| 00:07:35 |
No! |
| 00:07:36 |
It is insane! |

After everything |
| 00:07:40 |
LEE: I'll do this, |
| 00:07:48 |
Talk to her, Bucky. |
| 00:07:54 |
Jesus. |
| 00:07:58 |
Lee, she's right. |
| 00:08:01 |
There's at least |
| 00:08:03 |
You can't... |
| 00:08:14 |
I promised him a week on this. |

Three days |

I tried to tell myself |
| 00:08:30 |
I was worried it was true. |

| 00:09:09 |
I am now. |

"Maddy, girl, |
| 00:09:17 |
"in such unsuitable places." |

I know you knew them, |
| 00:09:32 |
Otherwise, it's downtown |
| 00:09:47 |
This is all a fluke. |
| 00:09:49 |
I met them at LaVerne's |
| 00:09:51 |
Betty, maybe one time. |
| 00:09:54 |
They'd come in |
| 00:09:58 |
So why'd you rabbit |

Mister, |

The Emmett Linscott? |
| 00:10:08 |
He built half of Hollywood |

| 00:10:13 |
"Construction Tycoon's |
| 00:10:17 |
"Footsie |
| 00:10:19 |
Get the picture? |

| 00:10:22 |
So what'd you talk about? |
| 00:10:26 |
When? |
| 00:10:27 |
When you were playing footsie. |
| 00:10:33 |
Lorna talked about her stupid |
| 00:10:38 |
Betty talked about the latest |
| 00:10:42 |
Starlets, Hollywood dreams, |
| 00:10:46 |
So, did Betty ever tell you |
| 00:10:49 |
On a conversational level, |
| 00:10:53 |
Cute. Answer the question. |
| 00:10:56 |
Look, I'm tired. |

Sure. |

what do I have to do to keep |

What do you mean? |
| 00:11:27 |
That's not very convincing. |
| 00:11:30 |
I don't need |

You know it's not |

I might be convinced. |

Oh, one more thing. |

What's your name? |

Bucky Bleichert. |
| 00:12:00 |
Bucky? |

I'll try to remember. |

Yes, that would be |

Yeah, it's an earthquake. |

Look, I didn't know |

I told him |

So, if you have |

BUCKY: Who's this? |
| 00:14:36 |
Balto. |

The paper is the L.A. Times |

Balto was bringing in |

when Daddy found out |

He wanted to consecrate |

so he shot him. |

And my sister, |

Saw you fight Mondo Sanchez. |

BUCKY: Thanks. |
| 00:15:21 |
Can I get you something? |
| 00:15:23 |
I'll get it, Daddy. |

Mondo gave a good show. |

Too bad. |

Yes. Very realistic. |

EMMETT: An old friend |
| 00:16:51 |
We were in the Scots Regiment |
| 00:16:53 |
He wanted to work |
| 00:16:55 |
When did you move here? |
| 00:16:56 |
1920. |
| 00:16:57 |
Hollywood was a cow pasture |
| 00:17:01 |
Georgie got work |
| 00:17:04 |
Georgie introduced me |
| 00:17:06 |
I helped him build |
| 00:17:08 |
underneath |
| 00:17:10 |
Hollywoodland. |
| 00:17:11 |
I used to love |
| 00:17:13 |
Me, too. |
| 00:17:14 |
Old Mack knew how |
| 00:17:18 |
He had extras moonlighting |
| 00:17:22 |
Georgie and I used to drive |
| 00:17:24 |
after 12 hours |
| 00:17:26 |
Then put in another six hours |
| 00:17:29 |
He even gave us movie credits |
| 00:17:37 |
EMMETT: Mother. |
| 00:17:38 |
Are you feeling well? |
| 00:17:40 |
Would you like to contribute |

| 00:17:53 |
that Ramona Boulevard |
| 00:17:57 |
I didn't. |
| 00:17:59 |
When Emmett married me, |
| 00:18:04 |
for my father's money, |
| 00:18:07 |
he promised my family |
| 00:18:10 |
with the City Zoning Board |
| 00:18:12 |
to have a street named |
| 00:18:16 |
But all he could manage |
| 00:18:19 |
was a dead-end block |
| 00:18:22 |
in a red-light district |
| 00:18:25 |
in Lincoln Heights. |
| 00:18:29 |
Are you familiar with |
| 00:18:34 |

