X
She moves in, and a week later,
Sydney's dead.
Coincidence?
Okay, the girl's
a little weird,
but that doesn't make her
a murderer.
You know, there's a hostess
that just quit at Cole.
If I can put in a good word
for you
Hey.
Wow!
We're getting married, guys.
All my life all I wanted was
to be a doctor.
I went on this fancy
dinner with this guy.
He offered me $5,000
to have sex with him.
Hi.
I'm Ella Simms,
junior publicist.
Jonah, you are
a hugely-talented filmmaker.
AMIR:
What's a rich boy like you
doing this stuff for,
anyway?
Look, I need
cash, okay?
David, what happened?
DAVID:
I borrowed a buddy
of mine's bike, spun it out.
Your injuries are
completely inconsistent
with your story, David.
Anton V wants you
to model for his new line.
Ella has a thing for you.
You think Ella's the one
trying to come between us
when you
and Auggie are, like?
RILEY:
Friends?
Oh, God.
You can come
to me with anything.
We're not gonna make it
if we just keep secrets
from each other.
RILEY:
I promise, no more secrets.
(with English accent):
Oh, that's beautiful.
Amazing.
Oh, this is wonderful.
I love it.
It's heaven.
Work it, darling.
Oh, it's gorgeous.
Work it.
That's it.
Do I look tired?
I got, like, an hour
of sleep last night.
No.
What,
pre-photo shoot jitters?
Riley,
your smile could melt
the polar ice caps.
Okay? That lens
is gonna love you today.
(sighs)
Well, it doesn't
make me feel any less
guilty for telling my students
that their teacher
eacher
has a case
of the sniffles.
Ah, so what? You go a couple
of days without a gold star.
Not the end
of the world.
A little white lie not
gonna hurt you, especially
if we're getting ten grand
for you to pose
in a pair of jeans.
Oh, my God, isn't your huge
meeting at Paramount today?
Yup.
Why am I the only one
having an anxiety attack?
I guess I'm just good
at hiding my nerves.
I mean, I'm only
about to have a sit-down
with a guy whose films have
grossed over a billion dollars.
Do you realize,
if Andrew Misher
turns Living in Reverse
into a feature,
this could be huge for me.
Nothing would
make me happier.
But for the record,
I don't need to see your
name in the opening credits
to know that I am marrying
the perfect guy.
We wouldn't even be daydreaming
about any opening credits
if you hadn't talked
me up to that agent.
(laughs)
What are you doing?
Shh.
They're back.
The sparrows?
Yeah.
See the eggs?
Oh.
You know what that means?
That you win the bet.
And that I have the
honor of bringing you
lattes for the next week.
Lucky me.
What are you guys looking at?
Oh, nothing.
We were just, uh
We had a bet whether
or not these sparrows
would be back.
VIOLET:
Oh, how sweet.
Shouldn't you be
in a classroom right now?
Actually, I'm taking
the day off.
I'm sort of working
this shoot for Anton V jeans.
AUGGIE:
Well, like, as a
photo assistant?
Like as a model.
No way.
A model? Wow.
Guess I'm just
used to you in
a ponytail and running shorts.
Well, that's sort of
why they hired me.
The campaign is "Real
People Wear Real Denim.
"
Anton saw me at one
of Jonah's jobs, and,
I don't know,
wanted to photograph me.
Well, I don't blame him.
I don't know.
All those people
staring at you.
Sounds totally stressful.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Well, I better go.
Um, the shoot
is way out in Malibu.
Well, you're going to do great.
So
I hate to be the neighbor
who is, like, always
asking for a cup of sugar,
but I just got
this new furniture,
and it's in,
like, 200 pieces.
Yeah, I could probably
help you out with that.
Thank you so much.
I seriously didn't know
what I was going to do
if you said no.
Yeah, I, uh I think
I should be free after work,
so, uh, I guess
I could stop by after that.
Perfect.
Okay.
(indistinct voices)
Riley? Miss Richmond?
Um, hi.
You better
have a tardy slip.
You're here?
Yeah.
WPK wanted me to hold your
hand through your first shoot,
but so far, I've only had to
make excuses for the late model.
There was an accident on PCH.
Where's Anton?
Driving in
from downtown.
No wonder he's running late.
Look, next time, just leave a
couple hours earlier, okay?
This is a big
deal, Riley.
You could have
missed a lot more
than just the
Pledge of Allegiance.
