it the Clara role?

00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,959
- Thank you.
- He was so good.
178
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,999
- Thank you.
- Are you still with that actor...
179
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,599
Uh, no, we're not
together anymore.
180
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,479
Oh, he was so good in that movie
about the pilot that saves the...
181
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,439
- I've got to take this.
- Okay.
182
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,199
Don't let the gate hit you.
183
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,760
[phone ringing]
184
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,279
Hey.
185
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,999
Great news. You got it.
186
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:58,919
Got what?
187
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,639
The lead in Hotel Reverie. I
guess they're gonna flip it.
188
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,359
- [chuckles] Yes!
- Okay, so look.
189
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,359
It's a straight offer, so they're
sending the materials to you.
190
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,639
Oh, yeah, I think
I just got those.
191
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,999
They say they're gonna need
you in the studio next Monday.
192
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,039
- That's in England.
- Wait. They start filming next Monday?
193
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,279
Uh, no, they say no.
It's some kind of test.
194
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,640
Who's playing Clara?
195
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,119
Seems confidential.
It's all laid out
196
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,440
in that info pack.
197
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,759
Pepe from Streamberry is here.
198
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,039
- Thank you.
- Wait.
199
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:26,959
Laid out where?
200
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,879
Yeah, oh, congratulations again.
Okay, look, I gotta go. Bye, bye, bye.
201
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,120
Okay, thanks.
202
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:37,599
[tense orchestral
music playing in movie]
203
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,800
[officer] Drop your weapon.
204
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:43,039
Shoot him. He's
trying to kill me.
205
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,559
Wait. I know that man.
206
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:47,079
He diagnosed my allergy.
207
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,680
Arrest the other man.
208
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,560
Non!
209
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,080
Non! Laissez-moi.
210
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,839
Mais laissez-moi.
211
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,760
[dramatic orchestral
music playing]
212
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,080
Stay with me.
213
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,600
Promise me you'll stay.
214
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,960
I'll be yours... forevermore.
215
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,159
[music ends]
216
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,360
[mysterious music playing]
217
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,160
[Brandy] I'll be
yours forevermore.
218
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:32,680
I'll be yours forevermore.
219
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,639
[woman 1] What is
up with the printer?
220
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,879
[video rewinding]
221
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,840
[man 1] I just need to
get this up and running.
222
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,359
There we go.
223
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,639
- Powering up in a few minutes.
- [woman 1] Jack.
224
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,639
[Jack] Give me
two seconds. Um...
225
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,199
- Jack.
- Yeah?
226
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,599
No liquids near the tech.
Isn't that your mantra?
227
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,600
Oh...
228
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,120
Sorry.
229
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,600
- She's late.
- Her driver said she's stuck in traffic.
230
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,319
You've only got this
stage for two more hours.
231
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,359
It's leased to some Swedes who are
shooting a loo roll commercial.
232
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,479
You said we had three hours. No?
233
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,199
I said I'd ask for three.
234
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,200
[Brandy] Hey.
235
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,200
- Hi.
- Uh... Ms. Friday.
236
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,440
Judith Keyworth.
237
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,519
Goodness, can I tell you
238
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,879
how thrilled we are
that you're doing this?
239
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,359
Oh, it's my pleasure.
240
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,279
I love old movies.
241
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,359
I'm sure.
242
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,519
[both chuckle]
243
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,480
Meet the young lady who I've
entrusted with my studio's life.
244
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,679
Uh, Kimmy. Project leader.
245
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:36,600
Um, and can I just say I've been
a fan of you since Zodiac Suite?
246
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,319
You saw Zodiac Suite?
247
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,039
I did. Off-Broadway
when I was back in NYU.
248
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,279
- Oh wow.
- [Kimmy] And I loved...
249
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,360
[Judith clears throat]
250
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:45,879
- Yes.
- Anyway.
251
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:46,999
Anyway. Yes.
252
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,799
We, uh... Let's... let's,
uh... Let's dive on in.
253
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,799
Okay.
254
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,879
So you know the
ReDream, how it works?
255
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:54,799
Re-what?
256
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,880
Uh, ReDream. The system
that we're using.
257
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:01,359
You got the info pack, right?
258
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,720
[Brandy] The info pack? I...
259
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,279
- You got the script and the movie?
- Read the script. Watched the movie.
260
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,680
There was a USB stick in there,
too, with the info pack on it.
261
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,680
You... you didn't see that?
262
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,200
Uh, no.
263
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,559
- Uh...
- [Judith] Talk me through it.
264
00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:19,400
What exactly am I looking at?
265
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:22,400
Do... You know
your lines, right?
266
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,280
Sure.
267
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,080
Come with me.
268
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,679
We're making the movie
right now, in real time,
269
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:32,919
like theater.
270
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,599
ReDream is the
system we're using.
271
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,159
It ingests a movie and all
of its surrounding material.
272
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,719
Screenplay, casting
reels, dailies, all of it.
273
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,479
It creates an entirely self-sufficient
fictive dimension in which we immerse you.
274
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,080
- Can you slow down a little bit, please?
- Yeah.
275
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,119
I bet this is very overwhelming.
276
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,160
Why don't you lie down? Lie down
and make yourself comfortable.
277
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,399
So, if you hold still, I'm just
gonna attach this mesmerizer.
278
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,719
"Mesmerizer"?
279
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,639
[Kimmy] Yeah, it's a nickname
for a synaptic fictive interface.
280
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,599
It's... whatever.
281
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,800
- I don't know what you're saying.
- Yeah.
282
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:09,439
Um, when you're in there,
everyone and everything except you
283
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,999
will be in stasis until the titles,
which should give you a minute to adjust.
284
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,200
Adjust to what?
285
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:15,959
You're a pro.
286
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,159
Just say your lines,
hit the story beats.
287
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,159
If we get too far off
arc, we'll pull you out.
288
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,480
That won't happen,
though, you know?
289
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,880
[uneasy music playing]
290
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,159
Okay.
291
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,480
Executing runtime.
292
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,040
[murmuring]
293
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,239
And... syncing realms.
294
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,320
[dreamy, ethereal music playing]
295
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,720
[music intensifies]
296
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,840
[dreamy, ethereal
music continues]
297
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:08,040
[Brandy] Oh my God.
298
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,679
[Kimmy] Okay, how we doing in there?
I'll be giving you direction. Brandy?
299
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,240
This is insane!
300
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,399
I mean, is this the
original movie set?
301
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,839
Yeah, it's a little
intense in there at first.
302
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:41,960
Oh, you think?
303
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,639
I'm in black and white! Uh...
304
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,359
Look, we've got about 90 seconds
until we roll the credits.
305
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,839
So... head for the table,
the one with the newspaper,
306
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:51,839
behind the piano.
307
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,880
- Like in the opening scene?
- [Kimmy] Exactly.
308
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,879
- There's, like, frozen people?
- [Kimmy] Yeah.
309
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,839
They'll unpause when
the titles start.
310
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,600
And when they do, just remember
that, to them, this is real.
311
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,080
They think that they're real
people living in a real world.
312
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,239
- So who are they gonna think I am?
- Alex Palmer, Doctor of Tropical Medicine.
313
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,999
Who's a middle-aged
British white guy?
314
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,119
Right, that's not
who they'll see.
315
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,559
They will see and
hear you as you are,
316
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,720
and they'll just accept
that you're Alex Palmer,
317
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,799
the character in the story.
318
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,999
Okay, so to them,
Dr. Palmer is a Black woman
319
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,039
just rolling up in 1940-whatever,
and it's just fine?
320
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,199
That's fine.
321
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,199
- It's fine?
- [chuckles]
322
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,519
Yes, that's fine.
323
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:36,520
It's fine.
324
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,280
[Kimmy] They're AIs.
They're... they're constructs.
325
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,999
They only know the parameters of
the story and the character names.
326
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,879
I know it sounds crazy. It
won't even cross their minds.
327
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,359
[uneasy] Okay.
328
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,439
[Kimmy] Just, uh,
keep the story going.
329
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,799
If you say your
lines, we're all good.
330
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:52,800
Good luck.
331
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:54,840
[sighs]
332
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,319
[chuckles]
333
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,759
Get the newspaper.
334
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:00,800
Okay.
335
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:06,920
[man 1] Arc ready.
336
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:08,839
Feedback ready.
337
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,079
Supervision ready.
338
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,399
Forecasting ready.
339
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,960
- Prep titles.
- [Jack] Prepped. Simulation running.
340
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,080
- [indistinct chattering]
- [uneasy music playing]
341
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,160
[man 1] Five, four,
three, two, one.
342
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,879
And action.
343
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,280
- [dreamy music playing]
- [woman 1] Titles rolling.
344
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,160
Exterior, hotel, night.
345
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,600
Clara, inbound.
346
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,200
[Kimmy] Yes, it's Dorothy
Chambers. Stop staring.
347
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,399
[man 1] Clara speaks
in three, two, one...
348
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,640
Excuse me.
349
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,999
Oui. What do you want?
