00:25WONDERMATH
00:25If we don't reverse the tomography in the next 30 seconds,
00:27Barnaby won't stand a chance.
00:28I know, WONDERMATH. I'm trying.
00:45Change the plans! There's too many! Get out of there!
00:47Head to the sanctum now!
00:48But what about you?
00:49I can't leave Barnaby to die.
00:51But they'll kill you both!
00:52I don't care!
01:06The Umbera people believe if a soul fails to turn right after death,
01:10It winds up in a dark and treacherous place.
01:13Well, I've been to the void.
01:15I've lived in that screaming silence.
01:20I know what it's like.
01:22I lost whatever part was left in me that makes a person...
01:24There is!
01:25A person!
01:32Until Barnaby pulled me out.
01:34No one else separate gave a...
01:36Damn!
01:38It's too late for me.
01:40But you can still walk away.
01:42I'm begging.
01:44Please, just walk away!
01:45Not trespassing.
01:46I'm begging.
01:46I'm begging.
01:46I'm begging.
01:48I'm begging.
01:59Stop!
02:11I'm begging.
02:13I'm begging.
02:24You got this, man.
02:27You already got the job.
02:30You just got to go out there and crush it.
02:34Just crush it.
02:36One step closer to the top.
02:40Mr. Williams, they're inviting you to set.
02:46Copy.
02:47Yep, on our way.
02:48Yeah, David, go ahead.
02:55Stay just as far.
02:57Yeah, David, go ahead.
02:59Yeah.
03:01What?
03:04Okay, who last had eyes on it?
03:06Hey, Kieran.
03:07Hey, Ashley.
03:09Hey, isn't that for American Horror Story?
03:11Sorry, day players don't get golf carts.
03:14David, where are we with that blood?
03:17Yeah, I just got to set.
03:19Hey, what's the status on that mask?
03:22Oh, beautiful.
03:23Talk soon.
03:24How is it always Mendocino Farms?
03:27Someone in the right is room must own stock.
03:29Ugh, I hate choosing lunch when I barely had breakfast.
03:31I mean, how am I supposed to know my stomach's warm?
03:33Personally, I would go for the smoky chicken, a lote bowl.
03:36No creamer.
03:37Hi, I'm Lauren.
03:39You must be Professor Hoppin.
03:40Yeah, I love the Castle Rock.
03:41You're the wrecking.
03:42Your Sons of Anarchy episodes.
03:43They were the best in the series.
03:45Thanks.
03:45Ashley, I'm a big fan.
03:47Yeah, loved you in the Twilight series.
03:49Okay, so classes just ended, and Professor Hoppin's packing up his desk at the end of the night.
03:55And then your colleague Sarah enters from here.
03:58You do the first couplet.
04:00How was your trip?
04:01Yada, yada, yada.
04:02And then Ashley, you cross to about here.
04:04And Professor Hoppin says...
04:06You do realize, according to legend, that's where the Aztec god of death, Muglantucutli, was tricked into giving up the
04:14bones that became humanity.
04:16Yeah.
04:17Duh.
04:18Great.
04:19And then Sarah transforms into a monster.
04:22Um, and bites off Professor Hoppin's head.
04:27Yeah.
04:28Any questions?
04:29Yeah.
04:30Mm.
04:31Should I switch to that a little table?
04:32Right now it's sounding pretty good.
04:38Just one thing?
04:39Yeah, of course.
04:43How long have Sarah and I known each other?
04:46Hmm, that's a good question.
04:47What are you thinking?
04:49I was thinking we'd go pretty far back.
04:50Like, maybe we were best friends, but we had a little falling out when she got tenure before me.
04:56Sure.
04:57Why not?
04:57Right, might add a little layer to the scene.
05:00Totally.
05:01Let's try it.
05:02Yeah.
05:02Great.
05:03Yeah.
05:03Yeah.
05:05So, so maybe I shouldn't say Sarah, right?
05:09What's that?
05:10Well, the script says Sarah, but if I've been secretly jealous of her career, I don't think
05:15I would be so friendly.
05:17You know, maybe I should call her Dr. Johnson instead, you know?
05:21Yeah, let's, let's try both ways.
05:23Okay, great.
05:24Cool.
05:25Let's shoot one.
05:26Oh, and I wouldn't let her get that far.
05:29Who?
05:30Dr. Johnson.
05:31Considering our history.
05:32I don't think I'd let her cross all the way to my desk.
05:36I think Professor Harpin will stop her right about here.
05:39Yeah.
05:40Hmm.
05:41No, no, no.
05:42That is interesting.
06:00Uh...
06:06Let's move the moon.
06:08Yeah.
06:08Yeah.
06:09Move the moon beam!
06:10More, more.
06:11Right there.
06:13Last looks!
