0:02:32 > 0:02:34What are you doing out here?

0:02:35 > 0:02:36I'm lost.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38This is a restricted area.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Oh, I didn't know that. There's no signs.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42They're everywhere.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Let's see some ID.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Why?

0:02:46 > 0:02:48There's a broken gate back there, you're trespassing.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Excuse me, sir, that gate was open

0:02:50 > 0:02:53and I was under the opinion that this was a detour.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54Let me see the ID. Take it out.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56What kind of uniform is that?

0:02:56 > 0:02:59I'll ask the fucking questions.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00It's a private outfit, huh?

0:03:01 > 0:03:05- I tried to get one of those jobs. I like guarding things.- Really(?)

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Here you go, sir. I think what must have happened is,

0:03:09 > 0:03:12I just must have gotten turned around, or...

0:03:18 > 0:03:20RADIO CHATTER

0:03:46 > 0:03:49I guesstimate that I have about 50lb of copper wire,

0:03:49 > 0:03:51100lb of chain-link fence

0:03:51 > 0:03:53and two manhole covers - the nice thick ones.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56I'll give 50 cents a pound for the wire, 15 for the fence

0:03:56 > 0:03:57and ten for the covers.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59That's below market value.

0:03:59 > 0:04:00Market value?

0:04:00 > 0:04:03You know the cops came by, asking about manhole covers?

0:04:03 > 0:04:06I'd like to counter at a dollar a pound for the copper,

0:04:06 > 0:04:0830 cents a pound for the fence

0:04:08 > 0:04:10and 20 cents per for the covers.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11Sell them somewhere else.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13I'd feel good at 75, 25 and 15.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14I'm not negotiating with you.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16- I think we're close.- I'm done.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25I'm willing to take less to establish a business relationship.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28If that's your last best offer, then I guess I accept.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30All right. Drive around back and unload them.

0:04:32 > 0:04:33Excuse me, sir?

0:04:35 > 0:04:36I'm looking for a job.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38In fact, I've made up my mind

0:04:38 > 0:04:40to find a career that I can learn and grow into.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Who am I? I'm a hard worker.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45I set high goals and I've been told that I'm persistent.

0:04:45 > 0:04:46Now, I'm not fooling myself, sir.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Having been raised with the self-esteem movement

0:04:48 > 0:04:51so popular in schools, I used to expect my needs to be considered.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54But I know that today's work culture no longer caters to the job loyalty

0:04:54 > 0:04:56that could be promised to earlier generations.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58What I believe, sir, is that good things come

0:04:58 > 0:05:01to those who work their asses off, and that people such as yourself,

0:05:01 > 0:05:03who reached the top of the mountain, didn't just fall there.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05My motto is, "If you want to win the lottery,

0:05:05 > 0:05:07"you have to make the money to buy a ticket."

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Did I say that I worked in a garage?

0:05:11 > 0:05:13So, what do you say?

0:05:13 > 0:05:15I could start tomorrow, or even why not tonight?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17No.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27How about an internship, then?

0:05:27 > 0:05:30A lot of young people are taking unpaid positions to get a foot in the door.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32That's something I'd be willing to do.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Let me tell you something.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00It's a flaming asshole of a job.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Can I ask you, are you currently hiring?

0:18:03 > 0:18:04and I want the copy to start with a warning.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06- You're going to show this? - With a warning.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09- It's excessive.- We should have packages like this every day.

0:18:09 > 0:18:10People are eating breakfast.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12And they'll talk about it at work.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Tie it in with the carjacking last month in Glendale

0:18:14 > 0:18:16and the other one, the van in Palms.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18- When was that? March?- March, yeah.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22It's a carjacking crime wave. That's the banner.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23Call the victim's family.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25- Get a quote, mic it - you know what to do.- Yeah.

0:18:27 > 0:18:28How much?

0:18:42 > 0:18:44Buy yourself some better equipment, a directional mic,

0:18:44 > 0:18:46and get interviews when you can.

0:18:46 > 0:18:47- You have a good eye.- Thank you.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50I'm just beginning, so praise from someone such as yourself -

0:18:50 > 0:18:52well, you can imagine that it means quite a lot.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Well, I'll help in any way I can.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57And, of course, you can help me by calling us first.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59I want you to contact me when you have something.

0:18:59 > 0:19:00- Something like this?- That's right.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Bloody?

0:19:02 > 0:19:06Well, that's only part of it. We like crime - not all crime.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Carjacking in Compton, for example - that isn't news, now, is it?

0:19:09 > 0:19:12We find our viewers are more interested in urban crime

0:19:12 > 0:19:15creeping into the suburbs.

0:30:03 > 0:30:06- I'm not doing it again. - This is for... This is for TV.

0:30:06 > 0:30:08Yeah? I don't have a TV.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19It's over.

0:31:48 > 0:31:50You didn't get an interview with the couple?

0:31:50 > 0:31:52I have footage of them.

0:31:52 > 0:31:53I have an interview with a neighbour.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55She curses, but you can cut that out.

0:31:55 > 0:31:56How did you get inside the house?

0:31:56 > 0:31:58- The door was open.- They allowed you?

0:31:58 > 0:32:01I heard somebody yell to come in and when nobody was inside I left.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03And the only shot of the couple is through a window?

0:32:03 > 0:32:06- The police were shutting it down. - No, I don't like it.- Like what?

0:32:06 > 0:32:07The footage looks like he broke in.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10There's no close-up of the homeowners and he's giving us

0:32:10 > 0:32:13- their name off a piece of private correspondence. - Excuse me, that's junk mail.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Well, I have a problem with that. - We'll knock out a killer package.

0:32:16 > 0:32:19- This is my job.- No - your job's writing the tweet of the day

0:32:19 > 0:32:22and getting Deb to turn sideways during the weather forecast.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24We're running it.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26I like how you handled Frank.

0:32:26 > 0:32:28You didn't soften the truth or dilute it.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30I think being clear with your objectives is more important

0:32:30 > 0:32:34than trying to present your ideas in a non-confrontational manner.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36Do you have experience in an office?

0:32:36 > 0:32:38Myself? Not presently, no.

0:32:38 > 0:32:39Where'd you get all that?

0:32:39 > 0:32:42- I study a lot online. - Yeah? Like what?

0:32:42 > 0:32:44All sorts of things, actually. I'm on my computer all day.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48I haven't had what you'd call much of a formal education,

0:32:48 > 0:32:51but you can find most anything if you look hard enough.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01Last year, I took an online business course, for example.

0:33:01 > 0:33:05And I learned that you have to have a business plan

0:33:05 > 0:33:06before starting a business.

0:33:06 > 0:33:10Why you pursue something is equally as important as what you pursue.

0:33:12 > 0:33:16The site advised you to answer the following question,

0:33:16 > 0:33:19before you decide where to focus your abilities.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22The question was, "What do I love to do?"

0:33:23 > 0:33:26The site suggested making a list of your strengths and weaknesses -

0:33:26 > 0:33:29what am I good at? What am I not good at?

0:33:29 > 0:33:31Maybe I want to strengthen and develop knowledge

0:33:31 > 0:33:33about the things I'm already good at,

0:33:33 > 0:33:35maybe I might want to strengthen my weaknesses.

0:33:41 > 0:33:42I recently remade my list...

0:33:44 > 0:33:48..and I'm thinking that television news...

0:33:49 > 0:33:51..might just be something I love,

0:33:51 > 0:33:54as well as something I happen to be good at.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09On TV, it looks so real.

0:34:10 > 0:34:11Yes, it does.

0:34:14 > 0:34:15Well, I have a show to do.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17Your cheque's at the desk.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21Outstanding work, Lou. Really, just great.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Thanks, Nina. That means an awful lot.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56and tucking them into bed and then having to shield them,

0:37:08 > 0:37:09and you're doing a great job.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12However, you just spilled gasoline on my car, which will eat the paint.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15I need you to tighten up a bit on this, because if you fill it like that again,

0:41:03 > 0:41:04I don't think so.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08You know, I recently heard about a Mexican restaurant called Cabanita.