BUCKY: You kept your name |

Until the wedding. |

Your mother would love that. |
| 00:21:42 |
She's a snob. |

Do you want to know a secret? |
| 00:22:08 |
Sure. |

Daddy bought |
| 00:22:12 |
and old movie sets |
| 00:22:14 |
and built houses |

You didn't? |
| 00:23:07 |
Don't be mad at me. |
| 00:23:10 |
Last summer, I heard about |
| 00:23:15 |
I got curious. |

I left notes |

Yes. |

| 00:37:17 |
When? |
| 00:37:23 |
Now. |
| 00:37:25 |
Dwight. |
| 00:37:49 |
(DOOR CLOSING) |
| 00:37:51 |
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) |
| 00:38:14 |
Bobby DeWitt? |
| 00:38:16 |
Get your hands up. |
| 00:38:17 |
Get up against that wall |
| 00:38:18 |
Keep your hands |
| 00:38:21 |
Jesus. |
| 00:38:36 |
I ain't out one week, and... |
| 00:38:40 |
You're here for a drug deal |
| 00:38:43 |
Look, I'm just looking |
| 00:38:45 |
Lee Blanchard's here. |
| 00:38:47 |
Man-oh-Manischewitz, |
| 00:38:50 |
Yeah, |
| 00:38:52 |
And you've been on his mind. |
| 00:38:54 |
I'm thinking that you let |
| 00:38:57 |
Look, maybe |
| 00:39:00 |
maybe talking trash |
| 00:39:02 |
but all I know is |
| 00:39:04 |
and when that fucker |
| 00:39:06 |
Finish up. |
| 00:39:07 |
I don't know |
| 00:39:10 |
Sir, all this between |
| 00:39:11 |
is that I fucked this |
| 00:39:14 |
MAN: Hold it, pal. |
| 00:39:24 |
(GUN FIRING) |
| 00:39:46 |
Blanchard, behind you! |
| 00:39:53 |
BUCKY: Blanchard! |
| 00:39:57 |
(LEE SCREAMING) |
| 00:40:13 |
(SCREAMING) |
| 00:00:46 |
Here. |
| 00:00:52 |
My apologies, |
| 00:00:55 |
My men are instructed |
| 00:01:04 |
The guy |
| 00:01:08 |
I assume DeWitt brought him |
| 00:01:11 |
No identification, |
| 00:01:15 |
You understand why we must |
| 00:01:19 |
It's your building. |
| 00:01:21 |
Uh-huh. |
| 00:01:24 |
Come on. Bring him in. |
| 00:01:30 |
Officer? |
| 00:01:34 |
See what we got here? |
| 00:01:38 |
I can't think of another way, |
| 00:01:43 |
Come here. |
| 00:01:45 |
Come on. |
| 00:01:46 |
Come. |
| 00:02:08 |
Want to say something? |
| 00:02:17 |
Fire and Ice. |
| 00:02:24 |
Fire and Ice. |
| 00:02:25 |
FRIEDMAN: Excuse me? |
| 00:02:30 |
Nothing. |
| 00:02:36 |
Just do it quick. |
| 00:03:24 |
What happened? |
| 00:03:32 |
What happened? |
| 00:03:50 |
BUCKY. Stolen witness reports, |
| 00:03:51 |
medical records, |
| 00:03:54 |
Lee had turned his life |
| 00:03:56 |
and my dad's apartment |
| 00:04:02 |
I confessed |
| 00:04:06 |
How long have you known |
| 00:04:12 |
I don't know. |
| 00:04:14 |
Why show me now? |
| 00:04:19 |
I don't know. |
| 00:04:25 |
He's not coming back, |
| 00:04:36 |
Stupid son of a bitch, |
| 00:04:38 |
getting himself killed |
| 00:04:42 |
Damn. |
| 00:04:46 |
Did you tell Kay? |
| 00:04:54 |
