"NARRATOR:" "In New York City's war on crime, the worst criminal offenders are pursued by the detectives of the Major Case Squad." "These are their stories." "(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)" "Hi." "So, it's me, Willow." "Again." "A lot of you commented on the fight that Holden and I had in yesterday's video." "(WHISPERS) It wasn't really a fight." "Granted, a few of the things he said did hurt me, like when he said just once he wished" "I'd read something other than catalogs." "Like that's not reading." "It's not." "Okay, so Holden is still reading his way through that box of hardboiled detective novels he bought on Canal Street." "Lurid covers and insect stains" "I think he needs to be distracted." "(VOLUME INCREASES)" "Is it working?" "Are you ready?" "Are you ready?" "Here we go." "(LAUGHING)" "So, here's what I want to know." "Why don't we go anywhere anymore?" "It's so lame." "I don't care... (SCREAMING)" "Cut!" "What the hell was that?" "We may have just witnessed the first cyber kidnapping." "WeepingWillow17?" "Never heard of her." "She's been posting her vlog on YouLenz for months." "My nephew's crazy about her." "Her vlog?" "Like blog with a It's a video diary." "She's getting up to half a million hits a day." "I mean, is this just some huge marketing ploy?" "Or is she a runaway with a webcam?" "I vote web hoax." "We all heard her yell cut." "Yeah, so did the guys with hoods, but they didn't stop." "Since this vlog posted two hours ago, over 3,000 calls have come into NYPD." "From as far away as Perth." "In cyberspace, everyone hears you scream." "These callers think they witnessed a brutal crime." "If they're right, we need to find the victim." "And if it is a hoax?" "We need to expose it." "Well, cyber or not, if this kidnapping is real, their next step would be a ransom note." "Let's start by tracing the server they used to upload the videos." "I tried that, but it was routed through special proxies, a Tor server." "In English, Ira." "It's a way of posting anonymously online." "Why would a teenage vlogger hide her server?" "IRA:" "Exactly." "When you look at her sophisticated editing, her high-end webcam, she isn't who she said she is." "Excuse me." "Can you just blow up this view out the window here?" "Sure." "There you go." "Those buildings in the background, one has red brick, the other has yellow brick." "That's got to be Clinton Village on First Avenue." "Go." "If this is real, the first 24 hours are ticking away." "If this is real." "WOMAN:" "Sorry." "Thanks for your time." "Okay, man, I appreciate that." "That's the third guard who recognized her photo, but from the web, not from here." "Well, property management said all tenants have been issued photo ID cards." "The only problem is, there could be a thousand illegal roommates and sublets in here." "Yeah." "They don't sign leases." "WHEELER:" "There are 7,000 units." "No way we could go door to door here." "How about store-to-store?" "BOB:" "You say a high speed?" "Well, how high is high?" "5200?" "No, bigger, faster." "And the webcam?" "Integrated." "1.3 megapixel." "Wow." "Yeah, we just got those in, in September." "You remember selling one to her?" "Willow?" "That kidnapping was staged, right?" "I mean you could hear her say cut at the end." "We don't know." "Was she in the store?" "I wish." "How about him?" "Holden." "Yeah." "Early fall." "I never really pay attention to him in her videos." "Did he maybe pay by a credit card or check?" "Cash." "Small bills." "Uh, I remember we got into a fight." "He wanted a student discount, but his school ID was expired." "What school, Bob?" "The New York Film Academy." "Thank you, Bob." "Bye." "MAN:" "But that's not editing, Miles." "That's just death by a thousand cuts." "That's just visual masturbation." "Thank you." "You'll get it." "This generation, it's all width." "No depth, no theme, no narrative." "You know, it's like your Weeping Willow videos." "Amateur hour." "The lighting, the editing and don't even get me started on the so-called story arc." "Look, we're really only interested in whether or not you recognize this kid who calls himself Holden." "Oh, I can assure you no student of mine is involved in WeepingWillow17." "Even the title is derivative." "Do you recognize this