0:41:08 > 0:41:09Have you heard of it?

0:41:09 > 0:41:11It's also on your sleeve.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14Oh, I didn't see that.

0:41:16 > 0:41:20What I'm asking is, do you like Mexican food, Nina?

0:41:20 > 0:41:21Yes.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27Cabanita has been called an authentic taste of Mexico City.

0:41:30 > 0:41:33Do you want to go with me? I think we could have fun together.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35Thanks, but I'm busy.

0:41:35 > 0:41:36Saturday's your night off, isn't it?

0:41:36 > 0:41:38I have a rule, Lou. I...

0:41:38 > 0:41:40I don't date people I work with.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42And I'm twice your age.

0:41:42 > 0:41:44I like older women.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47Besides, I don't work with you, you're someone I sell to.

0:41:47 > 0:41:48And I don't want to fuck that up.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50What if, by saying "no", you fuck it up?

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Is that what you're saying?

0:41:56 > 0:41:58I didn't SAY that.

0:41:58 > 0:41:59HE CHUCKLES

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Well, I don't know what to say.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07Good morning, thank you for joining us, I'm Lisa Mays.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10And I'm Ben Waterman. First up this morning on KWLA News,

0:42:10 > 0:42:13a horrible car crash over in Benedict Canyon -

0:42:13 > 0:42:16it's claimed the life now of one man, severely injured a young woman.

0:42:18 > 0:42:19Hey, Lou!

0:42:21 > 0:42:24Hey, man. Joe Loder. Mayhem.

0:42:24 > 0:42:25Great get tonight.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28They were closing it down by the time we showed up.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30Were you waiting for me out here?

0:42:30 > 0:42:32No, I was driving by and saw your car.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35You're not dropping your shit off, are you? Nobody does that.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37You need an AirCard if you want to be in the game.

0:42:37 > 0:42:42Import the video to your laptop, cut the video, upload to your FTP site

0:42:42 > 0:42:44and notify the stations you got something for sale.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46Boom-boom-boom.

0:42:46 > 0:42:47Otherwise, it's a nice ride.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51Listen, man. You got a good run going,

0:42:51 > 0:42:52but there's valleys out there.

0:42:52 > 0:42:55Take it from me, I've been nightcrawling 14 years.

0:42:55 > 0:42:56You heard I'm adding a second van?

0:42:56 > 0:42:58Oh, I didn't hear that.

0:42:58 > 0:43:00Going to be a game changer -

0:43:00 > 0:43:02cut my on-scene time in half.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04I'm setting up a dedicated dispatch, too.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06No more listening and driving, that's for suckers.

0:43:06 > 0:43:08You like the Canon 305s?

0:43:08 > 0:43:10- Never used one.- Six thou' a piece.

0:43:10 > 0:43:152.4 megapixels, night vision, 18-to-1 zoom.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17I got one of those puppies with your name on it.

0:43:17 > 0:43:18I have a camera.

0:43:18 > 0:43:21I want you running my second van.

0:43:21 > 0:43:22Two crews, half the area to cover.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25Now, I know what you're thinking - half the money, right?

0:43:25 > 0:43:27You should be thinking twice the sales,

0:43:27 > 0:43:30cos we're going to be the first at every scene.

0:43:30 > 0:43:32Why compete when we can work together?

0:43:32 > 0:43:36You can share my press cards, puppy dog off my police connections.

0:43:36 > 0:43:38This is the big move. The next level.

0:43:38 > 0:43:39We can corner this whole thing.

0:43:39 > 0:43:42I'm talking about putting some heavy digits in our pocket, bro.

0:43:42 > 0:43:44Thank you for offering me the position,

0:43:44 > 0:43:46but working for myself is more in line

0:43:46 > 0:43:48with my skills and career goals.

0:43:49 > 0:43:51Take a few days to think about it.

0:43:51 > 0:43:52No.

0:43:52 > 0:43:55You'll need to hire someone else and I don't want to hold up the process.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57You want to be on the inside of this, man,

0:43:57 > 0:44:00cos I'm going to be tag-teaming every call.

0:44:00 > 0:44:02You keep talking like...

0:44:02 > 0:44:04it's something I may be interested in, but I'm not.

0:44:04 > 0:44:07You don't even understand the offer.

0:44:07 > 0:44:09If you did you'd be fucking sucking my dick!

0:44:09 > 0:44:10You're asking me questions -

0:44:10 > 0:44:12what does this mean? What does that mean?

0:44:12 > 0:44:16I feel like grabbing you by your ears right now

0:44:16 > 0:44:18and screaming in your face,

0:44:18 > 0:44:20"I'm not fucking interested."

0:44:22 > 0:44:24Instead, I'm going to drive home and do some accounting.

0:44:29 > 0:44:30Fuck you!

0:44:30 > 0:44:31Twerp!

0:44:36 > 0:44:39MEXICAN MUSIC PLAYS

0:44:44 > 0:44:46I didn't wake up till five.

0:44:47 > 0:44:50My body's so off, I feel like it's time for breakfast.

0:44:54 > 0:44:57I bet you're beautiful any time of the day.

0:44:57 > 0:44:58In fact,

0:44:58 > 0:45:01I'd say you're much prettier than Lisa Mays.

0:45:01 > 0:45:02NINA LAUGHS

0:45:03 > 0:45:06I like the dark make-up on your eyes.

0:45:06 > 0:45:07I also like the way you smell.

0:45:10 > 0:45:11So where are you from, Lou?

0:45:13 > 0:45:15The north end of the valley.

0:45:17 > 0:45:19Some of the calls sometimes take me over there,

0:45:19 > 0:45:21but nobody I know still lives out there.

0:45:21 > 0:45:23You're from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25How do you know that?

0:45:25 > 0:45:26It's online.

0:45:28 > 0:45:29Everything about you is online.

0:45:29 > 0:45:31Not everything, but definitely a lot.

0:45:31 > 0:45:34I've watched all the videos from when you were a reporter.

0:45:34 > 0:45:36- I'm sure you look at those, of course.- No!

0:45:36 > 0:45:38No, God, no. Not without a drink in my hand.

0:45:38 > 0:45:41I watch my work all the time.

0:45:41 > 0:45:43- Yeah? Do you want to become a reporter?- No.

0:45:44 > 0:45:46Most of you guys want airtime.

0:45:46 > 0:45:48Not me.

0:45:48 > 0:45:51I want to be the guy that owns the station that owns the camera.

0:45:51 > 0:45:55The business is going well, but in order to grow to the next level

0:45:55 > 0:45:58I need to stay one step ahead of my competition and take risks.

0:45:58 > 0:46:02I also need financial support to implement expansion.

0:46:02 > 0:46:04Would you like another margarita?

0:46:05 > 0:46:07One's enough.

0:46:07 > 0:46:10Thanks for coming out to talk.

0:46:10 > 0:46:14The place I'm in now is that I want a relationship

0:46:14 > 0:46:16with someone I can team up with and share,

0:46:16 > 0:46:18like we share the same job and hours and whatnot.

0:46:18 > 0:46:21I could go down a laundry list, but you get the idea.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23Yes. Well, I hope you find someone.

0:46:25 > 0:46:28Here's the thing about that, Nina.

0:46:28 > 0:46:29I'm quite certain I already have.

0:46:33 > 0:46:34OK...

0:46:34 > 0:46:36Let me put this politely.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38I only came out to dinner with you, Lou,

0:46:38 > 0:46:41purely as a professional courtesy.

0:46:43 > 0:46:44Thank you.

0:46:46 > 0:46:49Because I don't think it's any secret that I've single-handedly

0:46:49 > 0:46:51raised the unit price of your ratings book.

0:46:53 > 0:46:55Our ratings-book price?

0:46:55 > 0:46:57Whoa!

0:46:58 > 0:46:59I'm a very fast learner.

0:46:59 > 0:47:02We had a conversation where I specifically mentioned that.

0:47:02 > 0:47:03Do you remember that?

