00:03What we will find when we look at the Wonder Man today, what can he teach us about ourselves?
00:10You have two options. You go back to prison and finish your sentence.
00:14And then you have option two, which is you do a little work for the Department of Damage Control.
00:18Two? Option two, thanks.
00:19This is Simon Williams. Do you think you can get close to him?
00:24I would need some bait.
00:25I thought he didn't mind how alone he was, but he felt it. Even if he didn't say it, I'm
00:32glad he's got a friend.
00:35Are you okay?
00:36I can't share the real me. The real me will get kicked out of here. I'll never be able to
00:40act again.
00:40That's not true. The real you is the sum of everything you've experienced.
00:45You're going back to prison.
00:46You need more evidence and I know how to get it for you.
00:49You can't, I know.
00:51I can figure a way out of this.
00:52How?
00:53I don't know!
00:57I don't know!
00:58I don't know!
01:02I don't know!
01:03I don't know!
01:05I don't know!
01:07I don't know!
01:07I don't know!
01:08I don't know!
01:10I don't know!
01:11I don't know!
01:11I don't know!
01:12I don't know!
01:13I don't know!
01:14I don't know!
01:15I don't know!
01:19I don't know!
01:28I still think those lasers are cool.
01:30What do you think?
01:30It could be better.
01:31Ah, okay.
01:32What do you want to eat?
01:34Burgers.
01:34Burgers.
01:35Burgers it is, my friend.
01:36Burgers.
01:39That was so good.
01:40Right?
01:41It was fun to see it in the big screen again.
01:44Who's the guy that played Wonder Man?
01:46Brent Wheeler.
01:47Man, he was in a lot of stuff in the 80s.
01:49I always loved the sunglasses that he wears.
01:52When I was your age, I always wanted a pair.
01:54So bad.
01:55So cool.
01:56Mm-hmm.
01:57And his jetpack.
01:58You know, I can't wait to see you up there one day.
02:03What are you talking about?
02:04I won't share.
02:05Come on.
02:05You were good in 12 Night.
02:07That was just a school play.
02:08Simon, I don't mean you were good in the play the way parents think their kids are good at things.
02:16You are very talented.
02:19You have a gift.
02:20If you work hard, there's no limit what you can do.
02:35We've been on the run, driving in the sun, picking up a number one, California, here we come, right back
02:45where we started from.
02:52There was just an explosion on the Wonder Man set.
02:55Let's go.
02:55California.
02:55Here we come, right back where we started from.
02:59California.
03:07Here we come.
03:15On the stereo, listen as we go
03:18Nothing's gonna stop me now
03:20California, here we come
03:23Right back where we started from
03:26California
03:28California
03:35Here we come
03:46If you are just tuning in, new details are emerging
03:49About last night's explosion in Hollywood
03:51While authorities have yet to release information on the suspect
03:54A manhunt appears to be underway in Hollywood
03:58This is all in connection with the explosion last night
04:02On the set of Von Kovac's newest film, Wonder Man
04:06Local authorities have shut down several streets
04:10Are advising residents to avoid the area if possible
04:14If any of our viewers have information pertaining to the incident
04:18Please contact your local law enforcement hotline
04:28Uh, I'm good, mommy
04:30Uh-uh, what's wrong?
04:33Oh, nothing, I was just, I was just calling to say hello
04:43Yeah
04:44But I got a, I got a little bit of time this morning
04:47How is the shoot going?
04:50It's good, it's good, everything, everything is good
04:53How you doing?
04:54Oh, I'm fine
04:56You know me
04:57Yeah
05:00They asked her finally trim that tree branch?
05:03Ah, no
05:04But I paid to have it done
05:05So she couldn't complain
05:07But she will anyway
05:11So you shouldn't be paying for that, mommy
05:13Oh, it's fine
05:14It's fine
05:18I love you, mommy
05:23He is still in his apartment
05:24Okay, make sure everyone's cleared out of that building
05:26I don't want any surprises now
05:28Copy
05:28Let's go, let's go
05:30As we've been reporting, this explosion happened on the set of the feature film Wonder Man
05:34Which is set to be a remake of the classic 1980s action movie
05:39Directed by Oscar-winning director Ron Kovac
05:42Fans of the original were excited to see how this classic story would be updated for a modern audience
05:49We had
05:56Yeah
05:56I figured it out
06:00Figure what out?
