00:21Every year, over a hundred thousand people make their way to Los Angeles County.
00:25Many pursue dreams of fame or the life of Hollywood they've seen on TV
00:29or in movies.
00:30Mr. and Mrs. Monroe's daughter, Sheila Monroe, traveled from Fresno to Los Angeles a year ago.
00:35How many months has it been since she went missing?
00:39It's been about three months.
00:44We're still hopeful that we'll hear from her.
00:47Have you been able to get any information from the police?
00:53They found a car just the way it was and they seem to have no answers.
01:04That's why we had to hire a private investigator and no one seems to know anything.
01:09She's just like another person to them.
01:12I believe she's alive.
01:17Right?
01:21Okay.
01:33Did it ever occur to you that she might not be alive anymore?
01:40Sheila, if you're watching this, we love you.
01:47And we want to hear from you so just call us, okay?
01:56Um, I don't know, I guess the same dreams that everybody else has.
02:00I want to do a lot of things with my life.
02:02Um, I know someday I want to be able to win a marathon.
02:08Just running through that kind of pain, it's telling, you know?
02:12Being able to run when I don't think I can run anymore.
02:16That's, that's really how I want to prove myself.
02:33Stephen.
02:35Now I've replaced the writer.
02:37Tell the director.
02:38If he doesn't fall into line, he's next.
02:44You're the director.
02:44I love you.
02:45No, we just do a lot of chwping.
02:48Really, aren't you?
02:49What we, we don't do a whip.
02:49is to your reporter.
02:55Prinzessand.
02:56That's go.
02:59Sing!
03:01From here.
03:01So Schuld, not man.
03:01I love you so much.
03:09Is that from my完成!
03:19Let's go.
03:49I want to prove myself.
03:59I would imagine you feel the burn now.
04:02The oxygen fading out of your lungs as the poison pulses through your veins.
04:07Your foot's a good girl.
04:13She will show you her ass, but she really wants it direct.
04:21It's where I must be when I saw you first.
04:27Life that feels so strong to me.
04:35I love L.A.
04:40I try to waste my time at Hollywood and mine.
04:44This is L.A.
04:47And it's so tragically hip to prove that sun's dead strip.
04:51Come to L.A.
04:54Come see the stars all shine against this girl a built guy.
04:58I love L.A.
05:02Come for a child's heart gets a wash and a shower.
05:05...complete ...absolute ...complete ...horrible ...
05:24Well I see you tight all over town
05:30Don't need to put you down
05:35But I can't believe
05:39Come on, where am I going?
05:43Crescent Heights
05:45Are you sure you're reading that map right?
05:46No, I'm not, alright dickhead?
05:48Just pull over and ask the girl in the corner right there.
05:49Where?
05:50Right there.
05:55Excuse me darling, you happen to know where La Cienega Boulevard is?
05:58What do I look like a Thomas guy to you?
06:00Honey, if you just go down there a little ways you'll find it eventually.
06:02Alright?

06:59So Mom says hi.
07:01And Dad wanted me to ask when you'd be back.
07:04Oh.
07:05I'll tell Mom hi and tell Dad never.
07:08Hey, one question.
07:09Shoot!
07:10Where's all the grass in this town?
07:13Oh, Batboy's pouring weed?
07:15I want some.
07:18Who is that?
07:19Roommate.
07:20Yeah?
07:22What?
07:23Simmerdown.
07:24Oh, fully.
07:25Completely.
07:26So...
07:27Is she?
07:29So, why don't you give us the tour?
07:32Um, but Chantel's in the bathroom.
07:35Hi, boy!
07:36Chantel's hot!
07:37And her bedroom is through that door.
07:39And this is my room.
07:43That's it?
07:44That's it?
07:46You said you were paying like 900 bucks for this place.
07:49Not that bad.
07:50Each.
07:51You guys want beers?
07:52Two.
07:53I'm parched.
07:54Yes, please.
07:55You want limes?