0:47:04 > 0:47:06- Well, do you?- Yes.

0:47:06 > 0:47:08I recently learned, for instance,

0:47:08 > 0:47:11that most Americans watch local news to stay informed.

0:47:13 > 0:47:15I also learned that the average half hour

0:47:15 > 0:47:16of Los Angeles television news

0:47:16 > 0:47:18packs all of its local government coverage -

0:47:18 > 0:47:21including law enforcement, budget, transportation,

0:47:21 > 0:47:24education and immigration - into 22 seconds.

0:47:24 > 0:47:27Local crime stories, however, not only usually led the news,

0:47:27 > 0:47:28but filled 14 times the broadcast,

0:47:28 > 0:47:30averaging five minutes and seven seconds.

0:47:30 > 0:47:32KWLA relies heavily on such stories.

0:47:32 > 0:47:35With Los Angeles crime rates going down,

0:47:35 > 0:47:37I think that makes items like mine particularly valuable,

0:47:37 > 0:47:39like rare animals.

0:47:40 > 0:47:43I can only imagine that your needs will increase

0:47:43 > 0:47:45during next month's rating-sweeps' period.

0:47:46 > 0:47:49- Phew! - THEY LAUGH

0:47:50 > 0:47:54Yeah, well...we certainly appreciate what you do.

0:48:00 > 0:48:03There's certain good things about being alone.

0:48:05 > 0:48:08You have time to do the things you want to do, like study and plan.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11But you can't have dinners like this, or be physical with a person -

0:48:11 > 0:48:13I mean, outside of flirtationship.

0:48:15 > 0:48:17Where are you going with this?

0:48:19 > 0:48:21I want that...

0:48:22 > 0:48:24..with you.

0:48:27 > 0:48:30Like you want to keep your job and your health insurance.

0:48:32 > 0:48:35Look, just for starters,

0:48:35 > 0:48:37I don't need you to keep my fucking job.

0:48:38 > 0:48:41You're the news director on the vampire shift

0:48:41 > 0:48:44of the lowest-rated station in Los Angeles.

0:48:47 > 0:48:51We have what could be considered an almost exclusive relationship.

0:48:51 > 0:48:53There are many other places I could go.

0:48:54 > 0:48:57I have to think you're invested in this transaction.

0:48:57 > 0:48:59- Here you are.- (Wow.)

0:48:59 > 0:49:01- Enjoy.- Thank you.

0:49:04 > 0:49:08Where did you get the balls to even suggest something like this?

0:49:08 > 0:49:10We're still talking.

0:49:10 > 0:49:12- No, there's nothing more to say. - You can leave.

0:49:19 > 0:49:21OK, look,

0:49:21 > 0:49:24you've done well, OK?

0:49:24 > 0:49:27We pay you well - very well. We always have.

0:49:27 > 0:49:31If you like, I could get you an exclusive retainer -

0:49:31 > 0:49:34that would be on top of your segment fees.

0:49:34 > 0:49:36I could maybe even get you a job at the station,

0:49:36 > 0:49:38starting as a production assistant,

0:49:38 > 0:49:40so that you could learn the business from the inside -

0:49:40 > 0:49:43that's where you said your interests lie. Mm-hmm.

0:49:43 > 0:49:45You're not listening, Nina.

0:49:46 > 0:49:48I happen to know you haven't stayed at one station

0:49:48 > 0:49:50for longer than two years at a time

0:49:50 > 0:49:52and you're coming up on two years soon.

0:49:55 > 0:49:57I can imagine that your contract is for that length of time

0:49:57 > 0:50:00and that next month's ratings directly affect that.

0:50:00 > 0:50:03So you're threatening that if I don't...

0:50:03 > 0:50:06- I'm negotiating.- ..you're threatening to stop selling to me?

0:50:06 > 0:50:07That's YOUR choice.

0:50:08 > 0:50:11The true price of any item is what someone's willing to pay for it.

0:50:11 > 0:50:13You want something...

0:50:13 > 0:50:15and I want you.

0:50:15 > 0:50:16To fuck you.

0:50:16 > 0:50:18And as a friend.

0:50:18 > 0:50:22Jesus Christ. Friends don't pressure friends to fucking sleep with them.

0:50:23 > 0:50:25Actually, that's not true, Nina.

0:50:27 > 0:50:29Because, as I'm sure you know...

0:50:31 > 0:50:34...a friend is a gift you give yourself.

0:51:06 > 0:51:09OK, left on Roth and then six blocks to the ramp.

0:51:09 > 0:51:10You're putting me on the 5?

0:51:10 > 0:51:13Yeah, the 2 to the 5 then the 110 to the 10.

0:51:13 > 0:51:15Did you read my traffic memo yesterday?

0:51:15 > 0:51:16Did I read it?

0:51:17 > 0:51:19Yeah, I read it.

0:51:19 > 0:51:20What did it say?

0:51:20 > 0:51:23- About the 5? - OK, I looked at it. OK, what?

0:51:23 > 0:51:26Well, for one thing, it included that the 5 has floating construction

0:51:26 > 0:51:29in the fast lane for the next three weeks. So given that,

0:51:29 > 0:51:32I expect you to put me on the 2 to the 101 to the 110 to the 10.

0:51:32 > 0:51:33That's half of one, six of the other.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36It's half-dozen of one, six of the other. What I'd like you to do

0:51:36 > 0:51:38is admit that you didn't read what you said you did.

0:51:38 > 0:51:41You know I'm a reasonable person, but nobody likes to be lied to.

0:51:41 > 0:51:43OK, well, when am I going to get my raise?

0:51:43 > 0:51:44That's reasonable, right?

0:51:44 > 0:51:46You keep talking about this performance review -

0:51:46 > 0:51:47when's it going to happen?

0:51:47 > 0:51:50I've been out here two months already, busting my ass every night.

0:51:50 > 0:51:52I'm tired of your promises for more pay, man.

0:51:52 > 0:51:55- I'm sleeping in a garage... - Rick, trying to leverage your salary

0:51:55 > 0:51:57in this economic environment is near impossible.

0:51:57 > 0:51:59Most firms have set starting wages.

0:51:59 > 0:52:01Ideally, you could leverage with other offers,

0:52:01 > 0:52:04but that's just not the case in your situation right now. SCANNER BEEPS

0:55:54 > 0:55:55Yeah, but Laurel has places to pass.

0:55:55 > 0:55:58I can't get around this person until Ventura.

0:55:58 > 0:55:59It's the same argument. I said this route -

0:55:59 > 0:56:02if you wanted to take Laurel, you should have said something.

0:56:02 > 0:56:04I thought you worked in other factors!

0:56:04 > 0:56:05If I didn't think you could do better,

0:56:05 > 0:56:07I wouldn't ride you so hard about the routes.

0:56:07 > 0:56:09I think you know that, Rick.

0:56:09 > 0:56:11I think it may just be possible that I have a higher opinion of you

0:56:11 > 0:56:13than you have of yourself.

0:57:01 > 0:57:03What the hell happened?

0:57:04 > 0:57:07According to witnesses, they were driving at a high rate of speed,

0:57:07 > 0:57:09probably toward Griffith Park,

0:57:09 > 0:57:11when, apparently, they ran head-on into this light pole.

0:57:11 > 0:57:14No other cars. Single-vehicle.

0:57:14 > 0:57:16How do they just run into a pole?

1:02:35 > 1:02:38- What happened in there?- You should have walked in and looked, Rick,

1:02:38 > 1:02:39if you were half-curious.

1:02:39 > 1:02:42That's what I'm paying you to do. You need to show initiative.

1:04:39 > 1:04:42Home-invasion triple murder in Granada Hills.

1:04:42 > 1:04:44That's just breaking now.

1:04:44 > 1:04:46We got there before the police.

1:04:48 > 1:04:49You have it?

1:04:52 > 1:04:54I'm not going to list the many benefits of this piece.

1:04:54 > 1:04:57I think it's probably best if you just watch it for yourself.