350
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,999
May I have a seat at your table?
351
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,199
It's awfully crowded in
here. I was hoping...
352
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,880
[woman 2] I do not understand.
353
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,159
- Which seat do you wish to take?
- Keep the paper up, Brandy.
354
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,679
[Clara] Perhaps that one.
355
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,919
That one is for
mon petit Bonbon.
356
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,039
Oh.
357
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,480
Bonbon does not sit on the
ground. Do you, Bonbon?
358
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,399
Okay, Brandy. You're up.
359
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,080
[man 1] Live dialogue
in three, two...
360
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,280
Ma'am?
361
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,520
I have a spare seat.
362
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:36,959
And I can assure you, no Bonbon.
363
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,239
I couldn't impose.
364
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,479
I could use the company.
365
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,960
It's a very different
flavor than dear old Ralphy.
366
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,840
- Alex Palmer.
- Oh. Clara Ryce-Lechere.
367
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,760
Ryce-Lechere? That's
half the alphabet.
368
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,080
All in sync.
369
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,279
She's word-perfect.
370
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,839
Lechere comes courtesy of
my husband, who's French.
371
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:58,879
[man 1] Story on track.
372
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,079
Pierre Lechere?
373
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,279
[Clara] Claude. Sorry
to disappoint you.
374
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,959
Will Claude be joining us?
375
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,839
No, no. Claude has
work commitments.
376
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,719
He holds an important
role in the business.
377
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,079
- [Brandy] The business?
- Oh, my father's business, Ryce Holdings.
378
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,319
Oh my. I didn't realize
you were the Clara Ryce.
379
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,519
Oh yes, the Clara Ryce,
heir to the Ryce empire.
380
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,040
- Exposition delivered.
- [Clara] What brings you to Cairo?
381
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,079
I'm giving a talk at
the School of Medicine.
382
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,440
- [Clara] You're a surgeon?
- [Brandy] Just a doctor.
383
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,759
Albeit one who knows an absurd
amount about tropical diseases.
384
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,879
Backstory deployed.
Hitting all her beats.
385
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,959
Dreadful, yes. Accomplished,
I'm not so sure.
386
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,559
Oh, waiter. Another scotch,
please. And for yourself?
387
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,519
Thank you. A Black Rose.
388
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,719
Ah. A rose for a rose.
389
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:44,840
[chuckles]
390
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,799
- Attraction building.
- [Clara] It's a tradition for me.
391
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,399
One scotch and one Black Rose.
392
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,639
For the heiress?
393
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,799
- Murder attempt number one imminent.
- [waiter] Yes.
394
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,400
[suspenseful music playing]
395
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,479
Black Rose created. I repeat,
Black Rose has been created.
396
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,039
- [Clara] Oh dear.
- [Brandy] What's wrong?
397
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,320
Oh, nothing really.
Just the piano.
398
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,840
A piano standing silent always
makes me melancholy. Silly, I know.
399
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,279
Say a pianist walked in right
now. What would you have him play?
400
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,679
"Clair de Lune."
401
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,919
Oh, that's easy.
"Clair de Lune."
402
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,839
- My dad's favorite.
- [Brandy] Debussy?
403
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,399
[Clara] Do you know it? Oh,
it's the most wonderful piece.
404
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,239
It transports me to
the gayest of places.
405
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,520
And at the same time, it's
so sad, so full of yearning.
406
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,320
Well, Clara, if it's
"Clair de Lune" you want,
407
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,760
it's "Clair de Lune"
you shall have.
408
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,240
[note plays]
409
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,080
[dissonant piano playing]
410
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,520
What... What's she doing?
411
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,079
- Uh...
- Brandy?
412
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,079
What the hell?
413
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,399
You didn't say it
was a real piano.
414
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,319
I thought you could
play the real piano.
415
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,239
No!
416
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,839
- But you played the piano in Zodiac Suite.
- That was a backing track.
417
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:07,919
[piano stops]
418
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,279
She can't stop.
419
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,759
The piano playing sets
up the inciting incident.
420
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,239
Uh, Brandy, you gotta keep playing.
That's the point of the scene.
421
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,599
- ["Chopsticks" playing]
- My God, she's doing "Chopsticks."
422
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,599
[man 1] Narrative
integrity failing.
423
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,399
We're heading for yellow here.
424
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,359
[Judith] I take it that
means something bad.
425
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:25,639
[sighs] If that one
hits red, it collapses.
426
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:26,639
Oh, great.
427
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,239
[sighs] Mika, how
far off base are we?
428
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,519
So, in the original,
429
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,599
the beautiful music makes
Clara choke up with emotion.
430
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,119
She steps outside. Alex
follows. They talk.
431
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:38,440
It's the encounter that
sets the story rolling.
432
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:41,679
Can we hit that plot
point some other way?
433
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,119
Maybe, but we've got
an even bigger problem.
434
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:45,319
[Judith] Bigger than that?
435
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,440
The poisoned cocktail.
The Black Rose.
436
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,480
Shit. [sighs]
437
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,399
Clara's supposed to have left before
it makes it to the table, but now...
438
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,760
She's just sitting there.
439
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,720
And if she drinks it, she dies.
440
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,079
- Correct.
- And the whole thing's bollocksed.
441
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,759
[man 1] Narrative
stress is rising, guys.
442
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,799
Brandy, don't speak. I need you to follow
some instructions to get us back on track.
443
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,239
Stop playing the piano.
444
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,679
Go sit next to
Clara. Now. Go. Now.
445
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,480
[dog barking]
446
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:14,480
- [note plays]
- [dog barks]
447
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,480
- [scattered applause]
- [Kimmy] Apologize for your poor piano.
448
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,199
I'm afraid I'm a little
out of practice. [chuckles]
449
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,880
It certainly sounded that way.
450
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,840
On the bright side, you seem to have
given Madam "Doglover" a headache.
451
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:27,720
[chuckles] What a shame.
452
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,480
[waiter] One scotch.
453
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:34,279
And a Black Rose.
454
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,239
Just in time. I
could use a tipple.
455
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,239
[Kimmy] Do not let her
drink that. Improvise!
456
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,159
- [Brandy] Oh my God. Look.
- What?
457
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,159
- Uh, the big... goose.
- No.
458
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,119
- Get rid of the drink.
- [Brandy laughs]
459
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:47,279
- [Clara] But I don't see anything.
- [Brandy] Right there. See? Look.
460
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,159
- Was there really a goose?
- Yes.
461
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,639
No. There wasn't.
462
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:51,879
No, there wasn't.
463
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,360
- Mm-mm. I was kidding.
- [Clara] I see.
464
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,239
Another joke, I presume.
465
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,680
[laughs] Gotcha.
466
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,639
I don't appreciate
mockery, Dr. Palmer.
467
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,439
I had quite enough of
that in my school days.
468
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,960
- Good luck with your talk.
- [man 1] Attraction falling, guys.
469
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,280
[Kimmy] Don't let her go.
470
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:12,600
Follow her.
471
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Uh, wait!
472
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:16,640
Uh, come back!
473
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,040
Wait! I... I'm s...
474
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,360
Dorothy!
475
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:23,999
[gasps]
476
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,399
Clara! Her name is Clara.
477
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,719
Divergence rising.
478
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,200
Uh, Clara.
479
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,560
[computer beeping]
480
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,639
Why did you call me Dorothy?
481
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,000
Oh dear.
482
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,679
Uh, you remind me of someone.
483
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,840
[Clara] Someone named Dorothy?
484
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:51,240
[Brandy] Yeah.
485
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:53,920
Why do I remind you of her?
486
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,960
- They're way off script here.
- [Judith] Sh, sh!
487
00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,600
[Brandy] She was
488
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:04,440
someone who the
world looked at and
489
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,280
assumed had everything, but
490
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,120
on the inside, she was...
491
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,520
Blue.
492
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:17,880
I don't know.
493
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,360
But I think so.
494
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,720
Then it's no surprise
I remind you of her.
495
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,680
[Kimmy] Follow her
into the garden.
496
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:33,199
Sit beside her.
497
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,280
I was going to.
498
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:35,800
Going to what?
499
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,079
Oh, I was going to... to ask
if you wanna talk about it?
500
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,480
[Clara] Oh, no.
501
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,319
One should never unburden
oneself to a stranger.
502
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,639
Oh, it's no burden.
503
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,359
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
504
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:51,239
And I've given up on my
dreams of piano playing.
505
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,199
[chuckles] Well, I
think that's wise.
506
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,760
[both laugh]
507
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,400
[Clara] I would talk to my
husband about it, but honestly,
508
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,880
Claude stopped noticing my
temperament some time ago.
509
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,080
He's so consumed
by the business.
510
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,159
Papa used to joke that Claude
was marrying the company
511
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,680
rather than marrying me.
512
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,400
If that's true,
then Claude's crazy.
513
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,360
You're sweet.
514
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,520
[gentle piano music playing]
515
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,000
Romantic interest rising.
516
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,200
[Clara] This
Dorothy you mention,
517
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,160
what's true of her
is also true of me.
518
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:37,360
You know, it's silly, but sometimes a
sense of such wretchedness seizes me
519
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:41,600
as though I'm connected to some