07:56For what?
07:58So, how are things?
08:00I'm making do.
08:02Yeah?
08:03Sold your first script yet?
08:04No.
08:05But I've met people.
08:07Well, that's what you said when you tried acting.
08:10Well, it's different.
08:12Yeah.
08:13What kind of people have you met?
08:15Oh, Chantel, this is my brother, James.
08:18Hi, James.
08:19Hi.
08:21Nice to meet you.
08:23Thanks.
08:24You can get me one with a hole in it.
08:26And this is my cousin.
08:27Follow him.
08:28Vaughn Mason.
08:30I'll be in town for a week if you want to do anything.
08:33I think you're just a little too kid rock for me.
08:42You an actress?
08:43Yeah.
08:44Well, you might have seen me on a lima date, and I had a cameo in the OC.
08:49Hey.
08:49I don't get cable, but...
08:51Let's go into the living room.
08:53Hmm?
08:56Yeah.
08:57I know you're from the country girl, but what's up with Bob and Luke?
09:01Hey, nice.
09:02Who's my brother?
09:03Ibs on the roommate.
09:06Bo is cute.
09:08Can we go back to calling them by their real names, please?
09:10Oh, well, if it means that much to you, Daisy, I'm sure we're king.
09:13Well, thank you, Enos.
09:16Dude, I swear to God, one week I'll bang her.
09:21You're on.
09:22No, no, no.
09:23She's on.
09:24My dick!
09:26Oh!
09:31They're coming out with us tonight.
09:33What?
09:33No!
09:34I can't get anywhere good with them.
09:36Well, I have to ask James for money towards our rent.
09:39Remember?
09:40Oh.
09:42Okay.
09:49So, uh...
09:51You boys ready to party?
09:53You better believe it.
09:55Yeah.
09:56Hope you brought a change of clothes.
09:58Is there a rollercoaster at the end of this line?
10:01Dude, that is totally uncool and stuff.
10:06I fit in yet?
10:08Not really.
10:09So, do you think you can use your charms on the bouncer, or...?
10:12Oh, my God.
10:14Don't look.
10:14Don't look where?
10:16Candidson.
10:16You're standing at the top of the stairs.
10:18Oh, my God.
10:19Those candles dancing on their clothes.
10:29James.
10:29Come on.
10:30Excuse me.
10:32Hi.
10:32Hi.
10:36Are you 40 yet?
10:38Oh, yeah, but not on purpose.
10:40I mean, it's not like...
10:41Yes, the four of us are here together.
10:44And the four of you can come in.
10:47I love relaxing here.
10:49Oh, thanks.
10:50See your role?
10:51I love that.
10:52Let's go.
10:54Come on, guys.
10:55Let's get a beer.
10:55Hey, weren't you in that movie, uh...
10:58What was it?
10:59You played that...
11:02Southern construction worker.
11:04Yeah.
11:04Oh, yeah.
11:05Huh.
11:07That was good.
11:08You dip?
11:09No.
11:11You sure?
11:13Yeah.
11:13Come on, man.
11:13Give it a shot.
11:14It's good stuff.
11:15Look, if he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to.
11:16Let it go.
11:17I'm just saying.
11:20You weren't convincing in the slightest in that movie.
11:24You should've got me right here.
11:26Your accent was all wrong.
11:29Too short.
11:31You leave him alone.
11:34Where's this place anyway?
11:36Uh, you gotta...
11:37How about saying that, uh, you were awful?
11:39I'm just saying.
11:41No, you were mostly awful.
11:45Well, that a boy!
11:48Here you go.
11:53Uh...
11:54Don't...
11:55Most girls would sell their souls for a shot like this.
12:00Whatever.
12:02I'm not scared.
12:03Okay.
12:03I'm not.
12:04Okay.
12:04Let's go.
12:05Let's go.
12:10Are you coming?
12:14Someone's gotta protect her.
12:20So this is the Hollywood scene you like so much.