Remember, you look
good, I look good.
Now, come on, let's go.
Hey, look at you.
No scars, no bruising.
Looks like
you're gonna live, after all.
Thanks to you, I'm a new man.
Yeah, just no more
fistfights, all right?
Doctor's orders.
Can't make any promises.
(sighs)
Might want
to tend to this one.
Oh.
These people.
God.
I've told them,
like, ten times
there's been some mistake.
They keep sending me
these stupid notices.
Yeah, the bold-faced
"Past Due"
on that envelope
looks pretty serious.
Uh, yeah.
It's nothing to be
embarrassed about, Lauren.
It's not like you're
the first person
who's ever fallen behind
on a tuition payment.
Right.
This is from the guy
who's never worried
about a bill in his life.
Nice.
(laughs)
How much do you need?
It's fine.
They've given me till the end
of semester to pay in full,
and I've already made a lot
of headway, so it's-it's fine.
How much, Lauren?
$20,000.
Let me loan it to you.
What?!
Yeah.
(laughs)
No, there's no way.
No.
Straight up.
No interest.
There's got to be some benefit
in knowing a kid with
a trust fund, right?
That's a really generous offer,
but even with a trust fund,
you can afford
to spare that kind of money?
When they're gonna
kick the best doctor
I've ever had out
of med school, I can.
But money and friends
That can get complicated.
I don't
I'll make sure it doesn't.
Sleep on it.
(indistinct voices)
Okay, so Anton is obsessed
with this photographer.
Another one of
his genius ideas.
He started using
her six months ago
after he saw her shots of the
starving children in Africa.
Pretty much he would go to
the edge of the world for her.
And that is basically
where we are now.
I didn't realize there would be
so many people here.
No, no.
Keep the butterflies
to yourself.
(sighs)
Oh, and also,
try not to think
about the fact
that everybody out here is here
braving the elements
because of you.
Come on.
Hi.
Hey.
Wow.
Gorgeous hair,
sparkling eyes.
You must be my model.
Yeah.
Hi.
Riley Richmond,
meet Jo Reynolds.
Oh, my God.
You're Jo Reynolds?
The photojournalist.
The, uh, fashion
photographer.
Oh.
What do you say
we shoot this thing?
All right, schoolteacher,
let's start
with some test shots.
Uh, I have to admit,
it's a little intimidating
posing for you.
Chin up.
Actually, I studied
your "Snapshots from Darfur"
project at NYU.
It was really powerful.
Turn to the left.
Yeah, Darfur
was mind-blowing
and heartbreaking.
Have you ever been to Africa?
(sighs)
I wish.
Started teaching
right after graduation, so,
not a lot of time for travel.
Well, isn't that
what summers are for?
I mean, there's a whole world
outside of that
classroom of yours.
Well, my fiancé and I have
a few bills to pay off
before we can even think about
traveling around the world.
Fiancé?
Aren't you a little young
to commit for the rest
of your life?
Okay, I'm just going to
change a lens.
Take five.
Okay.
This is never gonna work.
She's a total amateur.
Well, that's why Anton
hired her-- a real girl
for real denim.
Oh, come on.
Models are like jeans.
You just have to break
them in a little bit.
I see this all the time
with the new girls.
You know, she's just
afraid to lose her inhibitions.
I need hot, I need sexy.
How am I doing?
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
You're doing great.
I'm just gonna
shake it up a bit,
look for a different look,
so, um, keep the jeans,
and, uh, lose the top.
There you go.
Parking's straight ahead.
TOUR GUIDE: And we're pulling up
to New York Street right now,
the famous backlot of
MISHER: Well, do me a favor,
why don't you read the script?
I'm telling you, it is
Oscar-caliber material.
Yeah, well-well, sure,
Johnny, take your time,
but I-I got to be
honest with you.
Leo's people are all over me
for this role,
so let us know
soon, huh?
All right.
Hey,
take care, Johnny.
You must be the
Jonah Miller.
Living in Reverse.
I'm Andy.
That wasn't
was that Johnny Depp
on the phone?
Welcome to the
dream, my friend.
Hop on.
We got a lot
to discuss.
I am a huge fan
of your films.
When I heard
that you watched
my short, I was
I thought they
were going to have
to peel me up
off the floor.
Good.
'Cause I got to tell you,
I loved it.
I completely identified
with that character.
