"Let's hit it, pal." "Where are we going?" "I can't tell ya!" "it's a surprise" "Come on." "Okay, I may not be CSI, but when your blood ends up on the murder weapon along with the victim's blood..." "you're usually guilty." "It doesn't prove anything anything." "What other proof do you need, Riley?" "it's Auggie, he'd never murder someone are you forgetting about the night he told you about stabbing a guy in a bar fight?" "That was self-defense." "and look, obviously you're not exactly mr.Objective when it comes to judging Auggie" "I wouldn't put you anywhere near that jury box whoa, I'm just stating facts here, Riley one being that right after they found that knife our good friend Auggie seemed to very conveniently just disappear he goes on surfing trips all the time, you know that" "How do you know he's surfing?" "I saw him loading his board and his bag into his van okay!" "so, he could just have been going to the beach how do you know he's on a trip?" "Riley?" "did he tell you he was going somewhere?" "Riley, if you know where he is you have to tell the police." "why?" "so, they can arrest him and convict him of a crime he didn't commit?" "it happens all the time yeah, they also convict people for aiding and abetting a fugitive look Riley, we all know you have this uncanny ability to see the very best in people but is that really worth going to prison for?" "!" "you have no idea he's even innocent yes, I do" "I know Auggie, Jonah oh, really?" "you know Auggie?" "I mean, I get that you're friends and you talk but think about it." "Honestly how well do you really know that guy? I gotta go where?" "Ella's having some kind of emergency of course she is you better hurry well, this might actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise" "I was talking about spending some time apart why not start today?" "okay now, there's one rule that we cannot break no matter what okay?" "it's that we cannot leave this place until we have gone on every single ride you got it?" "got it!" "good." "why can't we do this every day?" "that's a little complicated, bud" "Auf Wiedersehen, mr.Miller that kind of means "good-bye"" "Oh!" "so, wait-wait what's this whole emergency?" "okay, so there's this German guy that I'm trying to woo thank you and I know you know all about German cinema this doesn't sound remotely like an emergency, Ella the real emergency's happening at our building right now" " what happened?" " thank you so, the cops raided Auggie's apartment this morning they found the murder weapon with Auggie's blood on it" "what?" "oh my God it's terrible is Auggie in jail?" "no no, he's doing what every innocent person does disappear into the ether course the only person who thinks" "Auggie's actually innocent is Riley hhmm little disagreement between the two lovebirds?" "no, I just..." "I'm getting a little tired of her obsession with him, that's all yeah well, I don't blame you but there is nothing you can do except help your neighbor who's not a murderer..."me"" "so, wait!" "who's this Aryan mystery man?" "Franz Keppler stop we're having lunch with him at Coal in 45 minutes" "Franz Keppler?" "he just won the Palme d'Or he totally revitalized European cinema" "Wow." "Wait." "Oh, El, if this is a joke, it's cruel by even your standards" "No, there's no joke" "There's just one teeny-weeny catch" "You're not Jonah Miller the filmmaker you are Jonah Miller the new publicist at WPK" "I don't know a thing about publicity." "It's okay, you don't have to" "You talk his movies, I'll talk publicity" "We'll be fine." "It'll be fabulous." "So..." "Mr. Walters here presented with mitral valve prolapse of the anterior leaflet." "What were the possible complications?" "Lauren." "Um..." "Endocarditis, uh, makes the surgery more difficult" "And...?" "And, um..." "Anyone." "uh, the patient might have extensive calcium deposits on the valve leaflets, which ups the surgery risk factors hhmm that's it" "Very good." "All right, that's all." "I'll see you all tomorrow." "dr.Levy to Oncology" "Just a minute, Miss Yung." " have you been studying?" " of course" "Now, when I chose you for my team you said you could handle the grind" "I can handle the grind" "Really?" "because there's a long list of students who'd give their right arm for your spot don't blow it." "Oh, my God." "Good times, huh?" "What the hell are you doing here?" "I need one more little favor" "Our agreement is very clear" "I send you your weekly payments and you stay the hell away from me and my family but I had to come see you in person you won't return my phone calls you know what?" "This sick little game of yours is starting to piss me off" "I feel like I'm supporting another child don't think I'm not appreciative your money has been so helpful" "I just bought some awesome new furniture oh, so let me guess, you need more money" "Right?" "I need a lawyer" "Huh?" "I have a court case coming up" "What for?" "The cops came after me for some little thing I did up in Oregon and now, they're saying I like resisted arrest it doesn't even matter but I figure, you're this big-time doctor you probably have tons of important patients" "including lawyers you expect me to find a lawyer for you?" "the person who's blackmailing me?" "go to hell actually, it's your marriage that goes to hell once I send your wife our little video people like you they don't get away