00:14To be continued...
00:31It was. Right up until the part where I had to sing.
00:34You froze up, huh?
00:35All I could think about was you and Adam sitting there waiting for me to be brilliant.
00:40We didn't expect you to be brilliant.
00:42We did expect some kind of sound, though.
00:44I mean, all of a sudden I just got sweaty and my heart started pounding.
00:48I just couldn't breathe and you know what I thought I kept thinking in my head?
00:52I'm afraid to ask.
00:53I thought, you've never fainted before. Don't faint.
00:57Is this what fainting feels like?
00:58And that's what I read.
01:00A classic case of stage fright.
01:02Oh, is that your diagnosis, Dr. Amias?
01:04Yes. Yes, that is. That would be $100, please.
01:07It's just natural that you'd be anxious.
01:09I just... I opened my mouth.
01:11Nothing came out. Not even a squeak.
01:13I'm sure it happens to everyone.
01:15I'll bet it even happened to Eddie when he first started out.
01:17Okay, if Eddie ever felt like that, he never would have made singing his career choice.
01:21Might as well face it, Mel.
01:22I'm not meant to be on stage.
01:31I'm ignoring that.
01:33Good.
01:36I'm ignoring that.
01:38Oh, great.
01:41Go away.
01:42Oh.
01:45I wonder if something's wrong.
01:46Don't leave.
01:49Mmm, damn it.
01:51Eddie.
01:53There better be a global emergency.
01:56Wait, Eddie, stop. Don't answer that.
02:08I have to answer it. Otherwise, it'll never stop.
02:10Well, maybe it's not the doorman buzzing.
02:12Wait, you don't think Tyler would have the nerve to show up here, do you?
02:14I hope not.
02:15If he doesn't, I'll call the cops.
02:17He's been warned.
02:19Huh.
02:21Leo.
02:22What is it?
02:25Who?
02:29So you choked.
02:31It's not the end of the world.
02:33Sure feels like it.
02:34No one but me and Adam saw.
02:36And the guys in the band.
02:37But they're kind of weird anyway.
02:38They're not weird, but they probably think I am.
02:40I ran out of there like I was on fire.
02:42Maybe we could tell them you were on fire.
02:43No.
02:44That won't work.
02:45You're so obviously a stop, drop, and old kind of gal.
02:48It's getting my vocal cords locked up.
02:50I'm getting panicked just thinking about it.
02:51Hey, relax.
02:52There's got to be a solution.
02:53We just have to find it.
02:55Yeah, the solution is I should never, ever attempt to sing in public again.
02:59So that's it?
03:00You're giving up for good because you got a little nervous?
03:03How many more signs do I need, Mel?
03:04I'm not a singer.
03:06I'm judging by Eddie's contest.
03:07I'm not much of a songwriter either.
03:08Stop it, Lauren.
03:09And you're not giving up.
03:10Have you not been listening?
03:12Maybe playing with the band was just too much too soon.
03:15Maybe you should start with baby steps.
03:17Yeah.
03:18Like the shower.
03:19Okay.
03:19I like that spirit.
03:20Just as long as you don't give up.
03:23Hey.
03:24I thought our voice isn't here.
03:26Hey, Mom.
03:27How was your date?
03:28Amazing.
03:29Better than anything you could possibly hope for.
03:37Come in.
03:38Hey.
03:39I insisted that we bring him here.
03:40What happened?
03:41Just a misunderstanding.
03:43It was a fight, sir.
03:44You got into a fight?
03:45Yeah, it was not a big deal.
03:46It was at the bar and some obnoxious dude, you know, mouthing off just decided.
03:52I'm sorry.
03:52I thought you were alone.
03:53Don't worry about it.
03:55Are you all right?
03:56Yeah, I've been better.
03:57What was the fight about?
03:59Nothing.
03:59I mean, nothing to be worried about.
04:01So he's not getting arrested?
04:03Not unless the other guy presses charges.
04:05I'll press charges first.
04:06Thank you for bringing him here instead of the station.
04:09Not a problem, Mr. Grant.
04:10By the way, my girlfriend's a huge fan.
04:12She loves your work.
04:13Oh, thank you.
04:14Listen, why don't you give me a card and I'll make sure you guys have tickets to my next show.
04:17Great.
04:18Uh-huh.
04:23Pop.
04:24You okay?
04:25How do you feel?
04:26No, I'm just a black guy and a bloody lip.
04:29I'll live.
04:29Yeah.
04:30Hey, honey, will you get him a wet towel and some ice?
04:32Yeah, of course.
04:34Hey, no, listen, you guys don't need to babysit me.
04:36Will you call a cab for me?
04:37I'll go home.
04:38No, Dad, it's late anyway, and you look like you got hit pretty good.
04:41Why don't you just crash here?
04:57Hello?
04:58Tyler, are that you?
04:59Jackie?
05:00Yeah, it's me.
05:02Hey, I'm so glad I didn't get my message.
05:04Well, you got me worried sick here, Tyler.
05:08Is something wrong down there?
05:09Yeah, a matter of fact, there is.
