Okay, I talked to the director. I told him no

more than two full run-throughs of this song.

Are you okay?

Do you need some air?

I think you need some air.

Can everyone please

back off, she needs air.

I mean it. Back off.

Put this on.

- What's going on?

Your plane ticket and passport are

in the pocket.

This gate's closed, you gotta go around the front.

- You gotta let me in.

Wait.

Don't call anyone.

Just lay low for a little while, give me some

time I'll make sure that someone gets to you.

I'm a doctor.

She is gonna f***ing die and

it's gonna be your fault.

She's gonna f***ing die.

Trista, wait.

- No.

I pushed back your concert dates

and canceled your video shoot.

And I'm not mad at you,

even though I know

you tried to leave,

I'm not mad at you.

When were you gonna tell me?

Tell you what?

- About the baby.

I'm pregnant?

- Three weeks.

You didn't know?

It's gonna be okay.

I know what you're trying to do.

You want the whole world to love you.

That's a dangerous f***ing life.

And you can't do it alone. But I'm gonna

take care of you, I'm gonna make that happen.

All your dreams will come true.

And to put that aside would mean

that he died for no reason.

It would mean you killed

him for no reason.

No, we have a deal.

He got in the way. And I did my part.

Now it's time for you to do your part.

We both lost someone special.

Now it's time to move on.

I hate you.

Until the day I die, I will hate you.

You can't keep the baby.

- What?

You got concert dates and TV appearances,

you can't keep the baby.

It's my baby.

- No one gets in the way. No one!

You got a concert date in two weeks,

gives us plenty of time to take care of this.

I'm gonna make the arrangements.

Wait.

You're gonna have to reach for me.

I need you.

You saved a life today.

- You too.

It's funny...

It's the only thing that matters,

all the rest of it...

I'm glad your baby's okay.

Me too.

Thanks for the car.

- Sure

I'll get it back to you as soon as I can

- Whenever.

You okay?

Yeah, I will be.

It's hard, starting over.

You'll be fine.

So will you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry sir, but you can't go in there.

Sir, you're not allowed.

That was crazy.

Are you okay?