1:04:57 > 1:05:00I could have had someone out there by now, why didn't you call it in?

1:05:00 > 1:05:03To increase your need and improve my bargaining position.

1:05:03 > 1:05:05Frank, Jenny - bay two, now.

1:05:33 > 1:05:35Get Linda in here.

1:05:46 > 1:05:49Home invasion in Granada. He got there before the cops.

1:05:49 > 1:05:52We have ten minutes to airtime - how much of this can we show?

1:05:52 > 1:05:54You mean legally?

1:05:54 > 1:05:56No, morally. Of course legally.

1:05:56 > 1:05:57Have they been identified?

1:05:57 > 1:05:59It just happened, so you have to assume no -

1:05:59 > 1:06:00and that's just one of the issues.

1:06:00 > 1:06:04We can't broadcast their identities without notifying the next of kin.

1:06:04 > 1:06:07- We're not identifying them.- You are by proxy by showing their faces.

1:06:07 > 1:06:09We pixelate the faces.

1:06:09 > 1:06:11- Where did you get this?- Stringer.

1:06:11 > 1:06:12Hi, Linda, I'm Lou.

1:06:12 > 1:06:15Oh, Jesus, is there a dead baby inside of there?

1:06:15 > 1:06:16No, the crib was empty.

1:06:16 > 1:06:19Oh, for Christ's sake - are we breaking the law by showing this?

1:06:21 > 1:06:24Block the faces, don't give out the exact address -

1:06:24 > 1:06:25do that, I guess...

1:06:25 > 1:06:28I don't know, I wouldn't think so, no.

1:06:28 > 1:06:31- Journalistically and ethically... - This isn't Hartford.

1:06:31 > 1:06:33..we are beyond all broadcast standards.

1:06:33 > 1:06:36Have you seen the overnights? I'll risk the fine.

1:06:36 > 1:06:38What did you pay for this?

1:06:38 > 1:06:41The price hasn't been negotiated yet.

1:06:41 > 1:06:43Oh, give us a minute. Thanks.

1:06:48 > 1:06:49How much?

1:06:49 > 1:06:50100,000.

1:06:50 > 1:06:52- How much?- 50,000.

1:06:52 > 1:06:54I need a number. Nine minutes. I need a number.

1:06:54 > 1:06:57- I just gave you two.- 3,000.

1:06:57 > 1:06:59I got 3,000 for the food-truck stabbings.

1:06:59 > 1:07:00There were more dead.

1:07:00 > 1:07:02Those were poor Mexican people in a roach coach.

1:07:02 > 1:07:03Two of them were illegals.

1:07:03 > 1:07:06These are three wealthy white people shot and killed in their mansion,

1:07:06 > 1:07:09including a suburban housewife shotgunned in her bed.

1:07:09 > 1:07:10I know you, Nina.

1:07:10 > 1:07:12I know your interest and excitement in this product

1:07:12 > 1:07:15is greater than the amount you're offering.

1:07:21 > 1:07:23- 5,000.- 30,000.

1:07:23 > 1:07:25- 7,000.- 25,000.- 8,000.- 15,000.

1:07:25 > 1:07:27- 9,000.- 15,000.

1:07:27 > 1:07:28- 10,000.- 15,000.

1:07:28 > 1:07:30Give me a serious number.

1:07:30 > 1:07:33- 15,000.- Can't do it. Never happen. There's the matter of precedent.

1:07:33 > 1:07:36- 10's my last, best offer.- OK.

1:07:36 > 1:07:39Really? Where are you going?

1:07:39 > 1:07:417's approached me at least several times.

1:07:41 > 1:07:43The ND there gave me his number.

1:07:43 > 1:07:45They'll make me a better offer.

1:07:45 > 1:07:47- It's a five-minute drive. - Hold on!

1:07:54 > 1:07:5512.

1:07:55 > 1:07:59- 15.- I can't spend a month's budget on a single story.

1:07:59 > 1:08:00What if the story's not over?

1:08:02 > 1:08:03The people who did this escaped.

1:08:03 > 1:08:06They're still out there, walking around with the rest of us.

1:08:06 > 1:08:09If I had a family and I lived in a home, that might make me nervous.

1:08:09 > 1:08:11I'd want updates on what was going on.

1:08:11 > 1:08:15With this footage, people would turn to your channel for the story.

1:08:15 > 1:08:16Now, I like you, Nina,

1:08:16 > 1:08:19and I look forward to our time together,

1:08:19 > 1:08:23but you have to understand - 15,000 isn't all that I want.

1:08:23 > 1:08:25From here on, starting now,

1:08:25 > 1:08:27I want my work to be credited by the anchors and on a burn.

1:08:27 > 1:08:30The name of my company is Video Production News,

1:08:30 > 1:08:32a professional news-gathering service.

1:08:32 > 1:08:34That's how it should be read and that's how it should be said.

1:08:34 > 1:08:37I also want to go to the next rung and meet your team

1:08:37 > 1:08:39and the station manager and the director and the anchors,

1:08:39 > 1:08:42and start developing my own personal relationships.

1:08:42 > 1:08:44I'd like to start meeting them this morning.

1:08:44 > 1:08:46You'll take me around, you'll introduce me as the owner

1:08:46 > 1:08:48and president of Video Production News

1:08:48 > 1:08:50and remind them of some of my many other stories.

1:08:50 > 1:08:53I'm not done. I also want to stop our discussion over prices.

1:08:53 > 1:08:56This will save time. So when I say a particular number is

1:08:56 > 1:08:58my lowest price, that's my lowest price and you can be assured that

1:08:58 > 1:09:01I arrived at whatever that number is very carefully.

1:09:01 > 1:09:04Now, when I say I want these things,

1:09:04 > 1:09:06I mean that I want them

1:09:06 > 1:09:08and I don't want to have to ask again.

1:09:08 > 1:09:10And the last thing that I want, Nina,

1:09:10 > 1:09:12is for you to do the things that I ask you to do

1:09:12 > 1:09:15when we're alone together in your apartment, not like the last time.

1:09:18 > 1:09:20So...

1:09:21 > 1:09:23I'll tell you what.

1:09:24 > 1:09:26I have the van crash on Moorpark tonight.

1:09:26 > 1:09:28It was a couple of stringers, actually.

1:09:28 > 1:09:31That could lead by itself on an average night.

1:09:31 > 1:09:33I'd be willing to throw that in for free.

1:09:35 > 1:09:37So what do you say? Do we have a deal?

1:09:41 > 1:09:43Lisa Mays, Ben Waterman - Lou Bloom.

1:09:43 > 1:09:46- Hi, pleasure to meet you.- Hi, how are you, Lisa? Pleasure, Ben.

1:09:46 > 1:09:48You remember Lou from the Benedict Canyon crash?

1:09:48 > 1:09:51- Oh, yeah - amazing stuff.- That was my company, Video Production News.

1:09:51 > 1:09:52- Great job.- I would just like to say

1:09:52 > 1:09:56that I think what the two of you do is incredibly valuable.

1:09:56 > 1:09:58- Thank you.- That's nice of you to say. We appreciate it.

1:09:58 > 1:10:01- BELL RINGS - I don't know how long this tape runs, we might dump out.

1:10:01 > 1:10:0420 seconds to back, Ben and Lisa, 20 seconds to back.

1:10:04 > 1:10:06Set up the sting to go to camera two on a two-shot.

1:10:06 > 1:10:07Where's the banner?

1:10:07 > 1:10:08Did we decide on one?

1:10:08 > 1:10:10"Horror house". What did we talk about?

1:10:10 > 1:10:13Can you bill that? Put it on CG1. Back in ten seconds.

1:10:13 > 1:10:17nine, eight, seven, six,

1:10:17 > 1:10:21five, four, three, two, one.

1:10:21 > 1:10:22Sting it.

1:10:24 > 1:10:26Lights, dissolve, cue.

1:10:26 > 1:10:28Hello, everybody. This is KWLA with breaking news.