05:11Oh, dear Lord, what has Cynthia done now?
05:14You know your daughter too well, Jackie.
05:17Is she in trouble?
05:18Yeah.
05:18Wherever she goes, trouble follows.
05:22Someone could have taped the fight on their phone.
05:25Yeah, it's possible.
05:26I honestly didn't see anybody else.
05:30Are there anything on the sites?
05:32Not yet.
05:33That's a good sign.
05:34I'm really sorry, Eddie.
05:36I mean, never in a million years did I...
05:37Pop!
05:38Forget it.
05:38I'm sure there's a lot worse online.
05:41Yeah.
05:42Like, uh, that picture that I was...
05:44It's so clear.
05:45I'm...
05:46It's early, but it's clear.
05:48Sometimes it's a good thing that nobody cares about you anymore.
05:52You are so wrong.
05:53Just the fact that you're Eddie's father, people care.
05:56And when you mess up, it reflects badly on him.
05:59Big time.
06:03Oh, dear Lord.
06:05This is exactly what I was afraid of.
06:07Jackie, relax.
06:08She's not in the kind of trouble you're thinking of.
06:10Oh, thank God.
06:13You know, I've been seeing her pictures in the magazines at the grocery store.
06:18She's real famous now, I guess, huh?
06:19She's not as famous as the guy she's mixed up with.
06:22Oh, yeah, that, uh, cute rock star guy, Eddie.
06:26Cute?
06:26Yeah, I don't know about that, but he's trouble, Jackie.
06:28And he's got her head filled with all sorts of crazy ideas.
06:31Well, now you're supposed to be watching out for her, you know.
06:34You promised me.
06:35I tried.
06:36I tried, but she won't listen to me.
06:39I thought she'd listen to you.
06:41She's not interested in what I gotta say.
06:43Cynthia hasn't spoken to me in years.
06:46She goes by Chloe now.
06:48I know that.
06:49I don't have to like it, though, do I?
06:51I gave birth to her.
06:53I raised her.
06:54She's still Cynthia to me.
06:56You never hear from her?
06:57Sometimes she sends, uh, some money.
07:00On Christmas, on my birthday.
07:03Just to check in an envelope.
07:05No note, no nothing.
07:07That's cold.
07:08I don't even know her anymore.
07:10You're still her mother, and you know her better than anybody else on this planet.
07:14Did she tell you that?
07:15She's not even aware of it herself.
07:18I keep seeing her make one bad choice after the other.
07:22She needs you.
07:24Well, I can't do anything from up here.
07:26No, you can't.
07:28Well, then how am I gonna help her, Tyler?
07:31You have to come to L.A.
07:35Okay.
07:40You should eat something.
07:42Hey, Chloe, do we have any of those noodles left?
07:43I think so.
07:45I can go heat some up.
07:50Sorry I, uh, interrupted your...
07:54Now, forget it.
07:57Can she?
08:00Chloe's cool.
08:01All right.
08:02I'm gonna get the rest of her lives anyway.
08:04Yeah.
08:05I couldn't help but notice that rock on her finger.
08:08Who else knows?
08:10Oh, just you so far.
08:11Yeah.
08:12So, come on.
08:13Tell me how this happened.
08:14You've always been the make love, not war kind of guy.
08:17Yeah, no.
08:19I don't want to talk about it.
08:20Come on.
08:21How'd this guy get under your skin?
08:23I have just a couple guys talking crap, and I don't want to talk about this tonight.
08:27Okay, okay.
08:30Thanks for letting me crash here.
08:32Yeah.
08:32Pop, come on.
08:33I know you're always welcome.
08:35And by the way, you don't need to get into a bar fight as an excuse.
08:41You went to MK Club tonight?
08:43Why, I think I'm too old.
08:45Oh, no.
08:46Of course not.
08:46It's just, it's so hard to get past that bouncer guy.
08:48Oh, well, not when you have connections.
08:51Don't keep it a secret.
08:52Who's your connection?
08:53A Dr. Don Masters.
08:56Adriana's dad.
08:57Awkward.
08:59He doesn't exactly strike me as the club-going type, though.
09:01Oh, no, he's not.
09:02He's not.
09:03But Max Duran is a patient.
09:05Does that mean you actually got to meet Max Duran?
09:08We sat at his table, and we had a drink with him.
09:11What?
09:12You didn't get all tongue-tied and say something goofy, did you?
09:15No.
09:15No, I actually went with a mission in mind, and I accomplished it.
09:18I got him to listen to Laura's song.
09:20Get out.
09:22Max Duran, Eddie Duran's father, listened to my song.
09:26Yes.
09:27What did he say?
09:28He thought it was really good.
09:30And I don't want to get your hopes up, but he said he would pass it along.
09:34Mom?
09:34Oh, my God.
09:35And the mom of the year award goes to Nora Tate for the ninth consecutive year in a row.
09:39Well, it's not a completely selfless act, you know.
09:41I mean, I have wanted to meet Max Duran.
09:43But this is so awesome.
09:45Lo, what is it now?