young man?" "Well, he's certainly not a current student." "Well, does that mean he's a former student?" "Just for a semester." "You know he dropped out a year and a half ago." "James Cameron wannabe." "A sliver of raw talent, but, of course, he was too arrogant to think he needed to learn anything." "Does he have a name?" "Foster." "D.H. Foster." "Uh-huh." "How about a current address?" "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "Look, I'm not just a teacher." "I'm a filmmaker." "I don't have time to look up where everybody lives." "I don't know." "Then I guess you wouldn't know where he was from." "Well, he was from some place way out in the boondocks." "I don't know." "Elmira, New York or something like that." "Elmira?" "Yeah, Elmira." "Do me a favor, Professor." "Don't tell anyone about this for now, okay?" "Don't worry." "All this publicity, the guy doesn't deserve it." "We have to go." "Hey, was I right?" "Ransom note?" "Yes and no." "Read." "Loud." "Okay, listen up, people." ""I'm Willow." "I'm here with Holden." ""We have not been harmed."" ""Please, please, all of our fans," ""Download some of our archive videos." ""They're available for a $1.99."" "If they're going to be able to get out of here and make more videos, we're going to need 100,000 downloads within the next 48 hours." "Otherwise, they're going to be locked up for good." "Bang!" "(LAUGHING)" "Kidnap the victims, wait a few hours, then demand a ransom." "Same game, different playing field." "Yeah." "Except this time, they're asking strangers for the ransom money." "They didn't call it ransom." "They called it download fees." "A buck ninety-nine from a 100,000 different people, these little jerks just might get it." "She did look terrified." "Yeah, and in earlier videos, she would flirt and be petulant." "I mean, she's acting." "You think it's real?" "I don't know." "Give me a body with the some blood on it at a crime scene and I'm a happy camper." "Cyber crime scene, I don't know what to make of this." "WHEELER:" "Check the DigiPay website." "Someone must have registered something with them." "The DigiPay people are taking the position that this is a right to privacy issue and a First Amendment issue." "Oh, please." "What a bunch of jerks." "Listen, the DA's office won't go to bat until we can establish proof that real people are missing or that a crime has been committed." "Any leads on this D.H. Foster kid?" "He dropped out of film school a year and a half ago." "No emergency contact numbers, but the film school said that they have an Elmira High School transcript from 2004." "Find out if anyone up there remembers him or her." "In the meantime, I'll meet the press." "(ALL CLAMORING)" "They have not been positively identified." "We're asking the public for assistance." "We have a tip line set up for anyone who can identify these two young people." "What about shutting down the DigiPay account?" "We are in discussions with them." "Is this all just an elaborate hoax?" "We can't be certain." "Our priority is to make sure no innocent lives are harmed and that the public is not duped." "Please do not allow these cyber-thugs to hold you hostage by sending them your hard-earned money." "But if it's not a hoax, then you've just encouraged the public to ignore the ransom demand." "Willow and Holden could be killed." "Look, we're committed to a peaceful end to this situation where nobody gets hurt, including the public." "Thank you very much for coming out today." "(ALL CLAMORING)" "D.H. Foster." "Oh, now I remember him." "He transferred in his senior year." "I think his family was military." "He became that mysterious boy from far away." "The one all the girls had a crush on." "LOGAN:" "And the one the boys hated." "What about Willow?" "I checked with admissions and we don't have a match for her name, but the face..." "There was a girl who registered in 2004." "Very shy." "She didn't last two weeks." "Different hair and thick glasses, but could be her." "She dropped out?" "Mmm." "She'd been home-schooled all her life." "I think she was a little overwhelmed." "Well, we'd love to get in touch with her." "Any ideas?" "I bet she went back to the family farm and never set foot outside it again." "Please, somebody help us." "Listen, Holden, he tried