It's like everything
is finally going right,
and then ***!
It all turns
upside down.
Exactly.
Yeah.
So, here's
what I think.
Love the title.
Okay.
Love the characters.
Not so in love
with the story in reverse.
Okay.
Uh, I mean, that's
it's kind of the point,
'cause it's called
Living In Reverse.
Yeah, but who wants
to pay ten bucks
to see a movie backwards?
Right.
Um
Trust me on this one.
ELLA: All right,
let's go, hot stuff.
Jo's locked and loaded.
Ella, you have
to stop this.
I am not taking
my shirt off.
Riley, sweetheart,
this is a jeans ad.
A little skin is par
for the course.
Does Anton know about this?
Well, he's still
on the road,
but I just spoke to him,
and he loves the take.
(sighs)
Okay?
Jo knows
what she's doing.
What happens
when my parents Google
"Riley Richmond"
and they see this
on the Internet?
You're an adult, Riley.
I mean, how many people
do you know
that can throw on
a pair of jeans
and get paid ten grand?
Which-- not to mention--
is, like,
in Jonah dollars.
(sighs)
Maybe I'm just not
cut out for this.
(scoffs)
Come on, Riley,
you're beautiful.
And not just
denim ad beautiful, either.
You're you're one
of those girls
who can't walk
into a room
without everyone
falling in love with them.
It's disgusting,
actually.
Thanks
I guess.
And the camera
is the same way.
You know,
you'll walk out there,
it'll fall madly in love
with you,
everyone will gush and
it'll be great.
Okay?
To be totally honest,
you were the last person
I wanted by my side for this.
But I'm actually glad
you're here.
Good.
Now, will you get your butt
out there
and try to enjoy
being a diva for once?
Please, can you?
Think ***.
Attitude, attitude.
Shake it off,
shake it off.
Breathe.
Okay.
Work the ladies, work the
ladies, work the ladies.
Let's go.
(garbled dispatch transmission)
Man, if they ever found out
I was selling
these treasure maps
Yeah, mum's the word.
Where are the security codes?
You're doing
the world a favor.
By increasing
the crime rate?
No, by letting these
rich *** know
they can't lie and
cheat their way
into these million-
dollar homes.
Hey, this home
up on Alpine
they launder drug money.
They're getting
what they deserve.
So, we make the lead a woman.
I'm telling you,
Cameron Diaz
is going to flip
for this thing.
We tell the story
in chronological order,
lose all the black
and white stuff.
How's that sound?
SECRETARY:
Andrew Misher's office
It's
it sounds very, uh, different.
Great.
Listen, I got
to head out,
but I love
what we're orbiting here.
Can't wait
for your new take.
We'll talk soon, kid.
SECRETARY:
Andrew Misher's office
Ah.
I know that look.
You think you're giving
Andrew Misher Sling Blade,
and he pitches you back
the next Freddy Krueger.
Oh, no, it wasn't so bad.
(chuckling):
Right.
I'm Kendra, his
development exec.
Sorry I missed your meeting.
I had a five-minute notes call
with Michael Bay
that turned into two
hours of arguing.
(sighs) Geez.
Yeah.
Um, Jonah.
Miller, I know.
I'm the one
Charlie Kitsis called
to get you in the door.
Oh.
Uh, the door that's about
to hit me on the way out?
It just turns out
that Andrew and I are on
completely separate pages
with all this.
Andrew's never on anyone's page.
But the good news is,
I actually have
a lot of say in how we
develop the scripts.
Let me guess.
Mine needs a 3-D alien invasion
followed with an apocalypse?
(laughing):
No.
Actually, I wouldn't
change a thing.
I want to turn Living in Reverse
into a feature film.
And if you're not
busy now, I'd love
to discuss what we can do
to make that happen
on your terms.
Are you punking me?
No.
Is it, like
Seriously?
So, what's taking her
so long?
Okay, so here's
the deal.
Riley's chest has seen
the light of day
about as often
as the latest Usher album.
She's been with
three guys her entire life,
and her idea of a good time
is hanging out at Whole Foods
trying to convince you
to save the whales.
So, if you want her
to feel comfortable,
you're going to have to appeal
to her sensibilities.
Comfortable is the last thing
I want her to feel.
All right.
You ready?
You good to lose the shirt?
"Good" is stretching it.
Come on, sweetie.
Riley, this is a
jeans ad, you know.
