TRAIN HORN TOOTS

0:02:070:02:09

What are you doing out here?

0:02:320:02:34

I'm lost.

0:02:350:02:36

This is a restricted area.

0:02:360:02:38

Oh, I didn't know that. There's no signs.

0:02:380:02:40

They're everywhere.

0:02:400:02:42

Let's see some ID.

0:02:420:02:44

Why?

0:02:440:02:46

There's a broken gate back there, you're trespassing.

0:02:460:02:48

Excuse me, sir, that gate was open

0:02:480:02:50

and I was under the opinion that this was a detour.

0:02:500:02:53

Let me see the ID. Take it out.

0:02:530:02:54

What kind of uniform is that?

0:02:540:02:56

I'll ask the fucking questions.

0:02:560:02:59

It's a private outfit, huh?

0:02:590:03:00

-I tried to get one of those jobs. I like guarding things.

-Really(?)

0:03:010:03:05

Here you go, sir. I think what must have happened is,

0:03:060:03:09

I just must have gotten turned around, or...

0:03:090:03:12

TRAIN HORN

RADIO CHATTER

0:03:180:03:20

I guesstimate that I have about 50lb of copper wire,

0:03:460:03:49

100lb of chain-link fence

0:03:490:03:51

and two manhole covers - the nice thick ones.

0:03:510:03:53

I'll give 50 cents a pound for the wire, 15 for the fence

0:03:530:03:56

and ten for the covers.

0:03:560:03:57

That's below market value.

0:03:570:03:59

Market value?

0:03:590:04:00

You know the cops came by, asking about manhole covers?

0:04:000:04:03

I'd like to counter at a dollar a pound for the copper,

0:04:030:04:06

30 cents a pound for the fence

0:04:060:04:08

and 20 cents per for the covers.

0:04:080:04:10

Sell them somewhere else.

0:04:100:04:11

I'd feel good at 75, 25 and 15.

0:04:110:04:13

I'm not negotiating with you.

0:04:130:04:14

-I think we're close.

-I'm done.

0:04:140:04:16

I'm willing to take less to establish a business relationship.

0:04:230:04:25

If that's your last best offer, then I guess I accept.

0:04:250:04:28

All right. Drive around back and unload them.

0:04:280:04:30

Excuse me, sir?

0:04:320:04:33

I'm looking for a job.

0:04:350:04:36

In fact, I've made up my mind

0:04:360:04:38

to find a career that I can learn and grow into.

0:04:380:04:40

Who am I? I'm a hard worker.

0:04:400:04:42

I set high goals and I've been told that I'm persistent.

0:04:420:04:45

Now, I'm not fooling myself, sir.

0:04:450:04:46

Having been raised with the self-esteem movement

0:04:460:04:48

so popular in schools, I used to expect my needs to be considered.

0:04:480:04:51

But I know that today's work culture no longer caters to the job loyalty

0:04:510:04:54

that could be promised to earlier generations.

0:04:540:04:56

What I believe, sir, is that good things come

0:04:560:04:58

to those who work their asses off, and that people such as yourself,

0:04:580:05:01

who reached the top of the mountain, didn't just fall there.

0:05:010:05:03

My motto is, "If you want to win the lottery,

0:05:030:05:05

"you have to make the money to buy a ticket."

0:05:050:05:07

Did I say that I worked in a garage?

0:05:070:05:09

So, what do you say?

0:05:110:05:13

I could start tomorrow, or even why not tonight?

0:05:130:05:15

No.

0:05:150:05:17

How about an internship, then?

0:05:250:05:27

A lot of young people are taking unpaid positions to get a foot in the door.

0:05:270:05:30

That's something I'd be willing to do.

0:05:300:05:32

I'm not hiring a fucking thief.

-No shit. Get a shot on the other side.

0:06:460:06:49

All right, all right.

0:06:490:06:51

Get a shot inside the car.

0:06:530:06:54

Go around, get inside the car - the fuck I'm paying you for?

0:06:580:07:01

-Get back, Loder. Get back, get back.

-I'm back, I'm back, I'm back.

0:07:290:07:32

Excuse me?

0:07:350:07:37

Will this be on television?

0:07:370:07:39

Morning news. If it bleeds, it leads.

0:07:390:07:41

What channel?

0:07:410:07:43

Whoever pays the most.

0:07:430:07:44

What do you get for something like this?

0:07:440:07:47

Not nearly enough.

0:07:480:07:50

Enough to buy all that gear.

0:07:540:07:56

Let me tell you something.

0:07:560:07:58

It's a flaming asshole of a job.

0:07:580:08:00

Can I ask you, are you currently hiring?

0:08:010:08:03

Fuck no.

0:08:050:08:06

Well...

0:08:070:08:08

TV NEWS FANFARE

0:09:150:09:17

Live from the CBS Broadcast Center in Los Angeles,

0:09:170:09:21

this is CBS2 News at 6am -

0:09:210:09:24

coverage you can count on.

0:09:240:09:26

Good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us. I'm Pat Harvey.

0:09:280:09:31

Hope your day's getting off to a good start. I'm Kent Shocknek.

0:09:310:09:33

An unclaimed mega-millions ticket sold at a 7-11 in south San Diego

0:09:330:09:37

is worth a whopping 266 million.

0:09:370:09:39

The question is, is it yours?

0:09:390:09:41

We'll have the numbers coming up...

0:09:410:09:43

..evidence has police hunting for one of their own.

0:09:430:09:45

A fast-moving bank robber in Sylmar didn't move fast enough

A landmark court decision, Lisa, has cyber-music fans singing the blues.

0:09:500:09:54

Ouch! I may have to budget more for my music!

0:09:540:09:57

..closet space...

0:09:570:09:58

..twisted metal, a shattered life, all of it caught on tape last night,

0:09:580:10:02

at the scene of a fiery one-car collision, out on the 110.

0:10:020:10:05

Melinda Flores of Yorba Linda. She was severely injured,

0:10:050:10:08

but somehow managed to escape with her life,

0:10:080:10:10

thanks to the bravery of a couple of CHP officers.

0:10:100:10:13

The crash started a fire that then quickly consumed the entire vehicle.

0:10:130:10:16

And, as we see in this dramatic video,

0:10:160:10:19

CHP officers Mike Tully and John Wall

0:10:190:10:21

risked their lives to save the single mom.

0:10:210:10:23

Flores was transferred to St Joseph's hospital

0:10:230:10:26

in serious but stable condition, after suffering smoke inhalation.

LOCK CLICKS

0:10:530:10:55

I don't know.

0:11:090:11:10

I'll give you 500.

0:11:100:11:11

This is a custom racing bicycle, sir,

0:11:110:11:13

designed for competitive road cycling.

0:11:130:11:15

This bike has a lightweight, space-age carbon frame

0:11:150:11:17

and handlebars positioned to put the rider in a more aerodynamic posture.

0:11:170:11:21

It also has micro-shifters and 37 gears and weighs under 6lb.

0:11:210:11:24

I won the Tour de Mexico on this bike.

0:11:240:11:26

700 is as high as I'll go.

0:11:260:11:28

-It cost me over 8,000 new.

-700.

0:11:300:11:32

2,500 and that's giving it away.

0:11:320:11:34

No bike's got 37 gears.

0:11:340:11:35

2,000?

0:11:370:11:39

No.

0:11:390:11:41

Could I please speak to your boss, please?

0:11:410:11:43

I'm the owner.

0:11:430:11:44

How about 800 in store credit?

0:11:470:11:50

Fucking asshole, you shut it down.

0:14:270:14:29

I had a great fucking angle back there, till you crowded in.

0:14:290:14:31

Get the fuck home. There's people trying to do their fucking job.

0:14:310:14:34

Fucking asshole.

0:14:340:14:35

Yeah, it's Ace Video. Your lead's going to be at 1st and Western.

0:14:380:14:41

Yeah, you want to get there.

0:14:410:14:42

It's a shooting. I got some great footage of a victim being treated.

0:14:420:14:45

No, the LAPD hasn't released it, but a manager at a Walgreens

0:14:470:14:49

says it's a carjacking and the victim is the owner.

0:14:490:14:51

He's Asian and critical. All right.

0:14:510:14:54

Look, I got a 60-second cut with the manager and a neighbour.

0:14:540:14:57

500. Well, then, make me a deal - 400.

0:14:580:15:01

300? All right, deal.

0:15:020:15:03

Are you fucking kidding me?

0:15:060:15:08

Get out of here!

0:15:080:15:09

We're leading with the shooting in Downey.

0:15:490:15:51

She wants a stand-up in every story.

0:15:510:15:53

Oh, excuse me.

0:15:590:16:01

Excuse me, I have video footage.

0:16:020:16:05

Er, down the hall, to the right.

0:16:050:16:06

-Right.

-OK. Put the neighbour here

0:16:110:16:13

and the kids with their mother by the door.

0:16:130:16:15

You can get it back from 2:16.

0:16:150:16:16

-Yeah.

-And then I want to lay in some nat sound.

0:16:160:16:18

Let's loop the neighbour's dog barking and then try taking

0:16:180:16:21

the crying kid from B roll and dropping that in the background.

0:16:210:16:24

Got it.

0:16:240:16:25

You my fill-in operator?

0:16:250:16:26

I don't think so.

0:16:260:16:28

I'm Lou Bloom. I have some footage for sale.

0:16:280:16:30

A stringer?

0:16:300:16:32

-What?

-Who do you work for?