12:23Shut up.
12:24Hey.
12:25I need your keys.
12:26Alright.
12:27Have a good night.
12:30No joyrides, okay?
12:51I can't believe what I'm doing.
13:00Why a little pick something up there.
13:29Where are we?
13:31Oh, check it out!
13:34Hey, someone take a picture from our folks.
13:41Hey, thanks man!
13:46Thanks, you're just going to hold on to that, huh?
13:51We're going to have to warn you.
13:53I've had some problems in the past.
14:00Oh, it's my dad's.
14:01We'll give it back later.
14:03I never part with it.
14:06Let him have it.
14:08Alright.
14:09Okay, I'm just joking.
14:14You happy?
14:25You all didn't get that?
14:29Stupid Hollywood taps can't even answer their own phone.
14:41You all supposed to take us out?
14:46Let's go.
14:46Well, I'm not putting this back in the receipt.
15:03Hey, what's over here, man?
15:05We're going that way.
15:19Damn, is anything real in this town?
15:21Nope.
15:22It's all fake.
15:23That's Hollywood.
15:25I think he was referring to you.
15:47Well, Mason.
15:49Sarah Dell.
15:56Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, sir.
15:59Husband and wife?
16:02No.
16:02Brother and sister.
16:03Oh.
16:08Fascinating.
16:15Chantal Cholet.
16:16Frances Fenway.
16:17Oh.
16:20Admittedly, I'm not a fresh face like my younger cohorts, but I don't doubt that you've probably
16:26seen me before.
16:31Always nice to meet a fan.
16:32And so, ladies and gentlemen, now that we're all gathered here, perhaps you'll allow me
16:36the small indulgence of getting to know you all just a little.
16:45Let's start with you, Chantal Cholet.
16:51Tell me, Chantal Cholet, what do you want out of life?
16:58Oh, um, I want to be the next Marilyn.
17:04I want to be a talented and revered sex symbol.
17:09A noble venture.
17:12Mr. Mason.
17:15Oh, please call me a moment.
17:17Of course.
17:18Vaughan Mason.
17:22Uh, well, right now, I think I'd just like to land me.
17:26Maybe one or two of these beautiful ladies I've been seeing hereabouts.
17:30Uh, that's all I want out of life.
17:35And you, Sarah Dell.
17:40I like to establish myself as a writer slash director.
17:46I like the idea of being the person actually pulling the strings.
17:50Of course.
17:51Being the puppeteer is so much more interesting than being the puppet.
17:57And so to James Dell.
18:03I'm not sure I...
18:04To the camera, please.
18:06It's a simple, if not straightforward question.
18:10I'd just like to be happy.
18:13Just happy.
18:15That's it.
18:17Not fame.
18:18No fortune.
18:20Winning.
18:21Oh, I'll take it.
18:22You've had your turn.
18:24Surely, James, there must be something that you want.
18:27I want a lot of things.
18:30But that's just what they are.
18:32Wants.
18:37I hope you know that you've been of no help whatsoever.
18:42Well, I'll just have to ponder that.
18:47In the meantime, let us all drink to your goals for luck.
18:53Well, that's all you had to say.
18:56Would you like to make the toast, Mr. Fenway?
18:58Absolutely.
18:59Here's to making the most out of all your lives.
19:04To the first day of the rest of our lives.
19:10Amen.
19:11Y'all really aren't going to drink with us?
19:14Oh, they're allowed to drink in their off hours.
19:16However, they're working right now.
19:18Doing what exactly?
19:20I think I've told you already.
19:22Are you thick-headed?
19:27They're documenting lives.
19:30It's a little hobby of mine.
19:32One must stay amused.
19:34Especially when it seems like one might have done everything.
19:41Cheers.
19:43Cheers.
19:49You're not drinking, Mr. Fenway?
19:51Oh, me?
19:53No, I gave up drinking a long time ago.
19:55So, where keep the beer?
20:01Hey!
