(Tanya)

One question for you.

Hows it feel to

be a hero, Mr. Steele?

(male)

Michael?

Tell us your thoughts on

yourwife s acceptance speech.

Mywhat?

Well, you created

quite a stir

not showing up

to win your award.

[Sentimental instrumental

music playing]

I guess The Academy

frowns on that.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

[Cameras shuttering]

(male radio announcer)

We re all over

the top story again

here on

'The Mike Gallagher Show.'

It s Michael Steelewho, in

a stirring change of events,

was cleared this morning

of all allegations.

He was a no show at

the Academy Awards,

not because he was hiding

but because he was saving

this young boys life.

(male)

Mike, I admit,

I was wrong.

(male)

Mike, I admit,

I was wrong.

He s not a Hollywood

phony, after all.

What can I say about

Michael Steele?

The question reallyis,

what s he gonna do next?

(Kenny)

Buddy, you are the first

Oscarwinner in history

who couldnt get a single

offer for his nextjob

and then a stirring

change of events.

The studio did its own

investigation and fired

Mr. Colin Buchanan and you

are going back to work Monday.

Kenny, I m not sure

I want to continue acting.

Saywhat?

No, now dont

freak out on me, man.

I want to finish this film

but then take some time off

you know, and take a

fresh look down the line.

What is this?

Is this one ofyour,

'I cant explain why

but I have to do it anyway'

kind of things?

I had this dream

a fewweeks ago,

it turned myworld

upside down.

Don t remind me.

Itwas an ugly time

for all of us.

I m trying to

keep it thatway.

You re a

piece ofwork.

That s what

Annie used to say.

Guess who they

want to direct

the rest

of'Chasing Evidence? '

[Music]

What s up?

Hey, guys.

Do we look

well adjusted orwhat?

We finished our

year at the center.

So you

came here?

Well, we dontwant

to go home, you know?

Whoo!

You got a pool

back here?

Yes, you do.

Whoo!

I told him that

we shouldnt bother you.

Hey... read this.

I think it s called,

the Sermon on the Mountain.

I know Annie had it all

marked up so I figured

I should read it.

Want to take

a swim too?

Yeah.

Thanks.

[Water splashing]

(George)

Don twet me!

[Instrumental rock