0:16:320:16:33

At the moment, I work for myself.

0:16:360:16:38

See Frank - out there, the way you came.

0:16:380:16:41

-Uh, what's it timed to?

-1:06.

0:16:410:16:44

What do you have?

0:16:440:16:46

Something I'm fairly certain you'll be very excited about.

0:16:480:16:51

What is it?

0:16:510:16:52

It's a shooting.

0:16:520:16:54

A man was shot, several times in fact.

0:16:540:16:56

He's laying on the ground. He's bleeding on the ground.

0:16:560:16:58

I'd be surprised if he survived, honestly.

0:16:580:17:00

He was shot during a carjacking.

0:17:000:17:02

Western and 1st?

0:17:020:17:03

Yes, that's right.

0:17:030:17:04

OK, well, we're getting that from Ace.

0:17:040:17:06

I was there - I was much closer to what happened.

0:17:060:17:09

HE CHUCKLES

0:17:090:17:10

OK, OK. Let's see it.

0:17:100:17:12

Fast forward through this.

0:17:160:17:18

Keep going, keep going.

0:17:200:17:22

-'Walk away or I'll arrest you for obstruct...

-Get out of here!'

-A minute-and-a-half in.

VOICES BLUR IN FAST FORWARD

0:17:260:17:28

Uh, there.

0:17:290:17:31

-'I got no pulse here.'

-Oh, fuck.

0:17:310:17:33

I need you to see something.

0:17:360:17:37

-Yeah?

-Lou Bloom, Frank Kruse, our assignment editor.

0:17:450:17:49

Play it back.

0:17:490:17:50

'I got no pulse here.'

0:17:530:17:54

That's the lead.

0:17:560:17:58

I want to break it up and do a wraparound from the scene.

0:17:580:18:00

I want a walking stand-up, teaser at five, repeat on the half

0:18:000:18:03

and I want the copy to start with a warning.

0:18:030:18:04

-You're going to show this?

-With a warning.

0:18:040:18:06

-It's excessive.

-We should have packages like this every day.

0:18:060:18:09

People are eating breakfast.

0:18:090:18:10

And they'll talk about it at work.

0:18:100:18:12

Tie it in with the carjacking last month in Glendale

0:18:120:18:14

and the other one, the van in Palms.

0:18:140:18:16

-When was that? March?

-March, yeah.

0:18:160:18:18

It's a carjacking crime wave. That's the banner.

0:18:180:18:22

Call the victim's family.

0:18:220:18:23

-Get a quote, mic it - you know what to do.

-Yeah.

0:18:230:18:25

How much?

0:18:270:18:28

I'm selling this particular piece for 1,000.

0:18:280:18:30

Not even close. This late, you have nowhere else to go -

0:18:300:18:33

and the quality's for shit.

0:18:330:18:35

I'll give you 250, that's the most I'll do.

0:18:350:18:37

Now, let's get you paid.

0:18:370:18:38

Here you go.

0:18:400:18:42

Buy yourself some better equipment, a directional mic,

0:18:420:18:44

and get interviews when you can.

0:18:440:18:46

-You have a good eye.

-Thank you.

0:18:460:18:47

I'm just beginning, so praise from someone such as yourself -

0:18:470:18:50

well, you can imagine that it means quite a lot.

0:18:500:18:52

Well, I'll help in any way I can.

0:18:520:18:54

And, of course, you can help me by calling us first.

0:18:540:18:57

I want you to contact me when you have something.

0:18:570:18:59

-Something like this?

-That's right.

0:18:590:19:00

Bloody?

0:19:000:19:02

Well, that's only part of it. We like crime - not all crime.

Carjacking in Compton, for example - that isn't news, now, is it?

0:19:060:19:09

We find our viewers are more interested in urban crime

0:19:090:19:12

creeping into the suburbs.

0:19:120:19:15

What that means is a victim or victims,

0:19:150:19:17

preferably well-off and white,

0:19:170:19:19

injured at the hands of the poor or a minority.

0:19:190:19:22

Just crime?

0:19:220:19:24

No. Accidents play - cars, buses, trains, planes, fires...

0:19:240:19:27

But bloody?

0:19:270:19:29

Well, graphic.

0:19:300:19:32

The best and clearest way that I can phrase it to you, Lou,

0:19:320:19:34

to capture the spirit of what we air,

0:19:340:19:37

is think of our newscast as a screaming woman

0:19:370:19:40

running down the street with her throat cut.

0:19:400:19:42

I understand.

0:19:420:19:43

I'm a very, very quick learner.

0:19:440:19:46

You will be seeing me again.

0:19:460:19:48

I believe you.

0:20:030:20:05

A tragic drugstore visit to help his ailing wife

0:20:070:20:10

claimed the life of a loving husband last night,

0:20:100:20:12

near Hancock Park.

0:20:120:20:13

Reporting from the scene is Ron de la Cruz.

0:20:130:20:16

An act of kindness turned into a savage, deadly attack,

0:20:160:20:19

just outside this market on Western and 1st around 2am,

0:20:190:20:22

when 68-year-old Richard Cho of Mar Vista

0:20:220:20:25

was walking towards his car with a prescription for his sick wife,

0:20:250:20:28

when he was confronted right here by a man with a 9mm handgun

0:20:280:20:32

police believe wanted to take his vehicle.

0:20:320:20:35

The vicious tragedy and senselessness

0:20:350:20:37

of the brutal shooting as well as the victim's final moments

0:20:370:20:40

were all caught in graphic video, which we are about to show.

0:20:400:20:43

Viewer discretion is advised.

0:20:430:20:46

Paramedics worked feverishly to save the life of Richard Cho.

0:20:460:20:49

But, despite heroic efforts, the husband and father of three

0:20:490:20:53

was pronounced dead at Good Samaritan Hospital.

0:20:530:20:55

Alarmingly, this is the third violent carjacking in the area

0:20:550:20:59

in recent months and residents here are growing concerned,

0:20:590:21:02

as police are still without any leads.

I did landscaping for a couple months.

I don't know, like, a week here, week there.

0:23:240:23:27

0:23:280:23:29

OK. Well, I'm Rick, of course.

0:23:380:23:39

..I took three buses to get here.

0:23:410:23:43

That's me. Hire Rick, so...

0:23:480:23:49

What's your address, Richard?

0:23:510:23:53

I don't have one. Not a permanent one, I mean, right now.

0:23:530:23:56

You're homeless?

0:23:560:23:57

0:24:230:24:27

No, I mean, I don't have a TV, but that sounds cool.

0:24:270:24:30

Do you have a cellphone?

0:24:300:24:32

Yeah!

0:24:320:24:33

-Does it have GPS?

-Yes, it does.

0:24:360:24:37

0:24:440:24:47

OK. And what does it pay?

0:24:480:24:50

It's an internship.

0:24:500:24:52

I, uh...

0:24:550:24:57

I can't do that. I need money.

0:24:570:25:00

I'm giving you a chance to explore career options

0:25:000:25:02

0:28:470:28:50

and they found that in any system that relies on cooperation -

0:28:500:28:52

from a school of fish, say,

0:28:520:28:54

or even a professional hockey team, for example -

0:28:540:28:56

but they didn't fucking care.

0:29:590:30:01

Can you try one more time, without swearing?

0:30:010:30:03

-I'm not doing it again.

-This is for... This is for TV.

0:30:030:30:06

Yeah? I don't have a TV.

You didn't get an interview with the couple?

0:31:480:31:50

I have footage of them.

0:31:500:31:52

I have an interview with a neighbour.

0:31:520:31:53

She curses, but you can cut that out.

0:31:530:31:55

How did you get inside the house?

0:31:550:31:56

-The door was open.

-They allowed you?

0:31:560:31:58

I heard somebody yell to come in and when nobody was inside I left.

0:31:580:32:01

And the only shot of the couple is through a window?

0:32:010:32:03

-The police were shutting it down.

-No, I don't like it.

-Like what?

0:32:030:32:06

The footage looks like he broke in.

0:32:060:32:07

There's no close-up of the homeowners and he's giving us

0:32:070:32:10

-their name off a piece of private correspondence.

-Excuse me, that's junk mail.

0:32:100:32:13

-Well, I have a problem with that.

-We'll knock out a killer package.

0:32:130:32:16

-This is my job.

-No - your job's writing the tweet of the day

0:32:160:32:19

and getting Deb to turn sideways during the weather forecast.

We're running it.

0:32:220:32:24

I like how you handled Frank.

0:32:240:32:26

You didn't soften the truth or dilute it.

0:32:260:32:28

I think being clear with your objectives is more important

0:32:280:32:30

than trying to present your ideas in a non-confrontational manner.

0:32:300:32:34

Do you have experience in an office?

0:32:340:32:36

Myself? Not presently, no.

0:32:360:32:38

Where'd you get all that?

0:32:380:32:39

-I study a lot online.

-Yeah? Like what?

0:32:390:32:42

All sorts of things, actually. I'm on my computer all day.

0:32:420:32:44

I haven't had what you'd call much of a formal education,

0:32:460:32:48

but you can find most anything if you look hard enough.

0:32:480:32:51

Last year, I took an online business course, for example.

0:32:580:33:01

And I learned that you have to have a business plan

0:33:010:33:05

before starting a business.

0:33:050:33:06

Why you pursue something is equally as important as what you pursue.

0:33:060:33:10

The site advised you to answer the following question,

0:33:120:33:16

before you decide where to focus your abilities.

