Morning, Empress.
Morning.

Mummy! I want some breakfast.

OK, Noah, honey. I'll be
there in a second, darling.

He's fine. He's fine. Yeah.

You sure?

PHONE RINGS

Bobby. Sorry.

Sorry, it's Cameron.

Hi. Hey.

What's up? OK, uh,

really quick question about
the edit.

Did we grab a shot of
the n*zi by the window?

Because if we did,

then I don't think we need that shot
of Marcel because

in theory, if we put a shot of
Marcel's shadow on in post... Yeah.

..then that solves the problem of
not seeing him on the steps. Erm...

So, I don't think we need to
do any kind of green screen crap...

Yep. ..and, uh, I just wanted
to get your feeling on that.

I mean, I thought together we could
maybe fashion something

kind of quite cool. Er, yeah, so...

uh, so is that a yes
to the n*zi by the window?

Er, that's yes to Nazis by
the window.

Great, good. OK.

Yeah, well, that was it, really.
Yes, so, uh...

OK, good. Bye.

KNOCK AT DOOR

What? There's someone at the door.

Shall I get it?
BOTH: No.

Who, is it?

It's a nanny.

I have another pitch today.

FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS

Sorry, sorry.

INDISTINCT

Mum!

SHE SIGHS

Mum!

PROGRAMME SOUNDTRACK PLAYS

Go on, say something.
You hate it? Just...

No, it's, no, it's fine.

I just think that we
need to see Otto's death.

We just need to see him die.

OK, Cameron just try and imagine
that you've been

sleeping with the n*zi.

That's not difficult.

I had a thing with
a beautiful woman

who was anti-Semitic. And, uh,

I was already to let her have it

when she suggested we have sex,

so we, erm,
we just did that instead.

Mazel Tov.

Er, but in the case of our movie,
when, when Collette leaves the body

and the resistance look her in
the whites of her eyes,

we should feel their judgment
on her.

You know, she's just delivered
this blow to the Third Reich

and now they're,
they're sl*t shaming her!

That's, that's truthful.
Being sl*t shamed by your own side.

Hmm.

OK. Yeah, OK, you win.

What? You win. I...you're right.

Do you think that? Or are you just,
like, keeping your head down

the way you don't tweet about
transgender issues?

I am agreeing with you.

I thought that's what you
all wanted.

Rick, your number's up.

You shady son of a b*tch.

Jean, what,
what are you talking about?

Yeah, I knew you were
a sneaky m*therf*cker but

guess what my assistant
found in his car.

What the f*ck? That's not mine.

What's the matter,
Rick, aren't we paying you enough?

Can't hack the late nights?
What the hell, Rick?

There must be half
a million dollars of cocaine here.

You're f*cking kidding me?

No, I am not f*cking kidding you!

Damn!

SHE LAUGHS

Oh, my God!

Jean, that is not f*cking funny.

I borrowed this from
the props department!

Oh, my God. Oh, your faces!

THEY CONTINUE LAUGHING

Oh, my God!

I gotta text the props guy.

He hates when I do this sh*t.

I'm always like,
"What have you got?"

I once put a prosthetic head
in a plastic bag

on the passenger's seat
of Sir Ben Kingsley's rental...

He never found it!

Or maybe he did
and just didn't find it funny. Hmm.

Yeah, that'll be it.

Jean, what are you doing here?

You never come down to the edit
unless the sh*t's hit the fan.

Fraser Schwartz is pulling your
marketing budget.

Come on?!

What?! What does that mean?

That means that you,
Cameron O'Neill,

need to go suck
Fraser Schwartz's d*ck.

The head of the studio?

That's... I'm not... No way.

Cameron doesn't want to go because
Fraser Schwartz's new girlfriend

is Cameron's old girlfriend Kirsty.

Oh. OK, this is bullshit.
This is not...

This is an act of humiliation.
This is a power move.

He just wants to see me on my knees
eating sh*t.

Yep. So off you go!
Go and eat some sh*t.

Eat it all up, and don't come back
until you're full.

You're not nice, Jean.

God, I'm good at this.

Do you know what IBM stands for?

Erm, International Business...
Machines.

Yeah.

Get him to that meeting.

You're creative.
Think of something.

Cameron? What's up? You ready?

I thought I was making real progress
but she just got under my skin.

Oh, we're still on Kirsty.

I built up her self-esteem
from nothing.

I did all the hard work,
and now he gets to harvest it.

I just wanted to empower her.
To, to give her knowledge.

"Knowledge is power." Francis Bacon.

I said that to her once
and she said why is France bacon?

Oh, she thought the country
France... Yeah, France is bacon.

Was bacon? Exactly. So, I was just
trying to educate her. Wow.

Trying to cultivate her. I gave her
a reading list,

I gave her everything...
Bobby, Bobby. Oh, great!

I need your signatures on
the deal memo.

Yeah. I'll be right there.

What do you mean cultivate her?
What are you,

some sort of Professor Higgins?

She had an amazing body.

And she...she was once given
a lot of money

by some guys to make a mould

to turn into one
of those real-life sex dolls.

Which I vetoed, of course.

You should have let her.

Then you'd still be able
to have sex with her, sort of.

I loved your movie by the way.

Oh, thank you.

That wide shot at
the end was really powerful.

Did you use a 25 mil?

Yup.

Yeah, I love using 25 mil when
I'm sh**ting my wides.

Oh, you want to be a film-maker?

I am a film-maker.

Good for you.

If you need any advice...