09:47It's just, Eddie already heard my song, and he didn't think it was good enough to be in
09:51top five, so what would change his mind now?
09:54Is this all stuff for the new album?
09:57Yes.
09:58No.
09:58Maybe.
09:59It's all just fragments at the moment.
10:01I have some really interesting ideas here.
10:03Maybe eventually.
10:05Nothing's really connected right now.
10:07I can't tell if I'm working on five songs or one.
10:09It's been really hard to get back into writing since I got back from tour.
10:11Just give it time.
10:13I know.
10:13I just have so much to do, it's hard to focus.
10:16Well, you know, you've been working like a dog.
10:18That's what you've been doing.
10:20When was the last time you had fun?
10:23What are you talking about?
10:23I have fun all the time.
10:25No, I'm not talking about, you know, an after party at the tour bus.
10:28I'm talking about hanging out with your friends, you know, your buddies from high school, your
10:31old crew.
10:32Yeah.
10:32Well, it's my life now.
10:34Yeah, well, it doesn't have to be like that.
10:36You know, just be a 21-year-old for a change.
10:39I appreciate the advice, Dad, but, you know, I'm with my best friend.
10:44I'm engaged to her.
10:46Right.
10:47Hey.
10:47Are you going somewhere?
10:49Ah, to my place.
10:50I forgot a few things, so.
10:51Okay.
10:52Are you living here now?
10:53No, it's just temporary until we're sure Tyler's not a threat.
10:56Your son is very protective.
10:58As he should.
10:59Now the things are more formal.
11:01Oh, so you know.
11:02I wasn't sure because you hadn't said anything, so.
11:06Yeah, pop.
11:07How about a congratulations for the happy new couple?
11:11I'm so sorry.
11:12I've been all caught up in this, and I, of course, congratulations to the happy couple.
11:20I'm going to go settle in.
11:39Hey.
11:40What are you doing up?
11:42Oh, hey.
11:43I hope I didn't wake you.
11:44Nah.
11:45I always wake up around this time.
11:47My mind starts racing about the list of calls I have to make tomorrow, and then I can't get back
11:50to sleep.
11:51I know.
11:51I'm the same way.
11:53Touch of evil?
11:55Perfect midnight viewing.
11:58This opening shot is so amazing.
12:01There's so much tension just right in the first scene.
12:04I love film noir.
12:06Did you know the studio only paid Orson Welles to act in it?
12:08He got nothing for writing or directing.
12:10Really?
12:11Talk about bad representation.
12:13Right?
12:13I never would have allowed that to happen.
12:19Something's coming around.
12:23Can you feel it?
12:26The weight of the world.
12:29And I hear a deafening sound.
12:33Can we make it?
12:37I'm not giving up now.
12:40Oh, do you see the shadows around you?
12:51Oh, can you feel it?
13:02Hold on.
13:05It's not over today.
13:26We night owls can't sleep, might as well eat, right?
13:29Sure.
13:30Anyway, given how much Eddie respects his dad, if Max says it belongs in the finals,
13:37it's going to be in the finals.
13:39You sure it's not cheating?
13:40It's not in the, you know, stealing the test off the school computer league, if that's what
13:45you're worried about.
13:46Yeah, but what if the rules say that you can't add anything?
13:48Honey, it is Eddie's contest.
13:50Stop what if-ing.
13:51Fine.
13:51No more what if-ing.
13:53Let's talk about you and Dr. Masters.
13:56He really came through for me tonight.
13:58He must like you.
14:00A lot.
14:01Like, K-I-S-S-I-N-G a lot.
14:05I think he was just making it up to you for what Adriana did.
14:08It's mind-boggling to me that someone who is so cool could have a daughter who's part
14:12demon.
14:13I really wish you guys could find some common ground.
14:17Does this mean it's getting serious between you guys?
14:19No, neither of us even close to that.
14:22Well, I'd much rather see you with Max Duran.
14:25Max Duran the rock star?
14:26Yeah.
14:27I think I'm a little old for a crush like that.
14:29Well, crazier things have happened.
14:30Not to me.
14:32But listen, I do hope the next time you come into the office that you'll thank Don.
14:37Yeah.
14:37I'll send him a bottle of my finest champagne.
14:40You've got a few years when you're actually old enough to buy one.
14:43It'd be a lovely gift, but for now I think just a good old-fashioned thank you would be
14:46good.
14:47He was just really happy he could do that for us.
14:48Well, I promise not to hold his daughter against him.
14:52Oh, man.
14:53I can tell he feels so overwhelmed with her.
14:56I mean, it is tough to be a single parent of any kid, but he's way busier than I am.
15:01When you put it like that, I actually kind of feel bad for the guy.
15:05So you're okay with this?
15:07Hmm, I guess.
15:08I mean, if you guys really start to become a regular thing, that might take some getting
15:12used to.
15:12Honey, if this bothers you at all...
15:14No.
15:14No, I would never make you stop seeing him.
15:17Almost never.
15:19What would I do without you?
15:21Hmm.
15:22You wouldn't have had an excuse to meet Max Duran, that's for sure.
