- No, no, no, the other one.

- Five seconds.

- Yeah, perfect.

Can someone find my publisher,

Kylie Applebaum, please?

This is gonna be great. Don't worry.

[stammers]

- I wasn't. Should I be worried?

- [Katie] Love the book. Great stuff.

[man] Three, two, two, two...

For years, Sam Larson was known simply

as the Ghost.

But now he's telling all in his new book,

True Memoirs of an International Assassin.

Sam, thanks for being here.

Hello. Nice to... See me.

Do you mind if I read a passage

from your book?

Oh, why do you need? You don't...

You're gonna...

"Killing became easy for me.

I told myself that I was making the world

a better place.

But in my heart of hearts,

I knew the truth.

I was addicted to death."

Is Kylie...?

So, Sam, let me ask you.

Are you still addicted to death?

Can I...? You know, can I just...?

Before we start,

I've just got to go to the bathroom.

Is there a...? Do they have a bathroom?

Do they...?

- In the outside, is there a bathroom?

- We're actually live.

But this is also live

and I gotta make it happen.

I get... Is there...?

I've got to just... Excuse me.

No, no.

- [Sam] This is bad. This is very bad.

- Alison, is that him running?

Taxi! Taxi!

And now he's apparently getting

into a cab.

You know how many books

this is gonna sell?

Go, go, go.

Just keep on driving, please, fast.

Can you go?

Can you pass him?

Okay.

[in Spanish] He's here.

- Oh, God.

- [gun c*cks]

Hello?

[grunting]

[airplane landing]

[tires screech]

[gasping]

Is that blood?

[door opens]

Hey... there seems to be

some kind of mistake here.

I don't think there has...

Mason Carver.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

There definitely has. Um...

[pants]

- Mason Carver, he's not real.

- [El Toro] No.

But the Ghost, he is very real.

Although I did imagine you to be a bit...

you know... longer.

- You're pro-Dem guerillas.

- Yes.

[sighs]

I'm in Venezuela.

Very good.

But I'm not the Ghost.

Of course you're not, eh? [laughs]

I am El Toro.

Although you already knew that.

Just like you knew

that there was a Venezuelan general

that was assassinated by a sniper

in the late '80s.

Oh, no, no, no.

See, I changed that for the book.

[stammers] He was actually poisoned.

He was. Which is something

only the Ghost would know.

Oh, God. [sobs]

Thank you.

My hands were getting all numb

and prickly.

You know, the needles.

But please, you've got to understand.

I'm a writer, you know,

who does lots of research.

But I'm not... I'm not the Ghost.

Exactly... what the Ghost would say.

- [all laugh]

- I promise you, you've got the wrong guy.

You know how I know

that you are the Ghost, my friend?

[El Toro] Because if you're not...
