
02:32Are you still giving out blowjobs for free, or do you charge minimum wage now?
02:39You're going to regret that, Lennon.
02:41Because you see, I came prepared.
02:42Good evening, everyone.
02:49My name is Sabrina, and I'm Phoenix Walker's girlfriend.
02:53We have a very special guest with us tonight, an old friend, Lennon Michael.
02:59And we prepared a surprise for her.
03:01You ready, Lennon?
03:02Hey, Lennon, don't fucking cry.
03:26I've got to run.
03:27God, why won't my feet move?
03:29This is bad.
03:30Let's get Phoenix.
03:32God, Lennon, is that really you?
03:37You see now, Lennon?
03:39You can squeeze yourself into a designer dress every day of the week, but at the end of that
03:43day, this is what people will see of you.
03:47You know, I almost wish we had some barbecue sauce here now.
03:50They look the good old days.
03:51Although I spot a little bit of chocolate cake, and I feel like that will do the trick.
03:57Oh, my God.
03:58And you know what goes great with ganache?
04:06Why?
04:07Why?
04:18Stay the fuck away from my girl.
04:22Fuck away from my girl.
04:23You're okay.
04:34Get to fucking swoop in like that ice guy.
04:36She was your fucking date, and you're still there like a pussy.
04:40And you.
04:41Phoenix, I was just...
04:42You were just fucking running your mouth and ruining my gala.
04:45Yeah.
04:45You know, I should have done this shit four years ago with Beverly to never been.
04:57Don't let her fucking touch her again.
04:59I'm the biggest fucking rock star in the world, and I can ruin you any fucking way I want.
05:04Security, get the fuck out of here.
05:06Get off of me.
05:08Get off of me.
05:10Oh, Phoenix, you set me up!
05:12You're actually out, actually, you're a fuck, and then you're just going to abandon me when you did the uptick four years ago?
05:18Let go of me!
05:19Oh, fuck you!
05:21Phoenix didn't sleep with Sabrina the night you dumped me.
05:24I have to get out of here.
05:36I have to get out of here.
05:49You're disgusting, you're disgusting
05:51you're disgusting
05:57what is it?
05:59oh, oh, oh
06:03you're disgusting
06:05you're disgusting
06:07alright, alright
06:09is that really you?
06:13you're disgusting
06:15What are you doing?
06:22What are you doing?
06:26It's none of your fucking business.
06:31Come here.
06:45Why are you doing this to yourself, Lennon?
06:54It's the same reasons why you drink it.
06:58It helps calm me down.
07:01It's basically fucked up.
07:03Yeah, well, so is inviting Sabrina to be her date.
07:06I didn't ask her to be my date. I called her there to call her out about what she did to you.
07:10And you think that humiliating her in front of hundreds of people, that that's just going to make everything okay?
07:17Hurting people, that's, that's Sabrina. That's not me.
07:21So you hurt yourself instead?
07:27I'll come here.
07:34Nobody's perfect, Lennon.
07:35I'll come here to the clinic.
07:37But for more understanding, you buried fucking close to it.
07:43Four years ago, the night that we broke up, did you really have sex with Sabrina?
07:53Did you really have sex with Sabrina?
07:56After last night you turned around and you slept with my bully?
07:59I hate you!
08:00And I never want to see you again!
08:03No.
08:05I never had sex with Sabrina.
08:06There's only one girl I've worn in for the last four years.
08:09You, Lennon.
08:11And I'm tired of fucking waiting for you to admit that you want me too.
08:20So, you made me believe that you slept with Sabrina so you could steal my song behind my back?
08:26I'm sorry, Lennon.
08:28I was fucking young and I was scared and I was selfish and I know that I stole your song.
08:33You fucking stole my heart.
08:36And I've never been in love with anyone else and I can't fucking lose you again.
08:42I really loved you, Phoenix.
08:45I know you did, Lennon.
08:46I never stopped loving you.
08:48I never stopped loving you.
09:16I know you were right.
09:23You sent me fucking crazy, you know what.
09:25Oh, you're crazy.
09:29Every day.
09:30Why can't it be yours?
09:48What about both?
09:53Hey.
10:00I was wearing the string the day we got signed, and I've worn it to every show so it's kind of like a lucky charm for me. I don't want you to have it.
10:09Whoa, really? Are you sure that you're not going to need it again?
10:14No. Maybe you're not.
10:17You're not going to need it again.
10:57Hey, Phoenix.
11:02You miss your old man?
11:06You gonna say hi?
11:07What the fuck are you doing here?
11:10Can't I just swing by and pay my son a visit?
11:15Phoenix, I...
11:16Who's your new girlfriend, Phoenix?
11:19Fucking business, Dad.
11:21Okay.
11:22Well, anyway, I got a little money problem.