to escape and they caught him." "Oh, please, just do what they want." "They're beating him." "(HOLDEN YELLING)" "Please just go to the site and download those videos." "I know some of you think I'm a fake, but I'm a real person." "Please, please listen to me." "My name is Lisa Willow Tyler." "I'm from Elmira, New York." "If someone could tell my mom." "Please!" "WOMAN:" "We are live from the Tyler Farm in Elmira, New York, asking the question everyone wants answered." "Is it real or is it fake?" "It's been 24 hours since tape of her supposed kidnap hit the web." "And since then, thousands of her Internet fans have responded to her alleged kidnapper's ransom demands." "Please, just do what they want." "They're beating him." "Oh, my God." "Lisa?" "In a movie?" "It looks like her, but it can't be." "You don't think anything's happened to her, do you?" "We don't know." "When was the last time you spoke to her?" "She called about a month ago." "Forgive me for asking this." "Is Lisa your daughter or your granddaughter?" "No, she's ours." "We called her our miracle baby." "So, I guess she doesn't check in too often?" "Well, she's in Africa." "She doesn't have regular access to a phone." "In Africa?" "She's spending a year in Cameroon, through the World Health's Care Foundation helping to build schools." "Oh." "You get many postcards from Africa?" "No." "But she did send this." "It's a traditional Cameroon musical instrument." "I'm sorry, but this is an Australian instrument." "There's a kangaroo design burnt right into it." "I don't understand." "Mr. and Mrs. Tyler, your daughter has been lying to you." "LOGAN:" "Excuse me." "Do you remember how she sent you this instrument?" "A childhood friend of hers brought it to us." "Suzie Waller." "SUZIE:" "Of course Lisa made up that story about Africa." "If her parents knew she was in New York with Holden, they'd freak." "They didn't even let her listen to rock music, no cable TV." "Her mom sewed her dresses." "No boyfriends." "That's a lonely life." "She used to meet Holden at my house." "She do that a lot?" "Sneak around?" "Make up stories?" "Just white lies." "She's a good girl." "And Holden?" "Kind of a bad boy?" "He could talk, I'll give him that." "Uh, could you, just for a sec?" "Oh." "Thanks." "WHEELER:" "You've seen her video logs?" "I have a full-time job, a part-time job and an eight-month old son." "I don't really have a lot of time for surfing the net." "She made up a trip to Africa." "You don't think she could have made up this kidnapping?" "Lisa and I used to daydream about becoming famous, getting out of here, you know?" "I guess she is famous now, kind of." "We've only spoken a few times since she's been in the city." "We're both so busy." "Thank you." "Do you know where she's living now?" "Only that she found the place on Craigslist." "A furnished sublet, perfect love nest for young couple." ""Perfect love nest for young couple?"" "Those were the exact words?" "Yeah." "She liked thinking of her and Holden as a young couple." "I got to get him to my mom's." "I'm going to be late for my shift at the diner." "Can you let yourselves out?" "Sure." "Sure." "If I was Lisa," "I'd run away, too." "This girl grew up in the middle of nowhere with two people old enough to be her grandparents." "She was sheltered to the point of being smothered." "WeepingWillow was her way of busting out of that world." "She can't find a better way to make a splash than to stage a kidnapping?" "Hey, a witness just came forward." "Do not send your money to WeepingWillow17." "She's a scam artist, a faker." "Willow and Holden are thieves." "I scripted a cyber kidnapping video drama right here, two years ago at the New York Film Academy." "Holden was a classmate of mine." "He blatantly ripped me off." "I want the whole world to know the truth." "This guy's foaming at the mouth." "Ira, track this guy down." "We need to see what he can tell us about Holden's whereabouts." "This will help." "I've got a hit on the Craigslist add." "For the love nest?" "I dipped into a cache of old postings from last spring and here it is." ""Furnished sublet, perfect love nest for young couple."" "Detective Logan was right on." "It's in Clinton Village." "You should be happy." "You may finally have a crime scene." "I