1:10:28 > 1:10:31Over the last half hour or so, we've now received word of an apparent

1:10:31 > 1:10:34home-invasion triple homicide

1:10:34 > 1:10:36in the Granada Hills area of the San Fernando Valley.

1:10:36 > 1:10:39- Now, at present, the number of those dead...- Preset camera two.

1:10:39 > 1:10:41..hasn't been confirmed yet by the police, but KWLA

1:10:41 > 1:10:44has obtained exclusive footage from inside the crime scene,

1:10:44 > 1:10:47in which at least three bodies can be observed.

1:10:47 > 1:10:50Now, we're going to show you segments of that footage

1:10:50 > 1:10:53throughout the rest of this broadcast, of course, but also throughout the day...

1:10:53 > 1:10:56Lisa, I have a tape. When you're ready just throw to it, I'll follow you.

1:10:56 > 1:10:59Again, we're about to show you exclusive KWLA video

1:10:59 > 1:11:01from inside the actual crime scene.

1:11:01 > 1:11:03It's graphic - repeat it.

1:11:03 > 1:11:04Before broadcasting this video,

1:11:04 > 1:11:08we want to warn our viewers that these are extremely graphic images.

1:11:08 > 1:11:10I'm hearing from our control room that we have that video

1:11:10 > 1:11:13- and we're going to show it now. - Well, let's roll it now.

1:11:13 > 1:11:16This is footage that we've obtained exclusively by KWLA,

1:11:16 > 1:11:17from Video Production News.

1:11:17 > 1:11:19This is a professional news-gathering service.

1:11:19 > 1:11:21And this is what appears to be a shotgun -

1:11:21 > 1:11:23something you might use for home defence.

1:11:23 > 1:11:26You can see the pistol grips on the front and the back there -

1:11:26 > 1:11:27quite possibly the murder weapon.

1:11:27 > 1:11:30And now, Lisa, as we move inside... This is a beautiful home.

1:11:30 > 1:11:33A beautiful home in a very safe neighbourhood -

1:11:33 > 1:11:35or what most people think is a safe neighbourhood

1:11:35 > 1:11:38and it appears that that is the first body, on the sofa.

1:11:38 > 1:11:40A young woman, I'm guessing, from this angle.

1:11:40 > 1:11:41A young woman on a sofa, there.

1:11:41 > 1:11:44All of the faces, though, have been blurred out, we want to...

1:11:44 > 1:11:46They've escaped. They're on the loose.

1:11:46 > 1:11:48That is the first of what we understand are three bodies

1:11:48 > 1:11:50in the home in Granada Hills

1:11:50 > 1:11:52and this was committed by a suspect or suspects,

1:11:52 > 1:11:55who are still out there - they're believed to have escaped

1:11:55 > 1:11:58and if you think about that, that is a very frightening thought.

1:11:58 > 1:12:01- Repeat that.- Yes, scary and very concerning,

1:12:01 > 1:12:03particularly given what we're looking at here -

1:12:03 > 1:12:05the savagery of what these pictures show.

1:12:05 > 1:12:07And now, look, there on the floor, I'm guessing...

1:12:07 > 1:12:10What is that? A bloodied article bloodied article of clothing?

1:12:10 > 1:12:12Looks like a silk shirt, maybe a woman's silk blouse.

1:12:12 > 1:12:15- It's just so sad. Now, as we move to one of the bedrooms... - Standby to dissolve two.

1:12:15 > 1:12:18..and there, obviously, is the second body.

1:12:18 > 1:12:20- They've escaped - repeat it. - The person or people

1:12:20 > 1:12:23who committed all of this brutal home-invasion robbery -

1:12:23 > 1:12:26they're presently unidentified and at large, still on the streets...

1:12:26 > 1:12:28- Hit it again, harder. - ..this has got to be a huge worry -

1:12:28 > 1:12:30not only to the residents in this neighbourhood -

1:12:30 > 1:12:32the Granada Hills area...

1:12:32 > 1:12:34All of Los Angeles, if you think about it.

1:12:34 > 1:12:36The entire Southland, really, tonight, absolutely.

1:12:36 > 1:12:38An apparent family attacked, savagely killed.

1:12:38 > 1:12:42We believe this is their own home, in what is one of the quieter

1:12:42 > 1:12:45- and, frankly, more upscale and affluent neighbourhoods...- Roll A.

1:12:45 > 1:12:48- ..in the whole Valley... - In all of Los Angeles.

1:12:48 > 1:12:52- And now, as we're moving, this is a nursery and you hope...- Build it.

1:12:52 > 1:12:55- ..there's not a baby in that crib. - Yeah, you're just praying that

1:12:55 > 1:12:58that crib is empty, cos this is definitely a child's room.

1:12:58 > 1:13:00And now, as we look there... Thank goodness.

1:13:00 > 1:13:02In fact, our understanding right now

1:13:02 > 1:13:04is that there was no baby found in the house

1:13:04 > 1:13:08or any baby that was seen at all by the people who filmed this for us.

1:13:08 > 1:13:10That's Video News -

1:13:10 > 1:13:12this is a professional news-gathering service that we use.

1:13:12 > 1:13:15Apparently, what we're hearing from their photographer

1:13:15 > 1:13:18is that they arrived even before the police did

1:13:18 > 1:13:20and then entered this home to help,

1:13:20 > 1:13:22or at least offer some sort of assistance

1:13:22 > 1:13:24and then came upon what you're looking at here -

1:13:24 > 1:13:26- the gruesome crime scene. - They came upon three bodies.

1:13:26 > 1:13:29- And that right there is the third body.- ..is the third body.

1:13:29 > 1:13:32And obviously, this is a man, grey hair... What would you think, Lisa?

1:13:32 > 1:13:34- Maybe 40s, 50s?- Yeah, 50s... - Vicious attack.

1:13:34 > 1:13:36..and the only thought I have, we've been looking at

1:13:36 > 1:13:39all this graphic footage and just the viciousness,

1:13:39 > 1:13:40the severity of the violence.

1:13:40 > 1:13:42Standby, we're going to come to a break here.

1:13:42 > 1:13:45We're going to commercial then cutting to Joel and a police statement.

1:13:45 > 1:13:47And I'm getting word right now that the police

1:13:47 > 1:13:49are getting ready to issue a statement from the scene...

1:13:49 > 1:13:52- Ready camera two. - ..and Joel Beatty is there for that

1:13:52 > 1:13:55- and I think right now we're going to take a quick break...- Take two.

1:14:22 > 1:14:23- Heads up, you guys...- I got to go.

1:14:23 > 1:14:26..the police spokesman's making an announcement in 60 seconds.

1:14:26 > 1:14:28Nina, we are getting a tonne of heat

1:14:28 > 1:14:30from the police out here about that video.

1:14:30 > 1:14:32- Tell them to call the station. - 15 seconds.

1:14:32 > 1:14:35They want to talk to the person who shot it.

1:14:35 > 1:14:37I shot it. Joel, it's Video Production News.

1:14:37 > 1:14:39Tell them to call me.

1:14:39 > 1:14:40Lou, they can't hear you.

1:14:40 > 1:14:43Coming back in five, four,

1:14:43 > 1:14:45three, two, one...

1:14:45 > 1:14:47Fade up.

1:14:51 > 1:14:55'We have more information coming in from the Granada Hills area

1:14:55 > 1:14:57'and the scene of an apparent home invasion

1:14:57 > 1:15:00'that has left a husband and wife and their housekeeper...

1:15:00 > 1:15:02What we know at the moment is that at some time

1:15:02 > 1:15:05around five this morning, gunmen broke into this upscale...

1:15:05 > 1:15:07..are disturbed and concerned by the brutal triple murder...

1:15:07 > 1:15:10..the way we got it, though, is the video production crew

1:15:10 > 1:15:11that we work with from time to time.

1:15:11 > 1:15:14They apparently arrived on the scene in Granada Hills

1:15:14 > 1:15:16- before the police ever got there... - Before anybody.