Well, that's as far |
| 00:04:59 |
Mo Friedman was right. |
| 00:05:02 |
Our boy doesn't need |
| 00:05:07 |
This... |
| 00:05:10 |
I want you to |
| 00:05:13 |
We are going to make |
| 00:05:16 |
MAN. What's a sexy girl |
| 00:05:20 |
Nothing. |
| 00:05:22 |
You've got tears |
| 00:05:25 |
Just a bad day. |
| 00:05:29 |
It's all right. |
| 00:05:31 |
You look like you have |
| 00:05:34 |
I'm a fun-Ioving gal. |
| 00:05:36 |
You got any special guys |
| 00:05:39 |
I have a fiancé. |
| 00:05:42 |
Yeah, I met him in Florida. |
| 00:05:45 |
And it was one |
| 00:05:48 |
Gosh, I don't know |
| 00:05:51 |
but it was love |
| 00:05:52 |
Yeah, I get it |
| 00:05:55 |
(MAN LAUGHING) |
| 00:05:57 |
That's what it was. |
| 00:05:59 |
He asked me to marry him |
| 00:06:01 |
And then, the next day, |
| 00:06:04 |
Well, that "ask you |
| 00:06:08 |
No, he promised |
| 00:06:10 |
He was an Air Force captain, |
| 00:06:15 |
And you know |
| 00:06:18 |
He used to write me |
| 00:06:21 |
such beautiful, florid, |
| 00:06:26 |
Oh, a poet. |
| 00:06:28 |
Just a decent guy. |
| 00:06:31 |
So, what happened |
| 00:06:42 |
Well, the night that |
| 00:06:47 |
he was called to |
| 00:06:50 |
and his plane crashed |
| 00:06:55 |
over India. |
| 00:06:58 |
And now he's dead. |
| 00:07:02 |
Boy, you sure know |
| 00:07:08 |
Yeah, I sure do. |
| 00:07:10 |
(ELIZABETH LAUGHING) |
| 00:07:12 |
Okay. Should I read |
| 00:07:15 |
Yeah. |
| 00:07:16 |
Okay. |
| 00:07:21 |
I'm told that |
| 00:07:25 |
(PHONE RINGING) |
| 00:07:29 |
I'm collating the KA update |
| 00:07:31 |
Anything new |
| 00:07:34 |
No. |
| 00:07:35 |
Dolph's tonight? |
| 00:07:37 |
I'm going to Kay's. |
| 00:07:41 |
Wednesday nights |
| 00:07:45 |
We haven't done it since. |
| 00:07:53 |
We're going to try. |
| 00:08:08 |
Should we say something? |
| 00:08:14 |
We haven't said anything. |
| 00:08:23 |
To my supercops. |
| 00:08:31 |
I feel like I haven't said |
| 00:08:35 |
Haven't done anything right. |
| 00:08:38 |
There's nothing to say. |
| 00:08:39 |
There is. |
| 00:08:43 |
There is. |
| 00:08:48 |
He saved my life. |
| 00:08:51 |
He saved my life, |
| 00:08:57 |
Dwight. |
| 00:09:04 |
I couldn't move. |
| 00:09:08 |
I couldn't move. |
| 00:09:11 |
I didn't move. |
| 00:09:15 |
I never move. I'm sorry. |
| 00:09:20 |
Kay, I'm sorry. |
| 00:09:32 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:09:34 |
I could've saved him. |
| 00:11:00 |
"Shoddy home construction?" |
| 00:11:04 |
I cut my foot |
| 00:11:06 |
You got it in you |
| 00:11:09 |
Yeah, of course. |
| 00:11:39 |
(HAMMERING) |
| 00:11:44 |
Dwight. |
| 00:11:54 |
Dwight. |
| 00:12:28 |
I'd always wondered |
| 00:12:35 |
Were you ever |
| 00:12:41 |
He'd given all his money |
