00:00:24Parked on a deserted fire road. That's a high-powered Hollywood in this party
00:00:28Yeah, I gotta get my priorities straight
00:00:36After four years of acting classes cold readings and parking lot auditions for the new white zombie video
00:00:41All Sally Bowen had to show was a glove compartment full of studio private lines
00:00:46Three Pringles commercials and a four-line guest spot on Baywatch a resume that comes in handy for current employment at the agency

00:41:13Every one of them
00:41:14Want some goods on this kid? Well, you got him
00:41:17Thanks, thank you Joelle that'll speed up the claim considerably
00:41:24Finally found someone shaggy over at that doctor's office that Heather visited last. It's okay CC. We have enough
00:41:30The girl is three months pregnant Stan
00:41:32This is the second time Eddie Lopez has violated his restraining order. We have assault possession weapons charges
00:41:39We can put him away for 15 years. Yeah, but if he's willing to give us Carlos Ramon Vargas
00:41:45Hey, call me Monty Hall. Let's make a deal. He threatened to kill his wife next time John
00:41:50Take him off. Well, he's opposed to Vargas. Who's the big guy?
00:41:53He's the big guy. He's the big guy. He's the big guy. He's the big guy
00:41:57He threatened to kill his wife next time John take him off
00:42:00Well, he's opposed to Vargas who's the biggest supplier of heroin in East LA. Come on Stan
00:42:08You're on the fast track to a d3 promotion stand
00:42:12Now if you want to start with all this
00:42:14Unnecessary controversy over this with the DA go ahead, but the press is gonna tear you apart. I don't need to tell you this
00:42:21Look I'll tell you what, I'll put a patrol car over there. So often they'll think it's a gosh-damned Donut stand
00:42:29But you do what you think is right Stan
00:42:51We
00:42:54Never should have taken this one Stan. I mean Barry bliss
00:42:58Lawrence Brent
00:43:00You think scum like that cares what wreckage they leave behind?
00:43:03I mean when the dust clears on this who do you think is gonna get stuck with the tab?
00:43:08You just like you paid for Maria Lopez
00:43:14One thing's got nothing to do with the other nothing to do with the other it has been dogging you ever since you took this
00:43:20Sang don't lose sight of who you are Stan
00:43:24Is this the guy that was so far upriver four years ago that they had to hire me to track you down
00:43:30I know who I am Jack
00:43:33Well, you're paying the rent. It's your outfit. I'm just here to something else comes along. Well, that's perfect Jack

00:44:23You've got to neutralize her now before the press gets a hold of this and has a field day
00:44:28He didn't tell me she was pregnant bliss
00:44:34Was on a need-to-know lawyer-client basis what difference does it make
00:44:39If you have to ask I couldn't begin to explain it to you
00:44:41Count me out bliss. I can't do this. You have to oh, yeah
00:44:47Why is that because if you don't I'll be forced to find someone who will
00:44:53Someone who might not handle her with your sense of decency
00:44:59See that PI
00:45:01Nick Battaglia, is he still all done on La Brea? You're gonna set Battaglia loose on a girl like that