11:2610K shit.
11:27It means I raised your fucking ass for 18 years.
11:3318 years of beating the fucking shit out of me.
11:35How the fuck could I forget, Dad?
11:38Well, if my fucking son will help me,
11:41I'll make this chick look great.
11:43Take care of your touch and I won't break your fucking head.
11:47Tell you how I remember.
11:52Tell you how I remember.
11:53Phoenix, no.
11:58He's not worth it.
12:02My son has grown to be a man just like his daddy.
12:06You're an abusive piece of shit.
12:08Phoenix is nothing like you.
12:10So why don't you leave before security throw your ass out?
12:12You're feisty, aren't you?
12:15Listen, Missy.
12:16You want me to leave, I'll leave.
12:18But, uh...
12:19Tell me this.
12:21Aren't you supposed to be my son's sober companion?
12:25Why are you taking a shower at 8.30 in this hotel room?
12:28Tell me that.
12:29This is good.
12:30I want that money in my bank account by noon, son.
12:33If not, I'm going to have to make a visit to TMZ or your manager or both.
12:42Nice to meet you.
12:44Have a good day.
12:51It's going to be fine, man.
12:53We're going to wire him the money and he's going to leave us the fuck alone.
12:56We shouldn't have to.
12:58Phoenix, it's too complicated.
12:59Don't fucking play the It's Too Complicated card on me.
13:03We'll wait past that.
13:06I'm ready to pursue this life.
13:13Are you?
13:17Are you?
13:18Last night was a mistake and it can't happen again.
13:31What part of I'm ready to pursue this so you know I'm understanding?
13:34Oh, I understand it all too well.
13:37A boy four years ago once told me that when he took my virginity and my song.
13:42I'm pursuing this life.
13:44You're right.
13:44Those words don't mean what you think that they mean.
13:49And I won't let them hurt me again.
13:53What do I have to do to get your trust back?
13:55You want my confession?
13:57Fine.
13:58Tell the whole fucking world I stole your song.
13:59I don't give a fuck about my band.
14:01I don't give a fuck about the career.
14:02I give a fuck about you right now.
14:03Fuck, Lennon.
14:19You think that you're heroic?
14:22Romantic?
14:23Wrong.
14:24Phoenix, you're a liability.
14:25We spent one night together and your dad is already trying to blackmail us?
14:31If I lose this job, what's going to happen to my dad that's dying in a hospital bed right now as we speak?
14:37Listen, we can fix this.
14:39We'll figure it out.
14:41There's no we.
14:42Phoenix, you kiss me.
14:44They fire me.
14:46You cross the line.
14:47They blacklist me.
14:49Whatever you do, I pay the price.
14:52And you don't give a shit.
14:54Because you don't have to.
14:58But I do.
15:01The moment you stole my song,
15:04we're in two different worlds.
15:06You're a star.
15:09And I'm a nobody.
15:10Trying to keep my head above water.
15:13So please,
15:14don't say you love me.
15:16Unless you're ready to be the reason that I lose everything.
15:24Tonight is the night, folks.
15:27We've got rock music's latest sensation,
15:30Grammy winner Sharp Objects.
15:32So Phoenix,
15:34during this tour,
15:35you haven't played your mega hit Sharp Objects once.
15:38Can you tell your fans why?
15:40Sharp Objects is,
15:48and it's always going to be the song
15:50that was closest to my heart.
15:52But,
15:53I'm never going to sing it again.
15:57Hey,
15:58hey,
16:11hey,
16:11why the fuck would he just do that?
16:14Anyone in class would like to fucking share?
16:17I'm right here.
16:18This is a goddamn nightmare.
16:19He's trying to kill me.
16:21He's trying to kill my fucking man!
16:26Phoenix,
16:26what the hell was that?
16:28I said I wasn't going to sing this song
16:29I stole from you anymore.
16:31Isn't that the confession you want?
16:33That wasn't confessing.
16:34That was running away.
16:37Look,
16:37I know
16:38that I was mad
16:40that you stole my song,
16:41but
16:41I realized
16:43that it gave you a land.
16:45It gave you a family
16:46that you've never had,
16:47and
16:47I take comfort in that.
16:50I told you that.
16:52You said you wanted to ruin me.
16:54Even after everything we've been through,
16:56you're still kind.
16:58Fuck you,
16:59Phoenix Walker.
17:03I can't sing that song, though.
17:06Every time I hear it,
17:07I think about you.
17:11Is your song not mine?
17:18We'll get through this.
17:20I promise.
17:22Our band's biggest hit
17:24was stolen from Lennon?
17:27We're going to do something
17:29before this ruins the band.
17:30Chandler,
17:40what is this?
17:42I packed for you.
17:43Because I'm ending your contract early,
17:45you no longer work for the band
17:47or for Phoenix.
17:49What?
17:49Why?
17:50Don't worry.

