00:00Yeah.
00:06Well, that was hard to watch.
00:10I almost poked my eye out.
00:12No one's stopping you.
00:13Don't you think it's a little irresponsible to be going on a date while you're supposed to be working?
00:16Ever heard of multitasking?
00:18I'm your sober companion, Phoenix, not your prisoner.
00:21Plus, if it bothered you so much that George asked me, why didn't you?
00:27Exactly.
00:27Don't worry.
00:30I'm sure that your brainless bimbos will step up for you.
00:33Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date waiting for me.
00:36And a rock gal to prep for.
00:49Dude, look alive.
00:51Top players in the music industry are here.
00:54They're not fucking drinking tonight.
00:57Can I see him later?
01:00Whoa.
01:01Phoenix Walker dying to drink and turn to a girl?
01:04Get me a snowboard because hell just froze over.
01:07Hey, wow, dude.
01:25Your girl's on fire.
01:25She's not my fucking girl.
01:28Hey.
01:33You okay, bro?
01:34Yeah, I'm fine.
01:38Hey, what's up?
01:43Oh my god, who is that?
01:46She's a movie star or something?
01:49Still stuffing your face, Lennon?
01:51Some things never change, huh?
01:53Sabrina?
01:53What is my high school bully doing here?
01:56Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:58What do you think?
01:59Phoenix invited me.
02:00Phoenix asked Sabrina, the girl he cheated on me with, to be his date?
02:04You look surprised.
02:07You're not still chasing after him four years later like a sad stray, are you?
02:11We're not in high school anymore, Sabrina.
02:12I don't have to take your shit.
02:14It was your own fault that Phoenix dumped you.
02:16You could have dieted, exercised, anything.
02:19But if somebody has to look at this every day, they're going to get sick.
02:24It's disgusting.
02:25You know what else I find disgusting?
02:27The fact that you're still the same mean girl that you were in high school, looking for
02:31any scrap of attention.
02:32Are you still giving out blowjobs for free, or do you charge minimum wage now?
02:39You're going to regret that, Lennon.
02:41Because you see, I came prepared.
02:42Good evening, everyone.
02:49My name is Sabrina, and I'm Phoenix Walker's girlfriend.
02:53We have a very special guest with us tonight, an old friend, Lennon Michael.
02:59And we prepared a surprise for her.
03:01You ready, Lennon?
03:02Oh, my God!
03:11Oh, my God!
03:11Oh, my God!
03:12Oh, my God!
03:13Baddies?
03:14Don't get baddies.
03:16No!
03:17Oh, my God!
03:18Oh, my God!
03:21Oh, my God!
03:22Oh, my God!
03:22Oh, my God!
03:22Oh, my God!
03:24I'm going to run in.
03:25Don't fucking cry.
03:26I've got to run.
03:27God, why won't my feet move?
03:29This is bad.
03:30Let's get Phoenix.
03:32God, Lennon, is that really you?
03:37You see now, Lennon?
03:39You can squeeze yourself into a designer dress every day of the week, but at the end of that
03:43day, this is what people will see of you.
03:47You know, I almost wish we had some barbecue sauce here now.
03:50They look the good old days.
03:51Although, I spot a little bit of chocolate cake, and I feel like that will do the trick.
03:57Oh, my God!
04:00Oh, my God!
04:02And you know what goes great with ganache?
04:06Why?
04:07Why?
04:18Stay the fuck away from my girl.
04:22Fuck away from my girl.
04:28You okay?
04:28I don't get to fucking swoop in like that ice guy.
04:36She was your fucking date, and you stood there like a pussy.
04:40And you.
04:41Phoenix, I was just...
04:42You were just fucking running your mouth and ruining my gala.
04:45Yeah?
04:47You know, I should have done this shit four years ago with better link than ever, okay?
04:51I'm just fucking touching her again.
04:59I'm the biggest fucking rock star in the world, and I can ruin you any fucking way I want.
05:04Security, get the fuck out of here!
05:06Get off of me.
05:08Get off of me!
05:10Oh, Phoenix, you set me up!
05:12You're actually out!
05:13Actually, you're a fuck!
05:14And then you're just gonna abandon me when you did the uptick four years ago?
05:18Let go of me!
05:19Oh, fuck you!
05:21Phoenix didn't sleep with Sabrina the night you dumped me.
05:24I have to get out of here.
05:36I have to get out of here.
05:40I have to get out of here.
05:48I have to get out of here.
06:16What are you doing?
06:26It's none of your fucking business.
06:31Come here.
06:46Why are you doing this to yourself, Lennon?
06:54It's the same reasons why you drink it.
06:58It helps calm me down.
07:01It's basically fucked up.