20:03You're not much of a talker, are you?
20:05Hey!
20:07It's a strong silent time.
20:09Are we boring you, Miss Del?
20:11I'm sorry I didn't realize how tired I was.
20:15Me too.
20:18And you think you can just walk away from this sort of business?
20:23Hey look, I'd never do anything to out you.
20:26I'd be outing myself.
20:28I mean, that'd be bad for all of us.
20:31What are you doing, Nate?
20:34Just secure my future.
20:36Okay, I've...
20:37I had bigger plans for you.
20:39I really didn't think it would come to this.
20:43I might even miss you.
20:45Shh.
20:49Let him go.
20:54Really?
20:55You promise?
20:57No.
20:58Yeah.
21:01Flash director.
21:02I like the idea of being the person actually pulling the strings.
21:08You probably feel more like the puppet now.
21:11I'm able to move.
21:14I'd just like to be happy.
21:16I'd just like to be happy.
21:22I just wanna be happy.
21:26Oh, God, James Del.
21:30What am I going to do with you?
21:34What's going on?
21:36I'm amusing myself with your sister.
21:39And friends.
21:41Big fun.
21:44It goes unnoticed when you skim from the darkness.
21:50I'll kill you.
21:52I assure you, irritating me right now is the last thing you wanna do, James.
21:59Especially since I come to you with the most benevolent of offers.
22:03Yeah?
22:05Well, why don't you let me out of here and we can talk about it?
22:07Don't you want to know what it is?
22:11What?
22:13Your life.
22:15I offer you your life.
22:19And then you can make your choice to be happy.
22:22Like you say you want.
22:25You can go out and find whatever happy is to you in this great big world, James Del.
22:31And happy your brain's out for all I care.
22:35I wanted to leave anyway.
22:37Where's Sarah?
22:39I'm afraid I'm not that benevolent, James.
22:42No, if you leave, you leave alone.
22:46No Sarah.
22:47No Vaughn, no Chantelle.
22:50No Dorothy and no Toto.
22:53Just James Del.
22:55Personally, I don't think you really want to be happy.
22:59But I'll let you decide.
23:01I'll wrap my hands around your throat.
23:05I'm afraid you won't have time for that, James.
23:08In nine minutes, you'll be able to walk out of that cell.
23:11In ten, however, the door to the outside world at the end of the corridor will forever close to you.
23:20And you will be resigned to the same fate as your fellow compatriots.
23:24Only worse.
23:26Because you've irritated me so with your happy prattle.
23:32Ta-ta for now.
23:37Allison động!
24:00Steve!
24:00Sarah, are you being a good girl, like I told you?
24:06I hope so.
24:08I really do hope so.
24:10We did nothing to you.
24:12You have no right to talk yet!
24:16And it's not about what you've done to me.
24:19It's about what I do to you.
24:23Oh, heavens.
24:25Time's up.
24:38Ah, interesting.
24:43That's the good thing about raw talent.
24:46Little surprises.
24:48Tell me, can you guess who dies next?
24:53Or would you rather it remain a surprise?
24:57Sarah, are you learning anything about being in control?
25:06I guess not.
25:08Pity.
25:09I thought you'd be a quicker study.
25:12Still, not to worry.
25:14There is joy in repetition.
25:23Watch me take care of the help.
25:32I just don't want to row me in my next one.

26:56You out there with somebody?
26:57Open the door!
27:01What happened to you, man?
27:03I got in a fight with Nate.
27:05Where is he?
27:06He's dead.
27:08Prig.
27:14We have to find Sarah.
27:16Alright, man.
27:28Give me the knife.
27:30I'll protect you.
27:33I'll take this.
27:50People are dead.
27:52Do you really want to eat?
27:53I get hungry when I'm nervous.
28:00Truck!
28:08Alright, we're gonna get Sarah and get out of here.
28:11What?
28:14What do you want to do? You want to stay right here?
28:18What does it matter? We're not getting out of here.
