The Spearhead Effect Page #2

---

there is no denying

you endured

an awful tragedy with the

death of your mother.

Do you believe yourself to be

in the right state of mind

to face all this attention?

I've never felt better.

[Shelby] Well, your profile

has certainly picked up steam

in the last few weeks.

How have your friends and

family reacted to all of this?

It's... It's great.

It's wonderful to have

support behind me.

It... it... Everyone

has just been... great.

[Shelby] I'd like to thank you, Mr.

Stetson, for being on my show.

[cell phone vibrating]

See the interview yet?

Dad?

[Mr. Stetson] No, I haven't.

Do you want me to resend

you the link?

[Mr. Stetson] No, no,

don't worry about it.

I support you, Jake, but I don't

support you making yourself a target.

I'm fine, Dad. Okay?

- [Mr. Stetson] Yeah, well, you sleeping okay?

- Yeah.

It's good. Any more of those

nasty emails or threats?

Dad, okay, anybody is...

Anyone...

gets death threats, all right?

- [Mr. Stetson] It's one way of looking at it.

- Yeah.

Look, you didn't just embarrass those

c*nts, you toyed with their livelihood.

Look, Dad, if we're just

gonna talk about this,

why don't I just call you

tomorrow, okay?

[Mr. Stetson] They are not

gonna take that lightly.

Yeah, nor should they.

[Mr. Stetson] Why don't you come up

for a little while? Take a break.

Get your mind off things.

Dad...

I don't wanna talk about this, you know.

I'll call you tomorrow.

[Mr. Stetson] Jake,

would you just...

Hey, can I get an autograph?

[laughs]

What's up, man?

Hey.

How you doing, dude?

Ah, you scared

the sh*t out of me.

You seem like an easy target.

Wait, what are you doing here?

I thought you were still

up at school.

Grad school.

Journalism, right?

Yeah, I graduated like,

- last summer.

- Oh.

Came here looking for a job.

Any luck?

- No. Nothing.

- Well...

I tried calling you. What,

you changed your number?

Yeah.

Stupid thing. You know, you

got to be safe sometimes.

Check out.

I wish you had let me

know you were in town,

we could've got a drink.

Ah, man, I've been slammed anyway,

don't worry about it, you know...

How you... You doing

okay, yourself?

Yeah, I've never been better.

What are you

doing right now?

Want to grab a drink?

Place down the street

has a great Taco Tuesday.

It's Thursday, dude.

That's right, yeah.

I got some research

to do anyway, so...

let's make it tomorrow.

Sure...

Greenman, eight o'clock?

Yeah, cool. Sounds great.

Leave your hidden camera

at home though, huh.

[laughs] Yeah, good one.

Good to see you, man.

- See you tomorrow.

- All right.