You have to initial on the top.

If they ask us about
Pierre's behaviour,

we're just gonna say he was French.

Yes. He was French.
He was very French.

When it comes to the movie, I'll
remind them that movies

about Nazis make money.
Look at the stats.

And I say that as
a progressive Jewish woman.

Yeah, definitely say you're a Jew.

Oh, my God. It's her. What?

That's Kirsty. That's her. It's her.

It's her. I know that shape. I used
to hold that shape. She can't see

me... OK, well, just stay calm.
I can't see her.

Cameron, you're being ridiculous.
Cameron!

Pull yourself together,
you can do this. Yeah.

Come on, Cameron.
Look at me, look at me.

You are top of your game. OK?

You're successful, you're rich.

I don't care about that stuff.
You're sexy.

You're not just saying that?
No, you really turn me on.

Now, let's get in that meeting.
You speak first,

you burst the bubble. You own it.

Do you wanna take a seat over here?
Thank you.

Help yourself to anything that
you want. Thank you. Thanks.

He'll be with you in a minute.

Ooh, wow!

DOOR CLOSES

It's OK, we've got this.

Mm-hm. Just relax.

Hmm, hmm. Yeah.

Did you see Seth and Carson outside?

Oh, was that them?

They're in the room next door.
Probably pitching a sitcom.

DISTANT LAUGHTER

Sounds like it's going great.

They've never made me laugh.

DOOR OPENS
Hey.

Hi! My apologies.

Hi. Hi, how are ya?
Good, nice to meet you.

Fraser. Hey.

Thank you very much for giving me

a parking space right next
to your brand-new Bentley GT.

Now I have to trade up to
a new one.

I've just got to get
the latest model.

You talking about cars,
or girlfriends?

Oh!

THEY LAUGH

Come on! Why, you little...!

HE LAUGHS

Excuse us. Please, please.

I think we've met before?

Did I make an a*s of myself?
Please don't answer.

I have heard such great things
about your movie.

Thank you very much.
Oh, smart people love it

and that's a good place to be.
Seen her movie?

Oh, mother of God,
yeah, like, three times.

Oh, beautiful. Women, every woman
I know, loves your movie. Oh!

Every woman. And some guys.
Friend of mine,

big guy. Big football guy.
Sat crying.

Crying at your movie.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

Thank you.

Huh, isn't that great?

Yup, amazing.

So...

A Little Death.

Now you want me to push
a dead guy's movie?

We ain't got the budget for that.
But I am prepared to hear you out.

Pardon me. We have met before.
I remember. Years ago,

big party up in the Hills.

And you were with

Richard...Richard Knight.

Have I got that right?
Yeah, you have, yeah.

Yeah?
HE LAUGHS

Richard. You know Richard?

Yeah, a little, yeah.

Funny guy, great guy.
Man of his time.

Must have been...
Nine, ten years ago?

12 years. It was 12 years ago.

Ooh, we were all a little
loose around the seams back then.

LAUGHS

No comment. Er, yeah.

Hmm, so...

OK, so, A Little Death,
it's not a dead man's movie,

it's Bobby's...
What would you say

to Richard if he walked through
the door right now?

To Richard?

I would say,
"Richard, you son of a g*n,

"you still owe me ten grand!"

THEY CHUCKLE

I'd say you r*ped me.

That's what I'd say.

I didn't know anyone at that party,
apart from him.

And we'd drunk a lot of whisky.

We drunk a lot of whisky.
Cos I like drinking whisky.

And I don't remember anything about
that night.

I just... All I remember is
the way his eyes would go

to the back of his sockets
when he was inside me.

And I texted him the next day.

To make sure that HE was OK.

LAUGHS WEAKLY

KNOCK AT DOOR

DOOR OPENS

I am so sorry.

But I gotta take this call.

I have three daughters.

Take all the time you need.

DOOR CLOSES

It's OK, come on.

What the f*ck is wrong with her?
This is so unprofessional.

I've been abused,
we've all been abused.

This is my f*cking future, Cameron!
Jean, I'll fix the Fraser thing.

If I took the time
to tell you about all

the sh*t I've gone through

to get to where I am today,
you'd die of old age.

But then she decides
to jeopardise everything

without considering the fallout.

Get therapy!
I don't go into a meeting and say,

"Oh, the head of Paramount wants in,

"Ryan Gosling's attached,
we can sh**t in Vermont.

"Oh, and by the way, did
I tell you about the time

"a producer made me jerk him off
into a kitchen sink when I was 19?"

Oh, boy.

What deal is THAT gonna close?

Cameron, you'd better f*cking fix
this sh*t, or we're through.

f*ck!

OK, I'll be sure to let her know.

Have a great day.

Bobby?

Bobby.

Hmm?

What did she say?

She said she's going to talk
to Fraser directly from now on.

OK.

You OK?

Yeah.

Well, do you need to talk
to anyone?

No.

No.

Maybe you should talk to
a professional therapist,

help you...help you deal with it?

I think that was me dealing
with it.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry Richard did that to you.

What do you want to do?

Erm...

I don't know.

I...I don't want to go home.

Come on.

Something irresponsible.

Do you want to get a hot dog? No.

Get some cocaine?

SHE LAUGHS
No.

Do you want to go to a titty bar?

Er... No.

Are you sure you don't want to
go to a titty bar?

SHE LAUGHS

Sure you don't want to go to
a titty bar?

Ah, can we just keep walking?

Which direction?

Forward? Agreed.
