And I'm thinking
that television news
might just be
something I love
as well as something
I happen to be good at.
On TV, it looks so real.
Yes. It does.
Well,
I have a show to do.
Your check is
at the desk.
Outstanding work, Lou.
Really, just great.
Thanks, Nina.
OK3'! -
It's every
parent's nightmare.
Imagine singing a lullaby lo your
infant and tucking them into bed
and then having
to shield them
as a barrage of
high-caliber bullets
literally blast
into your home.
For the Cahiils
of Echo Park,
that fear became
a terrifying reality
when an adjacent house
became the setting for a scene
right out of the Wild West.
MANI:
Dude!
Paying loo much
at the pump?
Well, sign up for

Takes minutes to sign up
and you'll start
saving right away.
You'll also be eligible
for some sweet giveaways.
So sign up now
and start saving!
Rick, I'm very pleased
with how you progressed.
However, you just spilled
gasoline on my car
which will eat the paint.
I need you tighten
up a bit on this.
Because if you fill
it like that again,
I will terminate
you immediately,
I promise you.
"Bed, Bath & Beyond. "
Oh, that's a good store.
Making peace
with what you don't have,
that's what it's all about
Living with what
you ain't got, right?
Don't you think?
Traffic units,
ambulance traffic,
Benedict Canyon.
Overturned vehicle
with injuries
Crash with injuries.
Good neighborhood.
TV news.
What happened?
I think it was
a head-on collision,
and there's a guy
who's dead over there.
There's a woman...
Did you see what happened?
Am I supposed to help?
I didn't see, I came after.
Can you tell me
exactly what happened?
Will you get the camera
out of my face?
Get it out!
I'm trying to talk to 911!
No, it's at...
The guy is down.
Make some room!
We'll block it off.
Son of a b*tch.
Let's go.
F*** this.
Here you go.
same gold tie on Fridays.
We're leading with it.
That's your third
start this week.
I'm focusing on framing.
draws the eye into a picture
dissolving the barrier
between the subject and
the outside of the frame.
Is that blood
on your shirt?
I don't think so.
a Mexican restaurant
called Cabanita.
Have you heard of it?
It's also on your sleeve.
I didn't see that
What I'm asking is,
do you like
Mexican food, Nina?
Yes.
Stand by, people.
Here we go.
Cabanita has been called
"an authentic
taste of Mexico City. "
Do you wanna go with me?
I think we could
have fun together.
Thanks, but I'm busy.
Saturday is your
night off, isn't it?
I have a rule, Lou.
I don't date
people I work with.
And I'm twice your age.
Like older women.
Besides,
I don't work with you.
You're someone I sell to.
And I don't
wanna f*** that up.
What if by saying no,
you f*** it up?
All right, 10 seconds
to go and back on.
Is that what you're saying?
I didn't say that.
Eight, seven,
six, five...
Well' I don't know
what to say.
...three, two, one.
Good morning. Thank you
forjoining us. I'm Lisa Mays.
And I'm Ben Waterman.
First up on This Morning
on KWLA News,
a horrible car crash
over in Benedict Canyon.
It's claimed the life
now of one man.
Severely injured
a young woman.
Hey, Lou!
Hey, man.
Joe Loder, Mayhem.
Great get tonight.
They were closing it down
by the time we showed up.
Were you waiting
for me out here?
No, I was driving by
and I saw your car.
You're not dropping your sh*t
off, are you'? Nobody does that.
You need an air card if you
want to be in the game.
Import the video
to your laptop.
Cut the video.
Upload to your FTP site
and notify stations
you got something for sale.
Boom, boom, boom!
Othenuise,
it's a nice ride.
Listen, man,
you got a good run going
but there's valleys
out there.
Take it from me. I've been
nightcrawling for 14 years.
You heard I'm
adding a second van?
No. I didn't hear that
Gonna be a game changer.
Cut my on-scene time
in half.
I'm setting up
a dedicated dispatch, too.
No more listening and driving.
That's for suckers.
You like the Canon 305s?
Never used one.
Six thou a piece.
2.4 megapixels. Night vision.
18:
1 zoom.I got one of those puppies
with your name on it.
I have a camera.
I want you
running my second van.
Two crews.
Half the area to cover.
Now, I know
what you're thinking.
Half the money, right?
You should be thinking,
twice the sales.
Because we're
going to be the first
at every scene.
Why compete when we
can work together?
You can share
my press cards.
Puppy dog off my
police connections.
This is the big move,
the next level.
We can corner
this whole thing.
I'm talking about putting some
heavy digits in our pocket, brah.
Thank you for
offering me the position
but working for
myself is more in line
with my skills
and career goals.
Take a few days
No.
You'll need to
hire someone else,
and I don't want to
hold up the process.
You want to be on
the inside of this, man
because I'm going to be
tag-teaming every call.
You keep talking
like it's something
that I may be interested
in, but I'm not.
You don't even
understand the offer.
If you did, you'd be
f***ing sucking my dick!
You'd be asking me
questions.
What does this mean?
What does that mean?
I feel like grabbing you
by your ears right now
and screaming
in your face,
"I'm not
f***ing interested. "
Instead, I'm going to drive
home and do some accounting.
F*** you!
Twerp.
I didn't
wake up until 5:
00.My body is so off, I feel
like it's time for breakfast.
I bet you're beautiful
any time of the day.
In fact, I'd say
you're much prettier
than Lisa Mays.
I like the dark
makeup on your eyes.
I also like
the way you smell.
So, where you from, Lou?
The north end
of the Valley.
Some of the calls sometimes
lake me over there,
but nobody I know
still lives out there.
You're from Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.
How did you know that?
It's online.
Everything about you
is online.
Not everything,
but definitely a lot.
I've watched all the videos
from when you were a reporter.
I'm sure you look
at those, of course.
No. God, no.
Not without
a drink in my hand.
I watch my work
all the time.
Yeah? Do you want
to become a reporter?
No.
Most of you guys
want airtime.
Not me.
I want to be the guy that owns the
station that owns the camera.
The business
is going well,
but in order to
grow to the next level,
I need to stay one step
ahead of my competition
and take risks.
I also need financial support
to implement expansion.
Would you like
another margarita?
One is enough.
Thanks for
coming out to talk.
The place I'm in now
is that I want