28:23Listen. Listen to me!
28:25Hey!
28:26We are gonna get out of here, alright?
28:28We are getting out of here.
28:31Jake, you gotta take it easy on that girl, alright?
28:34I didn't know you could be so mature.
28:37Oh!
28:38A little help here!
28:39Thank you!
28:40Thank you!
28:44Alright, love. Listen, listen, listen.
28:45What?
28:45What?
29:01Now that they're together again,
29:03we can play our little
29:05either-or game.
29:07Who gets it?
29:09Your brother and cousin?
29:11Like a skanky friend.
29:13Who get a skanky friend?
29:17What??
29:18You fucking shanky friend.
29:21No!
29:22No!
29:23Yes!
29:24No!
29:25No!
29:27No!
29:27We run, you fucker!
29:40He seemed nice, said he'd help me get my career started, he was nice at first, really.
29:52He got me auditions and paid for my headshots.
29:58He was more than my managers.
30:01A friend.
30:05He could have been my father.
30:10I should have screamed, but I couldn't.
30:14I was frozen.
30:19Like I was looking down and it was someone else.
30:26Oh my God.
30:29Did you know about that?
30:34No.
30:36We're gonna get her out of here.
30:39Here we are.
30:46I recognize this walkway, come on.
30:48Come on!
31:00Hey.
31:01Hey, this is where we came in, man.
31:03You sure?
31:03Yeah, remember the jail cell?
31:05Yeah.
31:07That's the way out.
31:08Right.
31:09Alright.
31:10So we find the girls, we come back here.
31:14Cool.
31:14Let's do it.
31:15Wait a minute.
31:16Wait, wait.
31:17What?
31:17Wait.
31:24Ow!
31:25Ow!
31:27Fuck!
31:28What happened?
31:31Now, follow the screams.
31:33James!
31:34Fuck!
31:35Sarah!
31:35You've removed one of the main characters from my story and I can't say I'm not a little upset
31:41about that.
31:42But you're trusting your instincts and they've been good to you so far.
31:46Well, maybe not to all of you.
31:51And there's poor little Chantel.
31:53What did you do with her, you sick...
31:58So much working against you.
32:00So many reasons to kill you now.
32:03But I'm gonna give you a choice.
32:05You can try to save your sister or you can save yourself.
32:16We'll save Sarah.
32:17Yeah.
32:18Yeah?
32:20We stick together.
32:24We take care of our own.
32:26Yeah.
32:27We do, man.
32:28Oh, wait a second.
32:29Check this out.
32:30Hold on.
32:30What are you doing?
32:31How are you doing?
32:32You get the knife.
32:34Get...
32:35This.
32:36Hey!
32:39What?
32:39You okay?
32:41Feeling sluggish, Vaughn Mason.
32:43Dizzy.
32:44Weak.
32:46Maybe you should take better care of yourself or...
32:49Maybe you shouldn't dose yourself with poison.
32:53Now listen.
32:54There is a chance you can get to the antidote in time.
32:57Sarah will be your guide.
32:59And it's her turn to be in control now.
33:02She can lead you to her and ensure her own safety.
33:05Or she can lead you to the antidote.
33:08Her choice.
33:09You'll have about five minutes.
33:11But...
33:12I could be wrong.
33:14Because...
33:14Hell knows.
33:15I'm not a doctor.
33:22You feel poisoned?
33:24I don't know.
33:25Worse than the time we got poisoned by a rattlesnake man.
33:28Ha.
33:29Come on.
33:29Help me in.
33:31Come on.
33:32Come on.
33:33Can you hear me?
33:37Yeah, we can.
33:40Go back outside and into the other building.
33:46Up the stairs.
33:50Okay, there are two unlocked rooms on this floor.
33:54The room I'm in.
33:55And the one that has the antidote.
33:56When you open the door, the other locks.
34:00How's your time again?
34:02Ow!
34:07Sarah!
34:09Yes?