| 00:12:45 |
He wanted to buy us a home. |
| 00:12:47 |
I didn't know |
| 00:12:53 |
Were you ever |
| 00:12:57 |
Something's burning. |
| 00:13:07 |
Bobby did do |
| 00:13:11 |
I don't know |
| 00:13:19 |
Things were getting really |
| 00:13:23 |
I knew this guy that Bobby |
| 00:13:27 |
He was a hophead |
| 00:13:28 |
that he sometimes snitched |
| 00:13:30 |
And that's how you met Lee? |
| 00:13:32 |
I told him what Bobby was |
| 00:13:36 |
and I told him about |
| 00:13:42 |
And then last year, |
| 00:13:45 |
The hophead? |
| 00:13:46 |
Yeah. |
| 00:13:49 |
Lee had given him $1,000 |
| 00:13:55 |
He found out |
| 00:13:57 |
and he threatened to tell him |
| 00:13:59 |
He wanted money that |
| 00:14:01 |
He wanted $10,000. |
| 00:14:03 |
What were we going to do? |
| 00:14:05 |
Promise me, promise me |
| 00:14:08 |
Forgive him |
| 00:14:12 |
What was the guy's name? |
| 00:14:17 |
Kay, tell me the guy's name. |
| 00:14:26 |
It was Baxter Fitch. |
| 00:14:30 |
BUCKY. Baxter Fitch, |
| 00:14:35 |
Lee killed them both |
| 00:14:39 |
making me witness, stooge, |
| 00:14:43 |
weak point |
| 00:14:45 |
KAY: You're so good |
| 00:14:50 |
Dwight, he loved you. |
| 00:14:53 |
This had nothing |
| 00:15:01 |
BUCKY. The basic rule |
| 00:15:04 |
Nothing stays buried forever. |
| 00:15:07 |
Corpses. Ghosts. |
| 00:15:11 |
Nothing stays buried forever. |
| 00:15:17 |
Family's in Laguna. |
| 00:15:20 |
But you know that. |
| 00:15:26 |
Lee and Kay had lived in sin, |
| 00:15:29 |
not because their shack job |
| 00:15:31 |
but because the ghosts |
| 00:15:38 |
The veneer of a fairy tale, |
| 00:15:41 |
only a band-aid |
| 00:15:48 |
I didn't believe |
| 00:15:52 |
It was a reunion |
| 00:15:55 |
old rutters who knew |
| 00:17:08 |
MARTHA. Have you met |
| 00:17:10 |
EMMETT. An old friend |
| 00:17:12 |
We were in the Scots Regiment |
| 00:17:15 |
He wanted to work |
| 00:17:21 |
What? |
| 00:17:22 |
Nothing. |
| 00:17:25 |
You miss them? |
| 00:17:26 |
Mother's insults? |
| 00:17:30 |
I just never imagined |
| 00:17:33 |
The way your father |
| 00:17:36 |
Different. |
| 00:17:38 |
They were young. |
| 00:17:41 |
He died last year. Angina. |
| 00:17:44 |
Daddy paid to have him |
| 00:17:50 |
That's very nice of him. |
| 00:17:53 |
BUCKY: I don't get modern art. |
| 00:17:57 |
I doubt modern art |
| 00:18:01 |
But I do. |
| 00:18:27 |
Kay, what the hell |
| 00:18:28 |
What am I doing here? |
| 00:18:30 |
How could you? |
| 00:18:32 |
You follow me here, |
| 00:18:33 |
What have I done? Nothing! |
| 00:18:35 |
I lied for you! |
| 00:18:38 |
What could I do but lie, |
| 00:18:39 |
You could have |
| 00:18:40 |
She looks like |
| 00:18:42 |
How sick are you? |
| 00:18:47 |
