Barry (2018) s01e02 Episode Script

Use It

Transcribed by Uncle Andy How does this make us better actors? It loosens you up.
Prepares you for the unexpected in a scene.
Gets you out of your head.
Kyndie got accepted in the class.
Me too.
Gene doesn't let just anyone in.
You must have really impressed him with your mono.
Thanks.
Folks, Ryan Madison is dead.
All right, everyone.
Everyone focus.
Focus.
Now I wish that I could say that this was the first time that one of my students was gunned down in the street but it's not.
And as much as it pains me to say it, it is most likely not the last.
So, where do we go from here? I say we do what Ryan would have wanted us to do and we use it.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Cousineau, what's that mean: "Use it"? Use Ryan's death.
The way that you are feeling right this second.
The sorrow, the rage, the terror.
You know, I use my past all the time, in my work.
If I want pure sorrow, I call up Princess Diana's death.
or the day that my Dad fell off the roof when I was a kid.
Kerplunk! Or the next day when he went right back up on that roof.
Hi, Dad.
I-I just I just thought since everyone was so bummed out, maybe we could cheer ourselves by playing characters and puttin' on some wigs? Wigs? - Well - This is not playtime, Barry.
- No, I know.
- This is not Cheers.
- I am not Sam Malone.
- No.
Okay.
You want to blow off steam? You do it after class.
No.
No, I-I-I know that.
No, I'm actually quitting my job so I can, um - focus on this more.
- That is great.
Total commitment.
I'm next! You don't think I know.
I know I'm next - You don't know that.
- You probably are next.
Look, we're all still very raw so, I say class dismissed.
Go home and I encourage you to journal all of your emotion, all of your feelings, but even though we're not acting, we're still learning to act.
This class counts.
Stepping away from the class is, in itself, a lesson.
So th there are no rain checks, is my point.
Okay, everyone pays full boat for today.
Okay, so we got two DB's in the BMW still waitin' on IDs but they look Russian or Chechen.
Someone from Gang Unit joining us on this? - Semico's on his way.
- Okay.
Now, there was a third guy in the passenger seat but he was luckier than his buddies because it looks like he got away.
And in the Ford, there was this poor Ryan Madison.
K Wait.
Is Detective Loach is he cryin'? Look, look, look, look! He is definitely cryin' Wait, he's cryin' at all of these.
- You didn't hear? - Uh uh.
He and Diana broke up.
Mmm.
- They did? - Yeah.
Inside a year? Shit! I just won 300 bucks.
- That's cold.
- Oh, please! He's a homicide detective and she's a human being.
That shit don't last.
Plus, if the Department had wanted him to have a wife, they'd have issued him one.
- Any neighbors with security cameras? - No, but there was a tiny camera in the car.
- The car? What's that mean? Which car? - The BMW.
So you find a camera in the vic's BMW and you're just not tellin' me about it.
I mean, it took 20 minutes to even figure out it was a camera I mean, like, I thought it was a crazy marijuana pipe.
- I thought it was a laser.
- Yeah, Rob thought it was a laser.
Everyone listen! I think we need to do something for Ryan.
We should have a memorial tonight.
Great idea, we can have it - at my apartment - We'll have it at Jake's.
My friend Juan's bartending tonight, we'll get a deal.
- That's great, I love that, actually.
- Speak! Sing! Perform a scene that Ryan did in class.
Whatever you think Ryan would've liked.
I'll put a sign up on the class Facebook page so.
.
- check it for details.
- Thank you.
I'm not on Facebook.
That's the whole point.
No, you know what, I'm gonna do something else.
- It's unifying.
- You do it.
You do it.
You do it.
- You do it.
I don't wanna do it.
- Maybe I'll do something else.
- Maybe I'll do - No, you do it.
No, no.
I am doing Why are they in a forest? - I wanna know what that kid's gonna do.
- I've never seen someone be happy and angry at the same time.
Brought to you by wolf attacking a horse.
- I feel bad for that horse.
- Yeah.
- Hey, you have my video? - Yeah, it's on the camera.
Yeah, I-I know it's on the camera.
You're you're s'posed to get it off the camera.
- We need to order an adapter.
- No, go buy an adapter.
There's like 50 Russian electronic stores in Glendale.
Also, Loach and his wife split up, so you owe me 50 bucks each, remember? Moss? Guys? - How we doin'? - No, Loach, how you doin'? What? - Yes? - Fuches, it's me.
- Hey.
Oh.
- Awww! - Oh, hold on, hold on.
- Awww! Awww! Fuches, what are you still doin' here.
We gotta go.
- No, no, no.
I'm not going.
- I told you to go.
I'm not goin' anywhere, bud.
This is war.
Those Chechens double crossed us.
I mean, they hired you to do a job and then they try to kill you! No, no, no.
I I told 'em you have a process.
Listen, Fuches, I talked to Pazar and he told me that if you leave town, he'll sweep this whole thing under the rug.
Really.
No, no, he didn't say that.
I don't know why I just said that.
Well, you said it because you're tryin' to protect me.
And I appreciate that, buddy, but you know what? I've been goin' through some combat scenarios on this, uh, video game here and I don't know, I think, based on my research, God, we could take 'em, you know? I-I-I'll be here in the Command Center and you'll be, you'll be out there, in the field, you know, killin' all of Pazar's guys and together man, together, we will fuck them back.