17:52the full amount.
17:53And also,

18:13is it's now

18:39Thank fucking Christ.
18:40You're paying me off
18:42to take my song from me?
18:44Whoa, whoa, whoa.

28:05Good morning, sunshine.
28:07You sleep well?
28:10Vance?
28:11Confusing your own son isn't enough?
28:13Now you want to add kidnapping and assaulting to the list?
28:16Oh, God!
28:16Oh, God!
28:18I think I got the winner.
28:19I'm trying to go fucking nuts!
28:22What do you want?

28:27Sends you a message.
28:29Fucking NDA.
28:30Sign it.
28:31Stay out of my son's life forever.
28:32I already told Chandler that I'm not for sale and I'm not leaving Phoenix!
28:47You say that now.
28:49But I got ways to make you crack.
28:52You know, I had plenty of years of experience on my son.
28:55He's probably told you that.
28:56I already told Chandler that I'm not for sale and I'm not leaving Phoenix!
29:11You deal.
29:13You bitch.
29:14Look what you did.
29:17Oh, Glenn?

29:33Looks like my piece of shit son does care for you.
29:36I repeat.
29:37I'll make you disappear.

29:41how I'm gonna do that.
29:45You're dead walking, motherfucker!
29:49Oh!
29:51Sorry, disgusting fucking piece of shit, motherfucker!
29:54No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Phoenix.
29:56Better than that, I'm gonna become just like him.
29:58No, Phoenix, you saved me.
30:00You're not him.
30:01You can never be him.
30:06You're lucky I'm not you.
30:12That's my boy.
30:13I knew you couldn't hurt your daddy.
30:16He won't.
30:17We can't make any promises.
30:19Come on, Vance.
30:20Let's shut down this station.
30:21Fuck the duck.
30:22Come on, come on, come on, you guys.
30:24Come on, yeah.
30:25Jeez.
30:25Phoenix, come on.
30:27I thought, man, I'm...
30:28Oh, man, don't let them do this.
30:29Right in fucking jail, Dad.
30:32Shh.
30:33Okay, I'm going.
30:34I'm so sorry.
30:40I thought it was too late if I was going to lose you.
30:43It's never too late.
30:44You're here now, and that's all that matters.
30:46Okay, we gotta go.
30:48I set up a live stream of the band.
30:50I'm going to tell everyone's top objects is your song.
30:54And you're mine.
30:56Okay, but there's someone that we need to talk to first.
31:00Okay.
31:01Okay.
31:01Okay.
31:01Okay.
31:10Hey, guys.
31:12So, um, I called you guys here because I have to confess that I didn't write sharp objects.
31:21I know it's our biggest fucking song.
31:22It's our biggest fucking hit, but Lennon wrote it.
31:26And I stole it from her four years ago.
31:29So I set up a live stream, and we're going to confess to the fans that I stole it.
31:35And there's going to be fucking backlash.
31:36And it's not just going to be pointed at me.
31:37It's going to be pointed at all of us.
31:38And I'm sorry, I'm not trying to drag you guys down with me, but I have to be honest.
31:42And I'm going to take accountability for it.
31:46Don't you fucking say that.
31:50We're a band.
31:52Band is family, okay?
31:54Family, don't fucking quit on each other.
31:57Whatever it is, we're going to get through it.
32:00And we'll rise.
