Children. I'm literally not making

a dime off this. This is not about the money. - Then what is it about? You can't expect us

to think this is only about closure,

Mr. Johnson. There has to be more to it. - Oh there is. For the past few months

I've been living in fear. And the death of my family,

along with the fact that that psychotic... That he's still out

there, well that's been my cross to bear

on a daily basis. Today I am no longer afraid. I will be a victim no more. I refuse to be silent

any longer. If that twisted

son of a b*tch wants to find me, well he knows

where I live. - Okay folks,

that is all the time we have for today,

I'm Angela Rose, and this is Rose Live. - [Voiceover] And we're clear. - So did you get

what you wanted? - You just aired the

longest death sentence in TV history and I

did nothing to stop it. - Yeah, well think of

the ratings you'll get. (rock music) - What'll it be, gorgeous? - Whiskey please. - Hey babe. It's a little early for

that, don't you think? - Well see, my boyfriend,

he kicked me out of the apartment,

and this drink right here symbolizes the only money I have left. - Such a shame. With a body like yours,

you'd be raking the dough here in no time. - You think? - I know so, baby. - Are y'all hiring? - We're always hiring

beautiful girls. - So who do I talk to? - You're talking to me, doll. You know, I'm the only

man you'll ever need. - So you must be the owner then? - You could say I'm in charge. - The hell you are. - Hey, you shut the f*** up! Wink is dead,

you f***ing hear me, I'm the f***ing boss here now! You f***ing hear me?! Such a f***ing a**hole. - Somebody died? - Yeah, a former manager here. Got his head popped off

like a champagne cork. (chuckles) - Well that just

sounds terrible. - Not for me. Not for me, next in line

to the throne, baby. Once Lopez signs off

on it, I'll be running this joint and The Rancors. - Well I love me a powerful man. - [Voiceover] Then you're

gonna love me. - Well I was gonna go

out and get some things and I was gonna be right back. Would you wait for me? - I don't wait for no one. But for those I'll make

an exception. - I'll be right back. She'll be the little small

town girl from somewhere 'Cause she's got fast cars,

nice shoes Bad habits and blues, got

everything a tough girl needs Nice legs, killer smile, great

body (dramatic piano music) - Come on, you bastard. I've done my part. Now it's your turn. Oh the shark, babe, has such

teeth, dear And it shows them pearly

whites Just a jackknife - Mama mia, delicious! And he keeps it out of sight You know when that shark

bites with his teeth, babe Scarlet billows start to

spread Fancy gloves, oh, wears

MacHeath, babe So there's never, never a

trace of red Now let that thick smoke on

the sidewalk Huh, ooo Sunday morning, uh

huh Lies a body oozing life - Wait. Someone's sneaking around the

corner Could that someone be ol' Mack

the Knife There's a tugboat, huh, huh Down by the river don't you

know Where a cement bag's

just dropping on down - You can definitely be

in the movie, Marcie. Let's just see

how grateful you are. I'm gonna make you work for it. (music changes

to classical music) Five will get ya a dime

old Macky's back in town You hear 'bout Louie Miller He did to the rhythm, honey (music changes back)

- What the hell? You know it's a sin

to tell a lie Still you keep saying

I love you It may be true, I wish I knew But I'm giving fair warning to

you Be sure it's true

when you say I love you It's a sin to tell a lie Five gonna get you a dime

old Macky's back in town Now did you hear about Louie

Miller He did to the rhythm, honey After drawing out all

his hard-earned cash And now MacHeath spends

just like a sailor (screaming) - [Voiceover] Hello,

girls and boys. I'm your Peter Pan storyteller. When you hear this sound. (bell dings) You turn the page. Now let's read

the story together. Here we go. Alice in Wonderland. (fanciful music) On a warm summer day

many years ago, a little girl named Alice

was making daisy chains in the grass

when suddenly, right in front of her,

ran a little white rabbit with long ears and pink eyes. (bell dings) He was wearing white gloves

and he carried a green umbrella and

a little magic fan. - [Rabbit] Oh my ears

and whiskers, I mustn't be late,

I mustn't be late! (fanciful music) I'm a silly little

rabbit from Wonderland I got a green umbrella

and a magic fan I'd like to stay

and play with you But I've got things I must do Hippity hop, hippity hop,

I'm off to Wonderland (giggles) - [Voiceover] And away

ran the little white rabbit and jumped down

the rabbit hole with Alice following

right behind him. (orchestral sting) (bell dings) Alice found herself

sitting at the bottom of the rabbit hole

in the middle of a big room surrounded by many beautiful golden doors, all tightly shut. Then she spied

a golden key lying on a little glass table. - [Alice] Maybe this

will fit one of the doors and I'll find the white rabbit. (bell dings) - [Voiceover] But

the only door that the key would fit

was hanging there. (screaming) This door was hardly as

big as a dollhouse door. - [Alice] Oh dear, I'll

never fit through that door. - [Voiceover] But just

then, Alice saw a bottle with the words "drink me"

written on it. (bell dings) So she took a drink

from the bottle. - [Alice] My goodness,

I'm getting smaller! And smaller! And smaller! - [Voiceover] And there was

little Alice, so very very small,

until she spied a little box

lying near the wall. In the box was a small cake with the words "eat me"

marked in raisins. So she ate the cake. - [Alice] Oh my goodness,

I'm getting taller! And taller! And taller! Stop, stop! (bell dings) - [Voiceover] Alice was now over nine feet high

and so frightened, she didn't notice

the white rabbit coming down the hall. (fanciful music) I'm a silly little

rabbit from Wonderland Where turtles go to

school and think it's grand Where elephants are

as big as fleas And now if you will pardon me I'll take off

like the breeze (screaming) - [Voiceover] As the rabbit

ran away, he dropped his little magic fan. (bell dings) Turn the record over and we will continue on the other side. (dramatic music) - Goddammit. Fell asleep again. I knew it. No more booze! Come on Jake, come on! Keep your head clear. Come on come on,

wake up, come on! What the hell? Damn washer. (dramatic sting) F***! (glass shatters) Mark? (sirens wailing)

(police radio noise) - I told you not to release

the book! What do you do? You go on live TV! Don't blow me off, Jake! We had a deal, okay? I help you find the psycho and you don't release the book. - Mark's dead because of me. - Yeah, because he

doesn't want to kill you. He wants to torture you. And now he's gonna do everything he can to target every person you've ever loved

or cared about. We have to get you out of here now and into protective custody. - Yeah, not gonna happen. I'm not going anywhere. If he shows up,