fathomless sorrow reaching through time.
520
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,319
Perhaps I was a tragic
figure in some other life.
521
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,920
I thought you said they
weren't self-aware.
522
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:50,560
They're not.
523
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,239
The... the only reality she's
aware of is... is the story.
524
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,480
Actually, I think she might
be sensing some echoes.
525
00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:00,079
Well, our Clara AI
526
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,480
is derived from the original
performance by Dorothy Chambers. Uh...
527
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,879
And Chambers drew
on her own life.
528
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,279
She sunk as much of herself as
possible into the role of Clara.
529
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,599
There's echoes of her running
right through the data set.
530
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,000
But when she heard her name,
connected with that essence,
531
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,960
she's grown a dimension.
532
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,679
And... and it's not really
built to accommodate that.
533
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,239
Scene ending in T-minus
30 seconds, guys.
534
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,280
[Clara] This Dorothy,
what happened to her?
535
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,800
- We lost touch.
- Oh.
536
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,440
I hope she's happy somewhere.
537
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:37,440
Me too.
538
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:41,120
Look at me complaining
about my life.
539
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,199
You must think me so ungrateful.
540
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,160
Oh, no. I've been there.
541
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:48,560
- "Been there"?
- I mean, I get it.
542
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,559
Oh, you... you "get it."
543
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,280
Yeah. You know, life shit.
544
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,199
- No one says "shit" in the movie.
- Oh my God. I mean, um...
545
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,639
"Life shit"?
546
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,999
She's saying it now.
547
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,479
[laughs] I... misspoke.
548
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,920
[Clara] No, I'm not...
I'm not offended.
549
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,400
If anything, it's refreshing.
550
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,360
I've never met someone so
551
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,560
differently alive.
552
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,119
[gentle piano music playing]
553
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:16,080
Romantic likelihood increasing.
554
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:20,720
Good night, Dr. Palmer.
555
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,400
Good night.
556
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,480
[music intensifies]
557
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,160
[Mika] Forecast good.
We're back on track.
558
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,439
[man 1] Narrative
stress falling.
559
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,119
Interior. Lobby.
560
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:40,240
Continuous.
561
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,480
[Judith] Gorgeous Claude.
562
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:46,680
Darling.
563
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,960
[Clara] Claude.
564
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,079
This is the scene with Claude.
565
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,079
Brandy's not on screen for two
minutes, so you're free to talk.
566
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,040
[Clara] Me too.
I'm somewhat tired.
567
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,159
Uh, think we're good.
Brandy, thank you.
568
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,999
Um, the camera's not
on you right now,
569
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,359
so catch your breath.
570
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:05,239
[Brandy] Hey, you
guys saw that, right?
571
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,239
I mean, that was insane.
572
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,959
Are you sure she's a...
computer person or whatever?
573
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,959
Because she... she touched me.
574
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,079
- It was weird. I don't...
- Uh, mm-hmm.
575
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,679
I've just seen my wife,
who is most terribly alive.
576
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,919
You were supposed to serve
that special Black Rose.
577
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:20,959
Oh no.
578
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,399
[bartender] I did, boss,
but she never drank it.
579
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,639
[Claude] Never drank it?
580
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,080
Guys? Oi!
581
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:28,999
What is it?
582
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,000
[Mika] Bonbon's
drinking the cocktail.
583
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:32,520
[Kimmy] Oh.
584
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,359
Shit!
585
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:35,879
Just a moment, Brandy.
586
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:36,880
[woman 2] Non!
587
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:38,959
Bonbon!
588
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,800
Il est mort!
589
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,759
[man 1] Dead dog confirmed.
590
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,440
I repeat, dead dog confirmed.
591
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,079
We have a plot hole forming.
592
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,319
Can... can we plug it?
593
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,639
Okay, so Madam Roban was supposed to
steal the cocktail and drink the poison...
594
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:55,799
[grunts]
595
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,279
This poor lady is dead.
596
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,759
...which means Inspector
Lavigne gets called to the hotel
597
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,079
and asks Alex to sign
the death certificate.
598
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:02,999
[sneezes]
599
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,959
And Alex sees Inspector
Lavigne sneezing
600
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,719
and diagnoses him with
allergies to his own cologne.
601
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,999
[Mika] Which sets up the beat for the
final scene when the police burst in.
602
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,039
Lavigne recognizes Alex and
tells his men not to shoot.
603
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,439
He diagnosed my allergy.
604
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,839
- But then they won't have met before.
- So the police will just shoot her.
605
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:19,919
That's horrid.
606
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,320
Yeah, I've got it here.
607
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,480
Uh, so that's gonna
tank the whole thing.
608
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,559
So it's over, isn't it?
609
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,159
No. We... we can reset.
We can try it again.
610
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,319
From scratch?
611
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:36,479
No, we can't.
612
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:37,879
There isn't any time.
613
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,279
They've got to get in and start
building some gargantuan toilet by noon.
614
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,280
I'm sorry.
615
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,920
Jack, pull her out.
616
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,599
[beeping]
617
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,639
Okay, everybody. That's
a wrap, I'm afraid.
618
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,840
- Um, it's still going.
- Jack, just pull her out, please.
619
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,000
Uh, yeah, we may have an
operational issue in that regard.
620
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:01,879
What?
621
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,399
Uh, well, the expansion
of Clara's character
622
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,959
seems to have triggered a stack overflow,
causing the exit code to, um, misbehave.
623
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,919
"Misbehave"? As in, how?
624
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,119
The extraction routine is
non-responsive at this time.
625
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,799
- What?!
- So you can't pull her out?
626
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,919
Not until she gets to the end
credits. If she gets to the credits.
627
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,319
Well, the story's broken anyway. Why
don't you just turn the machine off?
628
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,319
No! No, no. Interrupting
the simulation
629
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,119
while her consciousness
is marooned in there
630
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,079
could cause a catastrophic
synaptic failure in the subject.
631
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,959
He's saying Brandy's consciousness
would be deleted, and she'd die.
632
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:32,999
[scoffs] What?
633
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,359
Uh, real Brandy
Friday would die?
634
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,720
Well, I mean, there's a 98%
chance of fatality, yes.
635
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,280
[Judith] Oh, marvelous.
636
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,759
Keyworth Pictures
reinventing vintage movies,
637
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,479
attracting Hollywood stars,
638
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:47,999
and killing them.
639
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,599
Hey, she's back on-screen
in T-minus 90 seconds.
640
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:51,879
Maybe we should get her...
641
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,039
What about the Lavigne plot hole?
They'll shoot Alex in the final scene.
642
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,159
[Judith] Oh Jesus.
643
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,839
That's the end. We have
90 minutes to fix this.
644
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,520
- Crystal, can we find a workaround?
- Yeah, maybe. Will I get a story credit?
645
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,800
No. We'll discuss that later.
That's fine. Uh, I'll get to work.
646
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,559
Brandy, we need to
talk for a moment.
647
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,719
Yeah, we do. I know I went
off script, but so did she.
648
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,599
I know I wasn't
supposed to say shit.
649
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,239
- But she kind of laughed.
- Brandy.
650
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:18,959
I just... I wasn't expecting it.
651
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,919
I wasn't expecting her
to feel so... so real.
652
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,199
- I feel like...
- [Kimmy] Brandy.
653
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,640
- We're gonna move on to the next scene.
- Right. Uh...
654
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,439
The next scene is, uh,
Lavigne, the cop guy.
655
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,559
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- To sign the lady's death certificate.
656
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,959
But he's sneezing. And
then I'm supposed to...
657
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,240
There's been a change of plan.
658
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:37,799
Change of plan, how?
659
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:38,800
Um...
660
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,879
Madam Roban did not drink
the cocktail. Her dog did.
661
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,600
Oh, the dog died.
662
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,399
- Wait, the old French lady's still alive?
- [Kimmy] Yes.
663
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,119
- Wait. So the cop guy scene can't happen?
- [Kimmy] We're working on it.
664
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,199
No, we gotta reset. We gotta start
over. We gotta get the story right.
665
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,600
So the thing about that
is, um... we can't.
666
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,279
Can't, how?
667
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,519
We're experiencing a slight
technical difficulty,
668
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:10,319
um, which means that we can't extract
you until the narrative arc is complete,
669
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,519
as in, the credits roll.
670
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,439
- I'm stuck here?
- Until you bring the story to a close.
671
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,439
So I have to make it to
the end of the movie?
672
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,119
Yes. You say to Clara your
final line, "Yours forevermore,"
673
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,879
credits roll, we
pull you on out.
674
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,839
- What if I can't make it that far?
- [Kimmy] Let's focus on where we are.
675
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,679
Uh, it's day two.
Clock's a-tickin'.
676
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,039
Day two? What does that...
677
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,319
[Kimmy] Clara goes sightseeing.
678
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,719
You ask to accompany her.
679
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,639
Okay, yeah. That's...
680
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,279
Scene change in ten...
681
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:37,959
New story day inbound.
682
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,799
Brandy, you're gonna feel
a time jump at any moment.
683
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,399
- Feel, how?
- [Kimmy] It might be a bit of a rug pull.
684
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,119
Time and space change instantly with
the edit. Being, like, teleported.
685
