Male Presenter 3: Walker falls out

of the has-beans...

Male Presenter 4: I don't why

this Brody kid is still news.

He hasn't made a good movie in years.

This guy':
doing nothing.

He's a joke.

(groans)

(phone rings)

(phone stops ringing)

(phone rings)

Shut up.

(knock at the door)

(sighs)

Brody:
Come on, man.

It took me forever to get here.

- (knocks on door)

- Open up.

Please?

Come in.

I'll probably get my rims

stolen in this place.

You know, you look a lot better

when you smile.

So, do you have a wife or

a girlfriend or anything?

You ask a lot of questions, Brody.

And you like to avoid them all.

Mm-hmm.

Is this you?

This is some serious SWAT sh*t, man.

What are you doing here, kid?

I mean, seriously.

You have all these

amazing opportunities in life,

yet you keep f***ing them up.

I mean, you're a goddam movie star.

Why are you blowing it?

What, you not happy?

You don't seem

too happy yourself.

Well, that's what happens

when you get shot.

Look, here's the truth.

Okay?

If I don't do this, I am done.

You think anybody gives a sh*t

about me if they're not making money?

At least you got a purpose.

You save people's lives.

Be a hero.

Be a hero?

There's nothing heroic

about what I do.

I get paid to knock down doors

for a living

regardless of

what's on the other side.

If we happen to make

a difference, well,

that's a good thing.

D0 you?

Do I what?

Feel you make a difference?

I could ask you the same question.

Not that you really give a sh*t,

but this opportunity that I have,

this movie,

is my last chance, man.

I know I've screwed up.

I pissed a lot of people off.

Do you have any idea

what it's like having the press

constantly knocking you down

no matter what you do?

No.

People only know what they see.

I'm being told what to do,

what to wear, who to date.

I don't even know who I am anymore.

But I know what I need.

And I need your help.

No more bullshit.

I promise.

Truce?

Let's take a drive.

Come on.

- Everything ready?

- Yeah. We're all good on our end.

Just make sure you're back online

the second that grid kicks back up.

We will be.

Ryker, Ben, synchronizing.

Five, four, three, two, one.

(watch beeps)

Brody:
We've been driving for, like,

an hour. Where are we going?

David:
I already told you.

Brody:
No,

all you said was, You'll see.

David:
Exactly.

Brody:
See, this is why you

don't have any friends.

(door buzzes)

Hey, great to see you back, David.

- David:
You too, brother.

- You're good.

(laughing)

Hey, I really appreciate this.

I think he's a good kid.

Stupid, but good.

It works for me.

(laughs)

Come on. Hey.

I'm gonna be giving you