0:33:160:33:19

The question was, "What do I love to do?"

0:33:190:33:22

The site suggested making a list of your strengths and weaknesses -

0:33:230:33:26

what am I good at? What am I not good at?

0:33:260:33:29

Maybe I want to strengthen and develop knowledge

0:33:290:33:31

about the things I'm already good at,

0:33:310:33:33

maybe I might want to strengthen my weaknesses.

0:33:330:33:35

I recently remade my list...

0:33:410:33:42

..and I'm thinking that television news...

0:33:440:33:48

..might just be something I love,

0:33:490:33:51

as well as something I happen to be good at.

0:33:510:33:54

On TV, it looks so real.

0:34:070:34:09

Yes, it does.

0:34:100:34:11

Well, I have a show to do.

0:34:140:34:15

Your cheque's at the desk.

0:34:150:34:17

Outstanding work, Lou. Really, just great.

0:34:180:34:21

Thanks, Nina. That means an awful lot.

0:34:210:34:23

(OK.)

0:34:250:34:26

It's every parent's nightmare.

0:34:500:34:51

Imagine singing a lullaby to your infant

0:34:510:34:54

and tucking them into bed and then having to shield them,

0:34:540:34:56

as a barrage of high-calibre bullets

0:34:560:34:58

literally blast into your home.

0:34:580:35:00

For the Cahills of Echo Park,

0:35:000:35:01

that fear became a terrifying reality,

0:35:010:35:04

when an adjacent house became the setting for a scene

0:35:040:35:07

right out of the Wild West.

0:35:070:35:09

Rick, I'm very pleased with how you've progressed

0:37:050:37:08

and you're doing a great job.

0:37:080:37:09

However, you just spilled gasoline on my car, which will eat the paint.

0:37:090:37:12

I need you to tighten up a bit on this, because if you fill it like that again,

0:37:120:37:15

I will terminate you immediately, I promise you.

I'm focusing on framing.

0:40:490:40:51

A proper frame not only draws the eye into a picture,

0:40:510:40:54

but keeps it there longer, dissolving the barrier

0:40:540:40:56

between the subject and the outside of the frame.

0:40:560:41:00

Is that blood on your shirt?

0:41:000:41:02

I don't think so.

0:41:030:41:04

You know, I recently heard about a Mexican restaurant called Cabanita.

0:41:050:41:08

Have you heard of it?

0:41:080:41:09

It's also on your sleeve.

0:41:090:41:11

Oh, I didn't see that.

0:41:120:41:14

What I'm asking is, do you like Mexican food, Nina?

0:41:160:41:20

Yes.

0:41:200:41:21

Cabanita has been called an authentic taste of Mexico City.

0:41:240:41:27

Do you want to go with me? I think we could have fun together.

0:41:300:41:33

Thanks, but I'm busy.

0:41:330:41:35

Saturday's your night off, isn't it?

0:41:350:41:36

I have a rule, Lou. I...

0:41:360:41:38

I don't date people I work with.

0:41:380:41:40

And I'm twice your age.

0:41:400:41:42

I like older women.

0:41:420:41:44

Besides, I don't work with you, you're someone I sell to.

0:41:440:41:47

And I don't want to fuck that up.

0:41:470:41:48

What if, by saying "no", you fuck it up?

0:41:480:41:50

Is that what you're saying?

0:41:530:41:55

I didn't SAY that.

0:41:560:41:58

HE CHUCKLES

0:41:580:41:59

Well, I don't know what to say.

0:42:010:42:03

Good morning, thank you for joining us, I'm Lisa Mays.

0:42:040:42:07

And I'm Ben Waterman. First up this morning on KWLA News,

0:42:070:42:10

a horrible car crash over in Benedict Canyon -

0:42:100:42:13

it's claimed the life now of one man, severely injured a young woman.

0:42:130:42:16

Hey, Lou!

0:42:180:42:19

Hey, man. Joe Loder. Mayhem.

0:42:210:42:24

Great get tonight.

0:42:240:42:25

They were closing it down by the time we showed up.

0:42:250:42:28

Were you waiting for me out here?

0:42:280:42:30

No, I was driving by and saw your car.

0:42:300:42:32

You're not dropping your shit off, are you? Nobody does that.

0:42:320:42:35

You need an AirCard if you want to be in the game.

0:42:350:42:37

Import the video to your laptop, cut the video, upload to your FTP site

0:42:370:42:42

and notify the stations you got something for sale.

0:42:420:42:44

Boom-boom-boom.

0:42:440:42:46

Otherwise, it's a nice ride.

0:42:460:42:47

Listen, man. You got a good run going,

0:42:480:42:51

but there's valleys out there.

0:42:510:42:52

Take it from me, I've been nightcrawling 14 years.

0:42:520:42:55

You heard I'm adding a second van?

0:42:550:42:56

Oh, I didn't hear that.

0:42:560:42:58

Going to be a game changer -

0:42:580:43:00

cut my on-scene time in half.

0:43:000:43:02

I'm setting up a dedicated dispatch, too.

0:43:020:43:04

No more listening and driving, that's for suckers.

0:43:040:43:06

You like the Canon 305s?

0:43:060:43:08

-Never used one.

-Six thou' a piece.

0:43:080:43:10

2.4 megapixels, night vision, 18-to-1 zoom.

0:43:100:43:15

I got one of those puppies with your name on it.

0:43:150:43:17

I have a camera.

0:43:170:43:18

I want you running my second van.

0:43:180:43:21

Two crews, half the area to cover.

0:43:210:43:22

Now, I know what you're thinking - half the money, right?

0:43:220:43:25

You should be thinking twice the sales,

0:43:250:43:27

cos we're going to be the first at every scene.

0:43:270:43:30

Why compete when we can work together?

0:43:300:43:32

You can share my press cards, puppy dog off my police connections.

0:43:320:43:36

This is the big move. The next level.

0:43:360:43:38

We can corner this whole thing.

0:43:380:43:39

I'm talking about putting some heavy digits in our pocket, bro.

0:43:390:43:42

Thank you for offering me the position,

0:43:420:43:44

but working for myself is more in line

0:43:440:43:46

with my skills and career goals.

0:43:460:43:48

Take a few days to think about it.

0:43:490:43:51

No.

0:43:510:43:52

You'll need to hire someone else and I don't want to hold up the process.

0:43:520:43:55

You want to be on the inside of this, man,

0:43:550:43:57

cos I'm going to be tag-teaming every call.

0:43:570:44:00

You keep talking like...

0:44:000:44:02

it's something I may be interested in, but I'm not.

0:44:020:44:04

You don't even understand the offer.

0:44:040:44:07

If you did you'd be fucking sucking my dick!

0:44:070:44:09

You're asking me questions -

0:44:090:44:10

what does this mean? What does that mean?

0:44:100:44:12

I feel like grabbing you by your ears right now

0:44:120:44:16

and screaming in your face,

0:44:160:44:18

"I'm not fucking interested."

0:44:180:44:20

Instead, I'm going to drive home and do some accounting.

0:44:220:44:24

Fuck you!

0:44:290:44:30

Twerp!

0:44:300:44:31

MEXICAN MUSIC PLAYS

0:44:360:44:39

I didn't wake up till five.

0:44:440:44:46

My body's so off, I feel like it's time for breakfast.

0:44:470:44:50

I bet you're beautiful any time of the day.

0:44:540:44:57

In fact,

0:44:570:44:58

I'd say you're much prettier than Lisa Mays.

0:44:580:45:01

NINA LAUGHS

0:45:010:45:02

I like the dark make-up on your eyes.

0:45:030:45:06

I also like the way you smell.

0:45:060:45:07

So where are you from, Lou?

0:45:100:45:11

The north end of the valley.

0:45:130:45:15

Some of the calls sometimes take me over there,

0:45:170:45:19

but nobody I know still lives out there.

0:45:190:45:21

You're from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

0:45:210:45:23

How do you know that?

0:45:230:45:25

It's online.

0:45:250:45:26

Everything about you is online.

0:45:280:45:29

Not everything, but definitely a lot.

0:45:290:45:31

I've watched all the videos from when you were a reporter.

0:45:310:45:34

-I'm sure you look at those, of course.

-No!

0:45:340:45:36

No, God, no. Not without a drink in my hand.

0:45:360:45:38

I watch my work all the time.

0:45:380:45:41

-Yeah? Do you want to become a reporter?

-No.

0:45:410:45:43

Most of you guys want airtime.

0:45:440:45:46

Not me.

0:45:460:45:48

I want to be the guy that owns the station that owns the camera.

0:45:480:45:51

The business is going well, but in order to grow to the next level

0:45:510:45:55

I need to stay one step ahead of my competition and take risks.

0:45:550:45:58

I also need financial support to implement expansion.

0:45:580:46:02

Would you like another margarita?

0:46:020:46:04

One's enough.

0:46:050:46:07

Thanks for coming out to talk.

0:46:070:46:10

The place I'm in now is that I want a relationship

0:46:100:46:14

with someone I can team up with and share,

0:46:140:46:16

like we share the same job and hours and whatnot.

0:46:160:46:18

I could go down a laundry list, but you get the idea.

0:46:180:46:21

Yes. Well, I hope you find someone.

0:46:210:46:23

Here's the thing about that, Nina.

0:46:250:46:28

I'm quite certain I already have.

0:46:280:46:29

OK...

0:46:330:46:34

Let me put this politely.