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,519
- What do you mean "teleported"?
- [Mika] New story day.
686
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,599
Interior. Hotel lobby. Morning.
687
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,439
The scene is on.
It's fully populated.
688
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,360
A lot of eyes on you. Blink
twice if you understand.
689
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,080
Clara's en route.
690
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,960
Bump into her. Make
it look natural.
691
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:08,840
- Oh! Sorry!
- Oh!
692
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,159
- Hey, Clara!
- Dr. Palmer.
693
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,279
I'm in the habit of
apologizing to you.
694
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,360
Oh, it's quite all
right. No harm done.
695
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,359
You heading out?
696
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,159
Well, I was planning on
doing some sightseeing,
697
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,359
but Claude's been
called away on business,
698
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,319
so it seems it's going to
be rather a solitary affair.
699
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,119
- [Kimmy] Invite yourself along.
- Unless you...
700
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,320
I don't suppose... you would want to
accompany me, would you, Dr. Palmer?
701
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,399
- Palmer's supposed to ask her that.
- Shit.
702
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,680
I'm sorry. It's
rather forward of me.
703
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,399
She's gaining agency.
704
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,600
What's wrong with that?
Actors love agency.
705
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,839
Yeah. I think it
adds something to it.
706
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,239
- So why did you say "shit"?
- I said, "Shit, yeah."
707
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,760
No, I'm just happy you asked.
708
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,879
So what sights are we seeing?
709
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,800
All that Cairo has to offer.
710
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,439
Um, you're gonna
experience some dissolves.
711
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,919
Uh, there's a montage coming up. It
might make you a little nauseous.
712
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,559
[feel-good music playing]
713
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,760
- So looking forward to seeing Cairo.
- I can't wait.
714
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:13,519
Hang on in there.
715
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,679
No, because then there's no
time for the... the scene
716
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,279
when, uh, Alex overhears
Claude talking to Otto.
717
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:21,280
Fuck!
718
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,520
I could do this for hours.
719
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,200
[feel-good music continues]
720
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,959
[Clara] I had the
most magical day.
721
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,159
Yeah, that was a trip.
722
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,200
You do say the funniest things.
723
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,839
I couldn't have asked for
a more agreeable companion.
724
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,159
- Me either.
- You mean "neither."
725
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,679
But I said "either."
726
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,240
Don't debate grammar.
727
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,919
Thanks for asking me along.
728
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,480
There's no need to thank me.
729
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,480
At all.
730
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:55,680
[chuckles]
731
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,120
[Kimmy] Here's where
she twists her ankle.
732
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:00,600
Oh God!
733
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,439
- Oh God.
- God. Are you okay?
734
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,079
Damn my damned heels.
735
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,199
Help her to her room.
736
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,279
I know!
737
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,919
I know you'll need help
getting to your room.
738
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:11,920
- Oh.
- Here.
739
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:13,839
Seduction scene next.
740
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,360
- [Brandy] Oh, not at all.
- [Clara moans]
741
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,639
[Clara sighs]
742
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,759
Okay, so here's where, uh,
you ask to check her leg,
743
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,400
and things get a
little... heated.
744
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,680
That was quite
the fall you took.
745
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,880
Maybe I should check
if it's swollen?
746
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,560
Um, well, go gently on me.
747
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:36,920
I'll do my best. [chuckles]
748
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,760
[gentle music playing]
749
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,600
How does this feel?
750
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,160
[Clara] Oh, that
doesn't feel bad at all.
751
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,760
- That's a good sign.
- [Clara chuckles]
752
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,880
Will I still be able
to join the Bolshoi?
753
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,680
[both chuckle]
754
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:14,519
I think so.
755
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,560
Perhaps to make certain, you
might try a little bit higher.
756
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,880
Like... here?
757
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:27,800
That's good.
758
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,440
- How about here?
- [gasps]
759
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:35,720
Is that
760
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:37,680
tender?
761
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:39,400
Ever so tender.
762
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,520
A tad fruitier
than the original.
763
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:45,680
[knocking at door]
764
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,919
Uh, that'll be the ice I
ordered for the swelling.
765
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:49,920
[Clara] Mm.
766
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,280
Second murder attempt imminent.
767
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,960
- [Clara laughs]
- I swear I just ordered the ice.
768
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,200
Well, it would be a
shame to waste it.
769
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:04,719
Are you sure?
770
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:08,399
Champagne in my room with a stranger.
I'd never survive the scandal.
771
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,719
[Brandy chuckles]
772
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:12,320
[Clara] Gosh, how
I yearn to be free.
773
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,959
[Kimmy] This is your
scorpion moment.
774
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,759
[Brandy gasps] Don't move.
775
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:18,679
[Clara] Hmm?
776
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,119
[suspenseful music playing]
777
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,040
[shrieks] Oh my
goodness! [gasps]
778
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,960
Oh, I daren't even think what might
have happened if you hadn't been here.
779
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:30,120
Oh, Alex.
780
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,560
[romantic music playing]
781
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,680
- [computer chimes]
- Romance levels peaking.
782
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,080
Uh, yeah, that...
that is peaking.
783
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,120
She wasn't like
this with Ralphy.
784
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,400
No.
785
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:05,680
[Jack] Oh shit!
786
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,919
- [man 1] Data feed down.
- We've lost picture.
787
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,999
- Time code borked.
- Live feed down.
788
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,119
No! Fuck!
789
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,879
- [Jack] I'm sorry.
- [Kimmy] The coffee, Jack. The fucking...
790
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,960
[silence]
791
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:19,840
[Clara exhales]
792
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,280
My heart is pounding
like a drum.
793
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,560
I feel as if the whole world
has somehow stopped turning.
794
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:28,840
So do I.
795
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:31,960
What is it?
796
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:33,720
Do you hear that?
797
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,200
It's silent.
798
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:39,520
So it is.
799
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,000
- [Jack] I'm sorry! I spilled my coffee.
- Brandy! Brandy, can you hear me?
800
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Brandy!
801
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,719
God damn it!
802
00:37:47,720 --> 00:37:49,679
[mysterious ethereal
music playing]
803
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,600
- Oh.
- Who is that?
804
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:56,560
It's Otto.
805
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,360
Your husband's henchman
kind of guy. Oh, wait.
806
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,919
You're not supposed to know
that. Forget I said that.
807
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,800
Claude doesn't have henchmen.
808
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,159
Why isn't he moving?
809
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,680
[Brandy] They must be resetting.
810
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:14,559
"They"?
811
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,679
- [splutters] No, no. I...
- Can you fix this?
812
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,319
- Can I have... Towel!
- I told you about the coffee, dude.
813
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,200
I don't understand.
814
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,080
Kimmy?
815
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,880
- Alex?
- Kimmy?
816
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:29,600
Alex, I...
817
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,120
[Clara] Wait.
818
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,960
[tense music playing]
819
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,520
- [Judith] What's going on?
- We've lost connection.
820
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,600
- But it's still running.
- Sure, but she is stuck in the simulation.
821
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,119
So she could die? Be honest.
822
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,120
- No.
- Maybe.
823
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,879
If you had to put
a percentage on it?
824
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,239
[splutters] Fifty-fifty?
825
00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:02,600
She said be honest!
826
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,400
[tense music continues]
827
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:08,800
[Brandy] Hello?
828
00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:10,720
Guys?
829
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:13,639
Hello?
830
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,240
Kimmy, can you hear me?
831
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,000
Guys?
832
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:24,320
Kimmy?
833
00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:26,400
- Who's Kimmy?
- [Brandy sighs]
834
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,639
[sighs] Madam Roban.
She's... she's still alive.
835
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,399
She's supposed to be dead, and
the story's all messed up now.
836
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,519
- You're... you're frightening me.
- [Brandy] Guys?
837
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,000
G-Guys?
838
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,200
Kimmy, it's not cool to
leave me hanging like this.
839
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,680
- Please tell me what's happening.
- Guys?
840
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,240
- Alex?
- I'm not fucking Alex!
841
00:39:54,720 --> 00:39:55,800
[pants]
842
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,039
I need to speak to Kimmy, okay?
843
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,120
I'd... I'd explain,
but you won't get it.
844
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,359
How do you know
what I won't get?
845
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,199
The world's broken, and
they're gonna have to reset it.
846
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,160
You... probably won't
remember any of this.
847
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,199
The movie is over. I
repeat, the movie is over!
848
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,759
- What movie?
- The...
849
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,320
Oh my God. This whole
world's a movie.
850
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,600
[scoffs] No, it's not.
851
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:26,960
Look around.
852
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,560
Yeah. It's not even in color.
853
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:31,800
I don't know what you mean.
854
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:38,400
See this banana?
855
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:40,840
Not yellow.
856
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,200
This orange?
857
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:46,319
Un-orange.
858
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,319
That's a perfectly
normal orange.
859
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,520
[Brandy sighs]
860
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:52,959
So what color is this apple?
861
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,839
The same color an
apple always is.
862
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,360
Red or green?
863
00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,639