1:15:16 > 1:15:19..and the photographer who took those pictures told us earlier

1:15:19 > 1:15:23that he walked up to the door - he saw what we all saw in his videotape

1:15:23 > 1:15:25and he then started to look inside,

1:15:25 > 1:15:27so that he could help or render assistance to someone.

1:15:27 > 1:15:30That's when he walked into the house and started shooting the video...

1:15:30 > 1:15:31KNOCKING

1:15:31 > 1:15:34He found the three deceased in the house, the two females...

1:15:34 > 1:15:36HE SWITCHES THE TV OFF

1:15:45 > 1:15:48- Hello.- Hi, I'm Detective Frontieri.

1:15:48 > 1:15:50This is my partner, Detective Lieberman.

1:15:50 > 1:15:52- Are you Louis Bloom?- Yes, I'm Lou.

1:15:52 > 1:15:54You live here?

1:15:54 > 1:15:56- Yes, that's right. - May we come inside?

1:15:56 > 1:15:58- Why?- Why not?- You want to?

1:15:58 > 1:16:00- Yes.- I don't care.

1:16:00 > 1:16:01Wonderful.

1:16:06 > 1:16:09- You were in Granada Hills last night.- Yes, that's right.

1:16:09 > 1:16:11You shot the video in the house?

1:16:11 > 1:16:14Yes, ma'am. I did. That's right.

1:16:14 > 1:16:18You went inside the house, you filmed all through the house -

1:16:18 > 1:16:19you even filmed the bodies.

1:16:19 > 1:16:21All before the police came.

1:16:21 > 1:16:23- That door was open, ma'am... - Detective.

1:16:23 > 1:16:26The door was open and what I did was,

1:16:26 > 1:16:29I went in to see if I could help, because the alarm was ringing.

1:16:29 > 1:16:30An active crime scene.

1:16:30 > 1:16:32I didn't know it was a crime scene.

1:16:32 > 1:16:34You knew what it was.

1:16:34 > 1:16:36I know that an alarm means someone's in trouble.

1:16:36 > 1:16:38And you sold it to be shown on TV.

1:16:38 > 1:16:41We're a professional news-gathering service.

1:16:41 > 1:16:43What did you see when you arrived?

1:16:43 > 1:16:45Uh, two men leaving in a vehicle.

1:16:45 > 1:16:48- You saw two men? - They were just shapes, really.

1:16:48 > 1:16:51I was afraid, so I hid and then I saw the shapes of two men,

1:16:51 > 1:16:53moving inside the vehicle, if that helps.

1:16:53 > 1:16:55Describe the men.

1:16:55 > 1:16:57It was dark and then they drove away, I...

1:16:57 > 1:16:59- Black, white, tall...? - I couldn't see.

1:16:59 > 1:17:01What were they driving?

1:17:01 > 1:17:04An SUV - dark coloured.

1:17:04 > 1:17:06Rims, tinted windows?

1:17:06 > 1:17:08Maybe - not that I saw.

1:17:08 > 1:17:10Do you have any film on the men or the car?

1:17:10 > 1:17:13No, I don't. I only started filming when I was inside.

1:17:14 > 1:17:16I'd like a copy of that footage.

1:17:16 > 1:17:18Do I have to give it to you?

1:17:18 > 1:17:21Is there any reason why you wouldn't?

1:17:21 > 1:17:24No, no. I made you a copy. I expected someone to come.

1:17:34 > 1:17:36GUNSHOTS ON VIDEO

1:18:30 > 1:18:31What's up, man?

1:18:32 > 1:18:35I'm tired. Aren't you tired?

1:18:35 > 1:18:37Why are we starting so early?

1:18:37 > 1:18:40One of the people in the house last night was alive.

1:18:42 > 1:18:44I cut that part out.

1:18:44 > 1:18:46I also cut out the men leaving in their car.

1:18:46 > 1:18:48I have a name and an address. We're going to drive there,

1:18:48 > 1:18:52we're going to find the person that drove that car.

1:18:52 > 1:18:54So you know who killed those people?

1:18:54 > 1:18:56One of them, quite possibly, yes.

1:18:58 > 1:18:59You got to call the cops.

1:18:59 > 1:19:01And we will - at the right time.

1:19:09 > 1:19:13I'm offering you a real opportunity here, Rick.

1:19:13 > 1:19:14To do what?

1:19:18 > 1:19:22I don't usually share my business plan with you...

1:19:22 > 1:19:25but a moment has arrived that could allow the company

1:19:25 > 1:19:27to make enough money to expand to the next level.

1:19:29 > 1:19:30We could call this...

1:19:34 > 1:19:35..the critical moment.

1:19:36 > 1:19:38I'm inviting you, Rick,

1:19:38 > 1:19:41to be a part of the team that pounces on this opportunity.

1:19:41 > 1:19:44You've been asking a lot about your performance review.

1:19:44 > 1:19:46- Yeah.- Well...

1:19:46 > 1:19:49for starters...

1:19:49 > 1:19:50I've been seeing a great improvement

1:19:50 > 1:19:53in your overall focus and order following.

1:19:53 > 1:19:54Given complex problems,

1:19:54 > 1:19:57you're developing a real ability to find clear and simple solutions.

1:19:57 > 1:20:00I'm also aware of your increased enthusiasm.

1:20:00 > 1:20:02It's great to see your eyes light up when you're working on a new idea.

1:20:02 > 1:20:04I hope you'll be inspiring us

1:20:04 > 1:20:07with your innovative thinking for years to come.

1:20:08 > 1:20:10Thank you, man. I'm trying, you know?

1:20:12 > 1:20:14Which is why I'm promoting you

1:20:14 > 1:20:18to executive vice president of Video News.

1:20:21 > 1:20:22What am I now?

1:20:23 > 1:20:25You're an assistant.

1:20:27 > 1:20:28That's...

1:20:34 > 1:20:36Does it come with a raise?

1:20:36 > 1:20:38Absolutely.

1:20:38 > 1:20:39How much?

1:20:41 > 1:20:43Pick a number. You pick a number.

1:20:48 > 1:20:50A hun...hun...

1:20:52 > 1:20:56..75...a night.

1:20:58 > 1:20:59Agreed.

1:21:00 > 1:21:03Wait, uh, what about more, you know?

1:21:03 > 1:21:04Not now.

1:21:04 > 1:21:06We closed the deal.

1:21:09 > 1:21:11I could've gotten more, couldn't I?

1:21:11 > 1:21:12Absolutely.

1:21:15 > 1:21:17It's coming up on the left -

1:21:17 > 1:21:19halfway down the block.

1:21:19 > 1:21:211701 North Burns.

1:21:31 > 1:21:32Is that the car?

1:21:32 > 1:21:34- That's the car.- Oh, shit.

1:21:55 > 1:21:57You think there's a reward?

1:21:57 > 1:21:58There is a reward.

1:21:58 > 1:22:00- How much?- 50,000.

1:22:02 > 1:22:03Do I get any of that?

1:22:03 > 1:22:05I just gave you a raise.

1:22:06 > 1:22:09That's like, salary - I mean like a bonus, you know?

1:22:09 > 1:22:11Bonuses come at the end of the year.

1:22:19 > 1:22:21- So we're going to call it in? - We're going to wait.

1:22:21 > 1:22:24- For what?- First, we want to see if he's actually inside.

1:22:24 > 1:22:26Then we want to find a more interesting place

1:22:26 > 1:22:28to film the arrest.

1:22:28 > 1:22:29Like where?

1:22:31 > 1:22:33Anywhere we want.

1:22:33 > 1:22:34What we're going to do is,

1:22:34 > 1:22:37we're going to wait and then we're going to follow him.

1:22:37 > 1:22:39And then when he reaches what would be considered a better

1:22:39 > 1:22:41or more populated neighbourhood,

1:22:41 > 1:22:43then we'll report his location to the police.

1:22:43 > 1:22:44He's a violent, wanted criminal.

1:22:44 > 1:22:47I can't believe that he's just going to peacefully surrender.

1:22:53 > 1:22:55OK, I want more money -

1:22:55 > 1:22:57a lot more.