0:46:340:46:36

I only came out to dinner with you, Lou,

0:46:360:46:38

purely as a professional courtesy.

0:46:380:46:41

Thank you.

0:46:430:46:44

Because I don't think it's any secret that I've single-handedly

0:46:460:46:49

raised the unit price of your ratings book.

0:46:490:46:51

Our ratings-book price?

0:46:530:46:55

Whoa!

0:46:550:46:57

I'm a very fast learner.

0:46:580:46:59

We had a conversation where I specifically mentioned that.

0:46:590:47:02

Do you remember that?

0:47:020:47:03

-Well, do you?

-Yes.

0:47:040:47:06

I recently learned, for instance,

0:47:060:47:08

that most Americans watch local news to stay informed.

0:47:080:47:11

I also learned that the average half hour

0:47:130:47:15

of Los Angeles television news

0:47:150:47:16

packs all of its local government coverage -

0:47:160:47:18

including law enforcement, budget, transportation,

0:47:180:47:21

education and immigration - into 22 seconds.

0:47:210:47:24

Local crime stories, however, not only usually led the news,

0:47:240:47:27

but filled 14 times the broadcast,

0:47:270:47:28

averaging five minutes and seven seconds.

0:47:280:47:30

KWLA relies heavily on such stories.

0:47:300:47:32

With Los Angeles crime rates going down,

0:47:320:47:35

I think that makes items like mine particularly valuable,

0:47:350:47:37

like rare animals.

0:47:370:47:39

I can only imagine that your needs will increase

0:47:400:47:43

during next month's rating-sweeps' period.

0:47:430:47:45

-Phew!

-THEY LAUGH

0:47:460:47:49

Yeah, well...we certainly appreciate what you do.

0:47:500:47:54

There's certain good things about being alone.

0:48:000:48:03

You have time to do the things you want to do, like study and plan.

0:48:050:48:08

But you can't have dinners like this, or be physical with a person -

0:48:080:48:11

I mean, outside of flirtationship.

0:48:110:48:13

Where are you going with this?

0:48:150:48:17

I want that...

0:48:190:48:21

..with you.

0:48:220:48:24

Like you want to keep your job and your health insurance.

0:48:270:48:30

Look, just for starters,

0:48:320:48:35

I don't need you to keep my fucking job.

0:48:350:48:37

You're the news director on the vampire shift

0:48:380:48:41

of the lowest-rated station in Los Angeles.

0:48:410:48:44

We have what could be considered an almost exclusive relationship.

0:48:470:48:51

There are many other places I could go.

0:48:510:48:53

I have to think you're invested in this transaction.

0:48:540:48:57

-Here you are.

-(Wow.)

0:48:570:48:59

-Enjoy.

-Thank you.

0:48:590:49:01

Where did you get the balls to even suggest something like this?

0:49:040:49:08

We're still talking.

0:49:080:49:10

-No, there's nothing more to say.

-You can leave.

0:49:100:49:12

OK, look,

0:49:190:49:21

you've done well, OK?

0:49:210:49:24

We pay you well - very well. We always have.

0:49:240:49:27

If you like, I could get you an exclusive retainer -

0:49:270:49:31

that would be on top of your segment fees.

0:49:310:49:34

I could maybe even get you a job at the station,

0:49:340:49:36

starting as a production assistant,

0:49:360:49:38

so that you could learn the business from the inside -

0:49:380:49:40

that's where you said your interests lie. Mm-hmm.

0:49:400:49:43

You're not listening, Nina.

0:49:430:49:45

I happen to know you haven't stayed at one station

0:49:460:49:48

for longer than two years at a time

0:49:480:49:50

and you're coming up on two years soon.

0:49:500:49:52

I can imagine that your contract is for that length of time

0:49:550:49:57

and that next month's ratings directly affect that.

0:49:570:50:00

So you're threatening that if I don't...

0:50:000:50:03

-I'm negotiating.

-..you're threatening to stop selling to me?

0:50:030:50:06

That's YOUR choice.

0:50:060:50:07

The true price of any item is what someone's willing to pay for it.

0:50:080:50:11

You want something...

0:50:110:50:13

and I want you.

0:50:130:50:15

To fuck you.

0:50:150:50:16

And as a friend.

0:50:160:50:18

Jesus Christ. Friends don't pressure friends to fucking sleep with them.

0:50:180:50:22

Actually, that's not true, Nina.

0:50:230:50:25

Because, as I'm sure you know...

0:50:270:50:29

...a friend is a gift you give yourself.

0:50:310:50:34

OK, left on Roth and then six blocks to the ramp.

0:51:060:51:09

You're putting me on the 5?

0:51:090:51:10

Yeah, the 2 to the 5 then the 110 to the 10.

0:51:100:51:13

Did you read my traffic memo yesterday?

0:51:130:51:15

Did I read it?

0:51:150:51:16

Yeah, I read it.

0:51:170:51:19

What did it say?

0:51:190:51:20

-About the 5?

-OK, I looked at it. OK, what?

0:51:200:51:23

Well, for one thing, it included that the 5 has floating construction

0:51:230:51:26

in the fast lane for the next three weeks. So given that,

0:51:260:51:29

I expect you to put me on the 2 to the 101 to the 110 to the 10.

0:51:290:51:32

That's half of one, six of the other.

0:51:320:51:33

It's half-dozen of one, six of the other. What I'd like you to do

0:51:330:51:36

is admit that you didn't read what you said you did.

0:51:360:51:38

You know I'm a reasonable person, but nobody likes to be lied to.

0:51:380:51:41

OK, well, when am I going to get my raise?

0:51:410:51:43

That's reasonable, right?

0:51:430:51:44

You keep talking about this performance review -

0:51:440:51:46

when's it going to happen?

0:51:460:51:47

I've been out here two months already, busting my ass every night.

0:51:470:51:50

I'm tired of your promises for more pay, man.

0:51:500:51:52

-I'm sleeping in a garage...

-Rick, trying to leverage your salary

0:51:520:51:55

in this economic environment is near impossible.

0:51:550:51:57

Most firms have set starting wages.

0:51:570:51:59

Ideally, you could leverage with other offers,

0:51:590:52:01

but that's just not the case in your situation right now. SCANNER BEEPS

Welcome to the future, bra!

0:53:110:53:13

A car crash.

Well, none of this is going to knock anybody out.

0:55:440:55:47

What was the thinking there?

0:55:470:55:49

I didn't ask that to hear myself speak.

0:55:490:55:51

Because, you know, Coldwater only has six lights.

0:55:510:55:54

Yeah, but Laurel has places to pass.

0:55:540:55:55

I can't get around this person until Ventura.

0:55:550:55:58

It's the same argument. I said this route -

0:55:580:55:59

if you wanted to take Laurel, you should have said something.

0:55:590:56:02

I thought you worked in other factors!

0:56:020:56:04

If I didn't think you could do better,

0:56:040:56:05

I wouldn't ride you so hard about the routes.

0:56:050:56:07

I think you know that, Rick.

0:56:070:56:09

I think it may just be possible that I have a higher opinion of you

0:56:090:56:11

than you have of yourself.

0:56:110:56:13

Goddammit!

0:56:170:56:19

To get to a van crash on Moorpark? Who cares?

0:56:190:56:23

What's the rush?

0:56:230:56:24

Why aren't we at the rape in Griffith Park, like everybody else?

0:56:360:56:40

Joe Loder and the other dude, what's his name, fucking Marcus?

0:56:400:56:43

Park the car and get your camera.

0:56:430:56:45

What the hell happened?

0:57:010:57:03

According to witnesses, they were driving at a high rate of speed,

0:57:040:57:07

probably toward Griffith Park,

0:57:070:57:09

when, apparently, they ran head-on into this light pole.

0:57:090:57:11

No other cars. Single-vehicle.

0:57:110:57:14

How do they just run into a pole?

0:57:140:57:16

Hey, don't film that, man - he's one of us.

0:57:240:57:26

Not any more, Rick. We're professionals.

0:57:260:57:29

He's a sale.

0:57:290:57:31

Man, we are way the hell out here.

-What happened in there?

-You should have walked in and looked, Rick,

1:02:351:02:38

if you were half-curious.

That's what I'm paying you to do. You need to show initiative.

-Stay in the car.

Because I said so.

I've been trying to reach you for the last hour.

In the future, when you don't have anything,

1:04:311:04:33

man up and don't dodge my fucking calls.

1:04:331:04:35

I do have something.

1:04:351:04:37

What?

1:04:371:04:39

Home-invasion triple murder in Granada Hills.

1:04:391:04:42

That's just breaking now.

1:04:421:04:44

We got there before the police.

1:04:441:04:46

You have it?

1:04:481:04:49

I'm not going to list the many benefits of this piece.

1:04:521:04:54

I think it's probably best if you just watch it for yourself.

1:04:541:04:57

I could have had someone out there by now, why didn't you call it in?

1:04:571:05:00

To increase your need and improve my bargaining position.

1:05:001:05:03

Frank, Jenny - bay two, now.

1:05:031:05:05

Get Linda in here.

1:05:331:05:35

Home invasion in Granada. He got there before the cops.

1:05:461:05:49

We have ten minutes to airtime - how much of this can we show?

1:05:491:05:52

You mean legally?

1:05:521:05:54

No, morally. Of course legally.

1:05:541:05:56

Have they been identified?

1:05:561:05:57

It just happened, so you have to assume no -

1:05:571:05:59

and that's just one of the issues.