00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,400
See? None of this is real.
865
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:04,640
You're not real.
866
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,319
I... No, I'm... I'm
as real as you are.

[Brandy scoffs]
868
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,600
Do you remember being a kid?
869
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,600
Do you have any childhood
memories at all?
870
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,199
I...
871
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,720
You mentioned your dad earlier.
872
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,480
Can you describe
what he looks like?
873
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,200
Anything about him?
874
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,600
- You can't.
- I...
875
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,520
You don't even know his face
because he's not in this movie.
876
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,239
I don't... I don't
like this game.
877
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:37,200
No, that... that's exactly it.
878
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:38,639
It's a game.
879
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,079
It's... "let's pretend."
It's a performance.
880
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,400
You're a performance!
881
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:45,280
No.
882
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:47,119
Stop it. I'm...
883
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,200
When I called you Dorothy earlier,
she wasn't someone I knew.
884
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,079
She was you.
885
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,440
The real you.
886
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:55,480
She's an actress.
887
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,360
Or... was an actress.
888
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,320
Dorothy Chambers?
889
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,159
You're a role she played.

[breathing shakily]
891
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:10,760
No.
892
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,160
No, no.
893
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:20,920
Shit.

Hey.
901
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,759
Uh, I'm sorry I yelled
at you back there.
902
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:19,400
This... whole thing's just
really hard to explain.
903
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,720
[splutters] This is all a story
904
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,160
in a computer.
905
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:27,680
Or, uh...
906
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,680
Or I... I guess think
of it like a play
907
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,480
in the brain of a machine.
908
00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:40,960
For now, the movie's stopped...
909
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:43,919
for the moment.
910
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,040
I don't know why.
911
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,320
Maybe some technical problem.
912

[gentle music playing]
913
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,320
I know I said you weren't real.
914
00:43:59,240 --> 00:44:00,920
But I'm kind of not either.
915
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,800
My name's not Alex. It's Brandy.
916
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,600
I'm like you.
917
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:13,760
I'm an actor.
918
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,400
They... they hired me to...
919
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,120
recast this whole thing.
920
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:27,960
I don't know if
921
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,160
any of this makes
any sense to you?
922
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:34,920
[chuckles]
923
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:45,800
But, um...
924
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:49,960
I'm really sorry.

00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,279
[Kimmy] Wait. So the story's on
hold, but time's still advancing?
929
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,679
Yeah, the chronographic
tempo's way out of whack.
930
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:27,759
Which means?
931
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,560
It means time in there for her is running
a lot faster than it is for us out here.
932
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,119
Faster, as in?
933
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,200
As in six, seven hours a second.
934
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,360
Does that mean we have
to pay her for more days?
935

[footsteps approaching]
936
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,639
- Clara?
- I thought you said I was Dorothy.
937
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,919
Sleeping in the lobby
makes you look like a hobo.
938
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,999
I tried the doors. None
of them have insides.
939
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,639
They're not part of the
story. Where are you going?
940
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,279
To find a way out.
941
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,160
- I'll come with you.
- [Clara] No, you won't.

breached the fringe.

- Clara?
- [man 1] Yeah.

exposed to the full data pool.

Yeah. Yeah, that's...

Oh no.

Look, I may not be real, and you
may not be who you say you are,

be a meaningless pantomime, but

if you and I are going to
be stuck here together,

then I'm not going to let you

- Okay.

Why is Clara at the piano?