can't wait." "I bet when we get there, they'll be watching TV and laughing at us." "LOGAN:" "Doesn't look like they expected to be gone for very long." "So Willow filmed the videos here." "The laptop must have been there." "These glasses," "Holden wore them in the video logs." "Let's get back to this blood, huh?" "There's a lot of it and they got footprints going right out into the hallway." "These guys must watch a lot of forensic TV." "Very elaborate staging." "Is it?" "Wheeler, you've been skeptical from the get, now you think this is real?" "This was Willow's love nest." "I don't think she'd want it trashed that way." "There were security cameras in the elevator." "Okay, out of context, this looks real." "In context, they knew they were being videotaped so they stay in character until they get out the door." "Wheeler said the door looked like it had been knocked in." "In that building, all the doors look like they've been knocked in." "The blood at the scene was human." "Type Jo.." "And CSU found broken fingernails and what looks like Willow's hair torn from the root." "No contact from the kidnappers since yesterday." "If this is real, that's not a good sign." "Well, if it is real, shouldn't our next move be to contact them?" "We gave a press conference." "No response." "Maybe that was the wrong medium." "They might want to negotiate on their own turf." "Right." "So, which one of you two wants to go on camera?" "Wheeler." "Not me." "No." "Wheeler, your face now represents the entire NYPD." "(WHISPERS) Do what you can." "Okay, Wheeler, uh..." "Action." "This is Detective Megan Wheeler of the NYPD." "I'm posting a message to the individuals responsible for the Willow, Holden kidnapping videos here on YouLenz." "The Major Case Squad has devoted valuable resources to this case, in the belief that it may be an actual hostage situation." "If this is the case," "I appeal to the kidnappers to contact us so that we can negotiate a peaceful end to the situation." "Nobody needs to get hurt." "If this is an elaborate hoax, it's gone too far." "Bob, this is Detective Megan Wheeler returning your call." "Please call me back when you get the message." "Thank you." "Welcome to your 15 minutes." "Five thousand hits on your vlog already." "Terrific." "Hey, kidnappers just posted their response." "I appeal..." "I appeal..." "I appeal..." "I appeal..." "I appeal to the kidnappers, I appeal to the kidnappers to contact..." "I appeal to the kidnappers to contact us..." "To contact us..." "Nobody needs to get hurt..." "Get hurt..." "Get hurt..." "Get..." "Get..." "Get..." "Get hurt." "I know some of you online are still saying this is fake, but it's real." "I'm telling you, this is actually happening to us." "MAN:" "You are not showing us respect." "Twenty-two thousand, one hundred and fifty-eight hits is not enough to keep Willow and Holden alive." "After that, bang, bang." "Weep for Willow." "And Detective Megan Wheeler, if you still don't believe us..." "Oh, my God." "HOLDEN:" "Believe them!" "Please believe them!" "(YELLING)" "(SCREAMING)" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "HOLDEN:" "Oh, my God!" "They cut off my ear!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "I'm telling you, the whole story is staged." "He stole the whole damn thing from me." "It's all in my script." "Do you always carry this thing around with you?" "Just read it." "The two kidnappers, the boyfriend, the girlfriend, the Internet ransom." "Every good kidnapping story has a ransom and a romantic couple." "There's nothing original about that." "Okay, more proof it's a scam, the title." "Weeping Willow." "I liked it." "He stole that, too." "Mine was Rescuing Rita." "Same thing." "His is WeepingWillow17." "He registered that name three months ago." "What more proof do you need?" "So, you were in film school with Holden?" "Were you two friends?" "(SCOFFS) Friends?" "He worked for me." "He was a gaffer on my film, freshman year." "You have the thing about the severed ear in here?" "No." "So, he did have some ideas of his own." "More like he ripped off Tarantino." "That was before her time." "You know what?" "That ear thing, totally bogus." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "It seemed very convincing to me." "Do you know how easy that is to fake?" "We're about to find out." "We received an ear in the morning mail with a note for you, Wheeler." "That makes me feel great." "You were expecting flowers?" "Can you tell if it comes from someone who's alive?" "It's not from a cadaver." "Yet." "It's a healthy male ear, maybe someone in their 20s." "What else can you tell us?" "Same blood as the blood you found at their apartment." "WHEELER:" "Blood loss?" "Would be significant." "Enough to kill him?" "Not if pressure was applied." "Logan." "Huh?" "All right, if the ear is real, it doesn't mean the kidnapping is." "It's a desperate move for a hoax." "These days, that's the way it is." "People do anything to be famous." "Or rich." "Two hundred thousand downloads so far, almost half a million dollars in four days." "Detectives, good news." "Holden tried to cover it up but I think I've picked up his cyber trail." "Lead the way." "(SCREAMING)" "It turns out Holden secretly registered WeepingWillow17 as a domain name months ago." "Uh, same account." "He also opened a virtual production office online for scripts, casting." "Thirty wannabes responded to the posting for thuggy kidnappers." "I printed out the headshots." "All right, so, let's watch the video." "See if we recognize anyone." "Maybe from their build." "LOGAN:" "Freeze that." "That guy, his arm." "Some kind of a tattoo?" "Looks like a snake." "Yeah, this looks like the same tat." "Reggie Luckman." "But it's not a snake." "LOGAN:" "What is it?" "It's a ribbon of film." "LOGAN:" "Gotcha." "He used to live here." "No more." "That's not what Reggie's parole officer told us." "Yeah, well, you know parole." "They like to have an address." "It shows stability." "LOGAN:" "Oh, they sure do." "Well, this is definitely a man's shirt." "When was the last time you saw him?" "I don't know." "Do we really have to go through this drill?" "The one where I search this place and find some drugs or I plant them and either way you come downtown, you get back in the system and that's all for a schmuck who left you." "Did you two have a fight?" "No!" "Did Reggie do something wrong?" "WHEELER:" "We just want to talk to him." "He's not hurt, is he?" "You guys broke up, but you still want to protect him?" "I didn't say we broke up." "He left." "He said he had a job." "Did he mention where?" "He's an actor, you know?" "He said he had an acting gig." "That was four days ago." "He hasn't been home since." "You don't think he's on a film shoot?" "I'm not stupid." "The gun I wasn't supposed to know about, he took that with him." "Well, it looks like Reggie's a small town felon who brought his own gun to the set." "And hacked off Holden's ear." "New theory, hoax gone bad." "This kid Holden has lost control of the set." "(GROANING)" "(WHISPERING) Okay, things have gotten out of hand." "It's, like, so out of control." "This isn't my story anymore." "I'm afraid these guys really want to kill us." "Willow and I, we need help." "We're in the basement of 735 west, 113 street." "What the hell are you doing?" "We need the police to come get us!" "Come quickly before someone gets hurt!" "735 west 113!" "(SCREAMING)" "(SCREAMING)" "Get us out of here!" "Come on, man!" "We can work this out." "(SCREAMING)" "Holden!" "Willow." "Holden." "(SIRENS WAILING)" "Ouch!" "Ow!" "Okay, so that's real." "(SIGHS)" "And, uh, that's real." "Why don't you tell us what's not?" "I told you, everything else." "Willow and I were filming a vlog when these two psychos burst into our apartment." "Is this the other guy?" "Yeah, that's him." "Nice work." "Awkward, though." "Because we found Reggie's headshot on your VPO." "Okay, I left that out." "I thought it would confuse your understanding of the storyline." "Anyway, none of that matters." "You want to tell that to the guy you shot dead?" "I didn't shoot him." "We saw the video." "Oh, I mean, I shot him, but that was fake." "I had a prop gun and he was wearing a squib." "It's like a fake blood bag." "(SIGHS)" "Reggie shot Todd afterwards, for real, when the webcam was off." "They got in a fight about the money." "Okay." "Start from the top." "(EXHALES)" "Okay, I hired Reggie." "We were making a serialized vlog about the kidnapping." "But the guy turned out to be a real psycho." "I mean, when he cut my