1:05:591:06:00

We can't broadcast their identities without notifying the next of kin.

1:06:001:06:04

-We're not identifying them.

-You are by proxy by showing their faces.

1:06:041:06:07

We pixelate the faces.

1:06:071:06:09

-Where did you get this?

-Stringer.

1:06:091:06:11

Hi, Linda, I'm Lou.

1:06:111:06:12

Oh, Jesus, is there a dead baby inside of there?

1:06:121:06:15

No, the crib was empty.

1:06:151:06:16

Oh, for Christ's sake - are we breaking the law by showing this?

1:06:161:06:19

Block the faces, don't give out the exact address -

1:06:211:06:24

do that, I guess...

1:06:241:06:25

I don't know, I wouldn't think so, no.

1:06:251:06:28

-Journalistically and ethically...

-This isn't Hartford.

1:06:281:06:31

..we are beyond all broadcast standards.

1:06:311:06:33

Have you seen the overnights? I'll risk the fine.

1:06:331:06:36

What did you pay for this?

1:06:361:06:38

The price hasn't been negotiated yet.

1:06:381:06:41

Oh, give us a minute. Thanks.

1:06:411:06:43

How much?

1:06:481:06:49

100,000.

1:06:491:06:50

-How much?

-50,000.

1:06:501:06:52

I need a number. Nine minutes. I need a number.

1:06:521:06:54

-I just gave you two.

-3,000.

1:06:541:06:57

I got 3,000 for the food-truck stabbings.

1:06:571:06:59

There were more dead.

1:06:591:07:00

Those were poor Mexican people in a roach coach.

1:07:001:07:02

Two of them were illegals.

1:07:021:07:03

These are three wealthy white people shot and killed in their mansion,

1:07:031:07:06

including a suburban housewife shotgunned in her bed.

1:07:061:07:09

I know you, Nina.

1:07:091:07:10

I know your interest and excitement in this product

1:07:101:07:12

is greater than the amount you're offering.

1:07:121:07:15

-5,000.

-30,000.

1:07:211:07:23

-7,000.

-25,000.

-8,000.

-15,000.

1:07:231:07:25

-9,000.

-15,000.

1:07:251:07:27

-10,000.

-15,000.

1:07:271:07:28

Give me a serious number.

1:07:281:07:30

-15,000.

-Can't do it. Never happen. There's the matter of precedent.

1:07:301:07:33

-10's my last, best offer.

-OK.

1:07:331:07:36

Really? Where are you going?

1:07:361:07:39

7's approached me at least several times.

1:07:391:07:41

The ND there gave me his number.

1:07:411:07:43

They'll make me a better offer.

1:07:431:07:45

-It's a five-minute drive.

-Hold on!

1:07:451:07:47

12.

1:07:541:07:55

-15.

-I can't spend a month's budget on a single story.

1:07:551:07:59

What if the story's not over?

1:07:591:08:00

The people who did this escaped.

1:08:021:08:03

They're still out there, walking around with the rest of us.

1:08:031:08:06

If I had a family and I lived in a home, that might make me nervous.

1:08:061:08:09

I'd want updates on what was going on.

1:08:091:08:11

With this footage, people would turn to your channel for the story.

1:08:111:08:15

Now, I like you, Nina,

1:08:151:08:16

and I look forward to our time together,

1:08:161:08:19

but you have to understand - 15,000 isn't all that I want.

1:08:191:08:23

From here on, starting now,

1:08:231:08:25

I want my work to be credited by the anchors and on a burn.

1:08:251:08:27

The name of my company is Video Production News,

1:08:271:08:30

a professional news-gathering service.

1:08:301:08:32

That's how it should be read and that's how it should be said.

1:08:321:08:34

I also want to go to the next rung and meet your team

1:08:341:08:37

and the station manager and the director and the anchors,

1:08:371:08:39

and start developing my own personal relationships.

1:08:391:08:42

I'd like to start meeting them this morning.

1:08:421:08:44

You'll take me around, you'll introduce me as the owner

1:08:441:08:46

and president of Video Production News

1:08:461:08:48

and remind them of some of my many other stories.

1:08:481:08:50

I'm not done. I also want to stop our discussion over prices.

1:08:501:08:53

This will save time. So when I say a particular number is

1:08:531:08:56

my lowest price, that's my lowest price and you can be assured that

1:08:561:08:58

I arrived at whatever that number is very carefully.

1:08:581:09:01

Now, when I say I want these things,

1:09:011:09:04

I mean that I want them

1:09:041:09:06

and I don't want to have to ask again.

1:09:061:09:08

And the last thing that I want, Nina,

1:09:081:09:10

is for you to do the things that I ask you to do

1:09:101:09:12

when we're alone together in your apartment, not like the last time.

1:09:121:09:15

So...

1:09:181:09:20

I'll tell you what.

1:09:211:09:23

I have the van crash on Moorpark tonight.

1:09:241:09:26

It was a couple of stringers, actually.

1:09:261:09:28

That could lead by itself on an average night.

1:09:281:09:31

I'd be willing to throw that in for free.

1:09:311:09:33

So what do you say? Do we have a deal?

1:09:351:09:37

Lisa Mays, Ben Waterman - Lou Bloom.

1:09:411:09:43

-Hi, pleasure to meet you.

-Hi, how are you, Lisa? Pleasure, Ben.

1:09:431:09:46

You remember Lou from the Benedict Canyon crash?

1:09:461:09:48

-Oh, yeah - amazing stuff.

-That was my company, Video Production News.

1:09:481:09:51

-Great job.

-I would just like to say

1:09:511:09:52

that I think what the two of you do is incredibly valuable.

1:09:521:09:56

-Thank you.

-That's nice of you to say. We appreciate it.

1:09:561:09:58

-BELL RINGS

-I don't know how long this tape runs, we might dump out.

1:09:581:10:01

20 seconds to back, Ben and Lisa, 20 seconds to back.

1:10:011:10:04

Set up the sting to go to camera two on a two-shot.

1:10:041:10:06

Where's the banner?

1:10:061:10:07

Did we decide on one?

1:10:071:10:08

"Horror house". What did we talk about?

1:10:081:10:10

Can you bill that? Put it on CG1. Back in ten seconds.

1:10:101:10:13

nine, eight, seven, six,

1:10:131:10:17

five, four, three, two, one.

1:10:171:10:21

Sting it.

1:10:211:10:22

Lights, dissolve, cue.

1:10:241:10:26

Hello, everybody. This is KWLA with breaking news.

1:10:261:10:28

Over the last half hour or so, we've now received word of an apparent

1:10:281:10:31

home-invasion triple homicide

1:10:311:10:34

in the Granada Hills area of the San Fernando Valley.

1:10:341:10:36

-Now, at present, the number of those dead...

-Preset camera two.

1:10:361:10:39

..hasn't been confirmed yet by the police, but KWLA

1:10:391:10:41

has obtained exclusive footage from inside the crime scene,

1:10:411:10:44

in which at least three bodies can be observed.

1:10:441:10:47

Now, we're going to show you segments of that footage

1:10:471:10:50

throughout the rest of this broadcast, of course, but also throughout the day...

1:10:501:10:53

Lisa, I have a tape. When you're ready just throw to it, I'll follow you.

1:10:531:10:56

Again, we're about to show you exclusive KWLA video

1:10:561:10:59

from inside the actual crime scene.

1:10:591:11:01

It's graphic - repeat it.

1:11:011:11:03

Before broadcasting this video,

1:11:031:11:04

we want to warn our viewers that these are extremely graphic images.

1:11:041:11:08

I'm hearing from our control room that we have that video

1:11:081:11:10

-and we're going to show it now.

-Well, let's roll it now.

1:11:101:11:13

This is footage that we've obtained exclusively by KWLA,

1:11:131:11:16

from Video Production News.

1:11:161:11:17

This is a professional news-gathering service.

1:11:171:11:19

And this is what appears to be a shotgun -

1:11:191:11:21

something you might use for home defence.

1:11:211:11:23

You can see the pistol grips on the front and the back there -

1:11:231:11:26

quite possibly the murder weapon.

1:11:261:11:27

And now, Lisa, as we move inside... This is a beautiful home.

1:11:271:11:30

A beautiful home in a very safe neighbourhood -

1:11:301:11:33

or what most people think is a safe neighbourhood

1:11:331:11:35

and it appears that that is the first body, on the sofa.

1:11:351:11:38

A young woman, I'm guessing, from this angle.

1:11:381:11:40

A young woman on a sofa, there.

1:11:401:11:41

All of the faces, though, have been blurred out, we want to...

1:11:411:11:44

They've escaped. They're on the loose.

1:11:441:11:46

That is the first of what we understand are three bodies

1:11:461:11:48

in the home in Granada Hills

1:11:481:11:50

and this was committed by a suspect or suspects,

1:11:501:11:52

who are still out there - they're believed to have escaped

1:11:521:11:55

and if you think about that, that is a very frightening thought.

1:11:551:11:58

-Repeat that.

-Yes, scary and very concerning,

1:11:581:12:01

particularly given what we're looking at here -

1:12:011:12:03

the savagery of what these pictures show.

1:12:031:12:05

And now, look, there on the floor, I'm guessing...

1:12:051:12:07

What is that? A bloodied article bloodied article of clothing?

1:12:071:12:10

Looks like a silk shirt, maybe a woman's silk blouse.

1:12:101:12:12

-It's just so sad. Now, as we move to one of the bedrooms...

-Standby to dissolve two.