06:17Should I be packing up a copy of Aztec Thought and Culture by Miguel León Padilla?
06:23Is there a problem, Simon?
06:24No, no problem.
06:26I was just, just wondering if I should be packing up a copy of Aztec Thought and Culture by Miguel
06:31León Padilla.
06:33And what is that?
06:34I'm assuming that's what I'm teaching.
06:36Unless you're thinking Aztec Civilization by Henry Freeman, but that kind of changes things.
06:41Does it?
06:42Aztec Civilization is a quick read.
06:45It barely touches on Mucantocotli.
06:46It might fit into an ancient civilization syllabus, but...
06:51Professor Harpin is focused solely on Aztec Studies.
06:54Right?
06:56Hmm.
06:59Um...
07:00Now, there's no reference to a book.
07:02Oh, but it says...
07:04It says packing up his desk...
07:06Right.
07:07...for the night.
07:08Mm-hmm.
07:08Mm-hmm.
07:09I think it's implied.
07:11Should we check with a writer?
07:13Just to be safe.
07:22Who is this bozo?
07:24He had a great audition.
07:26Yeah, but at this rate, we're never gonna make our day.
07:28Mm-hmm.
07:29Can you get Ryan on the phone?
07:30Yes, ma'am.
07:31And the interesting thing is, it's all here in your words, if you really look at it.
07:36You think so?
07:36I do.
07:37Hmm.
07:38Professor Harper's history with Professor Johnson is what makes his death at her hands all the more tragic.
07:44Honestly, I never thought of it that way.
07:46But it's here.
07:46Yeah.
07:46In subtext.
07:47Yeah, I see that.
07:48You found something really interesting.
07:49Simon.
07:50Hi, Linda Cox.
07:51Hey.
07:52Hi, really nice to meet you.
07:53I'm a big fan.
07:54Oh, thank you.
07:55Love all the thoughts that you're bringing to this role.
07:57Thank you, thank you.
07:58Yeah, thank you.
07:59The showrunner just called, and he is rethinking this episode, and he's worried about Professor
08:05Harpin's scenes being a remnant of an earlier version of Ashley's arc.
08:09A remnant?
08:09So he's cutting your character from the show.
08:15Thank you so much for all your hard work today.
08:21That's a series rough on Simon Williams.
08:31They're going to put me in the movies.
08:36They're going to make a big star out of me.
08:41We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely, and all I've got to do is act naturally.
08:51Well, I'll bet you I'm going to be a big star.
08:57Might win a monster, but you can't never kill.
09:02And who's going to make me a big star?
09:06Cause I can play the part so well.
09:12Well, I hope you come to see me in the movie.
09:18Then I know that you are playing to see me.
09:23They can't fool the devil, it's a big time.
09:28And all I've got to do is act naturally.
09:38We'll make a scene about a man that's sad and lonely, and bake him down upon his bending knee.
09:48I'll play the part, but I won't need rehearsing.
09:54All I'll have to do is act naturally.
10:08What the hell?
10:10What the hell?
10:17You moving up?
10:21I thought you wrapped in five.
10:26So you're sneaking out?
10:32I'm just trying to prevent this from becoming a thing.
10:36Weren't you showing me pictures of rescue dogs last week and complaining I wasn't committing?
10:40Yeah, I'm sorry.
10:43I'm just not happy, Simon.
10:45I know.
10:46I just think you need to book something.
10:49Things will turn around.
10:50Come on, Vivian, we're good together.
10:54You never let me in, Simon.
10:57Not really.
10:58It's a little late to start caring about this relationship.
11:02It's a little late to start caring about this relationship.
11:07It's a little late to start caring about this relationship.
11:43Well, that's because Jerry wasn't there, and I was.
11:47I remember.
11:48Yeah.
11:49It was a python.
11:51A giant bloody python.
11:53I don't know if it was Burmese or not, love.
11:55I can't speak to that.
11:57It was in the pool.
11:59That's what bloody matters.
12:00Because maybe it had been somebody who wasn't looking for cuddles.
12:05Oh, sorry, love.
12:06I can't today.
12:08Auditions this afternoon.
12:10Dumb writers big.
12:11Biggest bloody movie of the year is all.
12:13Hey, man, do you mind?
12:15Give my love to Uma.
12:17Smooches.
12:19I'd never talk to you in the actual film.
12:21Don't fret.
12:25Hey, I'm sorry.
12:26Aren't you...
12:27Oh, yes.
12:30I played the Mandarin, but that was a whole bloody ten years ago, and I was just a puppet.
12:34And whatever theories you've seen on Reddit are totally false.
12:37I had nothing to do with Pizzagate.
12:39I'm not a member of the Illuminati, and I did not have my hands replaced with baby hands.
12:43First of all, I always dug your performance as the Mandarin.