32:01Yeah, like a fucking phoenix.
32:06Thanks, guys.
32:08There's just one more person we've got to deal with.
32:22All right, you guys got me for exactly two minutes.
32:24What's...
32:26What?
32:28Surprised to see me alive and well?
32:36What's that supposed to mean?
32:37It's supposed to mean you paying Phoenix's dad to, what was that again?
32:41Make me disappear.
32:44Are you...
32:45Hi, this is crazy.
32:47Lennon, I hired you to make sure he stayed off the drugs.
32:51We're going to need to find a new sober companion.
32:53I guess your little friend opened up to the police and it looks like we're going to need
33:00a new band manager.
33:03Sneaky.
33:04Fucking bitch.
33:06Are you fucking blind?
33:09I'm the only motherfucking protecting this man.
33:11She's using you.
33:12You're just fucking protecting your own payroll.
33:14Chandler, you know there'd be no fucking band without letting her song.
33:17Please tell me you did not tell these losers about you stealing our song.
33:20I fucking did.
33:21Because I'm fucking done with the lies and we're done with you.
33:24Motherfucker.
33:26Police should be here in a second.
33:27We've got a lot of shooting here too.
33:29I'm listening.
33:29Oh, yeah, that really sucks.
33:35Enjoy prison.
33:36You won't be able to get a manicure there.
33:40You're on the damage!
33:42You can't fire me!
33:44I'll fire you, you devilish fucking infant!
33:52You sure about this?
33:54Sure.
33:59All right, guys, we should have a million viewers.
34:08Hey, everyone.
34:09Thanks for joining us.
34:11Sharp Objects has come a long ways.
34:14And it's only taken four years and a few songs and one truly incredible person.
34:20But today, it's time for me to be honest.
34:23Our mega hit, our anthem, Sharp Objects, was not written by me.
34:29I stole it from someone who believed in me.
34:32And someone who helped me believe in myself.
34:36She has to lose some shit right now, dude.
34:38I know.
34:38Look at the comments.
34:39They're mad.
34:42She is the only girl that I've ever loved.
34:45And I think it's about fucking time that I give her the stage that she deserves.
34:54You ready?
34:57We're ready.
34:57We're ready.
34:59I'm tough as a nail, sharp as a blade, but I'm still lying here in the nice that you made.
35:13Oh, check it out.
35:32Views are soaring past 1.5 million.
35:34And they love Lennon, bro.
35:37They went on board.
35:38This is awesome.
35:40I know your dad was listening.
35:42And he is so fucking proud of you and your song.
35:46It's not my song, Enix.
35:47It's a power song.
35:53Lennon, I fucked up.
35:55And I've never been sure of anything in my life, but one thing that I know is there's not a day that goes by where I don't think about you.
36:05Lenny Michael, will you marry me?
36:18Yes.
36:19Yes, I will, Phoenix Parker.
36:26Wait, you won't need your lucky ring anymore?
36:29I already told you, Len, I don't need it.
36:31I have you.
36:32I'm pursuing this.
36:34Len, for the rest of my life.
36:37The rest of our lives.
36:39Len, for the rest of our lives.