with this kind of behavior" "It comes back to haunt you." "You would know." "My court date's" "December 11'th." "Your choice, Doctor." "Either get me a lawyer, or I get you divorced." "Enjoy your lunch!" "*" "Oh, there's our Bavarian buddy oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm about to have lunch" " with Franz Keppler - okay control the drool and remember you're a publicist not a fan boy" " I know - hi!" "Franz?" "Oh, hello." "wow, Caleb didn't tell me how beautiful the publicist would be well, he is a man of few words anyway, this is my associate Jonah Miller" " who also happens to be one" " Hello / Hello of your biggest fans it's true. "Das Lied" is one of my favorite thrillers like of all time" "Thank you." "Come, let..you know, let's sit" "Ah." "Yes." "Yeah, with "Das Lied" I was trying to make a movie that was visually striking, mesmerizing." "Hmm..." "Kind of like your eyes." "oh!" "Danke schoen." "So, congratulations on the Bruckheimer movie." "No doubt that it is going to be a hit but we need to make sure that you are getting the accolades that you deserve it's not just a Matt Damon movie" "This is a film by Franz Keppler." "You're confident." "Mmm." "It's what I do." "I like that." "Ella is an amazing publicist." "Thank you." "She's the best." "And one of the most inventive filmmakers of his generation deserves the best" "Uh, but, Franz, your use of shadows it makes Fritz Lang look like an amateur" "You're too kind, Jonah." "Which must make you the naughty one." " no..." " yeah" "You nailed it, Franz." "Ella is naughty." "why do you think I proposed to her, huh?" "couldn't let her get away like I would ever stray from you oh, uh..." "I'm so sorry." "I had no idea, you were a couple" "I thought you were colleagues oh, we just try to keep a low profile" "You know, keep it professional Mm-hmm." "But in reality, he cannot keep his hands off of me" "I don't blame him okay boys, let's relax our trousers and get down to business like the juggernaut otherwise known as Franz Keppler's career" " cheers - cheers" "Vive la Franz! unbelievable, huh?" "murder?" "Auggie?" "I know he would never do something like this" "I mean, I guess the police are coming up empty in their investigation, so... so, they're trying to pin it on Auggie?" "they're desperate and stupid listen Violet, I wanted to talk to you about Auggie" "What about him?" "Well, you guys work together" "Has he been..." "I don't know, acting strange lately?" "He's been Auggie." "I mean yeah, he got in that fight with Marcello but Auggie had no choice" "What fight with Marcello?" "Last night." "Auggie finally got fed up with Marcello taking credit for his recipes and he taught him a lesson is Marcello okay?" "broken nose, couple of broken ribs" "Auggie may have lost his job but Marcello got what he deserved" "I took care of Auggie last night, though" "Auggie and I have become... well...intimate look over there!" "aahh...how about getting one of those?" "yeah one of those." "The blue one. that was so fun!" "we were way up there, huh?" "I think I saw my house." "I think I saw the North Pole." "and Santa Claus was shoveling his driveway he only comes in winter what?" "can you win me a prize?" "No." "David!" "Yeah, I'll win you a prize." "you got it." "Come on, pal." "uh wait, one second, Noah." "Leticia, what's up?" "They're not home, are they?" "Okay, good." "No, no, no, we're fine." "Noah, get down from there, pal." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "yeah, we'll be home in like an hour and the good news is you won't have to feed him for like a week yeah, he's eaten his weight in corndogs" "Noah!" "No! You okay, buddy?" "Okay, you're gonna be okay." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Okay, we're here, buddy." "we're gonna get some help, all right?" "I'm looking for Lauren Yung she's a med student, part of dr.Mancini's team" " David - hi" "ER's this way." "Okay." "All right, buddy." "so, when you called you left out the part about how this happened it doesn't matter he said that his arm hurts real bad" "Okay." "Okay, just relax." "pulled some strings, we can get him in straight away" "Okay, we can take it from here, David" " you want to just go wait over there?" " I'm not going anywhere unless you're a guardian, it's not really policy" " well, it is now!" "I'm not leaving him - it's okay check his vitals, get me a chem 20 do an AP and a lateral, left arm he also threw up in the car ride over it's probably all the junk he ate" " could also be a concussion - what?" "I didn't see him hit his head" "I'm going to take care of him add a CT scan uh, Lauren um... something you should know my dad doesn't know that I took Noah well, he's about to they're calling him as we speak" "maybe you shouldn't have anything to do with this" "I mean, if you want to step out and have another doctor come in..." "David, the child needs medical care" "I'm giving it to him" "Auggie, it's me" "I just want you to know I'm totally here for you and I know it's only been 24 hours since we last saw each other but... I miss you call me" "nice furniture love what I've done with the place" "did you find me a lawyer?" "oh, didn't need to" "I checked out the details of your hearing and it turns out I know the judge that's scheduled to preside over it" " what does that get me?" " I actually met Judge Davis the day I did a quadruple