Shutter (Voidfinder)

Arny, where are you?

Well, Lake Lochland doesn't do late.

You've got five minutes.

- I'd say don't worry about it, Kate,

Scott may be getting out today.

Oh, that's right.

Oh my god, I gotta to call Abigail.

Who's Abigail?

The caretaker for your house.

I'm so clueless.

- That's why you have me in your life, babe.

Abigail, how's the house looking?

It's looking.

- Have you ordered the curtains yet?

It hasn't come in yet.

- Okay, I need you to make sure the curtains come in.

I need the house to look spic-and-span.

- Well I'm kinda in the middle of something.

But...

But what?

Listen, I've got to go.

Just make sure the curtains get in.

Make sure the house looks good, alright?

Make sure you do that for me.

Well, I can't, Kate.

Hi, yes, Abigail?

Hi, it's Lake Lochland.

Oh I'm in trouble.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You're fine.

- Hi, you must be Kate. - Yeah, I'm Kate.

- Hi, it's great to see you, we're very excited.

Yeah, what is this?

- This is going to be the centerpiece

and we're probably going to shoot over there.

Okay, but what's inside?

- Look, I don't need you to worry about the furniture

or the drapes or any of that, okay?

My brother's review is coming up today

and he might be getting out.

Oh, is he going to stay here?

Is that what the big rush is about?

Oh, no.

I doubt he wants to be in that house any more than I do.

It's his stuff from childhood, though.

I think he might want those.

Okay, I'll dig around.

- Just don't go in the basement, okay?

- The door to the basement is locked.

Good, let's keep it that way.

Thank you.

- I'm gonna go over here-- - Okay.

- And the way the light's gonna shoot

is gonna really make the whole project--

What's inside the box, though?

Oh it's just a mirror,

but it's very important and integral--

Okay, okay.

- To the way I see this coming through.

- Arny, Arny, Arny, I need you to listen.

Yeah.

- We can't have mirrors in this shoot

so you need to figure something else out, okay?

- You must be kidding me, you can't have mirrors?

You can't have mirrors?

Yeah, we cannot have mirrors.

- What's the problem? - I'm sorry.

Is there any other--

- But it's going to be the centerpiece of everything.

I've thought this through in my head.

- I understand that, but we-- - She's gonna look fantastic.

- I understand that, but-- - I promise she's--

- No, no, no, no, don't touch me.

What is going on here?

- Kate is trying to ruin our shoot, Miss Lochland.

- No mirrors, it's in the contract.

- There's nothing in the contract.

- Is that a mirror? - Jan?

- There's no mention of mirrors in the contract.

- Do it in post. - Do it in post?

Are you kidding me?

PCs can't do that, they're worlds apart.

Do it in post, or we walk.

- Okay, do you want a bump in fee?

Hey, Lake. - Look--

- Miss Lochland, are you are really walking away from this?

- Hey, hey, don't talk to my client.

- Listen, I'm Arny Allen and there is a whole slew of models

waiting in line who would kill to be a part of this shoot

and would make your kennel run up to the barking places,

you know what I'm saying?

- And guess what, none of them are Lake Lochland.

And you just blew your chance to work with her, okay?

And if I get an ill word of this in the press,

your career will be over.

Now, now babe, I got your back.

You always do, Kate.

Congratulations, Mr. Allen.

You've just been fucked by a supermodel.

- How does it feel seeing her in magazines and commercials?

- She grew up to fame and fortune.

Not me.

There's still anger in you.

I don't think you're ready for today.

- We'll find out soon enough, Dr. Haddy.

Scott, we're ready for you.

- Remember, there's no shame in saying

you're not ready for this.

- Yeah, but you won't hear that from me, Dr. Haddy.

- Sorry about losing the gig today, Kate.

No, you're not.

I know I'm difficult.

I've never noticed it.

Oh, don't leave the cold cream on too long.

You know how it blocks your pores.

- But it makes such a soothing face mask.

You're old school.

You want that oxy facial when I get back?

Ooh yes and a lip scrub.

Oh wait, you're leaving?

- Yeah, to get us paid for the day.

What?

- You think I'm going to let that Scottish egomaniac

put his hands on me and then stiff us?

Not this girl.

You're my fight song, Kate.

Room covered up okay?

It's perfect.

Alright, I'll see you later.

Okay.

It's a big day for you, Scott.

I'm sure you must be nervous.

I think I'm ready.

I'm ready for it.

- Do you always feel the need to please people?

- People with Shared Delusional Disorder

often feel the need to please others.

- Again, I ask Scott, do you feel the need to please people?

Yes, I guess I do.

But isn't that also a sign of being a nice person?

Maybe we're all under some shared delusion

that we actually like each other

and want to do right by each other,

but I like to think I've made real friendships,

you know, even stuck in here.

- You know, there really wasn't no mention

of mirrors in the contract.

In fact, they specifically requested

a mirror box shoot after seeing my work.

Not my problem.

Keep your hands to yourself next time.

We'll call this even.

What a cunt.

Publicists.

We can't shoot them.

So, Lake Lochland's the cunt.

No argument there.

- I think you should be the famous one, Arny.

- We have a lead on a gig that will

make you famous beyond belief.

- And finally, is there anything else you'd like to say?

- Well, I've gone from a terrified little kid

who believed in ghosts to a 21 year old

young man who regrets the delusions

that led to the death of his parents.

Every day I've had to live with what I did

and I'm going to have to keep living

with that for the rest of my life.

Should I be released?

Some people would say no.

They think not.

But I hope I am released so I can prove to them

and prove to the world and I can prove to myself

that I was just a mixed-up little kid

and not some monster deserving of life in a cage.

You asked me if I was scared?

Yeah, I mean of course.

Who wouldn't be scared of going out

into the world after after so long.

- You realize, by letting Scott go,

we're going against the recommendations

of his doctors, his nurses, and his peers.

- You heard his answers, he's ready.

Maybe, maybe.

- Look, we only have so much room in here.

We've got to let some of the close calls go.

Yeah but I don't know.

- Who would you choose to let go over him?

- I don't know, Liz, I don't feel great about this.

How long do we have to wait?

I have no idea.

Scott.

It's against my better judgment,

but we've decided to authorize your release.

Really?

- We just have a little bit of paperwork to do,

but there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to go today.

Do you have anyone to pick you up?

My sister.

Okay, we'll let her know.