1:23:05 > 1:23:07What makes a job desirable, Rick,

1:23:07 > 1:23:09isn't just the dollar amount attached to it.

1:23:09 > 1:23:11You're at the ground floor of a growing business.

1:23:11 > 1:23:13Your reward is a career.

1:23:13 > 1:23:16Fuck that. You're talking about some seriously messed-up shit -

1:23:16 > 1:23:19and you're just expecting me to just go along with it.

1:23:19 > 1:23:21- I want more.- I can't make people do things, Rick.

1:23:21 > 1:23:23You have a choice if you want to do this

1:23:23 > 1:23:25and I have a choice if you don't.

1:23:26 > 1:23:29You threatening to fire me?

1:23:29 > 1:23:30Hey, I got something too.

1:23:30 > 1:23:33How about not calling criminals, waiting for them to start some shit

1:23:33 > 1:23:36so you can film it - that's against the fucking law.

1:23:36 > 1:23:39Yeah, cops would be majorly interested in that, no doubt.

1:23:39 > 1:23:41OK? So I...I want more money.

1:23:45 > 1:23:47We can reopen negotiations, Rick,

1:23:47 > 1:23:50but remember, when it comes to your work reputation,

1:23:50 > 1:23:53you can't un-ring the bell.

1:23:53 > 1:23:56Well, I want half of whatever we make tonight.

1:23:56 > 1:23:59How did you arrive at that number?

1:23:59 > 1:24:01There's two of us sat here.

1:24:01 > 1:24:03So, 50-50.

1:24:03 > 1:24:05I'll counter at 10,000.

1:24:05 > 1:24:08You don't set the numbers on this. I want half. I want half.

1:24:09 > 1:24:12If you're saying I can't negotiate, then I guess I'm...

1:24:20 > 1:24:22..just going to have to give it to you.

1:24:25 > 1:24:26Well, all right, then.

1:24:28 > 1:24:30Now I can feel good about it.

1:24:30 > 1:24:32At least now, I can... I'll go the extra mile.

1:24:33 > 1:24:35That's what you never understood, man,

1:24:35 > 1:24:37that's been the problem the whole time.

1:24:38 > 1:24:41You got to bring people in, Lou, seriously.

1:24:41 > 1:24:43You got to talk to them like they're fucking human beings.

1:24:43 > 1:24:47I'm saying this for you, dude, for the future, to help you.

1:24:47 > 1:24:50Cos you got a seriously weird-ass way of looking at shit.

1:24:50 > 1:24:52You know you do.

1:24:53 > 1:24:55I mean, you know what your trouble is, man?

1:24:55 > 1:24:57You don't fucking understand people.

1:24:58 > 1:25:00- OK?- Mm-hmm.

1:25:02 > 1:25:04I'll take the first watch.

1:25:05 > 1:25:07(OK.)

1:25:23 > 1:25:25DOOR OPENS

1:25:30 > 1:25:31Rise and shine.

1:25:32 > 1:25:34He's leaving.

1:25:34 > 1:25:36CAR DOOR UNLOCKS

1:25:37 > 1:25:38Is that him?

1:25:38 > 1:25:39That's one of them.

1:25:50 > 1:25:52ENGINE STARTS

1:26:21 > 1:26:23You're too fucking close, man.

1:26:23 > 1:26:24Oh, shit...

1:26:26 > 1:26:27You're too fucking close.

1:26:27 > 1:26:30This guy might've already seen us and he's bringing us here as a trap.

1:26:32 > 1:26:33You ever think of that?

1:26:38 > 1:26:39Oh, shit.

1:27:17 > 1:27:20They're going to see us - we're in a red fucking car.

1:27:22 > 1:27:24Lower your window, please.

1:27:43 > 1:27:45ENGINE STARTS

1:27:53 > 1:27:55- Keep your window down. - I'm fucking cold.

1:28:05 > 1:28:07Shit, they're parking.

1:28:07 > 1:28:08Keep going.

1:28:20 > 1:28:22DIALLING TONE

1:28:26 > 1:28:28'911, what's your emergency?'

1:28:28 > 1:28:29Yes, good evening, hello.

1:28:29 > 1:28:31I'd like to report the location of two men responsible

1:28:31 > 1:28:34for the triple murder in Granada Hills last night.

1:28:34 > 1:28:36- 'What's your address?'- I followed them and they just pulled into

1:28:36 > 1:28:39the Chinatown Express at Western and 3rd.

1:28:39 > 1:28:40I can see them inside.

1:28:40 > 1:28:43'OK, it's a restaurant called Chinatown Express at Western and 3rd?'

1:28:43 > 1:28:46That's right. I can see them at the counter and they're ordering.

1:28:46 > 1:28:50- These men are wanted for the triple murder in Granada Hills last night. - 'What's your name, sir?'

1:28:50 > 1:28:52- Louis Bloom.- 'Do you have a description of the men?'

1:28:52 > 1:28:54Yes, I do. They're both Latin American men,

1:28:54 > 1:28:57probably what you would call Hispanic.

1:28:57 > 1:28:59One's big, very much on the heavy side

1:28:59 > 1:29:02and the other's face is scratched. He has scratches on his face.

1:29:02 > 1:29:04'How old are the men?'

1:29:04 > 1:29:0730... Perhaps, maybe 35.

1:29:07 > 1:29:09'What are they wearing?'

1:29:09 > 1:29:11The big man's wearing light pants and a striped sweater

1:29:11 > 1:29:14and the man with the scratches is wearing brown pants and a vest -

1:29:14 > 1:29:16he looks like he has a...gun.

1:29:18 > 1:29:20- 'You say the suspect is armed?' - I believe so, yes.

1:29:20 > 1:29:23I'm sorry, I have to go, otherwise they might see me.

1:29:28 > 1:29:31SCANNER CHATTER

1:29:34 > 1:29:37'All Wilshire units, possible 187 suspects

1:29:37 > 1:29:40'are now at Western and 3rd at the Chinatown Express.

1:29:40 > 1:29:43'Suspects are two male Hispanics. Number one - large build,

1:29:43 > 1:29:45'number two with scratches on his face -

1:29:45 > 1:29:47'inside the location, possibly armed.

1:29:47 > 1:29:50'Code 3, incident 3-5-7 and RD 7-53.'

1:29:50 > 1:29:52There's fucking people in there.

1:29:52 > 1:29:55I count...six.

1:29:55 > 1:29:58Oh, shit. They could start shooting.

1:29:58 > 1:29:59They could.

1:29:59 > 1:30:02You said we were waiting for a better neighbourhood

1:30:02 > 1:30:04with more people - not a fucking restaurant.

1:30:04 > 1:30:06We work with what we're given.

1:30:06 > 1:30:09You're going to go down the street and get an angle inside,

1:30:09 > 1:30:11from over there.

1:30:11 > 1:30:14Steady hands, use the zoom, no fast pans.

1:30:14 > 1:30:15I'll be filming from here.

1:30:15 > 1:30:18Fuck that, I'm not getting out the car!

1:30:20 > 1:30:22I need a second angle from down the street.

1:30:22 > 1:30:25We'll cut it together - two angles.

1:30:25 > 1:30:28Believe me, it's more dangerous here in the car.

1:30:28 > 1:30:29I don't believe anything you say.

1:30:29 > 1:30:32Man, this is fucked!

1:30:32 > 1:30:34Do you know, I've never once sworn in front of an employer?

1:30:34 > 1:30:37I'm not doing it - I'm not getting out the car.

1:30:37 > 1:30:39You're making a mistake.

1:30:39 > 1:30:41I don't care about the fucking job title.

1:30:47 > 1:30:49What if my problem wasn't that I don't understand people,

1:30:49 > 1:30:51but that I don't like them?

1:30:54 > 1:30:57What if I was obliged to hurt you for something like this?

1:30:58 > 1:31:00I mean, physically.

1:31:01 > 1:31:04I think you'd have to believe afterwards, if you could,

1:31:04 > 1:31:06that agreeing to participate...