12:47But I remember you from that omnibus episode you did in the 70s.
12:52You played Edgar Allan Poe, The Need for Nightmare.
12:55Well, well, well.
12:57Not too many people remember that old gem, including me.
13:00How was I?
13:02Stole the episode.
13:04And now you know, I'm also an actor.
13:06You don't say.
13:07Yeah.
13:08Do you mind?
13:10The movie's about to start.
13:14I'll take the ten.
13:16But when I take you over to see Mr. O'Daniel, I'm gonna have to have another ten, just a couple
13:20expenses, all right?
13:22All right.
13:23Come on.
13:23I'll buy you a school after you, huh?
13:34Yeah, that's what I'll do.
13:37Okay, Rico?
13:40Rico?
14:11It's heartbreaking.
14:14Never tired of re-watching that one.
14:17It's authentic.
14:19Moving.
14:22Really captures being an outsider on the fringe.
14:27And it's a little trippy, which is always nice.
14:31You know, Schlesinger didn't even think Hoffman was right for Ratso, even though he'd just come off the graduate.
14:39Apparently, Hoffman convinced him by showing up dressed in rags to their first meeting on the street corner.
14:44He was begging for change, and Schlesinger didn't even recognize him.
14:47I was fortunate enough to attend Schlesinger's production of Timon of Athens with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
14:54Sublime.
14:55Pity I was blind drunk.
14:58So, uh, what's this?
15:02Big audition you were talking about.
15:07Look, man, I'm not a weirdo, and I'm not desperate.
15:10I'm just curious.
15:12Would love to know what you're up to.
15:15Well, uh, between you and me, it's a huge opportunity.
15:21I'm auditioning for Wonder Man.
15:23Anyway, nice meeting you.
15:25Wait, uh, someone's actually remaking Wonder Man?
15:29Not someone.
15:31Bonkovec.
15:49Hey, I'm welcome.
16:07Janette!
16:10Did you hear about Wonder Man?
16:12You didn't tell me Von Kovac was directed?
16:14A superhero remake.
16:16Not exactly what we'd expect from an Oscar-winning director.
16:20Finding inspiration in another movie is not a crime.
16:26Look at what Kovac did with the flyer.
16:28Silly big picture.
16:30He made it personal, grounded it in modern science,
16:35and discovered new, unthinkable horrors.
16:41Why not Wonder Man?
16:44Human and spectacular.
16:47That's where this film needs to live.
16:50Superheroes are part of our lives now.
16:54So, what we will find when we look at Wonder Man today,
16:59what can he teach us about ourselves?
17:06Sounds good.
17:07I need to be in this movie.
17:10Sorry, you crazy.
17:12I was born to play this character.
17:14Are you serious?
17:16Boo, they are already talking to Leo.
17:18No, no.
17:19Deadline said they're looking for a new face.
17:21I have a new face.
17:23It's too late.
17:23Today was the last day of auditions.
17:25Well, couldn't you work a little bit of your magic?
17:28No one can say no to you.
17:30Not when you put on that charm.
17:32I know you're not doing this right now.
17:34Mister, I got fired from American Horror Story this morning.
17:36Yeah, they told me you couldn't even lay in blood, Simon.
17:39How hard is that?
17:40You just sit there.
17:41You just lay.
17:42Then you storm into this meeting with my colleagues,
17:45acting like you own the place,
17:47and now you're trying to work me?
17:48You know what?
17:48You got some nerve.
17:50I just need you to believe in me, Janelle.
17:53You know I believe in you.
17:55I think you're one of the most talented people that I know.
17:59But there's a lot of talented people out here
18:02who are not pains in the ass.
18:03Do you feel me?
18:07All right.
18:08We can talk about American Horror Story
18:10first thing tomorrow morning.
18:11Nandi will validate you.
18:18Hey, maybe have an early dinner, so I'll be gone, okay?
18:40Hey, girl, this is Imani from Hanover Agency.
18:43I got Janelle Jackson for Ruth.
18:46She's in session, but I can have her return.
18:48She's in on Wonder Man, huh?
18:50Yeah, till 6 tonight.
18:53Oh, no, that is not good.
18:55Nandi is going to be in so much trouble.
18:58Why?
18:58What's wrong?
18:59Well, Nandi is out sick.
19:00You know, she got that stomach bug that's going around.
19:03You better make sure you wash your hands, girl.
19:05You know I do.
19:06Anyway, I'm coming for her.
19:08And she just texted me
19:09because she forgot to get Simon Williams in
19:11on Wonder Man for Janelle.
19:14And now, see, the session's already started
19:15and today's the last day.
19:17So when Janelle finds out,
19:18she is going to go ballistic.
19:20Can you still make it in?
19:21I can put him on the list.
19:22Oh, my God.
19:24Girl, you are an angel.