[Kimmy] Resetting the
scorpion scene, yes.
1044
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:46,520
Uh, wait, Clara's here, and she
knows who I am, and we've been...
1045
00:56:47,240 --> 00:56:48,639
No, don't worry.
1046
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,999
Um, she won't remember anything
that occurred after the save point.
1047
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,160
Okay. Save state prepped.
1048
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:55,679
She won't remember?
1049
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,119
[Kimmy] No, just back to the
film like nothing happened.
1050
00:56:58,120 --> 00:56:59,480
What won't I remember?
1051
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,599
Um, you ready?
1052
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:05,199
[Jack] Reloading save
state in five. Four.
1053
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,040
- Link reestablished.
- [Jack] Three.
1054
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:09,679
Two.
1055
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:11,599
- One.
- Wait! No, no, no, no!
1056
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,599
[emotional string music playing]
1057
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,520
My heart is pounding
like a drum.
1058
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:18,319
- [Kimmy] Yes!
- [Crystal] Great.
1059
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:19,560
[Judith] Oh, thank God.
1060
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:22,760
[Clara sighs]
1061
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,360
She's got dialogue here.
1062
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:30,480
Brandy?
1063
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,120
You're supposed to
say, "As is mine."
1064
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:35,840
Brandy?
1065
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:38,320
As is mine.
1066
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,000
I feel as though the whole
world has stopped turning.
1067
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:43,520
[Kimmy] "So do I."
1068
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:45,440
The line is, "So do I."
1069
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:49,399
So do I.
1070
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:50,680
Oh my word.
1071
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,399
[Clara sighs]
1072
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,480
[pensive music playing]
1073
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:56,400
I'm a married woman.
1074
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:00,040
I mustn't behave
this way. I can't
1075
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:02,400
feel this way.
1076
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:08,520
"Feel what way?"
1077
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:11,840
Feel what way?
1078
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:15,680
Don't make me say it.
1079
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,559
Um, okay, so your
line here is...
1080
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,640
You don't have to say
anything you don't want to.
1081
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:28,160
That's not the line.
1082
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,760
- What?
- [Mika] What's going on?
1083
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:33,400
You must go.
1084
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,480
You heard her. You gotta go.
1085
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:40,879
I don't want to.
1086
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:42,719
Jesus Christ!
1087
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,119
Oh, but you must.
1088
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,320
[Kimmy] Yes, Brandy.
You really must!
1089
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:48,280
It's part of the story.
1090
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,800
I'm so sorry, Dr. Palmer.
1091
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:58,560
So am I.
1092
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:03,440
[door opens, closes]
1093
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:06,919
[Kimmy] How we doing in there?
1094
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:08,839
[ethereal music playing]
1095
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:10,040
Um, Brandy?
1096
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:11,720
You... you can talk to me.
1097
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:14,680
I'm here.
1098
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:16,279
I need you to focus.
1099
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:17,800
Can you focus?
1100
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:21,759
Look, all you need to
do is keep the arc going
1101
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,039
and say your final
line at the right time.
1102
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:25,360
Trigger the end credits.
1103
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:28,800
When the credits roll, we
can extract you. You got it?
1104
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,040
What... what if I don't say it?
1105
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:33,999
What?
1106
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,960
What happens if I don't
say the final line?
1107
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:41,040
Um, well, you'd
be stuck in there.
1108
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:42,839
For how long?
1109
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:43,799
Forever.
1110
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,880
- [uneasy music playing]
- Mm.
1111
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:51,200
And, listen, Brandy,
if that happens,
1112
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,960
your actual body out here,
1113
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:56,560
that would die.
1114
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,040
But... but my spirit,
1115
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,480
consciousness,
whatever, that would...
1116
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,080
that would stay here?
1117
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:06,960
With her?
1118
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:11,680
Brandy, what are you asking me?
1119
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:17,039
Nothing.
1120
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,480
Good. Don't lose it now.
1121
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,120
I won't. What happens next?
1122
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,359
Courtyard scene. You
head out for a smoke,
1123
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,520
overhear Otto tell Claude
about the scorpion.
1124
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:30,599
- We good?
- Sure.
1125
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,839
Uh, head out, light my
cigarette, overhear the bad guys.
1126
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:35,920
[uneasy music playing]
1127
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,480
What is going on with her?
1128
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,639
I... don't know.
1129
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,680
[Mika] Scene 63. Alex
smoking in the garden.
1130
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,759
[Claude] Well, is my
problem taken care of?
1131
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:48,800
- [Otto] No, boss.
- [Claude grunts]
1132
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,279
[Otto] The doctor
trapped it in a glass.
1133
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:53,639
Wait. What doctor?
1134
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:55,520
[Otto] The one attending to her.
1135
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,399
Earlier, she fell and
twisted her ankle.
1136
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:00,679
If only she'd snapped her neck.
1137
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:04,719
Look surprised as you overhear them.
This is fresh information to you.
1138
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,920
She dies tonight.
1139
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,199
Great. Now beat it
back to Clara's suite
1140
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,959
before the assholes start
discussing the rooftop plot.
1141
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:14,440
[Claude] Let's try plan C.
1142
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:18,679
Did you sabotage the
railing as we agreed?
1143
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,719
Loosened up nicely, boss.
1144
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:21,920
[Claude] Excellent.
1145
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,759
I'll invite her up there
to take in the view,
1146
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:27,799
then a quick shove,
1147
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,319
then my troubles are over.
1148
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,040
- [Claude laughs]
- [knocking at door]
1149
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:34,639
- Hey.
- Alex.
1150
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:38,600
- Your husband's trying to kill you.
- If this is another of your absurd japes...
1151
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:43,319
My husband may have many faults,
Dr. Palmer, but a murderer he is not.
1152
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:44,960
- [door opens]
- [Claude] Darling.
1153
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:47,519
- Who are you?
- Bran...
1154
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,359
- Alex Palmer.
- Crystal, how we doing?
1155
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,359
- Okay. I have a pitch for the third act.
- Uh-huh.
1156
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,279
So, at the end of this scene,
uh, Alex leaves the room,
1157
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:56,919
spots Otto, threatens him.
1158
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,399
So then Otto tells Alex
about the loosened railing.
1159
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,279
But Alex already knows
they'll be on the roof,
1160
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,239
so that beat's actually
sort of redundant.
1161
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:04,240
That's right.
1162
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,319
So what if, instead
of chasing Otto,
1163
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,959
Alex runs across the street
to the police station,
1164
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,639
warns them about Claude,
then she can meet Lavigne?
1165
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,519
- And diagnose his allergies there.
- Great.
1166
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:16,760
Do I get a credit?
1167
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:18,239
If it works.
1168
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:19,400
Okay. [giggles]
1169
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,479
- Will it work?
- Don't ask me. You called it "great."
1170
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:23,759
There's no time for notes.
1171
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,079
Is there anything I can help
you with, my good doctor?
1172
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:30,040
The doctor was just leaving.
I'll show you out, Dr. Palmer.
1173
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,639
- I swear that's the voice I heard.
- That's enough.
1174
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:38,719
- Please, I...
- I want you to leave this room.
1175
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:41,320
And you can leave this
damned hotel for all I care.
1176
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:43,600
I never want to see you again.
1177
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:50,240
[Claude] My darling.
1178
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,359
Okay, so this is where
you'd usually turn left.
1179
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,999
Yeah, spot Otto, give chase, get the
info about the rooftop. I've got it.
1180
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,840
