Using their dishonest methods of getting the money shot regardless of what it takes, they'll stop at nothing in exploiting Bo for every last penny. But when one of their ventures nearly costs Bo's life and that of his family when they cause a car accident and do nothing afterwords except take photos, Bo has finally reached his breaking point.

- Huh?

- Is that Bo?

Oh, are you gonna pay.

Smile, Bo.

You get that?

- Ooh, in living color, chief.

- Cops are on their way.

- Bo!

- Hey, Bo.

Hey, big shot.!

Enjoy what's left of your weekend.

Let's go make some money.

Oh, yeah? huh?

Wow. We're told Laramie was released

late Saturday afternoon...

ordered to attend

anger-management classes...

as part of a plea agreement.

His people tell us the assault charges

will likely be dropped...

in lieu of a settlement

that could easily cost...

the rising star

half a million dollars.

The victim, 34-year-old Rex Harper...

is also demanding a public apology.

Our very own Giuliana

caught up with Bo...

on the set of

his new action movie.

- Giuliana?

- Thanks, Patrick.

- And thank you for agreeing to sit down with me.

- Thanks for having me.

Bo,just so we understand

what happened...

you became angry

at some photographers...

after they were taking pictures of you

at a weekend soccer game?

Mr. Harper was

taking pictures of my son.

I politely asked him to stop,

and he didn't.

So you hit him?

Well, there's a little bit

more to it than that, but,yeah.

This guy is nothing

but a low-class parasite.

- Your parasite's right here.

- He's never gonna get an apology from me.

And ifhe knows what's good for him,

he'll stay away from me and my family.

- Can you believe this prick?

- Strong words.

Yeah.

Yeah. I gotta go.

Laramie, I'm gonna destroy your life

and eat your soul...

and I can't wait to do it.

Well, here's one for ya.

You're lucky.

Real lucky.

Ajudge orders me to spend

$400 an hour on therapy...

that I don't need,

and that makes me lucky?

You're lucky

you're not in jail.

You're not

in Montana anymore, Bo.

Anger management is not about

upgrading from a 20 to a 12-gauge.

The point is...

you're carrying belief systems

from a previous life...

that don't fit

your new reality.

Some of your old values

may not be valuable anymore.

Not here, not now.

Well, I disagree.

You don't mess

with a man's family.

And I'm not gonna change

who I am...

to suit my environment

or your expectations.

I got to where I am

by doing things my own way.

Oh, I think the judge

would agree with you.

That's not what I meant, but-

No, I know that.

Look, your, uh-

your time here-

it's gonna give you the tools to better

deal with situations like last Saturday's.

And I'm considerably cheaper

than Mr. Harper.

- All right. Is that it?

- For now, yes.

And, uh, if you have a problem,

I want you to call me.

All right.

Thank you.

I'll see you next week.

Thanks, Phil.

Clear.

Must be cold as hell this time of year.

- Huh?

- Switzerland.

- What do you mean?