00:47:34Someone you don't want to deal with
00:47:37These are very powerful people Heather
00:47:39They can be mean
00:47:41Beyond your worst dream
00:47:46It's not right you tell them it's not right
00:47:50What can they do to me
00:47:53They could find out about the forged prescriptions for starters
00:47:58the percocets
00:48:02If I could they could
00:48:06Couldn't sleep
00:48:09It's a class 3 felony Heather they could put you in jail
00:48:15They could take away your baby no
00:48:19No, please don't say that
00:48:23It's not right to just use people have your fun with them and then just throw them away
00:48:53I
00:49:23I
00:49:40Yeah, this is Dan Navarro tell bliss situation has been neutralized
00:49:46You
00:49:50You're on the fast track Stan do what you think is right
00:49:56Drops all charge against the defendant Eddie Lopez court is adjourned
00:50:09What
00:50:16Mean it's over right it's over when I say it's over
00:50:23You'd have an envelope Zoe I
00:50:28Just spent over one hour going through that bartender's pad
00:50:32What a dildo this guy's got a fridge full of steroids and a John Cloud Van Damme poster on his bedroom wall
00:50:39This is your confidential. That's great Mike now. Did you happen to find anything that we'd be interested in you mean in his apartment?
00:50:45Yeah
00:50:46no, but I
00:50:49Did find these outside in this garbage can?
00:50:53I
00:51:13Wanted so many times to write you a letter, but don't know where in the world I should send it
00:51:19Mother died three years ago. I
00:51:23Don't have anyone else to tell how my life is turning out
00:51:26So I thought well if I write this all down that maybe somehow
00:51:31Wherever you are, you would know that I'm okay. I arrived in Los Angeles three weeks ago
00:51:38It's only a 10-hour bus ride from Eden, but it seems like another world. I
00:51:43Don't know a soul, but I have to believe that if you work hard and keep a positive attitude
00:51:49Good things will happen to you
00:51:51Already, I've been on two commercial castings and three auditions and met a wonderful man. Who's a famous movie director
00:51:59We talked for nearly an hour at first meeting
00:52:02He even took me out to lunch the next day and told me he thinks I'm special and have a very bright future ahead of me
00:52:13Didn't have fish one chicken, so I got you sweet
00:52:20What is that
00:52:23Her diary she tossed in the trash a couple hours ago
00:52:29Why would a young girl throw out her diary
00:52:32Oh
00:52:42She's just sitting there
00:52:48If the situation has been resolved why does Stan want the surveillance to continue
00:52:52Just to be on the safe side. I guess make sure she doesn't change her mind or something
00:52:58But this looks great Teresa. Thanks
00:53:02Is
00:53:07It okay files into the audio tapes, there's nothing there you won't listen to
00:53:26Seems to me we might have enough to go to the cops with I mean those masks are pretty damn conclusive
00:53:31Yeah, I'm pretty damn inadmissible to Mooney found him in the guy's garbage inside the building not curbside
00:53:37What is this a debate on search and seizure and the Constitution forget the law?
00:53:42Stan I say we just go over there and break his legs
00:53:49What time does this guy rabbit work
00:53:51Nine o'clock
00:53:59Could I speak to you for a second? Yeah
00:54:06Unbelievable
00:54:09You've got a legitimate reputation
00:54:1111 people on the payroll not to mention a family
00:54:14What's gonna happen if you get popped for some nickel-and-dime assault charge and lose your license after a day like today?
00:54:19I really don't give a damn. You just think about what I'm saying. I like confidential
00:54:26Yeah, hold on
00:54:32Very bliss is on three tell him I'm busy. Um, he's busy at the moment. Can I take a message? Sorry?

00:54:46Thanks to him it's gonna be a very special and successful evening and I owe him big okay, I'll give him the message
00:54:54You got until tomorrow to come up with a better idea
00:54:58Okay
00:55:16You
00:55:33Sorry, it took so long it is it's been kind of kinetic around here lately
00:55:40I
00:55:42Those are those LAPD personnel records on Teresa Duran like breaking into the Vatican
00:55:50Thanks V
00:55:58I'm sure there'd be no problem getting a good table at Morton's tonight, Pam

00:58:01It's interesting group of people you work with
00:58:07Yeah, well like the dirty dozen of the PI said and Stan
00:58:13He's like a CEO