06:01Everything
06:02I'm really happy for you, man
06:04That's, that's, that's great
06:06Look
06:07I'll never forgive myself for what I didn't see
06:11But I'm making it right
06:12Trevor, it's too late
06:14They're coming
06:15It was stupid of me to think that this could end any other way
06:18This will all make sense shortly
06:19I don't have much time
06:20I just wanted to say
06:21That I've had a lot of opportunities in my life
06:24I've managed to bungle each and every one of them
06:26I'm not gonna let you
06:28Lose the only one you'll get
06:30You've been a true friend
06:33Wait, what did you do?
06:34What I should have done a long time ago
06:35Take responsibility for my own mistakes
06:37No, it's, it's, it wasn't your mistake
06:40It was mine
06:41Promise me you'll live your life to the fullest
06:44Savor every moment, Simon
06:45This movie is your shot
06:46Bloody well, enjoy it
06:49Goodbye, Simon
07:04Details are available to us about this incident
07:07But we can report that a new video has been sent to news organizations around the country
07:12Including our own station here in Los Angeles
07:15I'd like to warn viewers that they may find it upsetting
07:22America
07:25Did you miss me?
07:28I have another lesson for you
07:30On April 10th, 1953
07:33Alan Dulles
07:34The newly appointed director of the CIA
07:37Claimed the Soviets had engaged in a new type of combat with America
07:41A battle over men's minds
07:45Dulles dubbed it brain warfare
07:47Control the mind
07:49Control the narrative
07:51And you control the public
07:53That's why the United States government has worked hand in glove
07:57With the entertainment industry
07:58To shape the way the public views the world
08:01Holy shit
08:03Well, last night
08:05In the heart of the indoctrination factory
08:09I struck back
08:11That explosion
08:12On the set of Hollywood's latest brainwashing superhero opiate
08:17Wonder Man
08:18I did that
08:23It's real
08:25Open up
08:26Now
08:30We have a warrant
08:31We know you're in there
08:34Freeze
08:35Hands in the air
08:36What took you imbeciles so long?
08:43Hey, quite the high profile arrest
08:46Not the one that we wanted
08:47But there's no denying after this
08:49Slattery will need a state-of-the-art high security prison
08:52Hey
08:53Body is a body
08:54You said it
08:56Deputy Secretary, how are you?
08:59Well, thank you, sir
09:02I had my suspicion the whole time
09:05Well, it's your leadership that set the tone for the whole department
09:09That's right, sir
09:10Excuse me, can I call you back?
09:15Go ahead
09:16Throw me in jail
09:18I'll only break out again
09:19I'll take it from here
09:20Come with me
09:25I'm gonna let you take the fall, Slattery
09:28But my eyes are on Simon
09:29I do not know what the hell you were talking about
09:32You dolt
09:33Drop the act
09:35Slattery was the act
09:36Get it through your thick skull
09:37I have always been the Mandarin
09:40And you never saw me coming
09:44We are now getting word from local authorities that there were explosives found in the home
09:59What are you doing?
10:01We saw the news
10:03I know
10:04It's a lot
10:05I don't know how tight you and Trap were
10:10Yeah
10:13So apparently Yvonne Kovac never misses a shoot day
10:18They're inviting you to set
10:33How about a smooth operator, some turkey bacon for our number one?
10:40Yeah, sure
11:09How are you feeling?
11:21It's been a difficult morning
11:28You can say that
11:31But it would be good to get your coverage
11:34Otherwise we lose the whole day
11:36Right
11:39Everything you are feeling
11:42That's what true art is made of
11:46Use it
11:47Let your misery drive the bus
11:54Remember
11:55The only friend you ever had in this world just betrayed you
12:01You're about to say goodbye for the last time
12:05And you had a dream last night
12:08That your mother was cooking a hedgehog for supper
12:15A hedgehog?
12:17Yes, I think so
12:18I'd like to see what that inspires
12:24Yes

17:37Good, because you earned it.
17:39You look so handsome.
17:43Any news from Trev?
17:45Simon, I'm sorry.
17:46It's a black box.
17:47Wherever they sent him, it's not the kind of place
17:49you can ever get out of.
17:52But on the bright side, he was right about waiting
17:55for the next script.
17:56You got your own pick of projects now,
17:58so what's it gonna be with a man?
18:02Wonder Man!
18:05Wonder Man!