15:36Jake?
15:40You're watching a movie?
15:41At this hour?
15:42You know me.
15:43Couldn't sleep.
15:44My fault.
15:45I made some noise.
15:46I woke him up and then it turns out that we both love Touch of Evil.
15:49Touch of Evil?
15:51Well, what's that?
15:51Some sort of zombie movie?
15:55Right.
15:57Well, I'm glad you two could find something amusing at three in the morning.
16:01I'm going to bed.
16:03Enjoy your slumber party.
16:06Somebody's in trouble.
16:07It's not me.
16:08See you in the morning.
16:11See you in the morning.
16:47Do we know a SoCalBlue89?
16:49A what?
16:50I just got a text from that email.
16:53Never heard of him.
16:54Her.
16:55It.
16:56What did the text say?
17:00It says, I think your song is so cool.
17:03Maybe it's Eddie?
17:05I seriously doubt that.
17:06Okay, so like a random fan then?
17:08Oh my god, you have a fan!
17:10Or a stalker.
17:12One I like your text on hardly qualifies as stalking.
17:16More likely and way cooler is that you have a secret admirer.
17:20And he likes your music.
17:35Hey, you think you make it home in time for dinner?
17:37Probably not, but why don't you come up to the office?
17:39We can grab some lunch, maybe eat on the roof.
17:41Gotta juggle a few things, but I think I can make it work.
17:46Hi, you're up and ready early.
17:48Well, I was hoping that I can tag along with Jake to the office if it's not too much trouble.
17:53No, it's awesome.
17:54I mean, I'm swamped today and I think Steve said something about a root canal.
17:57Oh, then whatever you need me to do.
17:59Well, Eddie sent me a bunch of emails regarding the song contest.
18:02Sounds like he wants to change one of the finalists, but just have to remind him gently that they've already
18:06been sent.
18:07All right, well, I can talk him down, or I can listen to more songs if you need me to,
18:10whatever you want.
18:12You know, if you have Kel doing all this work, maybe you should start paying her.
18:16Oh, no, that's okay.
18:17I'm just a trainee right now, but when I prove myself, and trust me, I will, you're going to want
18:22me full time, and that's when I drive a hard bargain.
18:25All right, well, here's the deal.
18:27You keep me and Eddie in this contest without either one of us throwing a punch, and I'll make you
18:33full time.
18:34Salary, benefits, parking spot.
18:37We'll talk.
18:37We're late already.
18:38Let's roll.
18:39Bye, hon.
18:40Hey, wait, wait.
18:41Give me some sugar.
18:43Mmm.
18:44Have a good day, baby.
18:50So, can we agree that Max liking your song proves finally that you know what you're doing?
18:56It does feel kind of awesome to get validation from a rock star.
18:59Seriously.
19:00And I bet he's got enough pull that he can get Eddie to put your song in the top five.
19:03Maybe if the top five hadn't already been announced, what is he going to do, say there was a typo?
19:08Eddie can do whatever he wants.
19:09It's his contest.
19:10Yeah, but he's a nice superstar who isn't going to want to upset his fans.
19:13And plus, I would feel so bad if one of the finalists lost their spot because of me.
19:18It's a rough business out there, Lauren.
19:20It's dog-eat-dog fellow songwriter.
19:22Remind me to never cross you when you become a big agent.
19:24Don't cross me before then, either.
19:27Adam!
19:28What?
19:29That's who sent you the mystery text last night.
19:31He has heard my songs.
19:33And posted them online.
19:35Yeah, but secret admirer is not really his type.
19:38Maybe it's just somebody else from school who heard my song online or something.
19:42Or maybe they don't even go to our school.
19:44Maybe they're not a student.
19:45I mean, these things get around low.
19:46Okay.
19:47That feels like we're getting back into stalker territory.
19:49Stop it.
19:50You're on your way to becoming famous.
19:52Having a secret admirer is just par for the course.
19:54And it's really cool.
19:56Now we just have to figure out who SoCalBlue89 is.
20:02Come work for me in the afternoons.
20:06Well, gee, Dad, I would.
20:08But I gotta spend my afternoons doing community service now.
20:11For free.
20:13Whose fault is that?
20:15I gotta go.
20:20Phil.
20:21Yeah.
20:26Have a good day, son.
20:30Thanks.
20:40You think your mom gave Max her number?
20:43My mom's not exactly the, here's my digits, kind of gal.
20:46Too bad.
20:47Then you'd really have an end with any.
20:49Just glad Max was willing to listen to my song.
20:52Could Max be SoCalBlue89?
20:55I mean, no, he heard your song last night.
20:57You get a message shortly after that?
20:59You really think Max Duran is a secret texter?
21:02Maybe?
21:03Hey, I'm glad I found you guys.
21:05I have news about last night.
21:06You do?
21:07It's not good news.
21:08Oh, no.
21:10What now?
21:13How's the head?
21:15How's the head?
21:16A little more bass, a little less treble.
21:19Good.
21:21All right.
21:22So now that you've had a night to think about it, you want to tell me what really happened last
21:25night?
