Paparazzi Page #4

This guy- Leonard Clark?

He used to be an attorney.

He got himself disbarred

for distribution of narcotics.

Is that right?

What do you think

the son of a b*tch does?

He turns around and sues the police

department for illegal search and seizure.

Cost the city a million bucks

just to make it go away.

He's still on probation for

possession of illegal firearms.

Really.

And this other guy- Harper?

The guy you slapped around?

He slimed his way out of

an attempted rape charge.

Guess who the attorney was.

- Leonard Clark?

- Yeah.

And by the way, you're not

the first deep pockets he got into.

- This actor, Andy Baldwin?

- Alec?

Yeah. One of

those Baldwin guys.

Anyway, he slaps Harper around.

Harper takes him to the cleaners...

and then Harper moves into

a boat in the marina.

Now, listen, Bo...

until I get this thing straightened out-

I know that you actors have people

and places you wanna keep confidential.

Right.

If I were you, I would be very careful

about what I said on my cell phone.

- Really. Why's that?

- Because for a couple hundred dollars...

you can go to

your local radio guy...

and you can drop in

on anybody at any time.

- Bo, we're ready for you on set.

- Okay.

Listen, Detective, thanks for coming by.

I appreciate it.

I'll speak to you soon.

Okay? Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm scared for Zach. I-

Part of me just wants to take him

back to Montana where he can feel secure.

I don't think

he's gonna get that here.

- Hey, Reg. Where you at, man?

- Yeah, I just got here.

Nicole Kidman's

coming by for a lunch meeting.

- I'm on it.

- See you in a sec.

You hear that, Leonard,

you piece of sh*t?

Sorry, man.

Can't let you slide.

Mr. Laramie's orders.

- Do you mind?

- Yes, I do.

- What's going on, Reg?

- Uninvited guest.

Oh, yeah?

I don't see anybody hurt or naked.

You sure you're in the right place, Leonard?

Very funny.

Ha-ha-ha-ha.

Get rid of him, Reg.

- You heard him.

- Don't touch me!

I'm leaving.

Emergency Response.

Listen, there's a guy with

a blue metallic Volvo station wagon-

He's waving a gun

all over the place!

- What is your location?

- Westbound on Sunset Boulevard!

We're coming up to Western now!

His license number is ABM543.

He's a white guy! He's crazy!

Get somebody down here!

All units, be on

the lookout for a blue Volvo wagon...

license Adam-Baker-Mary 543.

Approach with caution.

Driver has priors

for illegal weapons possession.

Last seen heading westbound

on Sunset near Western.

Pull over immediately!

- Pull your vehicle over.!

- Oh, bollocks.

- Do you wanna see a license?

- Show me your hands.! Get your hands up.!

- Do it now.! Right now.!

- What the hell is this?

Gun.!

And I'll let you stay up

as late as you want...

until 10:
00.

Do you want a new bike?

We need you to wake up.

One man is dead in what people are

describing as a bizarre "suicide by cop. "

The victim, Leonard Clark,

pointed a weapon at several officers...

who were forced to open fire...

killing the man instantly.

Details are still sketchy,

but police are describing the weapon...

as a modified. 45-caliber blank gun...

commonly used

in the motion picture industry.

We're awaiting a press conference

by the authorities...

and we'll bring it to you live,

when it happens.

Hi. You've reached

Wendell Stokes Photography.

You got somethin'to say, say it.

Wendell, it's Rex. Pick up the phone.!

Leonard's dead.!

Pick up the phone.!

- It was Laramie, and I know it.

- Did you call Burton?

Yeah. Know what he said?

"The case is under investigation. "

Look, he's coming for us next, man.

You know that.

Yeah, but at least

we'll know when he's coming.

The cops don't

go after him, Wendell...

we will.

- Did you get those from Rudy?

- Yep.

Oh, these are beauties.

They'll transmit

to my system perfectly.

H- How are we supposed to get in?

Have a little faith, my friend.

Now, you would think

people would be more careful.

- Are you gonna be all right?

- Mm-hmm.

If I don't feel well,

I'll have Ken cover my class.

Well,just call me and I'll have Reggie

pick you up if there's any problem.

Shh! I'll be fine.

Okay. All right.

I'll be with Zach all afternoon.

- I'll see you two for lunch at the hospital.

- Mm-hmm.

- I love you, beautiful.

- I love you too.

- I'll see you soon.

- Okay.

- How's Zach?

- He's still in stable condition.

- Thanks for asking.

- That's good news, Bo.

- What you got?

- It might be a while. We're running a little behind.

I have script changes for you,

and there's a Detective Burton here.

- I told him he could wait in your trailer.

- He's in my trailer? Thanks.

- Oh, hiya, Bo.

- Hey.

- That little girl outside, she said it was okay-

- No, no, of course.

- How's it going?

- Oh, good.

Geez, look at this place.

It's amazing.

My kids will not believe this.

- You got kids, huh?

- Yeah.

- Really? How many kids you got?

- Six girls.

- Six girls? Wow.

- I kept trying for the boy, but-

It sounds like it.

- Well, I guess you know why I'm here, Bo.

- It's pretty hard to miss.

- So you know what I'm talking about?

- Leonard Clark, no?

Can you believe this guy?

He pulls a gun

on half of our department.

- Well, the guy's a bit of a jerk. Come on.

- Hey.

- Sorry to interrupt, Bo.

- No, it's all right.

Okay, here you go, Detective. This is a copy

of the paperwork we gave to the A.T.F.

Well, thank you, Charlie. Thank you

very much. I'll stop by on my way out.

All right.

Oh, yeah, we traced the gun here.

Charlie reported it missing.

You know Leonard Clark

was here that day, right?

I heard that.

Bo...

I've now got two

dead paparazzi...

that were involved

in your accident.

I wish I could tell you more

about these clowns. It's-

I don't know, it just takes

a certain kind of person...

that would do something like this.

Complete and utter distortion

of the truth.

Welcome to my world, Detective.

I'll tell you, Bo...

I don't know what I would do

if anyone ever hurt one of my family.

I'm running up against it

on this one, Bo.

What do you think?

I think you're dealing with a random

accident and a suicide. That's what I think.

Well, as it turns out...

Rosner's accident

might not be that random.

The investigators

are still looking into it.

And now...

I've got this gun.

Excuse me one second.

Excuse me, Bo.

Paul sends his apologies.

- That's okay. How soon until I'm up?

.00 tomorrow morning.

10:
00 tomorrow?

All right. Thanks, sweetie.

If that's it,

I'm gonna head home.

- Hey, I'm done here.

- Okay.

Oh, Bo, there is one thing,

and I hate to ask.

Would you sign a picture

for my kids?

- Of course.

- If it's not too much trouble.

- Let me just grab a pen.

- Here.

- Why don't you use this?

- Fine.

Thank you.

There you go.

- Thanks.

- Sure.

Maybe it's for one of us!

- Bo!

- Abby!

Bo.!

- Help me!

- Abby!

- Shut up! Shut up!

- Wendell!

What the hell are you doing?

Oh! It's Laramie.