18:06Wonder Man!
18:06Wonder Man!
18:07Wonder Man!
18:08Wonder Man!
18:09Wonder Man!
18:10Wonder Man!
18:11Wonder Man!
18:11Wonder Man!
18:12Wonder Man!
18:14Wonder Man!
18:17Wonder Man!
18:18Wonder Man!
18:18Wonder Man!
18:21Cowboys ain't easy to love,
18:23and they're harder to hold.
18:28They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
18:34Actors actually do research
18:35I do
18:37I'm a big believer in it
18:39So is the director that I'm working with
18:41Who is that?
18:43That I cannot say
18:46How would this work?
18:47I would just kind of hang out with you
18:50And you live your life exactly as you normally would
18:53I would just stand back and watch
18:56You sure you got the right guy?
18:58Chuck Eastman
18:59And you just what?
19:01You want to watch me doing karaoke on Thursday nights here at Murphy's?
19:05Buying my toilet paper at the Stater Bros?
19:07Yes I do, that's the idea
19:10Everything you normally do
19:11It may seem mundane to you
19:12But it's not to me
19:13It'll really help me to fill in all the little details
19:16Make my performance feel real
19:18Alright
19:19Alright
19:20If I bore you to death
19:21You can't say I didn't bore you
19:22Fair enough
19:28And if you don't mind
19:29I'm trying to keep a low profile
19:32Alright, come to the right place for that
19:34Yeah, the studios
19:35They get a little protective about the projects
19:39They don't want any news getting out
19:41So
19:42If you don't mind
19:43I'd like to keep a lid on the fact that
19:47That we're doing this
19:49Of course
19:55But I don't understand
19:56He said just treat him like a normal person
19:59But he's not normal
20:01He's Wonder Man
20:02How do I not freak out that Wonder Man's better than him?
20:05You'll get used to it
20:06I promise
20:07I promise
20:17Mmm
20:20This is delicious
20:21Thank you
20:22It's what I would normally make
20:26What?
20:27Come on
20:28We haven't had pot roasts since Grandma was in town
20:31Well, we've got company
20:33Do you know Dua Lipa?
20:34Let me see
20:35No, it's okay
20:38No, I don't
20:38I don't know Dua Lipa
20:39But I like her music
20:41And look
20:42I think
20:42I think it's okay
20:43To admit
20:44This isn't normal
20:45I haven't really done anything like this before
20:48To be honest
20:48Even I think it's a little weird
20:49Thank God you said it
20:51Yeah
20:53Does it mean I can
20:53Tell everyone at school
20:55That I had dinner with Simon Williams?
20:56Uh, no
20:57You cannot
20:58Has the Paxil been helping?
21:01Yeah, a bit
21:03Are you finding time to exercise?
21:06Well
21:07You know, it's hard
21:09With work and the kids
21:10And
21:10Find time
21:12This is your health, Chuck
21:13Gotta take it seriously
21:16I really only started a few years ago
21:19Oh
21:21Job's been getting to me
21:23You know, you can't be exposed to those kind of people every day
21:27And not be affected
21:30When Lucy got sick
21:32Real sick
21:35Turns out it was Salmonella
21:36From playing with the neighbor's chickens
21:37But
21:38Didn't know that at the time
21:40My damn doctor
21:41Wouldn't prescribe an antibiotic
21:43Till we knew for sure what it was
21:44Was she in the hospital?
21:46Yeah, in and out
21:47Every dumb doctor assumed it was something else
21:51Gave her a CAT scan
21:53For nothing
21:54That wasn't cheap
21:55Yeah
21:56Still trying to pay off those damn medical bills
21:59Thank you
22:02It must have been hard
22:04It was
22:06It was, yeah
22:07She was skin and bones
22:08Couldn't keep nothing down
22:11I never seen anyone look like that
22:13And there wasn't anything I could do to help her
22:18Anyhow, that didn't help anything
22:20I already wasn't sleeping much
22:22These stress dreams are a killer
22:30Yeah, I'm sorry
22:32I'm sorry to slow you down
22:34It's all right
22:35Just glad we got you out and moving
22:37I bet you're used to
22:39Just running like 10 miles
22:41With some fancy Hollywood trainer, huh?
22:44Yeah, kind of
22:46Oh, God
22:48Never seen a guy
22:50As slow and as shitty as this guy, huh?