1:12:121:12:15

..and there, obviously, is the second body.

1:12:151:12:18

-They've escaped - repeat it.

-The person or people

1:12:181:12:20

who committed all of this brutal home-invasion robbery -

1:12:201:12:23

they're presently unidentified and at large, still on the streets...

1:12:231:12:26

-Hit it again, harder.

-..this has got to be a huge worry -

1:12:261:12:28

not only to the residents in this neighbourhood -

1:12:281:12:30

the Granada Hills area...

1:12:301:12:32

All of Los Angeles, if you think about it.

1:12:321:12:34

The entire Southland, really, tonight, absolutely.

1:12:341:12:36

An apparent family attacked, savagely killed.

1:12:361:12:38

We believe this is their own home, in what is one of the quieter

1:12:381:12:42

-and, frankly, more upscale and affluent neighbourhoods...

-Roll A.

1:12:421:12:45

-..in the whole Valley...

-In all of Los Angeles.

1:12:451:12:48

-And now, as we're moving, this is a nursery and you hope...

-Build it.

1:12:481:12:52

-..there's not a baby in that crib.

-Yeah, you're just praying that

1:12:521:12:55

that crib is empty, cos this is definitely a child's room.

1:12:551:12:58

And now, as we look there... Thank goodness.

1:12:581:13:00

In fact, our understanding right now

1:13:001:13:02

is that there was no baby found in the house

1:13:021:13:04

or any baby that was seen at all by the people who filmed this for us.

1:13:041:13:08

That's Video News -

1:13:081:13:10

this is a professional news-gathering service that we use.

1:13:101:13:12

Apparently, what we're hearing from their photographer

1:13:121:13:15

is that they arrived even before the police did

1:13:151:13:18

and then entered this home to help,

1:13:181:13:20

or at least offer some sort of assistance

1:13:201:13:22

and then came upon what you're looking at here -

1:13:221:13:24

-the gruesome crime scene.

-They came upon three bodies.

1:13:241:13:26

-And that right there is the third body.

-..is the third body.

1:13:261:13:29

And obviously, this is a man, grey hair... What would you think, Lisa?

1:13:291:13:32

-Maybe 40s, 50s?

-Yeah, 50s...

-Vicious attack.

1:13:321:13:34

..and the only thought I have, we've been looking at

1:13:341:13:36

all this graphic footage and just the viciousness,

1:13:361:13:39

the severity of the violence.

1:13:391:13:40

Standby, we're going to come to a break here.

1:13:401:13:42

We're going to commercial then cutting to Joel and a police statement.

1:13:421:13:45

And I'm getting word right now that the police

1:13:451:13:47

are getting ready to issue a statement from the scene...

1:13:471:13:49

-Ready camera two.

-..and Joel Beatty is there for that

1:13:491:13:52

-and I think right now we're going to take a quick break...

-Take two.

1:13:521:13:55

Ready to break in five, four... Music...

1:13:551:13:57

three, two, one... Fade to black, roll your break.

1:13:571:14:00

-That's a ten share.

-BELL RINGS

1:14:001:14:02

I want theme music on the return.

1:14:021:14:04

The cut we used for the Simi rail crash.

1:14:041:14:06

Audio, cut 32, please. Cut 32 when we come back.

1:14:061:14:08

PHONE RINGS

1:14:081:14:10

Hello?

1:14:131:14:15

Thank you.

1:14:151:14:17

Well, actually he'd like to meet you.

1:14:171:14:19

-Heads up, you guys...

-I got to go.

1:14:221:14:23

..the police spokesman's making an announcement in 60 seconds.

1:14:231:14:26

Nina, we are getting a tonne of heat

1:14:261:14:28

from the police out here about that video.

1:14:281:14:30

-Tell them to call the station.

-15 seconds.

1:14:301:14:32

They want to talk to the person who shot it.

1:14:321:14:35

I shot it. Joel, it's Video Production News.

1:14:351:14:37

Tell them to call me.

1:14:371:14:39

Lou, they can't hear you.

1:14:391:14:40

Coming back in five, four,

1:14:401:14:43

three, two, one...

1:14:431:14:45

Fade up.

1:14:451:14:47

'We have more information coming in from the Granada Hills area

1:14:511:14:55

'and the scene of an apparent home invasion

1:14:551:14:57

'that has left a husband and wife and their housekeeper...

1:14:571:15:00

What we know at the moment is that at some time

1:15:001:15:02

around five this morning, gunmen broke into this upscale...

1:15:021:15:05

..are disturbed and concerned by the brutal triple murder...

1:15:051:15:07

..the way we got it, though, is the video production crew

1:15:071:15:10

that we work with from time to time.

1:15:101:15:11

They apparently arrived on the scene in Granada Hills

1:15:111:15:14

-before the police ever got there...

-Before anybody.

1:15:141:15:16

..and the photographer who took those pictures told us earlier

1:15:161:15:19

that he walked up to the door - he saw what we all saw in his videotape

1:15:191:15:23

and he then started to look inside,

1:15:231:15:25

so that he could help or render assistance to someone.

1:15:251:15:27

That's when he walked into the house and started shooting the video...

1:15:271:15:30

KNOCKING

1:15:301:15:31

He found the three deceased in the house, the two females...

1:15:311:15:34

HE SWITCHES THE TV OFF

1:15:341:15:36

-Hello.

-Hi, I'm Detective Frontieri.

1:15:451:15:48

This is my partner, Detective Lieberman.

1:15:481:15:50

-Are you Louis Bloom?

-Yes, I'm Lou.

1:15:501:15:52

You live here?

1:15:521:15:54

-Yes, that's right.

-May we come inside?

1:15:541:15:56

-Why?

-Why not?

-You want to?

1:15:561:15:58

-Yes.

-I don't care.

1:15:581:16:00

Wonderful.

1:16:001:16:01

-You were in Granada Hills last night.

-Yes, that's right.

1:16:061:16:09

You shot the video in the house?

1:16:091:16:11

Yes, ma'am. I did. That's right.

1:16:111:16:14

You went inside the house, you filmed all through the house -

1:16:141:16:18

you even filmed the bodies.

1:16:181:16:19

All before the police came.

1:16:191:16:21

-That door was open, ma'am...

-Detective.

1:16:211:16:23

The door was open and what I did was,

1:16:231:16:26

I went in to see if I could help, because the alarm was ringing.

1:16:261:16:29

An active crime scene.

1:16:291:16:30

I didn't know it was a crime scene.

1:16:301:16:32

You knew what it was.

1:16:321:16:34

I know that an alarm means someone's in trouble.

1:16:341:16:36

And you sold it to be shown on TV.

1:16:361:16:38

We're a professional news-gathering service.

1:16:381:16:41

What did you see when you arrived?

1:16:411:16:43

Uh, two men leaving in a vehicle.

1:16:431:16:45

-You saw two men?

-They were just shapes, really.

1:16:451:16:48

I was afraid, so I hid and then I saw the shapes of two men,

1:16:481:16:51

moving inside the vehicle, if that helps.

1:16:511:16:53

Describe the men.

1:16:531:16:55

It was dark and then they drove away, I...

1:16:551:16:57

-Black, white, tall...?

-I couldn't see.

1:16:571:16:59

What were they driving?

1:16:591:17:01

An SUV - dark coloured.

1:17:011:17:04

Rims, tinted windows?

1:17:041:17:06

Maybe - not that I saw.

1:17:061:17:08

Do you have any film on the men or the car?

1:17:081:17:10

No, I don't. I only started filming when I was inside.

1:17:101:17:13

I'd like a copy of that footage.

1:17:141:17:16

Do I have to give it to you?

1:17:161:17:18

Is there any reason why you wouldn't?

1:17:181:17:21

No, no. I made you a copy. I expected someone to come.

1:17:211:17:24

GUNSHOTS ON VIDEO

1:17:341:17:36

What's up, man?

1:18:301:18:31

I'm tired. Aren't you tired?

1:18:321:18:35

Why are we starting so early?

1:18:351:18:37

One of the people in the house last night was alive.

1:18:371:18:40

I cut that part out.

1:18:421:18:44

I also cut out the men leaving in their car.

1:18:441:18:46

I have a name and an address. We're going to drive there,

1:18:461:18:48

we're going to find the person that drove that car.

1:18:481:18:52

So you know who killed those people?

1:18:521:18:54

One of them, quite possibly, yes.

1:18:541:18:56

You got to call the cops.

1:18:581:18:59

And we will - at the right time.

1:18:591:19:01

I'm offering you a real opportunity here, Rick.

1:19:091:19:13

To do what?

1:19:131:19:14

I don't usually share my business plan with you...

1:19:181:19:22

but a moment has arrived that could allow the company

1:19:221:19:25

to make enough money to expand to the next level.

1:19:251:19:27

We could call this...

1:19:291:19:30

..the critical moment.

1:19:341:19:35

I'm inviting you, Rick,

1:19:361:19:38

to be a part of the team that pounces on this opportunity.

1:19:381:19:41

You've been asking a lot about your performance review.

1:19:411:19:44

-Yeah.

-Well...

1:19:441:19:46

for starters...

1:19:461:19:49

I've been seeing a great improvement

1:19:491:19:50

in your overall focus and order following.

1:19:501:19:53

Given complex problems,

1:19:531:19:54

you're developing a real ability to find clear and simple solutions.

1:19:541:19:57

I'm also aware of your increased enthusiasm.