07:03Yeah, well, so is inviting Sabrina to be her date.
07:06I didn't ask her to be my date.
07:07I called her there to call her out about what she did to you.
07:10And you think that humiliating her in front of hundreds of people,
07:13that that's just going to make everything okay?
07:17Hurting people, that's Sabrina.
07:20That's not me.
07:21So you hurt yourself instead?
07:27I'll come here.
07:34Nobody's perfect, Lennon.
07:36But from our understanding, you're pretty fucking close to it.
07:42Four years ago?
07:44The night that we broke up?
07:47Did you really have sex with Sabrina?
07:53Did you really have sex with Sabrina?
07:56After last night you turned around and you slept with my bully?
07:58I hate you!
08:00And I never ought to see you again!
08:03No.
08:05I never had sex with Sabrina.
08:06There's only one girl I've worn in for the last four years.
08:10You, Lennon.
08:11And I'm tired of fucking waiting for you to admit that you want me to.
08:14So, you made me believe that you slept with Sabrina so you could steal my song behind my back?
08:26I'm sorry, Lennon.
08:28I was fucking young and I was scared and I was selfish and I know that I stole your song.
08:33You fucking stole my heart.
08:36And I've never been in love with anyone else and I can't fucking lose you again.
08:39I really loved you, Phoenix.
08:45I know you did, Lennon.
08:48I never stopped loving you.
08:50I know you did, Lennon.
09:12You did you?
09:14You did yeah!
09:15You and der Alternative syndrome,
09:17I learned my adaption.
09:18You take me wanna go?
09:19You can be fucking crazy, you know that?
09:24Why are you crazy?
09:26Every day.
09:42Why can't you be yours?
09:44What about both?
09:53Hey.
09:59I was wearing the string the day we got signed.
10:03I've worn it to every show since. It's kinda like a lucky charm for me. I don't want you to have it.
10:09Whoa, really? Are you sure that you're not gonna need it again?
10:13No.
10:15We have you now.
10:43Hey, Phoenix. You miss your old man?
10:48What the fuck are you doing here?
10:50Can't I just swing by and pay my son a visit?
10:52Phoenix, I...
10:54What's your new girlfriend, Phoenix?
10:56Fucking business, Dad.
10:57Okay.
10:58Well, anyway.
10:59I got a little money problem.

11:01What's your new girlfriend, Phoenix?
11:02Fucking business, Dad.
11:03Oh, okay.
11:04Well, anyway.
11:05I got a little money problem.
11:07Uh, 10K should be good.
11:08It means I raised your fucking ass for 18 years.
11:0918 years of beating the fucking shit out of me. How the fuck could I forget, Dad?
11:10What the fuck are you doing here?
11:11What the fuck are you doing here?

11:22Well, anyway, I got a little money problem.
11:2610K should be good.
11:29It means I raised your fucking ass for 18 years.
11:3318 years of beating the fucking shit out of me.
11:35How the fuck could I forget, Dad?
11:38Well, if my fucking son will help me make his chick look.
11:43Hey, take care of your touch, and I won't break your fucking head.
11:47Tell you how I remember.
11:48Tell you how I remember.
11:57Phoenix, no, he's not worth it.
12:02My son is growing to be a man just like his daddy.
12:06You're an abusive piece of shit.
12:08Phoenix is nothing like you.
12:10So why don't you leave before if security throw your ass out?
12:13You're feisty, aren't you?
12:15Listen, listen.
12:16You want me to leave, I'll leave.
12:18But, uh, tell me this.
12:21Aren't you supposed to be my son's sober companion?
12:25What, why are you taking a shower at 8.30 in this hotel room?
12:28Tell me that.
12:29This is good.
12:30I want that money in my bank account by noon, son.
12:34If not, I'm gonna have to make a visit to TMZ, or your manager, or, or both.
12:40Nice to meet you.
12:40Nice to meet you.
12:43Have a good day.
12:51It's gonna be fine, my man.
12:53We're gonna wire him the money, and he's gonna leave us the fuck alone.
12:56We shouldn't have to.
12:58Phoenix, it's too complicated.
12:59Don't fucking play the it's too complicated card on me.
13:03We'll wait past that.
13:06I'm ready to pursue this life.
13:13Are you?
13:17Are you?
13:18Last night was a mistake, and it can't happen again.
13:31What part of I'm ready to pursue this, so you know I'm understanding?
13:34Oh, I understand it all too well.
13:37A boy four years ago once told me that when he took my virginity and my song.
13:41Oh, I'm pursuing this life.
13:44You and me.
13:45Those words don't mean what you think that they mean.
13:49And I won't let them hurt me again.
13:53What do I have to do to get your trust back?
13:55You want my confession?