You're going to end up |
| 00:18:50 |
But I will not. |
| 00:18:55 |
(CAR DOOR CLOSING) |
| 00:18:56 |
(CAR ENGINE STARTING) |
| 00:19:05 |
KAY. She looks like that |
| 00:19:10 |
You're going to end up |
| 00:19:46 |
BUCKY. The set |
| 00:19:48 |
but not to the murder. |
| 00:19:52 |
For that, I needed |
| 00:19:55 |
and focus on where. |
| 00:19:58 |
EMMETT. Georgie |
| 00:20:01 |
I helped him build |
| 00:20:03 |
underneath |
| 00:20:06 |
MARTHA. Hollywoodland. |
| 00:21:05 |
BUCKY. Lorna Mertz said |
| 00:21:10 |
People lie. |
| 00:21:26 |
CORONER. |
| 00:21:36 |
(WATER FLOWING) |
| 00:21:46 |
I say then he drained |
| 00:23:52 |
MADELEINE: I don't |
| 00:23:54 |
EMMETT: One of my foremen |
| 00:23:58 |
There'll be hell to pay. |
| 00:24:00 |
It's about time I showed |
| 00:24:04 |
I don't want to go |
| 00:24:06 |
You're always talking |
| 00:24:10 |
Yeah, but it's got |
| 00:24:13 |
What is that, Emmett? |
| 00:24:17 |
Saps like me? |
| 00:24:20 |
Or is that what you needed? |
| 00:24:22 |
Oh, laddie. |
| 00:24:26 |
You killed Elizabeth Short, |
| 00:24:28 |
and the two of you |
| 00:24:31 |
You made that stag film |
| 00:24:34 |
I've seen the set. |
| 00:24:37 |
I found it all. |
| 00:24:40 |
You're not the shooting type |
| 00:24:44 |
(MADELEINE SCREAMS) |
| 00:24:48 |
You might be half right. |
| 00:24:49 |
Jesus Christ, Bleichert. |
| 00:24:52 |
Great. Let's talk art. |
| 00:24:53 |
Let's talk The Man Who Laughs. |
| 00:24:58 |
I've got you. |
| 00:24:59 |
So you don't |
| 00:25:01 |
I don't think |
| 00:25:05 |
Stop! Georgie did it! |
| 00:25:11 |
Oh, that's rich. |
| 00:25:12 |
Blame it on the poor, |
| 00:25:14 |
No, Bucky. It's true. |
| 00:25:17 |
Georgie was always sneaking |
| 00:25:19 |
He saw them make the movie |
| 00:25:28 |
More. |
| 00:25:29 |
There are so many |
| 00:25:31 |
All right. |
| 00:25:33 |
Betty called, |
| 00:25:36 |
I put Daddy on |
| 00:25:40 |
You must've known |
| 00:25:42 |
Well, he was passive. |
| 00:25:46 |
I mean, |
| 00:25:48 |
Did you know that? |
| 00:25:50 |
We didn't know |
| 00:25:52 |
RAMONA: Liar! |
| 00:25:54 |
Liar! |
| 00:25:56 |
You did him enough damage, |
| 00:26:05 |
I would appreciate it |
| 00:26:10 |
The rich don't own art |
| 00:26:14 |
We safe keep it |
| 00:26:17 |
How did Emmett damage Georgie? |
| 00:26:20 |
What did he do |
| 00:26:28 |
Who made what made who crazy? |
| 00:26:38 |
It was Madeleine. |
| 00:26:43 |
She was 11 years old, |
| 00:26:47 |
and she looked |
| 00:26:49 |
Ramona! |
| 00:26:50 |
Shut up, Emmett! |
| 00:27:00 |
That's right, Officer. |
| 00:27:05 |
Not that Emmett cared |
| 00:27:08 |
But he was her father. |
| 00:27:11 |
And for that, |
| 00:27:13 |
he ruined George's face. |