21:25I already told you.
21:26I got into a fight about something stupid.
21:28No.
21:29You're too smart to fight about something stupid.
21:31I don't buy it.
21:32You're not going to let this go higher?
21:33No.
21:34Okay.
21:36I was at the bar.
21:37I was having a drink last night when these guys started talking garbage about the club.
21:43And I got upset.
21:44I told them to shut up.
21:45And they wouldn't shut up about it.
21:47So, you know, I let them have it.
21:48Dad, you got in a fight because someone bad-mouthed your club?
21:52They wouldn't shut up about it.
21:53Yeah.
21:53You always tell me, don't read your reviews.
21:57What in the world could this guy have said that would have made you punch him in his face?
22:01Okay, maybe I wasn't defending the club and I was defending a person.
22:05Who?
22:06You.
22:09So, you brought her back to the beach house to talk about getting back together.
22:15You had it all planned out.
22:18Champagne, soft music, jacuzzi under the stars.
22:21But then the evening took an unexpected turn.
22:26She told you she was pregnant.
22:28Is that why you decided to strangle her?
22:31We have witnesses.
22:33We have DNA.
22:34And now we have motive.
22:36You'll never make it stick.
22:39Oh, like hell we won't.
22:41I only wish that I could administer the lethal injection myself.
22:45You sadistic bastard.
22:50Um, I'd like to try that again.
22:52Oh, no, you did great.
22:54We got it.
22:55No, but if you have any notes, I can play different...
22:57You nailed it.
22:58Great meeting you, Chloe, and thanks for coming in.
23:02Okay.
23:05Thanks.
23:19My phone.
23:21Well, this guy was a piece of work, man.
23:23Okay, Dad, but what could he have said that would have made you start a fight?
23:27You know what?
23:28That he was more of a Justin Bieber fan?
23:30You said that you were a chump for hooking up with Chloe.
23:33Oh, okay.
23:35Well, Dad, I appreciate you defending my honor, but how long have you been in this game?
23:38Mm, I know, I know.
23:41All right, so what else did he say?
23:43That's it.
23:44You're lying.
23:45Tell me.
23:48He said that he used to know Chloe from an acting class and that she'd always brag about
23:52how she was going to hook up with the richest star she could find.
23:55Wow, look at you.
23:57You don't even like Chloe and you defended her.
23:59It had been a long night, and I had had enough on the subject.
24:03All right.
24:05But a guy like that has no sense, you know, talking about Chloe.
24:09She's got her own career.
24:10She's doing great.
24:10She just had a cover for American Fashion Magazine, and now she's at a network pilot audition.
24:16That's what I thought.
24:17You know, a guy doesn't have the facts to back it up, so...
24:19Ah, who said Chauver is dead?
24:21I got a black eye and a swollen lip to prove it.
24:25Anyway, then go wash up and get out of your way.
24:28I'm sure you have a busy day.
24:29No, actually, all you gotta do is stop by Jake's office, add Lauren Tate to the finalist list.
24:35That's great.
24:37She could be quite a find.
24:39See ya.
25:05Let me just see what it is.
25:07Come on, come on.
25:08I'm going in.
25:09I'm diving in.
25:09Oh, my God.
25:10No, you're not.
25:11I'll go find it.
25:13Oh, my God.
25:14Wait.
25:14What are you doing?
25:18God, I can't...
25:18Hey, Stan, what's up?
25:19Are you back from Maui?
25:22What?
25:23Excellent.
25:24Yes.
25:24Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
25:26Of course I will be there.
25:27Oh, fuck.
25:28Mwah.
25:29I booked the network pilot.
25:30I booked it.
25:31Oh, my God.
25:32Amazing.
25:37No, do not answer.
25:38Oh, my God.
25:39Stan said that they're going to send over the scripts and the contracts.
25:42I've got to get over.
25:42I'm sorry.
25:46Hold up.
25:50What the?
25:51We've got a problem.
26:02You know what?
26:02You're just in time to help me celebrate the network pilot I just booked.
26:05I don't care about your pilot.
26:07That's a disappointing attitude, my friend.
26:09You see, I'm not your friend, okay?
26:12And neither is Chloe.
26:13So unless you want to find your ass in jail, leave her alone.
26:16You got that?
26:18No more calls.
26:19No more surprise visits.
26:20The stocking stops now.
26:22Hey, you're blowing this out of proportion.
26:24Yeah, I showed up at her place once.
26:25Stop harassing you.
26:27I'm not.
26:27Yes, you are.
26:28Why'd you call her three times today?
26:30I just booked an amazing pilot.
26:32I wanted to share the news with an old friend.
26:34She doesn't consider you a friend.
26:36You know, I didn't realize you were so insecure that you had to check your chick's phone calls.
26:40That's sad.
26:41It's kind of creepy, really.
26:43All right, Tyler.
26:44Well, I know what you're doing.
26:45Okay, because somehow you blame Jake and I for your career tanking.
26:49And this little pathetic attempt to break Chloe and I up, it's payback.
26:53Brian?