bypass on mrs.Davis needless to say the good judge was extremely grateful that's perfect eh, that depends see, Judge Davis has the utmost trust in me" "and I'm your character witness either way" " what do you mean?" " I mean that I can tell him that the Violet Foster I know is a poor, disinherited orphan and should have the justice system smile upon her" " thank you - or..." "I can tell him that Violet is a sick and twisted menace to society that should be locked up your move" "fine" "and now we're done your days of milking me for money are over now, if even one single frame of that video shows up anywhere" "I call Judge Davis and he throws your devious little ass in jail" "who says doctors don't make house calls anymore? so, tell me how did you guys meet?" "oh, she..." "at my apartment building, actually he um... well, he had a girlfriend at the time but as soon as I saw that adorable smile" "I just knew you know what?" "I'm thinking of doing a romantic comedy and looking at you two I have found my inspiration aw... did you hear that?" " I did" " Jonah, it's nice to meet you and Ella, my dear..." "Franz, oh very sweet very nice to meet you" "I'm going to put some serious thought into working with WPK" "Jonah, hang on to her tight, yeah?" "she is worth keeping" "AufWiedersehen, Franz." "call me at the office tomorrow" "Ja, ja." "always knew you were destined to win an Oscar someday but I never thought it would be for acting" "Bravo" "Well, I had to come up with a way to stop Franz from slipping you the wiener schnitzel before salad was served" "I was talking about pretending to be a publicist oh" "Jonah, hi, it's me, Ella you actually think some horny director would ever faze me?" "I deal with guys like that all the time in my sleep" "I think that you put your arm around me and pretended to be my beau because secretly it's what you wanted since the day that we met you really are drunk aren't you?" "you know...funny thing is, is that you and I as a couple completely natural" "I mean, Franz totally bought it yeah, after drinking an entire vat of wine" "I think he'd buy anything we sold him" "Jonah, come on give us a little bit of credit you and I at that lunch were completely compatible more than I can say about some real couples I know" "and by that, you mean me and Riley?" "it's pretty obvious that the two of you have been having problems since the day you asked her to marry you it's not exactly my definition of compatibility maybe it's time that you explore some other options" "...the operative word being "explore"" "okay uh, what's that supposed to mean?" "well, Hotel Andaz is right down the street" "I can... cancel the rest of my meetings, you can clear the rest of your day and you can finally experience what you've been missing all this time" "oh Jonah, come on you can't tell me that you haven't at least fantasized about the idea yeah Ella, I'm engaged remember that minor little detail?" "what does "engaged" even mean giving your college sweetheart a ring because you're insecure about your career and you're hoping that she'll bring you some sense of security?" "is that why you think I proposed to Riley?" "absolutely" "Jonah, you guys are nothing alike okay look, we might be going through some growing pains right now but it's nothing that's not normal for any couple planning a wedding nothing about you is normal and everything about her is painfully normal" "El, you are so out of line right now am I?" "you... are this brilliant passionate, creative type who seeks adventure and, and an-and excitement and Riley is this mellow, laid-back schoolteacher whose idea of a fun night i-is grading spelling tests okay look..." "say whatever you want about me, I don't care don't you ever bad-mouth Riley if you have a problem with the fact that I'm in love with her then it's just that...it's your problem." "Jonah...the only reason" "I am even out here all day alone with you is because" "Riley trusts me and I trust Riley that's the reason she's the person I'm meant to be with the only person I'm meant to be with don't worry, he'll be good as new in no time" "I can keep an eye on him if you want to go to the commissary the coffee's semi-toxic but it's caffeinated no, I'm good oh my God, Noah it's okay, mommy and daddy are here now" "sweetie... how you doing, buddy?" " mommy?" " hi can I...is it all right to hold him?" "he-he really shouldn't be moved he's got a a hairline fracture to the ulna and a mild concussion" "you are never to come near Noah again, is that clear?" "if you ever pull something this reckless again so help me God, David, I will press charges the last thing I ever wanted was for him to get hurt then what were you thinking?" "I wasn't." "I just wanted to spend time with him" "I wanted to be a brother okay?" "I screwed up" "I love him" "well, you have an odd way of showing it" "good work, Yung Riley?" "I'm in here" "Hey." "You okay?" "Yeah." "No, not really." "Who are you calling?" "No one." "Yet." "it's Auggie, huh?" "you're calling to warn him?" "I IM'd him" "I meant it when I said that I wasn't going to have anything to do with Auggie but he's your friend" "I get it you believe in him, so I believe in you if you don't think he did it, I don't think he did, either." "I trust you, Riley because, in the same exact situation" "I'd want you to trust me" "Jonah, the IMs Auggie sent me