22:53Come on, Chuck
22:54Don't be so hard on yourself
22:57Now, wait
22:59How are you going to play me
23:01If you keep trying to get me into shape?
23:03Huh?
23:05If you're going to be Chuck Eastman
23:07You got to make sure he is a shitty runner
23:10If you get me into any kind of shape at all
23:13You've ruined the character
23:14My character
23:19Yeah, it might be worth the risk
23:25Look, uh
23:27You know how you've been wanting to
23:29Come with me to work
23:30See the kind of stress I'm dealing with there?
23:33First hand?
23:34Yeah
23:36Well, it took some doing
23:37But, uh
23:40I want you to be good
23:42In your movie
23:43Even though you haven't told me a goddamn thing about it
23:47You know I can't, Chuck
23:55Look, I had to, uh
23:57Fudge some paperwork
23:59And give you a false name
24:00So, uh
24:03You're a new trainee named Alfonso
24:05If anyone asks
24:07Alfonso?
24:07What?
24:08I'm not a writer
24:09I don't know
24:13Now you'll finally see what keeps me up at night
24:29New trainee
24:30Morning
24:31Morning
24:32First date
24:33Yep
24:34Chuck's been showing me the ropes
24:36Well, then you're screwed
24:38Oh, no
24:39Chuck's been great
24:41And I'm grateful for the steady gig
24:43It's rough out there
24:52Congressman Bray
24:53Has been pushing back on new vehicles funds
24:57I'm sorry, what'd you say?
25:01Congressman Bray
25:02Hey
25:08Why do you look so familiar?
25:12Oh, he got me
25:13Uh
25:14You must have seen me at Murphy's on Thursdays doing karaoke
25:22Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
25:27Oh, yeah
25:28I love that song
25:30Oh, it's the best
25:32All right
25:39Now, where are y'all hiding?
25:40The bathrooms around here
25:41Down this hallway
25:43On your second left
25:53So, I had a hunch
25:54And I had the lab
25:56Run another test
25:57At the soundstage
25:58But this time
25:59On an ionic level
26:04I don't understand
26:05It's a mistake, right?
26:07No
26:07I called the bank
26:08It's a real deposit
26:09It's just anonymous
26:10How much?
26:11It's a lot, Chuck
26:12Enough to finally quit that damn job
26:16And what we discovered
26:18Is that the ions were disrupted
26:20In every single thing that we tested
26:24If he's capable of harnessing ionic energy
26:28Then
26:29Simon Williams
26:30Is an extraordinary threat
26:32Or asset
26:43Who are you writing?
26:49Simon
26:50Alfonso, actually
26:53It's a long story
26:58How the movie come out
26:59It would have been better with you as Barnaby
27:03So
27:05Who replaced me?
27:06Oh, this
27:07It's not important
27:09Here's Brosnan
27:10Let's not get into it
27:10De Niro
27:11No
27:11Antonio Banderas
27:13We always get mistaken for each other
27:18There's been a breach
27:20We should probably get out of here
27:22This is a terrible idea
27:23That you're free and clear
27:24That was the whole point
27:27I'm not just gonna leave you
27:28In here to rot, Trez
27:29They'll catch you
27:30Let me worry about that
27:31That hallway is crawling with guards
27:33And motion sensors
27:34And biometric security
27:35So we agree
27:36But we're not going that way
27:37Which way are we going?
27:43What are you doing?
27:54Oh
28:12Everybody's talking at me
28:14I don't hear a word they're saying
28:18Only the echoes of my mind
28:26People stopping staring
28:29I can't see their faces
28:33Only the shadows of their eyes
28:41I'm going where the sun keeps shining
28:44Through the pouring rain
28:48Going where the weather suits my clothes
28:56Banking off of the northeast winds
28:59Sailing on summer breeze
29:04Skipping over the ocean
29:06Skipping over the ocean
29:06Like a storm
29:26I'm going where the sun keeps shining
29:29Through the pouring rain
29:32Through the pouring rain
29:33Through the pouring rain
29:34Going where the weather suits my clothes
29:38Going where the weather suits my clothes
29:41Backing over the northeast winds
29:44Sailing on summer breeze
29:47Skipping over the ocean
29:51Skipping over the ocean
29:51Like a storm
29:57Everybody's talking at me
30:14I'm going where the sunims
30:15I'm going where the weather suits my clothes