ear off, afterwards he was just smiling, like he'd done a really good take." "Why didn't you end the shoot?" "I tried." "He was obsessed." "When the cameras shut off, he pulls his own gun out and says nobody leaves." "Okay, so now you're saying that he held you hostage." "Did he make any demands?" "Pages." "More lines, more action." "It was supposed to end with me tricking the bad guys, overpowering them and rescuing Willow." "And he wanted a different ending." "Something more believable?" "Whatever." "That is when I wrote this last scene, where I've broken free and I'm asking the viewers to call the cops." "You know, Todd bursts in, we struggle, gun goes off." "Reggie comes in, shoots me, takes Willow." "Yeah, we saw all that." "It came out okay?" "We finished the take," "Reggie realized I gave the actual address of where we're being held, he goes ballistic." "'Cause now, he's not only obsessed with the part, now he wants all the money." "Todd and he go at it, he shoots him, point blank in the gut," "grabs Willow and bolts." "Why didn't he shoot you?" "I don't know." "Oh, my God, Willow." "Oh, you've got to find them." "Reggie's obsessed with her." "We're having a hard time judging what's real here." "Okay, here's what's real, this guy is insane." "He's insane." "He's insane." "(EXCLAIMS)" "Please, please, he's going to shoot me." "He shot everybody else." "Please help me." "ROSS:" "It's streaming live." "Where are they now?" "We don't know." "What is that wall behind her?" "LOGAN:" "White." "Looks metallic." "Could be the inside of a van." "It may be Reggie doesn't know how to encrypt." "He's uploading by wifi." "Inside the van?" "When you drive around New York, you can cadge a signal." "Got it." "Union Square." "Public server." "They're still logged in." "Go." "Union Square!" "Let's go!" "Move it!" "(CAR HORN HONKING)" "Does that guy look right to you?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Sir, stop right there!" "I'm going to ask you to take that hat off." "Take off your hat!" "Show's over, Reggie." "All right, now kiss that van!" "Come on!" "Get over there!" "Oh, thank God!" "It's the police!" "Give me that camera!" "Hey, man, I'm just an actor." "With a real gun and a kidnapped girl in the back of your van." "Did Willow say I kidnapped her?" "We have you on tape, James Dean, with a gun to her head." "Well, I had it in my script." "Here." "Here's my sides." "We shot the double murder scene," "I grabbed Willow, get in the van, it's all there." "Holden told us you forced him to write this." "Well, yeah, in a way." "He was kind of afraid of me." "Of you?" "Really?" "How about Willow?" "Was Willow afraid of you?" "Me?" "No." "Willow just wanted a bigger part." "She said if she asked, Holden would blow her off." "The entire shoot, she had good ideas." "Really good at improve." "Holden never listened to her." "This whole van scene, run away thing, that was hers." "She wanted an emotional scene, just her in the van." "I, um..." "Talked Holden into it." "You talked him into it?" "Let's go back to your gun." "Get me a lawyer." "I was blindfolded when they did the shootout." "Reggie said the shootout was your idea." "Well, I mean, that's sweet, but it was a collaboration." "Sweet?" "Didn't he chop off Holden's ear?" "God, that was scary." "Reggie just completely went insane." "And Holden, at first, was ready to end it, but then he was, like," ""No, you know, we really have something here." "Let's keep going."" "WHEELER: (SIGHS) Okay." "We need to know what happened after the shootout." "Reggie and I left to do the van scene." "And everyone was okay?" "I was blindfolded when they took me out." "And then I went into the van and touched up my make-up and then Reggie came out and we drove off." "I'm really sorry you guys were dragged into this." "None of us had any idea it would ever catch on the way it did." "I just..." "I can't wait for Holden to finish it, you know?" "I think he's going to deliver something amazing." "Willow, this isn't community theater." "You're involved in a crime." "It was..." "It was a performance." "It's not like anybody got hurt." "(SCOFFS)" "Yeah, who cares about the character actor, right?" "Todd?" "What..." "Why?" "What happened?" "I mean, did he get a stomachache from the squib?" "It's