Hey, pal, you mind stepping out
of my shot?

:13:05
Oh, this is your shot?
:13:08
- Hi.
- Low. Very low, Jackie!

:13:11
- Doug, can we take five?
- Who is this?

:13:14
l need five minutes. l'll meet you at
the dressing room. Outside the room.

:13:22
- l can explain...
- Oh, really?

:13:24
Well, go ahead. Explain.
:13:26
Explain to me how my deal
and my exclusive rights to your story

:13:30
wind up in the lap
of that idiot savant?

:13:32
He's a smart idiot, Gavin.
And it's a long story, so l...

:13:36
Let me give the abridged version.
:13:37
Once upon a time,
there was HBO!

:13:41
You know what, Jackie? For all of your
hustle and bustle and bullshit,

:13:46
the one thing that you always were
was honorable, in a very real way.

:13:50
lf you said something, you meant it.
And if you didn't say it,

:13:55
well, you meant that too.
:13:57
That's quite an attribute.
Not a lot of people have that.

:14:02
And now neither do you.
:14:09
- Wait, what is the problem?
- A little pre was the deal.

:14:12
No, pre with me. Post with Luther.
That was the deal, Doug.

:14:16
lf it was, it's not now.
:14:18
We got great stuff
with you, Jackie.

:14:20
But if we don't get Luther,
my audience won't bite.

:14:23
You become the latest waste
of tape.

:14:29
OK.
:14:31
That's nice, man.
:14:34
Hey, guys. Doug Doherty, HBO,
as if you didn't know.

:14:38
And this is his crew,
Steven and Nick and Beth.

:14:41
They're here to observe, not to interact
or interfere, so act natural.

:14:47
You guys just back up a little bit.
l'll be back.

:14:51
Get your goddamn hands off of me!
And get them the hell out of here!

:14:56
HBO.
:14:58
OK? Please.