1:19:571:20:00

It's great to see your eyes light up when you're working on a new idea.

1:20:001:20:02

I hope you'll be inspiring us

1:20:021:20:04

with your innovative thinking for years to come.

1:20:041:20:07

Thank you, man. I'm trying, you know?

1:20:081:20:10

Which is why I'm promoting you

1:20:121:20:14

to executive vice president of Video News.

1:20:141:20:18

What am I now?

1:20:211:20:22

You're an assistant.

1:20:231:20:25

That's...

1:20:271:20:28

Does it come with a raise?

1:20:341:20:36

Absolutely.

1:20:361:20:38

How much?

1:20:381:20:39

Pick a number. You pick a number.

1:20:411:20:43

A hun...hun...

1:20:481:20:50

..75...a night.

1:20:521:20:56

Agreed.

1:20:581:20:59

Wait, uh, what about more, you know?

1:21:001:21:03

Not now.

1:21:031:21:04

We closed the deal.

1:21:041:21:06

I could've gotten more, couldn't I?

1:21:091:21:11

Absolutely.

1:21:111:21:12

It's coming up on the left -

1:21:151:21:17

halfway down the block.

1:21:171:21:19

1701 North Burns.

1:21:191:21:21

Is that the car?

1:21:311:21:32

-That's the car.

-Oh, shit.

1:21:321:21:34

You think there's a reward?

1:21:551:21:57

There is a reward.

1:21:571:21:58

-How much?

-50,000.

1:21:581:22:00

Do I get any of that?

1:22:021:22:03

I just gave you a raise.

1:22:031:22:05

That's like, salary - I mean like a bonus, you know?

1:22:061:22:09

Bonuses come at the end of the year.

1:22:091:22:11

-So we're going to call it in?

-We're going to wait.

1:22:191:22:21

-For what?

-First, we want to see if he's actually inside.

1:22:211:22:24

Then we want to find a more interesting place

1:22:241:22:26

to film the arrest.

1:22:261:22:28

Like where?

1:22:281:22:29

Anywhere we want.

1:22:311:22:33

What we're going to do is,

1:22:331:22:34

we're going to wait and then we're going to follow him.

1:22:341:22:37

And then when he reaches what would be considered a better

1:22:371:22:39

or more populated neighbourhood,

1:22:391:22:41

then we'll report his location to the police.

1:22:411:22:43

He's a violent, wanted criminal.

1:22:431:22:44

I can't believe that he's just going to peacefully surrender.

1:22:441:22:47

OK, I want more money -

1:22:531:22:55

a lot more.

1:22:551:22:57

What makes a job desirable, Rick,

1:23:051:23:07

isn't just the dollar amount attached to it.

1:23:071:23:09

You're at the ground floor of a growing business.

1:23:091:23:11

Your reward is a career.

1:23:111:23:13

Fuck that. You're talking about some seriously messed-up shit -

1:23:131:23:16

and you're just expecting me to just go along with it.

1:23:161:23:19

-I want more.

-I can't make people do things, Rick.

1:23:191:23:21

You have a choice if you want to do this

1:23:211:23:23

and I have a choice if you don't.

1:23:231:23:25

You threatening to fire me?

1:23:261:23:29

Hey, I got something too.

1:23:291:23:30

How about not calling criminals, waiting for them to start some shit

1:23:301:23:33

so you can film it - that's against the fucking law.

1:23:331:23:36

Yeah, cops would be majorly interested in that, no doubt.

1:23:361:23:39

OK? So I...I want more money.

1:23:391:23:41

We can reopen negotiations, Rick,

1:23:451:23:47

but remember, when it comes to your work reputation,

1:23:471:23:50

you can't un-ring the bell.

1:23:501:23:53

Well, I want half of whatever we make tonight.

1:23:531:23:56

How did you arrive at that number?

1:23:561:23:59

There's two of us sat here.

1:23:591:24:01

So, 50-50.

1:24:011:24:03

I'll counter at 10,000.

1:24:031:24:05

You don't set the numbers on this. I want half. I want half.

1:24:051:24:08

If you're saying I can't negotiate, then I guess I'm...

1:24:091:24:12

..just going to have to give it to you.

1:24:201:24:22

Well, all right, then.

1:24:251:24:26

Now I can feel good about it.

1:24:281:24:30

At least now, I can... I'll go the extra mile.

1:24:301:24:32

That's what you never understood, man,

1:24:331:24:35

that's been the problem the whole time.

1:24:351:24:37

You got to bring people in, Lou, seriously.

1:24:381:24:41

You got to talk to them like they're fucking human beings.

1:24:411:24:43

I'm saying this for you, dude, for the future, to help you.

1:24:431:24:47

Cos you got a seriously weird-ass way of looking at shit.

1:24:471:24:50

You know you do.

1:24:501:24:52

I mean, you know what your trouble is, man?

1:24:531:24:55

You don't fucking understand people.

1:24:551:24:57

-OK?

-Mm-hmm.

1:24:581:25:00

I'll take the first watch.

1:25:021:25:04

(OK.)

1:25:051:25:07

DOOR OPENS

1:25:231:25:25

Rise and shine.

1:25:301:25:31

He's leaving.

1:25:321:25:34

CAR DOOR UNLOCKS

1:25:341:25:36

Is that him?

1:25:371:25:38

That's one of them.

1:25:381:25:39

ENGINE STARTS

1:25:501:25:52

You're too fucking close, man.

1:26:211:26:23

Oh, shit...

1:26:231:26:24

You're too fucking close.

1:26:261:26:27

This guy might've already seen us and he's bringing us here as a trap.

1:26:271:26:30

You ever think of that?

1:26:321:26:33

Oh, shit.

1:26:381:26:39

They're going to see us - we're in a red fucking car.

1:27:171:27:20

Lower your window, please.

1:27:221:27:24

ENGINE STARTS

1:27:431:27:45

-Keep your window down.

-I'm fucking cold.

1:27:531:27:55

Shit, they're parking.

1:28:051:28:07

Keep going.

1:28:071:28:08

DIALLING TONE

1:28:201:28:22

'911, what's your emergency?'

1:28:261:28:28

Yes, good evening, hello.

1:28:281:28:29

I'd like to report the location of two men responsible

1:28:291:28:31

for the triple murder in Granada Hills last night.

1:28:311:28:34

-'What's your address?'

-I followed them and they just pulled into

1:28:341:28:36

the Chinatown Express at Western and 3rd.

1:28:361:28:39

I can see them inside.

1:28:391:28:40

'OK, it's a restaurant called Chinatown Express at Western and 3rd?'

1:28:401:28:43

That's right. I can see them at the counter and they're ordering.

1:28:431:28:46

-These men are wanted for the triple murder in Granada Hills last night.

-'What's your name, sir?'

1:28:461:28:50

-Louis Bloom.

-'Do you have a description of the men?'

1:28:501:28:52

Yes, I do. They're both Latin American men,

1:28:521:28:54

probably what you would call Hispanic.

1:28:541:28:57

One's big, very much on the heavy side

1:28:571:28:59

and the other's face is scratched. He has scratches on his face.

1:28:591:29:02

'How old are the men?'

1:29:021:29:04

30... Perhaps, maybe 35.

1:29:041:29:07

'What are they wearing?'

1:29:071:29:09

The big man's wearing light pants and a striped sweater

1:29:091:29:11

and the man with the scratches is wearing brown pants and a vest -

1:29:111:29:14

he looks like he has a...gun.

1:29:141:29:16

-'You say the suspect is armed?'

-I believe so, yes.

1:29:181:29:20

I'm sorry, I have to go, otherwise they might see me.

1:29:201:29:23

SCANNER CHATTER

1:29:281:29:31

'All Wilshire units, possible 187 suspects

1:29:341:29:37

'are now at Western and 3rd at the Chinatown Express.

1:29:371:29:40

'Suspects are two male Hispanics. Number one - large build,

1:29:401:29:43

'number two with scratches on his face -

1:29:431:29:45

'inside the location, possibly armed.

1:29:451:29:47

'Code 3, incident 3-5-7 and RD 7-53.'

1:29:471:29:50

There's fucking people in there.

1:29:501:29:52

I count...six.

1:29:521:29:55

Oh, shit. They could start shooting.

1:29:551:29:58

They could.

1:29:581:29:59

You said we were waiting for a better neighbourhood

1:29:591:30:02

with more people - not a fucking restaurant.

1:30:021:30:04

We work with what we're given.

1:30:041:30:06

You're going to go down the street and get an angle inside,

1:30:061:30:09

from over there.

1:30:091:30:11

Steady hands, use the zoom, no fast pans.

1:30:111:30:14

I'll be filming from here.

1:30:141:30:15

Fuck that, I'm not getting out the car!

1:30:151:30:18

I need a second angle from down the street.

1:30:201:30:22

We'll cut it together - two angles.

1:30:221:30:25

Believe me, it's more dangerous here in the car.

1:30:251:30:28

I don't believe anything you say.

1:30:281:30:29

Man, this is fucked!

1:30:291:30:32

Do you know, I've never once sworn in front of an employer?

1:30:321:30:34

I'm not doing it - I'm not getting out the car.

1:30:341:30:37

You're making a mistake.

1:30:371:30:39

I don't care about the fucking job title.

1:30:391:30:41

What if my problem wasn't that I don't understand people,

1:30:471:30:49

but that I don't like them?

1:30:491:30:51

What if I was obliged to hurt you for something like this?

1:30:541:30:57

I mean, physically.