01:13:15I
01:13:32Effective buddy boy, but crude totally lacking in precaution
01:13:38Particularly for a guy who doesn't like to get involved
01:13:41You ought to be less worried about Stan's license and more about your own
01:13:46Grab a drink or two. I can't tonight
01:13:50You just love to gather this line of work. You hate this business. Don't you Jake? Oh, I can think of worse
01:13:57Toxic waste management
01:14:00You know, it's a shame because you're damn good at it
01:14:02Matter of fact, one of the best investor gays I've ever seen
01:14:06You know why Jack?
01:14:08Why Mike?
01:14:09Because you have a personal working knowledge of how truly sick people really are
01:14:16Thank you
01:14:23Besides for guys like us, what else is there?
01:14:45I
01:14:47I
01:14:49I
01:15:12The consummation to the inward sense of beauty apprehended from without I still call
01:15:20I
01:15:22Work real hard
01:15:24I can get my high school equivalency in a year and make enough money with my dancing to enter college next fall
01:15:30Lawrence told me he has connections
01:15:36I'll get a degree in education so I can work with children ones that don't have a family or anything
01:15:50I
01:16:01Someday I'm going to have a child of my own
01:16:03I
01:16:16Am afraid but that's just because I have such high hopes
01:16:33ICU for
01:17:03One more
01:17:33I
01:17:46Mr. Navarro, mr. Navarro, are you okay?
01:17:56What is it it's Heather Norland
01:18:04We almost lost her there a couple times she's gonna be okay
01:18:24My work has helped improve
01:18:27the depiction of women in motion pictures
01:18:29I consider it a small repayment indeed to all the women who've helped
01:18:36Nurtured
01:18:39Inspired me
01:18:48I just heard she's okay
01:18:51Is there anything I can do? Yeah be there when she wakes up. Okay, give her this
01:18:56So she'll be able to fill in the second half
01:18:59I promise her that
01:19:04Or some of you may want to become a writer because you're looking for a calling that elicits a higher degree of passion than your
01:19:09present one
01:19:10If that's the case and be forewarned
01:19:13For as Faulkner put it if a writer has to rob his mother. He will not hesitate
01:19:19The ode to a Grecian urn is worthy of many an old lady
01:19:24Or maybe and most importantly
01:19:27You may quite simply want to know yourself
01:19:30A daunting prospect that
01:19:35To enter one's own self it is necessary to go on to the teeth who said that
01:19:43You're an hour and 40 minutes late for to our class, mr. Hanson, I'm sorry and it was Paul Valerie
01:19:51And
01:19:56While we're on the subject of learning more about ourselves for those of you that missed the first class last week
01:20:01I asked everyone to start a daily journal describing your day-to-day activities your job
01:20:06co-workers friends
01:20:08Family thoughts dreams things that are important to you
01:20:11And I don't want to know what you had for breakfast unless you were due to be executed that morning
01:20:16Toward the end of each class I will call on someone to read
01:20:21and
01:20:22Tonight, I think I'll start with
01:20:25You mr. Hanson
01:20:31I'm not really prepared. The law shall be the first a timid one
01:20:39No, I mean I didn't start it yet there's nothing for me to read well I can fix that
01:20:44Let this be a lesson to you all there's no easy way out. I don't care how many pitbulls at your homework
01:20:52Take a pic I
01:20:56Can't think of a better way to start learning about language and self-expression and with poetry
01:21:05You find anything
01:21:11Please
01:21:14Turning and turning in the widening gyre
01:21:21The Falcon cannot hear the Falconer
01:21:26Things fall apart the center cannot hold
01:21:31Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world
01:21:34The blood-dimmed tide is loosed and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned

01:23:39Hey bliss I
01:23:46Won't be needing this
01:24:01The best lack all conviction
01:24:06While the worst are full of passionate intensity
01:24:18Surely some revelation is at hand surely the second coming
01:24:31The
01:24:38Second coming hardly are those words out when a vast image out of spiritus Mundi troubles my sight
01:24:47Somewhere in sands of the desert a shape with lion body in the head of a man a
01:24:54Gaze blank and pitiless as the Sun is moving its slow thighs
01:25:01While all about it real shadows of the indignant desert birds
01:25:19The darkness drops
01:25:21again
01:25:22But now I know
01:25:24The 20 centuries of stony sleep were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle
01:25:36And
01:25:37What rough beast it's our come round at last?
01:25:42slouches towards Bethlehem to be born
01:25:54You