26:54Eddie, I just told you, man.
26:55I booked an A-list pilot.
26:57I'm cool.
26:57On all fronts.
27:01Oh, my God.
27:02It's Eddie Duran.
27:04Erica, Eddie.
27:05He was just about to leave.
27:06Uh, I saw you perform at the Beacon in New York.
27:09It was sick.
27:11Tyler, how do you know Eddie?
27:13Yeah, well, we go way back.
27:14We've got some mutual friends.
27:16Maybe when I'm on television once a week, I'll be worthy of being your friend again.
27:22Final warning.
27:23Leave Chloe alone.
27:25Excuse me.
27:34Jake.
27:35Yo, where are you, my friend?
27:36You said this was important.
27:37No, it is.
27:38I'll be right there.
27:38I just had to take care of something first.
27:40You sound jacked up.
27:41Everything okay?
27:42It is now.
27:44One of the guys from Zombie Jukebox told me he recorded your audition on his phone last night.
27:48It automatically uploaded to his site.
27:50Sorry.
27:51So what's out there is a video of me not being able to sing and then running out of the
27:55room?
27:56Shoot me now.
27:57Adam, we have to get that video back.
27:58It's off the site, but others have taken it up.
28:00It's gone viral.
28:01Oh, look.
28:03It's the world's quietest singer.
28:06Adriana, you're suspended.
28:08Does Principal Nolan know you're hanging around, corrupting other students?
28:11I got permission to get my homework.
28:13And Lauren, you should be so embarrassed that you tried to sing with those losers and then failed.
28:18Epically.
28:19I mean, it's no wonder that your song didn't make it to the finals of Eddie's contest.
28:23You're a joke.
28:24You know, it's funny.
28:26Your dad really liked my song.
28:29What?
28:30Yeah.
28:30He liked it enough to pass it on to Eddie's father, Max, at his club.
28:35Okay, you're totally cray-cray.
28:37Oh, don't feel bad.
28:38I'm sure he'd help you, too, if you were good at something.
28:42What are you talking about?
28:43My dad would never help you.
28:45Why don't you go ask him?
28:51Enjoy your week off.
28:53Have a good vacation.
28:54Adam, I can't believe you let your friends record that catastrophe.
28:58I had no idea until just now, I swear.
29:01Guys, we have to do something about this.
29:03What do you want me to do?
29:04I don't know.
29:07Oh, my God.
29:08I am so sorry.
29:10No worries.
29:10It's my fault.
29:11I should have noticed you, of all people.
29:13Oh.
29:14Lauren Tate, right?
29:16I was actually looking for you.
29:18Yeah.
29:19Why?
29:20I need your help.
29:21I'm in Mr. Stevens' fifth period pre-calc class.
29:23You know, the one without the big cheating scandal?
29:25We're our finals next week, and he said you do after-school tutoring.
29:28I used to, but I work at the cafe now after school.
29:31I'm sorry.
29:32I'll work around your schedule.
29:33I'm hoping to get this lacrosse scholarship, and the counselor says my grades aren't quite
29:37good enough.
29:38So basically, I need you to save my butt.
29:40Can you help?
29:46Nora, I hope you had as much fun at the club last night as I did, thinking of you, Don.
29:52Come on.
30:10Hi.
30:12I know you're in surgery all day, but I just came home for lunch and got your lovely flowers.
30:17They're really beautiful.
30:18Thank you so much.
30:20Okay.
30:21Bye.
30:25That's the song that I wanted as a finalist.
30:27What happened?
30:28I happened.
30:29I mean, I thought she had potential, but not for the finals.
30:31What are you talking about?
30:32It's beautiful.
30:33I love it.
30:33Dude, am I the only one who thinks that this girl has a weak voice?
30:36No, she's just nervous.
30:38Who cares about her voice?
30:39It's about the song, not the singer.
30:41Look, the bottom line is that the contest is over, all right?
30:43And you already announced the finalists on a nationally syndicated radio show.
30:46I'm not saying that we should eliminate any of the top five.
30:48If we start playing around here, guys, people will think that the contest is rigged.
30:52We can always change the top five to the top ten.
30:54There you go.
30:55That's a great idea, Kelly.
30:56I love her.
30:57I just put a message on the website saying that we got so many great submissions, we just had to
31:01add more finalists.
31:02Yeah, and then all of the people that we didn't pick will think they should have been added and we'll
31:05have a top 50.
31:06No, no, no, no.
31:06Yeah, Kelly's got the right idea, okay?
31:08Ten's a good round number.
31:09Let's just make that happen.
31:11Well, it looks like I'm outnumbered.
31:13Fine, ten it is.
31:15Now we'll need four more semi-finalists to choose.
31:17I'm on it.
31:18I'll have it done before this afternoon.
31:20Mm.
31:21Knock yourself out.
31:22I'm going to head over to the studio to meet with Connor Morgan.
31:24Okay.
31:26Yo, Osborne Silver is super hot to meet with you about that movie deal.
31:30The only reason I played along with Connor was for Chloe.
31:33I'm not interested in doing the movie.
