Can't you do something?

- I can take you around back.

- Stop. Might as well get it over with.

Will you turn over

your client list to authorities?

I've heard people offered

you one million dollars

to buy that black book from you.

Are you the Hollywood Madam?

Is it true you were

paid more than $3,000 for sexual favors?

- Back off.

- Do you have a comment at all?

- Who you with?

- The New York Times.

- CBS. - Sunday Telegraph.

- We're all here.

Just hold on, Heidi. Just hold it.

Well, boys,

where do you want me?

Excuse me. Girls.

- Nice party, Ivan.

- Thank you. Excuse me.

- Charisse.

- Ivan.

- Oh, I'll take one.

- Lauren.

You look beautiful.

I got the invite.

So what's the big occasion?

Didn't you hear?

Heidi got arrested yesterday.

Funny time to throw a party.

It's the happiest day of my life.

That's what I love about you, Ivan,

no grudges, no hard feelings.

Heidi, we have wiretaps, transcripts...

witnesses.

You're looking at a whole lot

of jail time, Heidi.

Why don't we talk about

how the L.A.P.D. Doesn't bust madams...

who exchange information?

Oh, that might be embarrassing,

except I know

you can't prove anything

in a court of law.

I'd like to see what a good lawyer

would say about that.

Oh, and by the way, how many johns are you

busting while you're busting me?

Nothing is going to stop this case

from going to trial.

You're too big, Heidi.

Why do you keep saying

my name like that?

You sound like a car salesman.

Listen to me.

There is a seven-foot bull dyke in Lompoc

who's just a-dying to meet you.

Stop, Sergeant.

You're making me all wet.

One door closes, another door opens.

You know what I'm saying?

In the meantime, we'll take the yacht

and go down to Baja next week.

- Sounds good to me.

- I could work on my tan.

Only if I can drive.

Hey, guys,

what a pleasure you stop by.

- Ivan, how you doing?

- Good.

- Come aboard. Have a drink.

- Not while we're on the job.

- Why not? Relax.

- 'Cause you're coming downtown with us.

You gotta be kidding me.

What's going on?

Okay, I'm coming.

I'm coming, all right?

- Oh, my God.

- I'm coming!

Ivan. What a piece of work.

First of all, it was like he won

an Academy Award.

Then he almost pissed his pants.

He threw a party?

I'm not about to take

this kind of crap from Ivan Nagy.

- So where will I find it?

- It's in my bedroom, in the drawer.

It's a photo of Ivan.

- How many copies do you want me to make?

- About a thousand.

- Really?

- No. Fifty will do.

- Heidi, are you sure?

- 100%.

Guys, I think you'll find

it extremely difficult

to prove these pandering charges.

Yeah, we'll find a way to nail you

and Heidi one way or another.

You don't wanna open

that can of worms.

- No?

- Absolutely.

Listen, Heidi's a party girl.

She just wants to have fun.

- Cops bore her.

- I don't getcha.

Heidi knows what I want her to.

I mean, about you guys.

What I know is an entire different story.

Understand?

Well, we'll just see how everything

plays out in court.

I think maybe I overestimated

your intelligence...

because now my attorneys will be forced

to explore the whole issue...

of the L.A.P.D. Exchanging protection

for sex with prostitutes.

I'd say going back 20 years.

Do you think the media

would be interested in that story?

I'd be delighted if you joined me one day

on my yacht for cocktails.

Get the hell out.

Give my best to your boss.

Thank you.

All of a sudden, I was in

a high-wire act without a net.

Except I wasn't high.

So, what am I supposed to be now,

the biggest f***er on earth?

They are really bringing out

the heavy artillery, Heidi.

They are charging you with

multiple counts of pandering,

prostitution...

and contributing

to the delinquency of a minor.

And they're intending to charge you with

money laundering and tax evasion.

Hell, can't you talk to somebody?

I already talked to the district attorney,

and he's pushing for the maximum sentence.

Damn!

- What about bail?

- Bail's gonna cost $100,000.

If I were you,

I'd go right from here to rehab.

Sounds like I really

pissed 'em off, huh?

- Heidi.

Things went from bad to worse.

Even the balding,

middle-aged tax lawyers were moving on.

"Dear Heidi.

Under the circumstances...

I think it's best that

we don't see each other.

Good luck for the future. Alan. "

- Bummer.

- Can you believe it?

Gutless jerk dumped me by fax.

Watch this.

We won't have to worry about the line.

Ivan, Ivan!

Just a couple, please.

Hey, boys, have fun. Please.

- Hey, sweetheart.

- Ivan, you're all dressed up.

I have to, baby.

Everybody wants me. I'm a star.

- You're letting me win.

- No, no, that's a wicked slice.

Come on, Dad, play for real.

I'm not letting you win,

but I do need...

I do need... you know,

I need to talk to you.

What's the matter?

My lawyer says that I really...

Uh, I'm out on bail.

And, uh, you know, I'm facing a jail term.

I don't know how to handle it.

And it's my fault?

No, Heidi,

I didn't say fault.

I'm not talking about...

I'm not talking about blame.

Then what is it?

What do you think

the right and wrong here is?

- What? The right and wrong?

- Yeah.

Heidi, you know I think

prostitution should be legal.

I'm not talking about prostitution.

I'm talking about me.

Heidi, I don't know.

You know, I mean,

you made your choices, right?

And I hope I gave you the freedom

to make whatever choices...

Anyway, you're all grown up.

You're beyond whatever I can give you.

Heidi, I just hope to God that, you know,

I hope to God you're okay.

I am not okay.

I'm in a jam here!

I'm in a jam.

I'm in a goddamn jam here.

My lawyer says that

I shouldn't see you anymore.

Then say it.

I can't see you anymore.

I never thought

I'd be happy to see that gossip hound.

But then I've never been stuck in rehab with

the road company of Facts of Life.

- Is Heidi there?

- Heidi?

I wonder if you might

excuse us for a few minutes.

Only if I get 40%

for making the introduction.

It's a joke.

So, what can I do for you?

My employer wants to make you an offer.

Yeah?

He wants you to write

your memoirs, you know?

He wants you to name names.

Not interested.

It's a very big offer.

How big?

Three million dollars.

She's naming everybody.

- She left a number.

- She's getting a bundle to give up

the names of her clients.

- She's going to name names.

- Five million.

- Enlightened Creative Management.

How may I help you?

It's for you.

The Hollywood Madam,

she's naming her clients.

Well, I heard that she's

going to name all sorts

of people and they might even make a movie.

What?

Yes, the bottom box office star

is shaking in her boots.

- Of course she's gonna name names.

- Who knows about that book?

We have to get the book back.

I want the book back.

- She's been with all sorts of celebrities.

- The Hollywood Madam.

With all of the jobs

people did for her, she's doing this.

- There's something phony...