No, no, no. We have a
rewrite. Uh, new pages.
1181
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:04,919
Okay.
1182
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:08,039
[Kimmy] So you have to make a right
and head to the police station.
1183
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:09,039
Across the street?
1184
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:10,839
Demand to speak to the
highest-ranking cop.
1185
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:12,679
- Uh, Lavigne.
- [Kimmy] Correct.
1186
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:15,439
All you have to do is tell him
Clara's husband is plotting something.
1187
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,199
- He won't believe you, but...
- But he'll sneeze.
1188
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:22,199
I'll diagnose his cologne allergy,
and he'll remember me for the finale.
1189
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:23,679
- Yeah, that works.
- But hurry, okay?
1190
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:25,479
Okay, it's creating a new scene.
1191
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,519
Interior. Police station. Night.
1192
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,199
[tense music playing]
1193
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,119
[Madam Roban] Just a dog?
1194
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:35,440
Bonbon was not just a dog.
1195
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:37,879
And he was murdered.
1196
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,679
[Crystal] Oh no, Madam Roban!
1197
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,319
I forgot she was still in play.
1198
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:42,479
- Oh.
- [Kimmy] Damn it!
1199
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,800
Brandy, just ignore the
French lady. Jump the line.
1200
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,519
[splutters] I need to speak to
your most senior inspector here.
1201
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:51,799
Please wait your turn.
Madam was here first.
1202
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:53,920
And I am reporting a murder.
1203
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,800
Yes, of your poor sweet dog.
1204
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:59,159
- That's right.
- That's why I'm here.
1205
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:00,119
[Madam Roban] It is?
1206
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:01,159
No, it isn't.
1207
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,720
Yes, I know the man responsible
for murdering Bonbon.
1208
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,039
- Bonbon?
- Madam's dog.
1209
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:08,119
You do?
1210
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:11,239
Yes. The most dangerous maniac.
1211
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:12,679
And who is this maniac?
1212
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,439
I'll only tell your most
senior inspector here.
1213
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,800
What's all this?
Explain yourself.
1214
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:20,359
[Lavigne sneezes, sighs]
1215
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:21,480
Four minutes.
1216
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:23,959
Brandy, just
summarize and split.
1217
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,319
This woman's dog has been
murdered by Claude Ryce-Lechere.
1218
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:28,880
He's about to kill his wife.
He's been trying for days.
1219
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,399
What are you talking about?
1220
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:32,639
[sneezes]
1221
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:34,879
Also, I'm a doctor. You're
allergic to your cologne.
1222
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:36,759
Change it, and
you'll stop sneezing.
1223
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,359
Okay, listen out
for gunshots, okay?
1224
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:40,880
And remember this face.
1225
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:42,879
[Lavigne sneezes]
1226
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,360
Final murder attempt imminent.
1227
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:47,440
[Clara sighs]
1228
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:49,920
Oh, Claude.
1229
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:51,800
Oh, it's so romantic.
1230
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,039
Is everything all right?
1231
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,440
Yes. It's just, um,
1232
01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:58,760
you've been so busy.
1233
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,319
I thought it was high time
you got what you deserve.
1234
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:04,360
Darling.
1235
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:10,319
Was that enough?
1236
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:11,600
Uh, mm...
1237
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,119
- We think so.
- You can't tell?
1238
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:15,479
Three minutes remaining.
1239
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:16,680
Just head to the roof.
1240
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,520
How confident are we?
1241
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:22,799
4.5.
1242
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:24,040
Out of...
1243
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,799
- I'll tell you later.
- [man 1] Seven minutes until end credits.
1244
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:29,359
[Claude] I chose this spot
1245
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:34,119
so you could enjoy the finest
vantage point in all of Cairo.
1246
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:35,399
You do think of everything.
1247
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:36,600
[Claude] Indeed, I have.
1248
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:38,200
Why,
1249
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:42,000
oh, look at the pretty oil
lamps of the street vendors.
1250
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:44,520
I can't make them out.
1251
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,519
Come a little closer.
Lean over the railing.
1252
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:50,120
[Clara] I... [chuckles]
It looks a bit dirty.
1253
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:51,760
[Claude] I don't know.
1254
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,119
But it... it also
looks quite unsafe.
1255
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:58,199
[Claude] Nonsense.
Lean against it.
1256
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:00,759
- I re... I really don't want to.
- I said lean!
1257
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,439
Claude, what has got into you?
1258
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:04,240
[Clara gasps]
1259
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,079
[Claude] Just do as I say.
1260
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:12,120
- No, please, no! [gasps]
- Lean over the railing. Lean!
1261
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:13,679
What?
1262
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,759
- Get away from her!
- [Claude] Not one step closer.
1263
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,239
[Brandy] The police station
is across the street.
1264
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,279
Pull that trigger,
they'll come running.
1265
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:24,120
Well, that's a chance
I'm willing to take.
1266
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:26,919
- Alex, no!
- [Claude grunting]
1267
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:28,840
[suspenseful music playing]
1268
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:35,200
- [Claude grunting] Come here.
- [gasping]
1269
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:37,719
[laughs maniacally]
1270
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,519
I knew something
was amiss with you.
1271
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:42,439
Huh? The good doctor.
1272
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:44,160
Well... [grunts]
1273
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,079
The story arc really
doesn't like this.
1274
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,359
This is the end for you both.
1275
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:51,479
- [Claude laughs maniacally]
- [Brandy grunting]
1276
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:52,560
[gunshot]
1277
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:54,960
- [gunshot]
- [dramatic music playing]
1278
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:58,719
[Claude groans] You?
1279
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:00,839
[music subsides]
1280
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:02,280
What did she do that for?
1281
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,040
- I don't...
- Claude's not meant to die.
1282
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:07,519
No, he's not.
1283
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:09,240
Police inbound.
1284
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,079
Shit, they'll arrest Clara.
1285
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:13,639
What will happen
if they do that?
1286
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:18,039
So they cuff Clara, and they
haul her away on a murder charge.
1287
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:20,599
But Alex can still say the last
line as they drag Clara away.
1288
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:24,359
- That should trigger the credits.
- So it... it becomes a tearjerker?
1289
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,439
Young love destroyed when one
of them winds up in the slammer?
1290
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:29,600
I... I don't know. It's
different, but it works.
1291
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:33,399
- A bit ahead of its time.
- It gets her out of there.
1292
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,119
- I killed him.
- [gun clatters]
1293
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:36,879
- Brandy, new ending.
- [Clara] I killed him.
1294
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,559
- The cops are coming.
- The police are coming.
1295
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:41,199
- [Kimmy] They'll arrest her.
- They'll arrest you.
1296
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,319
- Let them.
- Yes, let them.
1297
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:44,679
And then what happens?
1298
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:46,119
She goes to jail. So what?
1299
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,919
- For how long?
- [Kimmy] From her perspective, forever.
1300
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,079
But she's not fucking
real, so who cares, Brandy?
1301
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,720
I was born in a cage.
I should die in a cage.
1302
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:55,239
I...
1303
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:56,359
No!
1304
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,440
[tense string music playing]
1305
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,280
- [Brandy] Uh...
- What are you doing?
1306
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:04,879
- We tell the police I shot your husband.
- No.
1307
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:05,799
They'll arrest me.
1308
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:07,439
- No.
- Believe me. It is the best way.
1309
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:08,559
I won't let them.
1310
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:09,560
Story arc is critical.
1311
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:13,560
[breathes deeply]
1312
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:15,480
I love you.
1313
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:19,040
And I love you.