1:31:06 > 1:31:10and then backing out at the critical moment was a mistake.

1:31:10 > 1:31:12Because that's what I'm telling you....

1:31:15 > 1:31:17..as clearly...

1:31:19 > 1:31:20..as I can.

1:32:36 > 1:32:39'78-14, we're Code 6 to location.'

1:33:40 > 1:33:42Oh, God...

1:33:51 > 1:33:5378-21, we're Code 6 to 78-14.

1:39:25 > 1:39:28You took my bargaining power, Rick.

1:39:28 > 1:39:29You used it against me.

1:39:29 > 1:39:32You would have done it again. Just admit it.

1:39:34 > 1:39:36I don't know...

1:39:38 > 1:39:40I don't know...

1:39:40 > 1:39:41I know.

1:39:44 > 1:39:45(I know.)

1:40:36 > 1:40:39- Hey - it's Lou, right? - Yes, that's right.

1:40:39 > 1:40:41- Video News?- That's right. - Got something good for us tonight?

1:40:41 > 1:40:44I think so. I'm about to show Nina, right now.

1:41:37 > 1:41:39As a matter of fact, that's him.

1:41:41 > 1:41:44Well, I'm floored.

1:41:44 > 1:41:45I mean, it's amazing.

1:41:47 > 1:41:48Thank you.

1:41:49 > 1:41:52I mean, just amazing...

1:41:54 > 1:41:56Thank you.

1:41:56 > 1:41:58No, thank you.

1:41:59 > 1:42:00Thank you for bringing it to me.

1:42:02 > 1:42:03You're welcome.

1:42:05 > 1:42:07I want it, obviously.

1:42:07 > 1:42:08How much do you want it?

1:42:10 > 1:42:12You tell me.

1:42:14 > 1:42:16Get this to graphics.

1:42:16 > 1:42:18- Who's in charge here?- Who are you?

1:42:18 > 1:42:20LAPD, major case.

1:42:20 > 1:42:24- Pull the footage from these screens. Round it up. Let's go - all copies. - Excuse me...

1:42:24 > 1:42:26I'm the news director, can I help you?

1:42:26 > 1:42:29You can help yourself, by collecting up every copy of the shoot-out,

1:42:29 > 1:42:32- the chase, the crash - all of it, now.- It's KWLA property.

1:42:32 > 1:42:34- It's evidence.- Of what?

1:42:34 > 1:42:37I got a cop near death in the hospital,

1:42:37 > 1:42:38three dead, four wounded

1:42:38 > 1:42:41and a dozen major crimes stretching a mile of Third.

1:42:41 > 1:42:42This tape is evidence.

1:42:42 > 1:42:45It's news footage, bought and paid for from an independent contractor.

1:42:45 > 1:42:48- And how do you think he got it? - If there's an issue, speak to him.

1:42:48 > 1:42:49Don't get in the way of this.

1:42:49 > 1:42:52Unless you have a judge's order, we're going with it in four minutes.

1:42:52 > 1:42:54Hey, isn't that him?

1:42:56 > 1:42:59BELL RINGS

1:42:59 > 1:43:00Camera one, stay centred up.

1:43:02 > 1:43:06Camera two, we'll do a zoom out when we come out.

1:43:06 > 1:43:08Joel's got a source on the task force who says

1:43:08 > 1:43:10they've found drugs at the Granada Hills house.

1:43:10 > 1:43:13Cocaine in wrapped packages, hidden in crawl spaces - over 50lb.

1:43:13 > 1:43:16And he confirmed it with an investigator at the scene.

1:43:16 > 1:43:19It wasn't a home invasion, it was a drug robbery.

1:43:19 > 1:43:20Give it to the noon crew.

1:43:22 > 1:43:24- This is news. - It detracts from the story.

1:43:24 > 1:43:26It IS the story.

1:43:26 > 1:43:29The story is urban crime creeping into the suburbs.

1:43:29 > 1:43:31That's the story.

1:43:31 > 1:43:34- Jesus, you sound like Lou. - Ten seconds to back...

1:43:34 > 1:43:38I think Lou is inspiring all of us to reach a little higher.

1:43:38 > 1:43:42..five, four, three, two, one...

1:43:42 > 1:43:43Sting it.

1:43:44 > 1:43:46Lights, dissolve...

1:43:57 > 1:43:59You understand that you've been read your rights

1:43:59 > 1:44:01and you're here voluntarily?

1:44:01 > 1:44:03That's right, yes.

1:44:03 > 1:44:06And this is being recorded and filmed?

1:44:06 > 1:44:08Yes, from the camera up there -

1:44:08 > 1:44:10in wide angle.

1:44:10 > 1:44:12Hmm.

1:44:14 > 1:44:16Would you tell me how it is

1:44:16 > 1:44:19you were at the Chinatown Express tonight and called the 911?

1:44:19 > 1:44:21Of course - it began earlier in the day.

1:44:23 > 1:44:25I was watering my plant.

1:44:26 > 1:44:29I looked out my window, at my apartment -

1:44:29 > 1:44:31the one you visited -

1:44:31 > 1:44:34and I saw a dark-coloured vehicle with two men inside,

1:44:34 > 1:44:36parked across the street. I didn't think anything of it,

1:44:36 > 1:44:39otherwise I would have reported it then.

1:44:39 > 1:44:41We began our night, my...

1:44:44 > 1:44:45..employee and myself...

1:44:46 > 1:44:49..and around approximately 12:38,

1:44:49 > 1:44:52I looked in my rear-view mirror and I saw what looked like

1:44:52 > 1:44:55the same men in the same vehicle, following us.

1:44:55 > 1:44:58I made an evasive manoeuvre, circled back

1:44:58 > 1:44:59and tailed them to the restaurant,

1:44:59 > 1:45:02at which point I saw them go inside and recognised them

1:45:02 > 1:45:04as the same men from the home invasion.

1:45:05 > 1:45:07You told me you didn't see the men,

1:45:07 > 1:45:09that you didn't get a good look at them.

1:45:09 > 1:45:11Well, it all came back to me when I saw them going in -

1:45:11 > 1:45:14their shapes and their movements.

1:45:14 > 1:45:17And then I saw that one of the men had a gun under his shirt

1:45:17 > 1:45:20and so, I immediately got my phone and dialled 911.

1:45:20 > 1:45:21That's your story?

1:45:21 > 1:45:24That's what happened. That's why I'm sitting here with you.

1:45:24 > 1:45:28I think that the men saw my footage and they tracked me down.

1:45:29 > 1:45:31You want to know what I think?

1:45:32 > 1:45:33Yes, please.

1:45:34 > 1:45:37I think you withheld information.

1:45:37 > 1:45:41I think you saw the two men in the murder house in Granada Hills

1:45:41 > 1:45:42and you saw the car

1:45:42 > 1:45:45and you sat on it -

1:45:45 > 1:45:47to get something you could film.

1:45:47 > 1:45:49What do you think about that?

1:45:51 > 1:45:53I think that would be...

1:45:53 > 1:45:55a very unprofessional thing for me to do in my business.

1:45:55 > 1:45:57It would be murder.

1:45:57 > 1:45:59I can understand why you're looking into it,

1:45:59 > 1:46:02but I didn't do anything like that - nothing that could be considered wrong.

1:46:02 > 1:46:05- You don't fool me for a minute. - I'm glad.

1:46:05 > 1:46:08I think everything you've said is a lie.

1:46:08 > 1:46:10I wish my partner was here to back up what happened.

1:46:10 > 1:46:12You left your dead partner.

1:46:12 > 1:46:15The ambulances arrived. They're trained professionals.

1:46:15 > 1:46:18Yeah, and you seem real broken up about that.

1:46:18 > 1:46:20No, he died doing what he loved.

1:46:22 > 1:46:24You filmed him dying.

1:46:26 > 1:46:28Hey, that's what I do, it's my job.

1:46:28 > 1:46:30I like to say that if you're seeing me,

1:46:30 > 1:46:32you're having the worst day of your life(!)