cyber Rashomon." "Reggie says Holden shot Todd," "Holden says Reggie did it and Willow doesn't even believe anyone's dead." "Or she's pretending not to." "I think the guy with the gun became sexier than the guy getting beat up." "They partnered up to get the money." "Ballistics." "The gun we saw Holden shoot Todd with is a prop gun with blanks." "They're checking Reggie's gun now." "That means Todd was killed when the camera was off." "She's protecting someone." "She wants us to believe she only knows what's in the script." "I'd like to see just how good an actress she really is." "(GAS PS)" "Is he really dead?" "You want to be sure?" "No!" "No, no, no." "I..." "I don't understand." "It was staged, just like everything else." "Did you see Reggie shoot Todd?" "No." "I was in the van putting on my make-up." "Maybe Reggie told you that he shot Todd." "I..." "All I know is that we weren't getting paid much and, um..." "The guys decided to ask Holden for a share of the profits and Holden said no." "And then Reggie came up with some sort of scheme to freak him out into giving up the account numbers." "I guess something went wrong." "But Reggie left out part of the story." "What?" "(GASPS) No!" "No!" "That's..." "That's impossible!" "HOW?" "After he got the account numbers, Reggie shot Holden." "No!" "No!" "He didn't tell you because he knew you wouldn't leave with him." "No one was supposed to die!" "I just..." "This was..." "This was my big thing." "I was supposed to be a star, just for people to know my name." "He's not dead!" "It's not true!" "Baby!" "Baby!" "Shh." "No, please!" "You don't understand!" "Baby, please wake up!" "No!" "Oh, my God!" "She still loves me." "Logan." "Stay here." "Rodgers." "Todd's death may not be what it seemed to be." "He's dead, right?" "Yeah, he is, but this is what killed him." "That's not a slug." "It's just the wadding." "There was no bullet." "He was killed by a blank." "Look, I only pretended to shoot Todd." "He was in on it I squibbed him." "We planned the whole thing out together." "And Willow, was she in on it?" "No." "No." "WHEELER:" "Who loaded the blanks?" "I did." "Holden was too cheap to hire a real prop guy." "And why did you do this?" "To scare Holden into giving up his account numbers." "He was stiffing me and Todd." "This guy was getting like, half a million and we had no cut?" "Tryamillion." "WHEELER:" "And he gets the last laugh." "He's cooperating with the DA." "He's never made any threats." "They don't even have an extortion case." "This whole thing, it wasn't even my idea." "It was Holden's." "Oh, but I'm the ex-con." "The DA figures, let me take the fall." "That seem fair to you?" "Well, actually I'd say Todd's the one who has the bad deal here." "The wadding from the blank hit an artery." "He bled out." "What do you mean?" "What?" "I actually killed somebody?" "Yeah." "You actually did." "And you're looking at a manslaughter charge." "Oh, my God." "Does Willow know?" "Willow, you're not going to believe this." "Our lawyers lied." "The police must have seized the account." "What are you talking about?" "The DigiPay account, Willow." "It's empty..." "This is a million dollars, gone." "It was never about the money, Holden." "Yes, it was." "Where are you..." "Where are you going?" "I have somewhere I need to be." "No, but..." "But I heard you crying." "Hey, you love me." "I do." "And I always will." "We're back live with the Internet phenomenon known as WeepingWillow17." "Lisa Willow Tyler." "Lisa, are you over the trauma of the death of your fellow cast member?" "Well, you know, Larry," "I actually didn't get to know Todd that well, but he was a really, really sweet guy." "It's just tragic because he had such a great career ahead of him." "But right now I'm just trying to move on." "What's next for you?" "Well, I can't even tell you how excited I am to say that I finally secured financing for a full-length Weeping Willow feature." "And we are going to begin production at the end of the summer in Toronto." "Tell me about it." "Well, I basically play a girl from a small town, who is kidnapped and she has to do whatever it takes in order to escape." "Boy, she had me fooled." "She had us all fooled." "Don't worry about it." "Let's get something to eat." "I'm buying."