34:10Which room are we closest to?
34:12The antidote room.
34:14I've thought about it and I want you two to go in that one.
34:17So go into the red hallway.
34:29Here?
34:31It's at the end.
34:33Where?
34:34To the left.
34:35At the end.
34:44Here?
34:45Yes.
34:47Hey.
34:48I think it's worth a try, man.
34:51You can do this?
34:52Yeah, let me go.
34:58Which one is yours?
35:04Sarah, where is it?
35:10Sarah, which one?
35:12Come back to the staircase.
35:14Come back to the staircase.
35:16All right, go get around with me.
35:18All right, you stay quiet.
35:23All right, I'm here.
35:25Do you see the green hallway?
35:27Yeah.
35:28Go all the way to the end.
35:30Get down the stairs.
35:32Oh?
35:39Sarah?
35:41Yes.
35:46Vaughn?
35:49Vaughn!
35:49What?
35:51Open your door on three.
35:54You want me to open on three or at three?
35:58What?
35:59You want me to open it one, two, three, open?
36:04Or one, two, open?
36:07That, the second one.
36:09One, two, three, open.
36:12Vaughn?
36:14Vaughn!
36:15Vaughn!
36:18All right, for real now.
36:19Remember, don't let the door close behind you.
36:23One, two...
36:25Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
36:26What?!
36:27All right, start over.
36:29All right, all right.
36:31One!
36:32James?
36:34Yes?
36:35I love you, man.
36:36I, I love you too, man. I love you.
36:40All right, come on, let's do this.
36:44One, two, three!
36:56Vaughn?
37:00Ah!
37:06No!
37:33I offer you a man of choice.
37:37Well, I will be an experiment.
37:46Do so, loveless. Scream, though die.
38:09Dead end.
38:11Dead end.
38:17I'm okay.
38:23Easy.
38:35Easy.
38:37Easy.
38:40You okay?
38:46Easy.
38:47Slowly.
38:58Easy.
39:01Easy.
39:04Easy.
39:06Easy.
39:06Easy.
39:07Easy.
39:07Easy.
39:08Easy.
39:23I do hope that Martin is right to you in the past.
39:35In some circles it is considered courteous to say goodbye to your host before.
39:40Mind you, you've all fallen consistently short in Aragal.
39:52Do you have any idea how hard it is to find such loyal employees?
40:03You did kill a couple of your friends though.
40:06You wanna call it even?
40:11Oh James, you're so clearly not going to be much of a match, are you?
40:15Maybe you just need a little encouragement.
40:18No!
40:19No!
40:19No!
40:20No!
40:21No!
40:22No!
40:22No!
40:23No!
40:25No!
40:26No!
40:27No!
40:27No!
40:29No!
40:31No!

43:21Hello?
43:21Excuse me, could you?
43:23Sure.
43:28Thanks.
43:32So how long you been in town?
43:35Not long.
43:36I'm surprised how quickly I got this audition.
43:39Yeah, me too.
43:40But then again, there is nudity,
43:42so that's probably a factor.
43:45I guess you're reading for Chantel too.
43:51Hey, you're not reading for Vaughn, are you?
43:55Great.
43:57I really like this Vaughn character.
44:00A lot of great lines, you know.
44:02Loads to work with.
44:04I'd rather be the hero.
44:08Babe,
44:09I'll take any role.
44:11Right now, man, I'd do anything
44:13to start a career.
44:29Let's be your best.
44:32Let's be your best.
44:32Yeah!
44:33Yeah!
44:34Yeah!
44:35Yeah!
44:36Yeah!
44:37Yeah!
44:39Yeah!
44:40What went on in town?
44:45I'm gonna get every medication.
44:48I'm going...
44:49See ya later.
44:56I'm gonna find...
45:00I'm going...
45:01I put it off.
45:02I'll try it off.
45:05I used to name it,
45:05I used it,
45:05but...
45:09I'm going to take a right background.