13:57Fine.
13:58Tell the whole fucking world I stole your song.
13:59I don't give a fuck about my band.
14:01I don't give a fuck about the career.
14:02I give a fuck about you right now.
14:11Fuck, Lennon.
14:19You think that you're heroic?
14:22Romantic?
14:23Wrong.
14:24Phoenix, you're a liability.
14:26We spent one night together, and your dad is already trying to blackmail us?
14:32If I lose this job, what's going to happen to my dad that's dying in a hospital bed right now as we speak?
14:37Listen, we can fix this.
14:39We'll figure it out.
14:41There's no we.
14:42Phoenix, you kiss me, they fire me.
14:46You cross the line, they blacklist me.
14:49Whatever you do, I pay the price.
14:52And you don't give a shit.
14:54Because you don't have to.
14:58But I do.
15:01The moment you stole my song, we're in two different worlds.
15:06You're a star.
15:07And I'm a nobody, trying to keep my head above water.
15:12So please, don't say you love me.
15:17Unless you're ready to be the reason that I lose everything.
15:20Tonight is the night, folks.
15:27We've got rock music's latest sensation, Grammy winner, Sharp Objects.
15:32So, Phoenix, during this tour, you haven't played your mega hit, Sharp Objects, once.
15:38Can you tell your fans why?
15:46Yeah, Sharp Objects is, and it's always going to be the song that was closest to my heart.
15:51But, um, I'm never going to sing it again.
16:00Ever.
16:00Hey, hey, hey, hey, why the fuck would he just do that?
16:14Anyone in class would like to fucking share?
16:17I'm right here.
16:18This is a goddamn nightmare.
16:20He's trying to kill Ben.
16:21He's trying to kill my fucking man!
16:26Phoenix, what the hell was that?
16:27I said I wasn't going to sing the song I stole from you anymore.
16:31Isn't that the confession you want?
16:33That wasn't confessing.
16:34That was running away.
16:37Look, I know that I was mad that you stole my song.
16:41But I realized that it gave you a land.
16:45It gave you a family that you've never had.
16:47And I take comfort in that.
16:50I told you, Len.
16:52You said you wanted to ruin me.
16:54Even after everything we've been through, you're still kind.
16:56Fuck you, Phoenix Walker.
17:03I can't sing that song, though.
17:06Every time I hear it, I think about you.
17:11Is your song a month?
17:18We'll get through this.
17:20I promise.
17:21Our band's biggest hit was stolen from Lennon?
17:28We're going to do something before this ruins the band.
17:40Chairman, what is this?
17:41I packed for you.
17:43Because I'm ending your contract early.
17:45You no longer work for the band or for Phoenix.
17:49What?
17:49Why?
17:50Don't worry.
17:51I'm still going to pay you the full amount.
17:53And also, sign that NDA, you get a million dollars.
17:58Copyright transfer.
18:06You know...
18:07I could care less how or when Phoenix took your song from you.
18:12All I know is it's now our motherfucking mega hit.
18:17And we're not just going to let it go for nothing.
18:19So, sign the paper.
18:24Take the money.
18:27Walk away.
18:33You never claim rights to the song.
18:35You never see Phoenix.
18:38Ever.
18:38Again.
18:39Thank fucking Christ.
18:41You're paying me off to take my song from me?
18:44Whoa, whoa, whoa.
18:44Who's taking what?
18:45I'm not taking anything.
18:47I am buying your song.
18:50It's business.
18:52Besides, you need that money for your father, don't you?
18:58So, sign the NDA.
19:01Leave all of this bullshit behind you and go see your dad.
19:06I'm sure he misses his soul.
19:15Sign this channel.
19:17My dad didn't raise me to be a coward.
19:20And I'm not for sale.
19:22Is it that you're slow or just straight up fucking stupid?
19:27You don't sign these papers.
19:29I fire your ass anyway and you never see a goddamn penny.
19:32Really?
19:33Are you sure about that?
19:34Yes.
19:35The last time you tried to fire me, it didn't go so well.
19:38I said fucking enough, Chandler.
19:40I said fucking enough, Chandler.
19:42I'm just the fuck out of my way.
19:43I am doing this for the band.
19:47You don't care about them.
19:48Phoenix is just a cash cow to you.
19:50But I care.
19:51And I'm not going to abandon him for money.
19:54And I won't give up the rights to my song until I get what I deserve.
19:58Not owed.
19:59Dessert.
19:59Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to do.
20:07Hi.
20:08This Deborah Mitch won't walk away.
20:10I'll make her go away.
20:12Hello?
20:20Hello?
20:22My dad's in the ICU.
20:25I'm on my way.
20:38I don't care.
20:39Victory is all, but it's all I have.