31:35Well, let me at least hear what he has to say, okay?
31:37I'll play it out as long as Chloe has a shot at the role.
31:39The minute she's in, I suddenly have a scheduling problem or something.
31:43Well, unless he makes us a deal we can't refuse?
31:45I mean, if he backs up a truckload of money, it is my job to clear a path.
31:50I cannot believe that sex god Cameron asked you to tutor him.
31:54I cannot believe he knew who I was.
31:56Everyone in our school knows who you are now.
31:58I was this close to graduating anonymously.
32:00Those days are over.
32:01Don't remind me.
32:02So, he can help make Cameron's college dreams come true.
32:06Why would I have time for that?
32:08Please.
32:08A cutie patootie is paying you to hang out with him.
32:11You make the time.
32:12Yeah, but pre-calc is a hard course.
32:14I don't know if I can get him ready in time to pass.
32:16He may need extra long sessions.
32:18I just feel it's dishonest to charge him if I'm not even sure I can help.
32:22I can think of a few things I'd like to help him with.
32:24No charge.
32:27Hey, Lauren.
32:29Hey, Cameron.
32:30So, can I count on you for some tutoring?
32:36Um, yeah.
32:38When do you want to start?
32:40How about today?
32:43So, Jake actually agreed to represent you again?
32:46We discussed the pilot I was up for.
32:48I just booked it.
32:49What happened to your face?
32:50Root canal.
32:51I'll tell Jake as soon as he gets back.
32:53It's a series regular.
32:54If it gets picked up.
32:55It's a great script.
32:56They always are.
32:57I'll make sure Jake knows to call you.
32:59I don't mind waiting.
33:01He's booked solid all afternoon.
33:03I'll make sure someone calls you.
33:05Bye.
33:16Yeah, no worries.
33:17I didn't think about bribing him with food.
33:20Beg your pardon?
33:21Oh, I'm sorry.
33:22I thought you were an actress trying to get Jake to rep you.
33:24Oh.
33:25No.
33:26I don't need management.
33:27I already got the role.
33:28Jake's wife.
33:29So, you're Tracy?
33:30Yeah.
33:31I can't believe we haven't met before.
33:33Are you one of Jake's clients?
33:35Soon it'd be if I could ever get in and see him.
33:37He's probably with his other wife.
33:38Eddie Duran?
33:39Mm-hmm.
33:39His wonder boy.
33:41Sometimes I can't even compete.
33:43Sounds like a head of nerve.
33:45No, with Eddie?
33:46No.
33:46Forget it.
33:47That's not too convincing.
33:48Now I know you're not an actress.
33:50I'm sorry.
33:51Who are you?
33:52Why don't you find out over coffee?
33:53My treat.
34:00This is perfect for Hollywood.
34:12No matter what's happened between us, Cynthia,
34:15you're still my little baby girl.
34:20Love you.
34:31Hey.
34:33You don't have to stop because of me.
34:34It sounds great.
34:35No, I was just messing around.
34:37How was the audition?
34:39Hideous.
34:40Showbiz sucks.
34:41Oh, I know.
34:42Let's quit and become doctors, huh?
34:44Ugh, even worse.
34:46You want to tell me about it?
34:47Oh, that's too depressing.
34:50Well, is there anything I can do to make you feel better?
34:53Um, use your rock star powers at the corner table at Katsuya?
34:58Ah, at least make it challenging.
35:01And then take me to the club with the longest line
35:04so we can whiz by everyone,
35:05and then you bribe the DJ to play my favorite songs all night,
35:09and we dance until dawn.
35:11Done, done, and done.
35:14I'll call my dad.
35:15And after that, make my phone reappear.
35:21I can't find it anywhere.
35:24Crazy.
35:29Oh.
35:34Tyler called me three times.
35:36He won't leave me alone.
35:37That's why I went over there today and told him to back off.
35:40You didn't.
35:42I wish you hadn't done that.
35:43Yeah, well...
35:45You promised me that you were going to ignore him.
35:48Well, it's kind of hard when he just continues to call you.
35:50What did he say?
35:51Just the typical Tyler nonsense.
35:54You know, that he was calling you to tell you that he booked some pilot.
35:57Wait, Tyler got the part?
35:59I don't know.
36:00And believe it or not, he denied all the stalking.
36:02Oh, well, you know that's a lie.
36:03Yeah, well, I guess maybe he's over it.
36:06I walked in there, and some girl was there, just about ready to do the walk of shame back to
36:11her car.
36:12Hmm.
36:14So, what'll it be?
36:15A macchiato?
36:16Something sweet on the side?
36:18I'm flattered, but I'm also married.
36:21Thought you caught that part.
36:23More like I dodged it.
36:24A man's got to try, right?
36:25Right.
36:26Listen, will you tell Jake?
36:27I'll meet him on the roof.
36:28He knows what that means.
36:29If you insist.
36:30It was nice meeting you.
36:31Did we?
36:32I still don't know your name.
36:34I guess that means we'll have to have a follow-up conversation.
36:39Let me get that for you.
