Brigsby Bear Page #6

of the frame,

- so I can animate over the generator.

- Okay. Yeah. Got it.

- Ready?

- All set.

- What was that?

- You get it?

You mean that fricking bomb that exploded?

Yeah, what was that?

I worked on it yesterday.

I thought our movie could use

- more big budget appeal!

- Sh*t!

- Did it look cool?

- You're telling me

I've been driving around in a car

full of explosives the whole day?

I know you said

you wanted to use animation

but I thought if we did it for real

it would be better.

Plus, practical effects

are a dying art form.

You can't just blow sh*t up, man.

- Why not?

- Because you just...

Sh*t!

Step away from the device.

Put your hands in the air.

It's okay. It's just the police.

They're nice.

I said hands in the air.

We are okay.

We don't need any police help.

- Freeze!

- Sorry about the mess.

We're just going to finish cleaning up.

Thank you.

I said freeze!

[Handcuff sucks';

I think next time

we have to do an explosion,

let's just do your idea

with the animation.

Officers say they found marijuana

and an open container of alcohol

in the truck.

Not to mention

the improvised explosive device,

the detonation of which is technically

an act of domestic terrorism.

You got anything to say for yourself?

Everything that happened was my fault.

The marijuana smokings, the bad drinks.

Those were mine.

The explosion stuff, too.

Nobody else should get in trouble.

Where did you get the bear mask?

I stole it.

You stole it?

I'm sorry to you.

And I'm very sorry to America.

I watched the tapes.

What tapes?

The bear show.

Several episodes.

Which ones?

I don't know. Quite a few.

There was one where he met a wizard

under a waterfall

and learned multiplication.

Oh, that... that's one of those for kids.

I mean it was for me I guess.

When I was a kid

yeah. I get the gist.

They really did a number on you,

didn't they?

I was just making Brigsby.

We're not here

to talk about Brigsby, James.

This is about you.

And we want you to recognize

this chance you have right now,

to embrace a new start.

So, what does that mean?

It means putting Brigsby aside

and moving on with the rest of your life.

So, what, just forget about him?

James, I know that this is hard,

but there is a bigger world out there

than you even know.

And it's filled with so many amazing

and wonderful things.

Yeah, remember,

like gordo from hockey high.

But I don't care about that stuff.

I already know that Brigsby's

the greatest hero

and when everything's against him

he never gives up. Even if it's hopeless.

He's my whole life.

Your whole life, huh?

How about your whole life we have been

out there looking for you? For 25 years.

I'm sorry.

But these monsters stole you from us.

And they destroyed us.

Can you understand that?

Huh?

You don't know anything about Brigsby.

At all.

And you never will.

Can I get you something to drink?

Sir?

Yes. Yeah.

Yeah. Um...

I just have this many credits.

Okay. Uh, that will get you, let's see.

Fountain drink or a cup of coffee.

Could get you a cookie maybe.

Hello?

Sorry. Sorry. Um...

Uh...

I just never could've guessed I'd find you

this far outside the gates of glenrona.

You're the...

Sorry. James, right?

Um...

My shift is almost up.

Can you give me a minute?

Mmm-hmm.

Okay.

I guess I found out

when you did, basically.

It was just a little bit of extra cash

every month, I mean...

He told me it was

for Canadian public access.

I'd just show up,

and he'd give me my lines.

I never really asked

a lot of questions obviously.

I've been sick to my stomach.

I wish that I had never done it.

I don't know what to say.

I'm really just so,

so sorry for everything.

Sorry?

You and Brigsby...

I guess your sister Nina, too.

You were the only thing

that made the world okay.

You were all I had.

I guess you still are.

You do realize that

I'm not actually her, right?

My name is Whitney.

No, I know. I know now.

Okay, but Nina, too.

It was just a camera trick.

Yeah. It's actually a really cool effect.

Sure.

But you made it so real.

And the way that

you were always there for Brigsby,

even when it seemed impossible...

He couldn't have done it by himself.

How did you find me?

Same way Brigsby did, I guess.

Destiny.

Sorry. Um...

I got to go pick up my kid

in a few minutes.

It was really nice to meet you.

You seem really sweet.

Wait.

Before you go, in volume 19,

during that four-episode arc

all about the quantix,

did you really not know anything

about it the whole time?

Or were you just trying

to protect the wizzles?

I really don't remember that.

And you would

never want to do it again, right?

To help finish it?

I don't think...

It looks like

it's time for me to go anyway.

Those are for you?

Hate to say it, but, yep.

I've been an outlaw

ever since I came into this world.

It's dope as sh*t.

Here...

You're the only one who can keep it safe.

What?

Thanks for the food and the coke.

Also, I'm in love with you.

Always have been.

Please, no tackles this time.

Please.

What choice do we have?

He's not dangerous.

He needs us.

He needs us to make more of an effort.

You heard what Dr. Larson

recommended to the judge.

So what? So we just kick him out?

He's obsessed. We're out of options.

He needs help.

What are you working on?

Some circles.

I'm Eric.

I'm James.

You get it?

Yes!

That view looks so ripping.

It's so much better

just shooting Brigsby out here.

Because the old show is fake,

but this is the real world.

It's outside. It's amazing.

I love making a movie.

All you got to do is get up

and then put the pieces together,

and then tell a story.

And then that's how you make

a Brigsby bear fantastic movie

that will be playing for years to come.

Let's go get that other shot.

James.

I just want to start by saying

I know it's been incredibly tough,

but you've made enormous strides.

There's something I need to tell you.

Ted and April have both pleaded guilty.

And that means they're going away.

Probably for a long time.

It's totally, totally understandable

to have conflicting feelings about that.

- Mr. pope.

- Detective.

Um, I was hoping that we could talk.

Yeah.

Is it about feldo mortese?

What's feldo mortese?

It's a saying here

at the department we use. It's...

Life and... please, sit down.

Take it.

That's all my weapons.

Swords, throwing stars,

and some other stuff.

But it will keep you safe.

Thanks, Eric.

So...

How are you planning to break out of here?

It's pretty complicated.

James?

How did this happen?

Um, well, this was supposed to be

a surprise for when you got home.

Wait, why are you home?

But they... they told me that they were

going to get rid of everything.

Yeah, but feldo over here

gave us a heads up.

It was dad's idea, though,

to use the garage.

Really?

Yeah. Well...

Aubrey showed us

some of the stuff you did together, and...

Well, I think it was really cool, son.