All the models
are topless,
and I don't come up
with this stuff,
so just relax
deep breath.
It'll be beautiful.
JO:
Here we go.
There we go.
Don't be afraid
to show that body of yours.
No more fake smiles.
We tried that already.
Come on,
this is a campaign
about raw emotion.
You're a real woman
with real feelings.
Let it all out.
What do you think
I'm trying to do?
I don't know.
You're still hiding it.
Come on.
These are the jeans
that the teacher puts on
after the bell rings.
Hey.
She's new at this,
remember?
Go easy on her.
I want you to show me
the side of you
that wants to unchain herself
from the classroom,
from the fiancé
and everything else
that's stopping you
from being the person
you really want to be.
I am the person I want to be.
Oh, come on.
Nobody really wants
to teach public school
and marry some guy
who can't even pay the bills!
Come on.
You're just afraid
of the unknown.
All right, that's it.
You know what? That guy
is someone I love, and that
classroom is my passion.
Even on the hardest days,
at least I know I'm
following my heart.
That's a lot more
than I can say about you.
Okay, Riley, sweetheart,
why don't we go for a walk
and unwind a little bit?
Somebody get her
a benzo, ASAP.
Forget it, I quit.
Hey.
You have a minute?
Uh, now is not actually
a good time.
You okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Just on my way
to a business meeting.
(phone ringing)
So, um
David, if your offer
still stands,
I-I'd actually like
to take you up on that loan.
We can organize a payment plan.
Yeah, money's yours.
Just give me
a couple of days
to make it happen.
Thank you so much.
No worries.
Studying to be an architect?
That?
No, it's just some property
I'm thinking
about acquiring.
Really?
Wow.
Beverly Hills mansion.
I knew you had money, but
Oh, I'm just looking for now.
Putting my feelers out there
for some investment
opportunities.
Since when has flipping
multi-million dollar real estate
been a hobby of yours?
Since forever.
Is something wrong, David?
No.
You in trouble?
'Cause if you are,
you can tell me.
Nobody's in any trouble, Laur.
Now, uh
do you mind?
I got to get ready.
ELLA:
Okay.
So
that little paper thingy
you signed?
Yeah, that was
a contract.
You can't leave.
I didn't sign off
on being humiliated.
If this is what being a model
is about, it's not for me.
Okay, look.
Anton is on his way,
and if you're
not here,
then I get an
***-whipping,
and it turns into
a PR nightmare.
That is all you care about,
isn't it?
Furthering your career.
Hey, I meant what I said
in there, okay?
It's your choice
if you don't want to
believe in yourself.
Since when does believing
in myself require me
to abandon all self-respect?
Do you think Jonah's
self-respect
soars through the roof
every time he shoots
a Dora the Explorer-
themed birthday bash?
No! It's called
compromise, Riley.
You know what, just stop.
I don't trust you.
I have never
trusted you,
and I am not having
this conversation with you.
Well, have fun
having it with
your fiancé, then,
when you tell him
you blew it today.
I mean, really?
Giving up on ten grand
because of a
little ego bruise?
Kind of says a
lot about the way
things work at
home, doesn't it?
Hey.
You heading out?
Yeah.
That killer lunch rush.
Just hoping
my legs will hold
till I get
to the bus stop.
Well, Violet, I can take
you home if you want.
On your motorcycle?
Only if you appreciate
that a Triumph
is so much more
than a motorcycle.
Auggie, I I don't want
to take your helmet.
Are you kidding me?
You think I'd ever let
anything happen to you?
Come on.
Let's go.
KENDRA:
I loved how you played
with shadows.
Well, that whole last sequence,
that was lit
by one super-long string
of Christmas lights.
What?
Yeah.
It wasn't going
to work, I didn't think,
'cause the Santa bulbs
kept getting in the way,
but it actually
it, uh, turned out really cool.
Well, look, Jonah,
you're obviously passionate
about your vision,
and as the voice
in Andrew's ear,
I want to make sure he knows
exactly what that vision is.
Wow.
I
Thank you
so much.
I mean,
this movie
is pretty much my life.
Movies in general are my life.
Hooked the moment I saw
Chitty Chitty *** ***
at the Ritz Five.
Wait.
What?
The Ritz Five in Philly?
You've been there?
(laughing):
Kendra, that's where I'm from.
What?
I'm from Philly.
The Ritz Five is one
of my favorite
movie theaters
of all time.
