I do understand Heather.

No, you don't.

- Where were you last night?

- [SCOFFS]

I don't have to answer

your questions.

- Why can't you tell me where you were?

- You know what?

Tell me if Heather

was really with Tracy.

- Why does that matter?

- I wanna know.

Why?

F*** you, Jill.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

[ELEVATOR DOOR OPENS]

- CASSANDRA:
Just like two seconds.

- I don't have the key, so...

- Well, maybe you left on the table.

- F***in' left it at the f***in' bar.

We can get one at the damn desk,

all right?

DEVIN:
Okay.

[ELEVATOR BUTTON RATTLES]

[LOCK BEEPS, DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[LOCK BEEPS]

What the f***?

What?

- Why are the lights on?

- [SCOFFS]

How should I know?

Sorry.

You're freakin' me out.

Okay, we need to talk about

last night.

CASSANDRA:
Last night?

Were you at home?

Yeah.

All night?

Yeah.

Why are you asking?

Probably won't even

come up,

but if the police

talk to you

I need you to tell them

that we were together.

CASSANDRA:
When?

Last night,

up until this morning.

[SIGHS]

When I talked to the police,

I said I spent the night

at your house.

Why did you

tell them that?

I went up to my place in

Joshua Tree last night, alone,

which means

I don't have an alibi.

So, you want me

to lie to the police?

You trust me, right?

Look,

if it was gonna be a big deal,

I wouldn't ask you

to do it.

It's just... [SIGHS]

It's gonna make it easier,

okay?

I have to pee.

DEVIN:
[EXHALES DEEPLY]

[GRUNTS, CLEARS THROAT]

- [KNOCK ON DOOR]

- I wanna take a shower.

If I can take a shower,

I think I'll feel better.

CASSANDRA:
Okay.

[WATER RUNNING]

[PHONE DIALING]

[PHONE RINGING]

[TIRES SQUEAL, ENGINE REVS]

- [SIGHS]

- You okay?

I dunno.

I want you

to look at something.

- What's this?

- I found it in Devin's hotel room.

They... they were missing

from Heather's house,

and the detective

that I was talking to,

what he thinks is

that someone took them

to make it look like

a burglary gone wrong.

Devin's obsessed

with these things.

How do you know this isn't

another one that he owns?

Oh, I dunno.

I guess I don't.

TRACY:

Everything okay?

Yeah. Fine.

I brought you these.

What are they?

They'll calm you down

and help you sleep.

Don't worry,

I take them all the time.

Oh, God.

I do wanna sleep.

It's okay.

It'll be good to sleep.

[WATER RUNNING]

[TOILET FLUSHES]

[TRACY SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY

IN DISTANCE]

[INDISTINCT SPEAKING

CONTINUES]

[FIREPLACE SHUTS OFF]

TRACY:
I can get her

to come up to the cabin.

No.

She's asleep now.

Yeah.

I just really think

I should bring her up there

before something happens.

[ENGINE STARTS]

AHN:
Jill.

It's Detective Ahn.

I need you to come in

because we have to talk.

See, what I think is

that you haven't told me

the whole truth.

Um,

I hope you'll call me back.

And I wanted...

"Hashtag Heather Anderson."

"Hashtag Heather Anderson

O.M.G.

Hashtag heart Heather."

That is so many hashtags.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

[GLASS SHATTERS]

You want this?

JILL:
No.

I obviously

can't be trusted with it.

You sure?

TRACY:
Hi. It's Tracy.

I can't pick up the phone

right now.

Leave a message

and I'll call you back.

[BEEP]

[CELLPHONE BEEPS]

[THUDS]

- HEATHER:
Looking for me?

- Jesus, f***!

Hello to you, too.

Oh, my God, I knew it.

I knew you weren't dead.

Of course

you're not f***ing dead!

I'm really happy

you're here.

You killed her,

didn't you?

You must've shot her

in self defense.

What are you doing here?

I was so scared.

I was...

so f***ing scared.

And I don't know, maybe I

wanted to disappear anyway.

You know the police

think that I did it?

My prints are on the gun,

and I'm the only one

who they're sure

was at the house.

Okay, but now you can help me,

though.

- I'll go back to sort it out.

- Help you?!

Heather,

I'm the one that needs help.

Okay, yeah, we can do that, too.

Don't worry about it.

Oh, you're always telling me

not to worry about it.

Yeah, because you worry

too much.

I thought that you were dead!

I thought that you were gone!

- The police think that I killed you!

- Okay. I'm sorry.

I know I f***ed up.

I'm sorry.

I did a bad thing.

I just...

I knew they'd figure out

it wasn't me who was dead,

eventually.

Yeah,

that's not the f***ing point.

Me and Tracy

thought you'd be okay.

Look, we'll stay here tonight,

we'll hang out,

and in the morning

we'll go.

No. It's not fun.

It's not

a f***ing sleepover.

Of course it's not fun.

I know it's not fun.

Jill...

Look, I know

it's not a sleepover.

I... I'm sorry.

Look, I know it seems like

I don't get it.

But I do. I get it.

Jill, I'm sorry,

but I need you.

Not as my assistant,

but as my friend.

You're like... you're like

my only f***ing friend!

Jill, don't go.

I'll do whatever it takes

to make it up to you, okay?

Just, um...

Just try not to f*** up my face

permanently.

Okay, sorry.

No, no.

Just... just do it.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Do it how you want.

Okay.

[DOOR OPENS]

Hey.

They're ready for you.

Whenever you are.

I'm not ready.

Yes, you are.

- [KNOCK ON DOOR]

- Come in.

Hey, um,

so we're pretty much set,

but Vanessa wanted

to come and talk to Heather

for a moment

before we get started?

Okay. Just a minute.

Thanks.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Come in.

Expecting someone else?

Yeah.

Listen, don't blame

the guys upstairs.

I had to work my badge

pretty hard to get past them.

What are you

doing here?

Can't I stop by

to say hello?

Is everything

all right?

Yes. Yeah. Fine.

There's no problem.

So anyway, I-I...

I heard about this interview,

and I gotta admit,

I was pretty curious

about it.

Curious how?

I know

I could watch on TV,

but, um, listen,

would you mind

if I stuck around

to see it live?

The way I understand it,

a lot of these interviews

wind up

on the cutting room floor,

and I'd like to see

the whole thing.

You know?

I'm sorry.

- Is... is the case closed?

- Yes.

No, the case is closed.

This is entirely

unofficial.

In fact,

it's really up to you.

I'll go if you want,

but I would like to stay.

- [KNOCK ON DOOR]

- Uh, just a minute.

So what d'ya say?

You can stay.

Thank you.

I wanna start by saying,

it's good to see you.

I mean it.

It's good to see you,

too.

I remember

when I first met you,

what impressed me so much was

how self-assured you were.

- I think you were 17?

- I was 18.

Well, I can honestly say

that you have not lost

an ounce of grace

over the years.

Thank you.

But now you find yourself

in the aftermath of

a very difficult situation,

one that goes way beyond movies,

well beyond celebrity.

You're right,

this is, um...

- It's real life.