19:25I'm going to call him right now, okay?
19:37Hey, Simon Williams.
19:39Sorry, I'm late.
19:40I'm assuming you're a Wonder Man and not a Barnaby?
19:43Correct.
19:44I just need you to sign this NDA.
19:48Also, I don't have a doorman waiver on file for you,
19:50so I'm going to need you to sign this.
19:53Assuming, of course, you don't have superpowers.
19:59Okay, you're all set?
20:06Well, if I keep...
20:07I don't know.
20:09I guess so.
20:12I don't know.
20:24I don't know.
21:08I'll ask Damien how things went.
21:10Oh, that's right.
21:11You can't, because he's dead.
21:14You guys are killing it in there, bro.
21:16Oh, and please tell Mr. Von Kovac that if he'd prefer a Cockney accent, I can throw one in
21:21and now it's for charge, all right?
21:25Where have you seen him before?
21:27Pretty sure he used to be a terrorist.
21:40Come with me.
21:50You're a bloody mess.
21:52You can't go in like this.
21:56You're trying to get in my hair.
21:58I'm trying to help you, love.
22:00You know, some of us actually believe in supporting each other.
22:04Take it from someone who's eaten shit on stage more times than he can count.
22:07Not literally, mind you.
22:08You can still turn this around.
22:09It's not too late.
22:10I know.
22:11There's a lot to memorize.
22:12No, but my memory isn't the problem.
22:14So what's wrong?
22:21I can't get old of the character.
22:24I've seen the original too many times.
22:26And I'm trying to come up with a backstory for his relationship with Barnaby, but it's
22:29not making sense.
22:31Well, trust the words.
22:32Just show up and say them.
22:33Be present.
22:35No, that's not my process.
22:37Well, your process can go blow a spider.
22:39Do you mind?
22:39Let me see this.
22:43Oh.
22:45Oh, this is your problem.
22:46You see, these nodes are garbage.
22:47Sorry.
22:48No, it's how I learned it.
22:49It's how I make choices.
22:51Well, your choices are getting in the way.
22:53No one gives a fart about the subtext of the tales of the Invera people.
22:58We've got to get you out of your head.
23:01Then how do we do that?
23:02When you're in there, blow every last bit of air out of your lungs hard and fast.
23:07With no air in your lungs, your body will go into shock.
23:09Shut down your frontal lobes, so no more logic getting in the way.
23:12Then your amygdala kicks in and you'll be left with instinct.
23:15Simon William?
23:16Here.
23:19Don't think.
23:42You can slate whenever you're ready.
23:44Simon Williams.
23:46Reading for Wonder Man.
23:53Everything okay?
24:13The Invera people believe if a soul fails to turn right after death, it ends up in a dark
24:19and treacherous place.
24:25Well,
24:29I've been to the void.
24:35I lived in that scream in silence.
24:40I know what it's like.
24:46I lost whatever part was left in me that makes
24:50a person, a person, a person, until Barnaby pulled me out.
25:00No one else ever gave a damn.
25:03No one.
25:06It's too late for me.
25:09But you can still walk away.
25:14I'm asking you, nicely, just walk away.
25:20It's a wonderful thing.
25:22Not thinking too much.
25:24Served me well most of my life.
25:26I'm not sure I'd do it again.
25:28Why not?
25:29John Gielgud used to have me whipping with a belt across his bare ass
25:33every night before curtain up, and that was before we were friends.
25:37Then things got weird.
25:39Hayashi Neats and a Virgin Mary with extra horseradish.
25:43Thirteen years sober.
25:44Congrats.
25:45But an actor needs to think to do the work.
25:51You have to fill in the backstory, in the character's psychology.
25:55If you don't understand it, how can you perform it?
26:00When we are born, we cry that we are come to this.
26:03Great stage of fools.
26:05Can you live?
26:07All spotted.
26:10I had a run of it in Croydon back in the 80s.
26:13I really struggled with the role at first.
26:16Then I remembered that great speech from Hamlet.
26:20The purpose of playing is to hold us to the mirror up to nature.
26:29Never forget that.
26:31Nature, that's our job.
26:33To understand the world around us and ourselves within it.
26:40The real work isn't digging for subtext or passing a writer's intent.
26:47The real work is living.
26:55Let's probably get going.
26:57Of course.
26:58You're a young man with friends to see and important things to do.
27:02This one's on me.
27:04I think I'm going to do the wedge salad.
27:08Hey, let's keep in touch.
27:10Of course.
27:11Oh, Simon.
27:14I have a good feeling about today.
27:18Something faithful in the air.
27:44Is Trevor Slatter it?
27:47How are we drinks?
27:47Fifteen dollars for a Virgin Mary's bloody criminal.
27:50Trevor.
27:52Third contact was established.
27:53We don't call it third contact.