Me, too.
I've had
life-altering experiences
in those
hallowed walls.
Oh, my
Taxi Driver
And Rang Bull.
The Scorsese
festival.
The best
I go every year
at Christmas.
Me, too.
I ca
This-- I can't deal
with this.
(laughing):
Like, we've probably
been standing in line
ordering popcorn
together.
I think I would have
remembered you.
Yeah, I definitely think
I would have remembered you.
You know, I'm having
drinks tonight at Katsuya
with the VP
of Paramount.
We'll probably be
done by 10:00.
You want to
join me after?
Uh, meet you
after your drinks?
To work on our pitch.
Oh.
Okay.
T-To work
on the pitch.
Sounds good, sounds--
yeah, sounds great.
I'll save you a
seat at the bar.
LAUREN:
David.
What are you doing?
You don't want
to buy this house.
My real estate agent
stood me up.
I'm actually just
on my way out.
Yeah, so what's with
the black gloves?
Lauren, this isn't
a good time.
Right.
First you get beaten up,
then the blueprints.
The bag David, what's
going on?
You're completely
overreacting.
Then show me
what's in there.
This is ridiculous.
Excuse me.
Lauren, get in the car.
We got to get out of here.
Now.
VIOLET:
Guess there's no love lost
between you and the speed limit.
I peeked back a few times
to make sure you were
still holding on.
All that adrenaline
tired me out.
How about a margarita before
we tackle the furniture?
***, obviously.
Sure, why not?
Riley.
You okay?
(sighs)
Yeah, I'm fine.
Hey, hey, what's up?
RILEY:
Nothing, I just--
I totally tanked the shoot,
and now I have to break
the news to Jonah
that that extra money we were
counting on doesn't exist.
AUGGIE:
Hey, it was
just one shoot.
Yeah, exactly, one shoot.
Do you know
how many video jobs
Jonah's had to sweat through
just so we can make rent?
Do you want to come
over for a minute?
(sighs)
I'll make some tea.
You can shed some
of that stress.
No, looks like you're in the
middle of something.
I'm okay.
No, no, it's, it's totally fine.
Come over, please.
(sighs)
Okay.
Is Riley okay?
Yeah, she's just-- she's
just had a rough day.
Um, do you mind
if I help you out tomorrow?
No, of course not.
Riley obviously needs
you more than I do.
Thanks, Violet.
Ella said
the photographer was trying
to strip away my inhibitions.
I don't know.
Sounds like she took you
for a rough ride out there.
(sighs)
I moved where she wanted,
I looked where she wanted,
I did everything she said.
I mean
(sighs)
Auggie, I even
took my shirt off.
How'd that go?
(scoffs)
How do you think?
I'm a schoolteacher
pretending to be some
sort of supermodel.
Yeah, well,
you're allowed to want
more than one thing
in life, Riley.
Jonah is going to hate me
for giving up that money.
Riley, I don't know
if you know this,
but it's kind of impossible
to hate you.
He'll understand.
(sighs)
I just had to get
out of there.
She just kept
pushing me to be this
reckless, carefree
kind of person who just throws
caution to the wind.
Uh
It's like she was trying to make
me question my choices in life.
You don't think I'm too young
to get married, do you?
I don't think I'm the
right guy to answer that.
(chuckles)
You know, um,
instead of drinks,
like, if you just want to meet
at your office another day,
my schedule is super loose.
Eh, don't worry about it.
Drinks go on the
company card.
You got to love
a studio gig.
You've seen Autumn Falls, right?
Three times.
Well, my ex-boyfriend
wrote and directed it.
Wait, Kevin Carlyle is
your ex-boyfriend?
Andrew plucked him out of
obscurity and made him huge.
Wow.
You kind of
remind me of him.
Thank you.
Um
look, I got to be honest
with you, Kendra.
I, uh, don't know
if I can come tonight.
How come?
It's just I
well, I, I kind of have
some plans already.
Ah
So, you know
All right, well, if
you happen to free up,
You know where I'll be.
Caleb, Muffin, I would hardly
call the shoot a disaster.
Look, I'm sure Jo got
some amazing shots.
Of course I'll
work it out.
I always do.
Hi, Jo.
That girl was
a waste of my time.
So Riley's no
Elle Macpherson.
Not like you did
her any favors,
constantly reminding
her of that.
