You actually become

your character!

So that's what Angela's doing.

She's crossing the bridge.

What if the bridge collapses?

Recognition, Reparations, Restitution.

Today

is the day of our redemption!

Today Turkey faces the truth!

Recognition, reparations, restitution!

The cries for

justice continue here in Los Angeles...

as tens of thousands of Armenians march

from the Turkish Consulate to City Hall.

Where will they go next?

Hello?

You are

a traitor to your race, Simon.

You will lose everything!

This is Jeffrey Laufton

from the Los Angeles... what?

Protests? You can't protest

the Los Angeles Theatre!

What the... do you know

who... hung up.

Who was that?

I don't know. Turks, Armenians, I

can't tell the difference anymore.

They're all boycotting

my theater!

I mean, why on earth are the Armenians

against us, I thought they love you?

Do you know what these are?

They're death threats,

death threats, Simon.

Free speech.

Yeah, free speech... let me tell

you something about free speech.

Right-left, Turks-Armenians...

Navajo-Apache, you name it.

And then... and then we can

I mean, we could bring back

Dolma the Musical...

and pick up right where we

left off seven years ago.

Does genocide mean

nothing to you?

Oh, come on,

genocide schmen-ocide!

You are putting on a stage

play for one night only...

with the proceeds going

to a goddamn charity!

This is my theater, too.

I've made sacrifices in this theater.

My family has made sacrifices.

I know. I know you have, but this

has become such a controversy...

the Times is sending

in a reporter.

One night, Jeffrey,

and then I'm gone.

One night and this

is all history.

On the other side of this night, there is

only death for you and damnation for me.

Come, Ani.

On the other side of this night,

there is only damnation...

death for you

and damnation for me.

I'm so excited to be working here

with talented actors like you.

We put on plays at our home.

Oh, yeah?

Do you like living there?

It's all right, but I've always