back they were kind of scary" "maybe I don't know him as well as I thought maybe he did hurt Sydney but, if he did do it and he ends up hurting someone else because I kept my mouth shut" "I couldn't live with myself at the end of the day you were right it's not up to me to decide whether or not he's innocent" "look... whatever you decide to do..." "I'm here for you" "detective Rodriguez, please" "Caleb?" "ah Simms, there you are oh God you brought me in here to talk football?" "Franz Keppler just called" " ooh - he's coming to WPK not only did he love your pitch but he especially loved your...uh, boyfriend?" "invite me to one of your slumber parties we'll have a pint and share boyfriend stories uh-huh." "he said his name was Jonah that wouldn't happen to be Jonah Miller the director of the Anton V EPK and the Boomkat video savior, would it?" "the one and only" "I'm impressed, Simms he's absolutely adorable yeah he is but um... but nothing he's brilliant, he's charming." "he's a very talented director you know something?" "you've actually got good taste in men" "I have very good taste in everything, Caleb but the truth is..is that Jonah is engaged hhmm you're a bad girl, aren't you?" "I'm not a home wrecker and Jonah is not my boyfriend okay?" "he's just a friend who was protecting me from Franz's groping hhmm he's a hot-blooded, heterosexual male engaged or not, if he's pretending to be your boyfriend then he wants to be oh well, then that's his problem because Jonah Miller is so not my type" "please" "oohh sorry uh, did I get your book wet?" "that's okay." "I've dropped my fair share of books in the deep end." "That's what hair dryers are for." "You know, I was thinking making rent every month is turning out to be harder than I thought and you're a med student, so, money's got to be tight for you too, right?" "that's putting it mildly well, I was wondering if you and Ella would be interested in having a new roommate" "I don't take up too much space and I promise I don't talk in my sleep." "we would have so much fun together you know, Violet" "I'd love to but um" "I-I don't think Ella's going to be too psyched about sharing the bathroom with one more person yeah, I get it." "I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask" "one shot of tequila or 12" "I take it you've had about as good a day as me oh no, I've had worse" "Especially since the police finally figured out who murdered Sydney" "what?" "!" "who did it?" "have you two been trapped in a vault all day?" "the police were here this morning raiding Auggie's apartment" "Auggie?" "uh yeah the murder weapon had Auggie's blood all over it they're searching for him as we speak oh my God that is so messed up" "I'm as broken up about it as you are" "did you guys hear about Auggie?" "yeah, we're like in shock oh I bet" "I mean, Riley, you know Auggie better than all of us all those morning jogs together who knew that you were running with the devil?" "he's not the devil right... look I'm um..." "I'm sorry about earlier today" "I have no idea what got into me except for three bottles of Pinot Grigio that much wine and I go straight for shock value" "Oh." "well, don't worry about it" "I won't" "I'm going to go chase my buzz can I have a word with you, David?" "sure" "* You gonna go soon, go soon, go down the parlor * * make you up and put you in a shirt and a collar * * drive you down the road and lay your body down. *" "if you're here for David Beatdown Part Two can we get on with it?" "actually uh...no no, I'm not here for that" "Okay." "I stand by what I said at the hospital what you did was reckless you cost Leticia her job it's not Leticia's fault most importantly, you put Noah's life in danger" "you don't think that I feel terrible do you think that I wanted to hurt him?" "he's my little brother" "I just want to say that... well, I appreciate... that you wanted to spend time with Noah" "anyway... * hold on to the way we started * * how it all should have gone... * hey" "hey" "I uh..." "I just wanted to say thank you for you know, today it's pretty obvious you're going to be an amazing doctor just doing my job yeah well, I've known a lot of docs in my day and" "most of them didn't care nearly half as much as you do" "I think you're the one who cares you know?" "seeing you with Noah like that today" "I didn't think you could be that devoted to someone pretty easy to be devoted to a kid like Noah" "I mean, it's the other million things in my life that's a different story" "you know David, um... you're obviously smart obviously seriously." "all you have to do, David is decide what you want to do with your life and apply yourself just make sure that whatever it is, it's legal" "you should know that-that little hobby of mine it's over good" "I'm glad cause it was going to be really awkward calling the cops on my neighbor" "do you want to know why it's over?" "why?" "cause I don't want you to ever look at me the way you did when you caught me coming out of that house ever" "I want you to look at me the way you're looking at me now * at least now we know * it's something we can't speak of * * become... * there's no luck * in our lives" "* no living under starlight... are you okay?" "did I cross a line?" "no, it's... it... it's not you then, what is it?" "I just can't do this" "I'm sorry yeah, so am I" "* Hold on to the way we started... *"