| 00:27:22 |
When he got out of hospital, |
| 00:27:25 |
I gave him the Hugo book |
| 00:27:30 |
He had worked construction |
| 00:27:32 |
It was always |
| 00:27:36 |
That's right. My book. |
| 00:27:39 |
My picture. My Gwynplaine. |
| 00:27:46 |
What about Betty Short? |
| 00:27:49 |
Well, that was |
| 00:27:58 |
He was obsessed with her, |
| 00:28:05 |
BUCKY. And your husband |
| 00:28:10 |
He's a shy wee lad, |
| 00:28:13 |
It'd make him very happy, |
| 00:28:16 |
BUCKY. What did you do, |
| 00:28:20 |
RAMONA. I was |
| 00:28:23 |
waiting up in Hollywoodland. |
| 00:28:27 |
Oh, gosh. |
| 00:28:29 |
(CREAKING) |
| 00:28:48 |
It was the second swing, |
| 00:28:52 |
woke her up. |
| 00:28:55 |
She looked so like my Maddy. |
| 00:29:00 |
It was |
| 00:29:02 |
the cruelest joke of all. |
| 00:29:13 |
(RAMONA CHUCKLING) |
| 00:29:20 |
We'll ruin you in court. |
| 00:29:22 |
Over what? Some little slut? |
| 00:29:30 |
(RAMONA GROANS) |
| 00:29:42 |
BUCKY. It was |
| 00:29:46 |
The rich lived differently. |
| 00:30:34 |
Hello, Officer Bleichert. |
| 00:30:37 |
Did you come to pay your |
| 00:30:40 |
I came to talk to you |
| 00:30:44 |
He came here, didn't he? |
| 00:30:53 |
Tell me. |
| 00:31:13 |
Adios yourself back |
| 00:31:15 |
I've got business |
| 00:31:29 |
Bucky. |
| 00:31:31 |
Lee knew everything about you |
| 00:31:35 |
He knew everything, |
| 00:31:37 |
I don't know |
| 00:31:40 |
I went by your house today. |
| 00:31:44 |
She told me that a policeman |
| 00:31:48 |
asking questions about |
| 00:31:55 |
She told him that |
| 00:31:59 |
Martha was always |
| 00:32:02 |
He was blackmailing |
| 00:32:14 |
No. I beat up a wall. |
| 00:32:16 |
So, |
| 00:32:21 |
on the night that |
| 00:32:24 |
you tracked him there. |
| 00:32:42 |
I've been pointing my gun |
| 00:32:47 |
I haven't had a chance |
| 00:32:50 |
What do you think? |
| 00:32:51 |
I think you'd rather fuck me |
| 00:32:56 |
but you don't have |
| 00:33:02 |
You're a boxer, not a fighter. |
| 00:33:06 |
You're a murderer. |
| 00:33:08 |
Of my partner. |
| 00:33:10 |
A murderer? |
| 00:33:14 |
Of Lee Blanchard? |
| 00:33:20 |
You should thank me |
| 00:33:23 |
If it weren't for me, |
| 00:33:24 |
you wouldn't |
| 00:33:26 |
to fuck your partner's girl. |
| 00:33:29 |
You don't talk |
| 00:33:31 |
Wait. I forgot. |
| 00:33:39 |
You don't fuck her anymore |
| 00:33:44 |
because you'd rather |
| 00:33:47 |
You don't talk about them. |
| 00:33:51 |
You chose me over her. |
| 00:33:55 |
You'll choose me over him. |
| 00:34:01 |
He was going to take |
| 00:34:05 |
leave all of you. |
| 00:34:18 |
You'd never shoot me. |
| 00:34:23 |
Don't forget who I look like. |
| 00:34:26 |
Because that girl, |
| 00:34:29 |