36:40Thanks.
36:45You're still here.
36:47Yeah, well, it takes more than a rude assistant to get rid of me.
36:49Did you talk to Jake?
36:50Yes, I told him to drop everything and rush right out here to speak to you.
36:54Oddly, he said no.
36:58Jeez, Tyler, you're like a bad smell.
37:00What are you doing back here?
37:01You know that pilot I was up for?
37:03I booked it, just like I said I was.
37:05Congrats.
37:06Where's Tracy?
37:07She told me to tell you that she was up on the roof, whatever that means.
37:09Yo, do I need to get security up here?
37:10We've got nothing to say to each other.
37:12Jake, I just booked an A-list pilot.
37:14I'm back on track, you know, and there's no one I respect more than you to handle my career.
37:18Thanks, but no thanks, Tyler.
37:19I'll give you 25%.
37:21I don't care if you gave me 100%.
37:22I still wouldn't be interested, because we all know eventually it'll be 100% of nothing.
37:26You're letting what happened in the past get in the way of real business.
37:28It's a new day, bro.
37:30Let me make this crystal clear for you, bro.
37:32I don't give a damn if Scorsese himself gave you a three-picture deal.
37:35I still wouldn't be interested.
37:37I will not manage you, not now, not ever.
37:39You're going to regret this.
37:41Yeah, I know.
37:41I'm such an idiot.
37:43Please leave.
37:54Okay, so what are we going to do?
37:57I'm happy to just keep doing this.
37:59No, I mean about Hawaii.
38:03Last I checked, you couldn't go.
38:05I know, that's what I mean.
38:07Everything's changed now.
38:09Well, we'll just have to figure out another blend.
38:12I wanted it to be spesh.
38:15Well, we'll figure out another kind of spesh.
38:19We're going to have spesh right here.
38:21Okay, no.
38:21Phil, we cannot do anything in my house.
38:24At least, nothing Hawaii-style.
38:27I meant here, in L.A.
38:29Leave it to me.
38:32Close your eyes.
38:33What are you going to do?
38:35It's a surprise.
38:36Close your eyes.
38:39No peeking.
38:47Okay.
38:51Phil, this is gorgeous.
38:53I thought you'd like it.
38:54It looks really expensive, too.
38:58Okay, how do you afford to keep giving me all this bling?
39:01I'm frugal.
39:03I have no idea what that means.
39:06It means I'm careful with my money.
39:08Okay, but where did the money come from?
39:11I told you, I work.
39:12How?
39:13When?
39:14Where?
39:14You go to school, and then you have the stupid community service.
39:18It doesn't leave much time for job stuff.
39:21Do you like the present, or not?
39:24I love it.
39:25Even if it's stolen.
39:28What?
39:30Why would you think that?
39:31I'm not an idiot, Phil.
39:33There's too many coincidentals.
39:35Look, I don't care if you're a thief.
39:37Really.
39:38Can we talk about something else?
39:40Fine.
39:41Be that way.
39:43I'll get the truth out of you eventually.
39:45You can go ahead and try.
39:52Well, I get off at 7, so you want to swing by at 7.30?
39:55Sounds great.
39:56Is your address in the directory?
39:57Mm-hmm.
39:58Cool.
39:58See you then.
39:59Okay.
40:00Wait.
40:01How much do you charge?
40:0220 bucks an hour.
40:04Cool.
40:04No problem.
40:05See you later, Lauren.
40:07Bye, Cameron.
40:08Bye, Cameron.
40:09I know that's more than your normal rate, but I'm going to go ahead and take 10% of that.
40:13Jeez.
40:13Eddie, one night, Cameron the next.
40:15You're crushing it, Lau.
40:16Okay, you did not just compare Cameron to Eddie Duran.
40:19Famous Hawkeye and Hawkeye for everyday wear.
40:21I can't take it.
40:23It's too much.
40:23I bet he's just typical macho jock guy, totally conceited.
40:27Now I have to teach him polynomials.
40:30Way to go, Lauren.
40:31Wow, word gets out fast about tutoring.
40:33I'm talking about the update on Eddie Duran's fan page.
40:36What were you doing on Eddie Duran's fan page?
40:38You're becoming one of us, Adam.
40:40What's up?
40:41Due to overwhelming response, Eddie's added five more names to the list of some.
40:45My finalists.
40:46And check out the list of names.
40:49I'm on it.
40:49You're on it.
40:50I'm on it.
40:50Oh my God, you're on it.
40:51I'm on it.
40:51You're on it.
40:52You're on the contest.
40:54Okay, so three finalists will be announced at an awards ceremony on Friday night at Max
40:58Duran's club.
40:58The three will then compete on stage for the winning position.
41:03Compete?
41:04Normally what happens at a contest?
41:05On stage?
41:07What is it?
41:08What's the problem?
41:08Guys, I'm going to have to sing in public.
41:11In front of Eddie Duran.
41:12It's the perfect day.
41:38It's the perfect day.
41:41I'm on it.
41:43I'm out.
41:44Oh, hi.
41:44Yeah.