[tense music playing]
1316
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:33,840
Forgive me.
1317
01:08:35,480 --> 01:08:37,120
Clara, no!
1318
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:39,600
- What are you doing?
- Stop!
1319
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:41,600
[officer] Stop, or I shoot.
1320
01:08:42,480 --> 01:08:43,519
Drop your weapon.
1321
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:45,480
Wait. I know this person.
1322
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:47,640
He's a doctor. He...
1323
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:50,400
No!
1324
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:52,040
Oh God.

No!

[labored breathing]
1329
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:09,159
No. No.

Don't cry for me.
1333
01:09:19,440 --> 01:09:20,560
Remember me.
1334
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:27,239

[Jack] Her body's
going into shock.
1337
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,840
I can't extract till she cues
titles. She's gotta say the line.
1338
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:40,200
{\an8}Say the line, Brandy.
1339
01:09:41,480 --> 01:09:42,480
Say the line.
1340
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:45,400

Say the line, Brandy.

- We have an ending.
- Extracting.
1353
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:33,519
[Mika] Do you think
it worked? The ending?
1354
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:35,040
Did it for me. [sniffles]
1355
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:37,560

Now, with the help of ReDream
and our friends at Streamberry,
1368
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,080
we'd like to welcome you back.
1369
01:11:36,440 --> 01:11:39,599
You might notice a few
changes in the old place.
1370
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:44,639
Renowned Dr. Alex Palmer encounters
tragic heiress Clara Ryce.

01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,599
Waiter, another scotch,
please. And for yourself?
1372
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:49,400
Thank you. A Black Rose.
1373
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,080
A rose for a rose.
1374
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:58,160
A piano standing silent
always makes me so melancholy.
1375
01:11:58,680 --> 01:11:59,719
It's silly, I know.
1376
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:03,319
If it's "Clair de Lune" you want,
it's "Clair de Lune" you shall have.
1377
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,799
[narrator] Yet, even as
their affection grows,
1378
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:09,159
the pair are unaware of Clara's
fiendish husband, Claude,
1379
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:10,639
plotting her death.
1380
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:14,079
My accursed wife has more
lives than a damn cat.
1381
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:15,839
She dies tonight.
1382
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:16,759
Don't move.

So I... I just pretend it's

[man] Well, yes.
1390

I'm... I'm here waiting
for it to ring. It...
1393
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:39,999
but it's not connected, is it?
1394
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:41,840
No. [giggles]

Hi.

Who's this?

A... friend?
1402
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:14,960
Do I know you?
1403
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:19,440
Yes and no.
1404
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:21,520

Well, tell me more.
1407

How much time do you have?
1408
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,320
Since you've got a kind voice...
1409
01:14:34,480 --> 01:14:36,280
I've got all the
time in the world.