With amateurs,
it's my job
to ruffle their feathers.
Without that little push,
she couldn't even get
off the ground.
Right, and you're the
professional, supposedly.
Maybe you shouldn't
have pushed her so hard.
It's what I do.
Until she's able to tap
into who she really is,
she should stick to the ABC's
instead of selling out
for a pair of jeans
and a few thousand bucks.
Selling out?
I'm sorry, weren't you
the one who traded in
the refugee camps
for a 12-page spread in Vogue?
Maybe Riley wasn't the only one
posing out there today.
Isn't this bird's nest,
like, the coolest thing ever?
Yep,
if it wasn't dive-
bombing our doorway.
So, uh
what were you doing out
here-- gauging the pH levels?
No, I was just taking a break.
I've been trying to put
some furniture together.
Hmm, right.
I would lend you
a hand with that,
but, uh, I have
a date with Riley
when she gets back
from her photo shoot.
Oh, I think
Riley's back already.
No, I'm pretty
sure she's not.
She was going to call
me on her way home.
Well, then, maybe
your phone's messed up.
She came home
about a half hour ago.
She's probably
still at Auggie's.
Sh-She went to Auggie's?
Yeah,
he was supposed to help me
assemble my furniture,
but then she came home
and she was super upset,
so he invited her over.
Wait did something
happen at the shoot?
No clue.
You know how
the two of them are--
like everything's
their little secret.
RILEY:
I should let you
get back to your life.
I promise I won't drag you
into any more
of my meltdowns.
Riley, we all have
our moments.
We wouldn't be human
if we didn't.
(knocking)
Oh, hey, buddy.
Hey.
Come on in.
I heard you had a big meeting
with a producer today.
RILEY:
How was your meeting?
Please tell me we have
a reason to celebrate.
Yeah, yeah, it went,
uh, went great.
(sighs)
That's awesome.
I am so glad you're home.
I'm starving
and in desperate need
of a champagne buzz.
Oh, I guess that means
your shoot went well?
I will tell you all about
it when we get home.
Okay.
Um
I want to borrow
a bike pump from Auggie.
Meet you back at the ranch?
I'll go dig out
those veggie burgers
that have been hiding
in the freezer.
Perfect.
Thanks for the tea,
Auggie.
Anytime.
Hey, uh, what's going on here?
What are you talking about?
I'm talking
about the hours on end
you spend behind closed doors
with my fiancée.
Jonah, Riley's shoot
didn't go as planned.
She just wanted
to talk about it.
And look who was more than happy
to throw a strong shoulder
in her direction.
You were in a meeting, she
didn't want to bother you.
Seriously,
that's all that happened.
Right.
So, you're still playing
the "we're just friends" card?
I'm not playing any card, Jonah.
We are just friends.
Really?
Because I saw security footage
of you guys sitting out
in the courtyard acting
like way more
than friendly.
You mean the day
after Sydney died?
Jonah, I was barely
holding it together.
Riley was the one person
who would talk to me.
Okay, I'm sure it was
the sound of her voice
you found so incredibly
consoling.
You're way off base.
I just want you to tell me
that you and Riley have not
crossed the line of friendship.
You know, she always jokes
that you're paranoid.
She's not really
joking, is she?
Look, Riley and I have already
talked about what happened,
okay?
I think maybe it's time
that you fess up.
She kissed me,
not the other way around.
She kissed you?
Wha--
Look, I'm talking about
She kissed you?
It's not what you think.
Jonah,
she was drunk.
She loves you.
Trust me.
So, what should we toast?
To your bright future
as a filmmaker?
Or my terribly short career
as a model?
(gulping)
Okay, you are either really
thirsty or really upset.
Why did you go to Auggie?
Jonah, you were having
the biggest meeting of your career.
I didn't want to burden you
with my modeling woes.
Right, well, you could
have texted me.
I guess it was just--
just easier to go to
Auggie's open door.
What?
This isn't about
Auggie,
it's about me,
completely blowing
it today.
Ten grand.
Gone.
I mean, I-I
showed up,
and I couldn't
follow through.
I really wanted
to do this for you, Jonah,
and I couldn't.
I let you down.
No, you didn't.
You didn't let me down.
At least not because
you ran out on some
some photo shoot.
I don't care
about the money.
You get that, right?
All I care about
is knowing that you're
telling me the truth.
Okay?
So there's nothing going on
between you two?
No.
