:19:00
Look at this-
got a faux bottom.

:19:02
Huh?
:19:04
You can hide things
in it and everything.

:19:06
God, the magician in me
just loves this stuff.

:19:10
You're not Cletis Tout.
:19:11
No.
:19:13
I've got a strong feeling
that before the day is out

:19:16
someone's going
to make use of that

:19:18
rather expressive, though
somewhat old-fashioned, term:

:19:21
foul play.
:19:24
"Rebecca," United Artists, 1940.
:19:26
If you're not Tout, who are you?
:19:28
I'm Finch.
:19:29
Finch.
:19:32
Cletis Tout was a bottom-feeder.
:19:34
Called himself
a video journalist

:19:36
but he was really just a thug
:19:38
with a camera.
:19:39
Worked alone.
:19:40
His client list included
all those tabloid shows.

:19:43
His mark was anybody who made
their living in the public eye.

:19:46
There was a bachelor party
for some mobster's son-

:19:49
kid named Rowdy Virago.
:19:50
His dad, "Paulie the fist," ran
:19:52
a little group called
the vissari crime family.

:19:54
Rowdy was high-profile.
:19:56
He liked that movie star status
:19:58
but every time he put his face
in front of a flashbulb

:20:00
there was trouble.
:20:01
Now Rowdy was tapped
to take over the family.

:20:03
He was an untouchable.
:20:04
You can only imagine what price
the tabloids would pay

:20:07
for one shining moment in this
little Alice's wonderland...

:20:09
but Tout could imagine it.
:20:11
He made it his mission
to bring Virago down.

:20:16
They picked up a hooker
about 11:30...

:20:19
took her to a loft downtown.
:20:22
Tout was there.
:20:44
Tout thinks
he's hit the jackpot.

:20:47
Virago's got
a bit of a problem:

:20:49
he likes it rough.
:20:50
Tonight he's got
a bigger problem:

:20:52
she likes it rough, too.
:20:58
That's when things went wrong.