1:30:581:31:00

I think you'd have to believe afterwards, if you could,

1:31:011:31:04

that agreeing to participate...

1:31:041:31:06

and then backing out at the critical moment was a mistake.

1:31:061:31:10

Because that's what I'm telling you....

1:31:101:31:12

..as clearly...

1:31:151:31:17

..as I can.

1:31:191:31:20

'78-14, we're Code 6 to location.'

1:32:361:32:39

Oh, God...

1:33:401:33:42

78-21, we're Code 6 to 78-14.

1:33:511:33:53

Oh, God.

There's people dead in there!

'78-27, I am behind vehicle, we are in pursuit.'

1:35:001:35:03

Aim the camera at the car and start filming.

1:35:081:35:10

Rick, start filming!

1:35:171:35:18

-Stay on the police car.

-You're right up his ass!

1:35:291:35:31

Wide angle - we want all of this.

1:35:311:35:33

RICK WHIMPERS I got it.

1:35:371:35:39

Steady hands, Rick.

1:35:461:35:47

Red light, that's a red light! Red light!

Fuck!

Oh, shit!

Oh, my... Did you see that? Did you see that?

1:36:141:36:17

Look out, look out!

1:36:221:36:24

No, no, no, please - we're way too close!

1:36:301:36:33

This guy's crazy! Fucking shit!

1:36:351:36:37

No matter what, keep shooting.

1:36:431:36:44

Fuck!

1:36:461:36:48

Shit, shit!

1:36:481:36:50

Oh, my God!

1:36:501:36:52

'707, come in.'

1:37:011:37:02

-'707, come in.'

-Turn off the car.

1:37:051:37:07

'707...'

1:37:091:37:10

He's dead. Get this shot.

1:37:311:37:33

RICK GASPS FOR BREATH

1:38:491:38:51

You saw him.

1:38:591:39:00

You saw him.

1:39:041:39:06

I can't jeopardise my company's success

1:39:081:39:13

to retain an untrustworthy employee.

1:39:131:39:17

You're crazy.

1:39:191:39:20

You're crazy.

1:39:221:39:24

You took my bargaining power, Rick.

1:39:251:39:28

You used it against me.

1:39:281:39:29

You would have done it again. Just admit it.

1:39:291:39:32

I don't know...

1:39:341:39:36

I don't know...

1:39:381:39:40

I know.

1:39:401:39:41

(I know.)

1:39:441:39:45

Are you on that traffic accident on the PCA?

1:40:231:40:25

Hello, Juliana.

1:40:251:40:26

Hello, Willie.

1:40:281:40:29

-Hello, Ben. Hello, Lisa.

-Hi!

1:40:351:40:36

-Hey - it's Lou, right?

-Yes, that's right.

1:40:361:40:39

-Video News?

-That's right.

-Got something good for us tonight?

1:40:391:40:41

I think so. I'm about to show Nina, right now.

1:40:411:40:44

I can tell by your tie, it's Friday!

1:40:441:40:46

THEY LAUGH

You can leave.

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

1:41:281:41:29

Wasn't that your partner?

1:41:341:41:35

As a matter of fact, that's him.

1:41:371:41:39

Well, I'm floored.

1:41:411:41:44

I mean, it's amazing.

1:41:441:41:45

Thank you.

1:41:471:41:48

I mean, just amazing...

1:41:491:41:52

Thank you.

1:41:541:41:56

No, thank you.

1:41:561:41:58

Thank you for bringing it to me.

1:41:591:42:00

You're welcome.

1:42:021:42:03

I want it, obviously.

1:42:051:42:07

How much do you want it?

1:42:071:42:08

You tell me.

1:42:101:42:12

Get this to graphics.

1:42:141:42:16

-Who's in charge here?

-Who are you?

1:42:161:42:18

LAPD, major case.

1:42:181:42:20

-Pull the footage from these screens. Round it up. Let's go - all copies.

-Excuse me...

1:42:201:42:24

I'm the news director, can I help you?

1:42:241:42:26

You can help yourself, by collecting up every copy of the shoot-out,

1:42:261:42:29

-the chase, the crash - all of it, now.

-It's KWLA property.

1:42:291:42:32

-It's evidence.

-Of what?

1:42:321:42:34

I got a cop near death in the hospital,

1:42:341:42:37

three dead, four wounded

1:42:371:42:38

and a dozen major crimes stretching a mile of Third.

1:42:381:42:41

This tape is evidence.

1:42:411:42:42

It's news footage, bought and paid for from an independent contractor.

1:42:421:42:45

-And how do you think he got it?

-If there's an issue, speak to him.

1:42:451:42:48

Don't get in the way of this.

1:42:481:42:49

Unless you have a judge's order, we're going with it in four minutes.

1:42:491:42:52

Hey, isn't that him?

1:42:521:42:54

BELL RINGS

1:42:561:42:59

Camera one, stay centred up.

1:42:591:43:00

Camera two, we'll do a zoom out when we come out.

1:43:021:43:06

Joel's got a source on the task force who says

1:43:061:43:08

they've found drugs at the Granada Hills house.

1:43:081:43:10

Cocaine in wrapped packages, hidden in crawl spaces - over 50lb.

1:43:101:43:13

And he confirmed it with an investigator at the scene.

1:43:131:43:16

It wasn't a home invasion, it was a drug robbery.

1:43:161:43:19

Give it to the noon crew.

1:43:191:43:20

-This is news.

-It detracts from the story.

1:43:221:43:24

It IS the story.

1:43:241:43:26

The story is urban crime creeping into the suburbs.

1:43:261:43:29

That's the story.

1:43:291:43:31

-Jesus, you sound like Lou.

-Ten seconds to back...

1:43:311:43:34

I think Lou is inspiring all of us to reach a little higher.

1:43:341:43:38

..five, four, three, two, one...

1:43:381:43:42

Sting it.

1:43:421:43:43

Lights, dissolve...

1:43:441:43:46

You understand that you've been read your rights

1:43:571:43:59

and you're here voluntarily?

1:43:591:44:01

That's right, yes.

1:44:011:44:03

And this is being recorded and filmed?

1:44:031:44:06

Yes, from the camera up there -

1:44:061:44:08

in wide angle.

1:44:081:44:10

Hmm.

1:44:101:44:12

Would you tell me how it is

1:44:141:44:16

you were at the Chinatown Express tonight and called the 911?

1:44:161:44:19

Of course - it began earlier in the day.

1:44:191:44:21

I was watering my plant.

1:44:231:44:25

I looked out my window, at my apartment -

1:44:261:44:29

the one you visited -

1:44:291:44:31

and I saw a dark-coloured vehicle with two men inside,

1:44:311:44:34

parked across the street. I didn't think anything of it,

1:44:341:44:36

otherwise I would have reported it then.

1:44:361:44:39

We began our night, my...

1:44:391:44:41

..employee and myself...

1:44:441:44:45

..and around approximately 12:38,

1:44:461:44:49

I looked in my rear-view mirror and I saw what looked like

1:44:491:44:52

the same men in the same vehicle, following us.

1:44:521:44:55

I made an evasive manoeuvre, circled back

1:44:551:44:58

and tailed them to the restaurant,

1:44:581:44:59

at which point I saw them go inside and recognised them

1:44:591:45:02

as the same men from the home invasion.

1:45:021:45:04

You told me you didn't see the men,

1:45:051:45:07

that you didn't get a good look at them.

1:45:071:45:09

Well, it all came back to me when I saw them going in -

1:45:091:45:11

their shapes and their movements.

1:45:111:45:14

And then I saw that one of the men had a gun under his shirt

1:45:141:45:17

and so, I immediately got my phone and dialled 911.

1:45:171:45:20

That's your story?

1:45:201:45:21

That's what happened. That's why I'm sitting here with you.

1:45:211:45:24

I think that the men saw my footage and they tracked me down.

1:45:241:45:28

You want to know what I think?

1:45:291:45:31

Yes, please.

1:45:321:45:33

I think you withheld information.

1:45:341:45:37

I think you saw the two men in the murder house in Granada Hills

1:45:371:45:41

and you saw the car

1:45:411:45:42

and you sat on it -

1:45:421:45:45

to get something you could film.

1:45:451:45:47

What do you think about that?

1:45:471:45:49

I think that would be...

1:45:511:45:53

a very unprofessional thing for me to do in my business.

1:45:531:45:55

It would be murder.

1:45:551:45:57

I can understand why you're looking into it,

1:45:571:45:59

but I didn't do anything like that - nothing that could be considered wrong.

1:45:591:46:02

-You don't fool me for a minute.

-I'm glad.

1:46:021:46:05

I think everything you've said is a lie.

1:46:051:46:08

I wish my partner was here to back up what happened.

1:46:081:46:10

You left your dead partner.

1:46:101:46:12

The ambulances arrived. They're trained professionals.

1:46:121:46:15

Yeah, and you seem real broken up about that.

1:46:151:46:18

No, he died doing what he loved.

1:46:181:46:20

You filmed him dying.

1:46:221:46:24

Hey, that's what I do, it's my job.

1:46:261:46:28

I like to say that if you're seeing me,

1:46:281:46:30

you're having the worst day of your life(!)

1:46:301:46:32

'Any Rampart unit, ambulance 211, Rampart and Second Avenue.

1:47:041:47:07

'Victim female, white, unknown property...'

1:47:071:47:10

'Congratulations.'

1:47:271:47:29

Congratulations.