Are you-- are you
seriously still
worried
about Auggie and me?
Nothing has ever happened
between you guys?
Jonah
your ring is on
my finger.
You are the only g
I want to be with.
You want the truth,
that's it.
Right.
(sighs)
You sound entirely convinced.
I just gotta get
some air.
Yeah, whatever y
need to do.
(sighs)
What, are you
stalking me now?
David, this is serious.
That must've been thousands
of dollars worth of diamonds.
Not really your
problem, is it?
Is it the thrill?
Do you get off on doing
this to people?
I see.
First you're my doctor,
now you're my shrink.
Hey, David,
if you think you need
to go out and take
what's not yours,
there's obviously something
missing in your life.
What would you know
about that, huh?
Oh, that's right.
Miss prim and proper.
The ambitious doctor
who's got it all
figured out.
You wouldn't have any idea
what it's like
to have to bend the rules
just to get by.
You don't think
there are times
when I feel powerless?
When I just want
to close my eyes and pretend
that I was somebody else?
You know what?
It doesn't mean I go out
and victimize people.
They're not victims.
The people that
I target--
white-collar criminals.
*** of the Earth.
Just like my father.
What does this have to do
with Dr.
Mancini?
My dad's not
the miracle worker that you
and your med school buddies
put on a pedestal, I'm sorry.
Well, you know what, David?
No father's perfect.
He never had an interest in
being my father, Laur.
You know, the idea of a-- of
trust fund is almost laughable
considering he's done
everything in his power
to forget I even exist.
Well, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry he let you down.
You didn't deserve it.
But stealing?
Come on, David,
that's not h
to get back at him.
Maybe you're right.
But it does allow
to loan money to m
friends, doesn't it?
David, do you think I want
anything to do
with your ney
now that I know
where it comes from, huh?
So, where's your moral
compass pointing to now?
Hmm?
Police?
My old man?
I'm going to do you
the biggest favor of your life.
I'm going to keep it
between us.
And in return,
you're never goi
to steal again.
(phone buzzes)
Go ahead.
Answer it.
(sighs)
Hey.
Still need a hand?
I wasn't expecting you
to show up.
Yeah, sorry I had
to bail earlier.
It's cool.
Building
this thing has actually
been kind of therapeutic.
Really? 'Cause that's exactly
what I'm looking for right now.
Are you okay?
Yeah, just my sponsor'
not answering his phone.
I'll be fine.
I just
think putting my hands to work
would
help clear my mind.
Great.
So
what are we making?
My new bed.
Your new bed.
Okay.
Let's do this.
All right.
Oh, these
Jonah?
(sighs)
(sighs)
(sighs)
(sighs)
Hey, Riley.
It's your, uh,
favorite photographer.
I couldn't
believe when I looked
your address.
I used to live
in this very building.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Right over there.
A lot of memories in this place.
A lot of them I'd rather forget.
I noticed someone still
rides a motorcycle.
Is that your fiancé's?
No.
Someone else, actually.
Oh.
Listen, I came by to tell you
that, um, you kind of hi
a nerve with me today,
when you told me to go to hell.
Look, you were just
doing your job.
I was totally ou
of my element
No, but you were right.
I told you to set
yourself free,
and maybe it's time
I take my own advice.
Does that mean you're thinki
about going back to Darfur?
Actually, I was thinking
of heading south for a bit,
to bring some media attention to
the food shortage
in Latin America.
Well, you're obvious
the right woman for the job.
You have a gift of exposin
things in your photos
that most people are afraid
to look at in real life.
It comes with a big pay cut.
Well, if it makes you
feel any better,
you kind of got through
to me, too.
Maybe I have closed myself off.
Maybe I need to be a little
more open-minded.
You know, when I was your age,
I was engaged.
After I left him,
that's when my real life
kicked in.
How did you know it was
the right thing to do?
I didn't.
Oh! I almost forgot.
Listen, don't worry about
how today ended.
Anton, he saw that last photo.
He said he's never seen such
raw emotion in his whole life.
Congratulations.
You are the new face
of Anton V.
Jeans.
You're kidding me.
Oh, my God.
(laughing)
Good luck, Riley.
(sighs)
(laughter, indistinct
conversations)
Twist!
You showed.
I was scared
missed you.
What happened to your plans?
Just decided
it was an opportunity
I couldn't pass up.
Can I buy you a drink?
Sure.