20:49Oh, Ms. Michaels, your father's heart gave out.
20:54I'm so sorry.
20:56Do you have anyone you can call?
20:59Yeah?
20:59No, it's just me.
21:01I don't care.
21:09No.
21:10Where are you?
21:14Where are you?
21:17Lenin, pick up your fucking phone.
21:21Fuck, Lenin, pick up.
21:24Phoenix!
21:24Man, we got to go.
21:25We got to go.
21:26Have you seen Lenin?
21:27She's not picking up her fucking phone.
21:28Did that troublemaker, Ben?
21:31That works for me.
21:32Since when do you care about some girl?
21:34Man, come on.
21:35Giddy up.
21:35We're going to be at each other fucking awards.
21:37Let's go.
21:37It's not like her to fucking bail on the band, especially not tonight.
21:44Shit, unless...
21:46Uh, Phoenix, I'm right fucking here, man.
21:50It's my call.
21:56I need you to leave the room now.
21:59No, no, no, please.
22:01I'm not ready yet.
22:14No, no, no, please, please, please, let me just see him.
22:17Oh, my God, please, I'm not ready yet.
22:19I'm not ready yet.
22:25I'm sorry.
22:27I'm sorry.
22:30Hey.
22:34I got you.
22:41Phoenix?
22:42You're not alone, Lenin.
22:44I'm never going to let you be alone again.
22:47Please, just take me home and see things.
22:59My dad used to be a songwriter.
23:04He used to tell me that someday I'd be a fantastic songwriter just like him.
23:08I guess we'll never know.
23:14All that's left is his house, his books, and his vinyls.
23:20And you.
23:23I know he's looking down on you right now, and he knows that you're the most gorgeous thing
23:31he's ever created.
23:32And you're an amazing songwriter, and somehow an evil or amazing person.
23:41Phoenix, thank you for dishing me a word, really.
23:44There's so many awards, Lenin.
23:47There's only one you.
23:51Can I show you something?
23:58Open it.
24:07Phoenix, these are...
24:08Over the last four years, every time I ended up missing you, I'd just sit down and write
24:17a song.
24:19The pages went really fast, I guess.
24:22Look, Lenin, I am so fucking sorry that I stole your song and that I broke your heart.
24:29Will you sing for me?
24:37Please.
24:41Yeah.
24:42Yeah.
24:59Strangers in my sheet
25:06Finding peace in the bottom of my whiskey
25:11Love songs on repeat
25:17Nonsense words with an okay melody
25:21But I'm waiting
25:25To see what I can do
25:29And I'm waiting
25:31Cause I'm afraid to lose you
25:35And I'm waiting
25:37For once I wanna be true
25:41And I'm waiting
25:43Waiting
25:46For you
25:48I don't know
25:55What to do
25:56But
26:02Phoenix
26:03You stole something else from me
26:06You stole my heart
26:10But I want you to keep it forever
26:14And I
26:27Can't see what I'm saying
26:32Hey
26:38Yeah, I need you to set up a live stream for me and the band in an hour
26:42And announcement
26:43And no, don't tell Chandler
26:45No PR reps, no managers, nothing
26:47Just me and the boys, okay?
26:49Okay
26:49I'm gonna make it right, Lenin
27:03I'm not gonna lose you again
27:07Ever
27:08Oh
27:10Shoot
27:12I think I forgot my phone
27:26Okay, I got it
27:28Bye-bye
27:29Goodbye, Dad
27:36I'll miss you
27:38Don't worry, sweetie
27:40You're gonna reunite with your dad soon
27:42No, no
27:44Come on
27:45Lenin?
27:50Sorry
27:51Lenin!
27:56Lenin!
27:57Oh, God
27:58There she is
28:05Good morning, sunshine
28:07Sleep well
28:08Vance?
28:10Confusing your own son isn't enough
28:13Now you want to add kidnapping and assaulting to the list?
28:15God
28:16God
28:17I hate that, we're trying to go fucking nuts
28:21What do you want?
28:23What do you want?
28:24Well, the hotshot manager of my son paid me, sends you a message
28:28Fucking NDA, sign it, stay out of my son's life forever
28:32Shit
28:36Shit
28:37Fuck
28:38Fucking
28:39I already told Chandler that I'm not for sale and I'm not leaving Phoenix
28:47Say that now
28:48But I got ways to make you crack
28:51You know, I had plenty of years of experience on my son, he's probably told you that, right?
28:55I already told Chandler that I'm not for sale and I'm not leaving Phoenix
29:02I already told Chandler that I'm not for sale and I'm not leaving Phoenix
29:06Phoenix
29:07Phoenix
29:12talking
29:13You bitch
29:14Look what you did