Listen, Fuches, it's not about the guys in that house, all right? There's a whole organization out there, okay? And plus, there's probably still more back in Chechnya.
You're right.
You're right.
We can't we can't outgun these dudes.
We We leave.
Yes.
Well, actually, no.
You'll leave and I'll stay and face the music.
You want me to get out of here for my own safety and leave you here with the Chechens.
No, uh-uh, no.
I-I-I googled Chechnya and bro, they're crazy.
Fuches It's my mess.
Let me deal with it.
Okay, but then you get on a plane.
You come back to Cleveland and we'll go back to work, just like before.
Yes.
- What the fuck are you guys doing? - Ah, Henhouse.
Where's my video? - You need a code to unlock it.
- Yeah.
Everything was going smoothly until we got to this screen.
So you just stopped when you saw this.
Well, we were researching possible ways to unlock it and ended up - goin' down a little K-hole.
- Okay.
How many possible codes could there be? - 4 digits, so a lot - We're trying to get in contact - with the manufacturer now, okay.
- Come on, get out of the way.
Come on.
Move, move, move! That could take months.
All right, first, first, you try 0001.
All right? So we know it's not 0001.
Next, you do Right? Not 0002 Okay, you go on to What the hell? - I think you just locked it.
- Did you know that was going to happen - and yet let me do that? - We didn't want you to yell at us.
All right, now - Now, I'm gonna have to call the FBI.
- Mmm.
These guys are assholes.
Hi! You know why everything went to hell, right? That fucking hug! You got too close to your mark.
It put you off your game.
It's like when I was a cook, in the Army, you know, I never named my chickens, I just See, you never experienced any fallout from your job, Barry.
I've been protecting you from that.
Now, you gonna be all right without me? - I'm gonna be great.
We need to go.
- No, I I-I-I swore an oath to your dad that I wouldn't let the world walk all over you.
It's repayment for him savin' my ass in 'Nam.
- During 'Nam.
- During 'Nam.
Fine, whatever, but, you know, a-a-a barracks in Connecticut in the late '60's, you know, it's a rough place.
Uh, I gotta take this.
I think I might have won something.
All right.
- Hello? - Hey, Barry.
Hey, it's Sally.
Hey, how you doin'? Ah, hey, the Ryan thing's not, ah, canceled, is it? No, it's still on.
Oh, oh, great.
I mean not great but, you know, thank God.
Yeah, so I wanted to ask you, I was so concerned with making sure everyone else had a spot that - I didn't give myself anything.
- Oh, no! Yeah, so you can totally say no but would you wanna do a scene with me tonight? You want to do a scene with me? Yeah, well, everyone else has something, so Oh, yeah, absolutely! Wh-what's the scene? Celeste united with Ryan.
It'll be weird not doing it with him but I felt like my performance was self-contained.
Yes! Have you seen "Doubt"? It's this movie where Meryl Streep is a nun and she makes Philip Seymour Hoffman, whose a priest, admit he's been molesting little boys - It's amazing.
- No, it sounds amazing.
You'd be the priest.
No, it totally makes sense.
I-I'd love to play a priest that's molesting little boys.
Um well, do do we, like, practice or something or.
.
Yes.
Meet me at 6:30 at Jake's.
A half hour before the show.
I'll bring your pages and your wardrobe and we can run it a few times.
You don't have to be off-book.
- Great! Awesome.
Okay, bye.
- Great.
Okay, thanks Barry.
Siri, what is "off-book"? Freeze, cowboy! Showing two results for "off-book freeze cowboy".
You couldn't fuckin' hear me! Arrrgh! I was screamin' at you! What The fuck?! - I was on the phone.
- Ha! You know, Barry I have to be honest, I'm quite a bit angry, but I'm going to put that aside for now because rage is counterproductive, yes, and I know if the situation were reversed I probably would have done same thing you did.
You did do what I did.
You tried to kill me.
Okay, well now, we're getting a little he said/she said.
Ah, okay, so, Barry so after you finished shooting me, right, and, um, I had lost consciousness did you perhaps take something out of the car? - No.
- No? Like, specifically, off the dashboard, maybe? - No.
- Small blinking item? What, you didn't bring that fucking lipstick camera with you, did you? What? No! That would be super crazy, huh? This conversation never happened, okay? Hey, Goran, That ain't Fuches? On the silver plate.
You did not think I would find you? You killed two of my men.
One of them Lucky was best Chechen assassin.
- Well, he wasn't that great.
- Hey, look now You put me in big fucking bind, Barry! Lucky, he have job to do tonight.
He was to take out guy who give us some confidential information - About a Bolivian stash house.
- Shut the fuck up! Now, I make calls to my family and they are sending someone to take Lucky's place, but who knows how long that will take.
This hit is this hit is urgent.
- No way.
- Why not? Why would I work for you, man? Y-y-you double-crossed me.
- I don't like it when people do that.
- That's water under bridge.
- Have one of these guys do it.
They are not assassins.
They are muscle.
- Big difference.
- Well, have Hank do it.
- You fucked him up! - Yeah, yeah, this arm is bullshit.
All right, well what about that guy? Vascha? He is fucking freak.
You see this apron why is he wearing that? He doesn't need to be wearing that.
No, he's too - self-consciously scary.
- He's just a lot, you know, - it's like we get it.
- No, no, no.
I, uh, - I want you to do it, Barry.
- He he wants you to do it, Barry.
Yeah, I-I don't I don't want to do this anymore.
You you you don't want you don't want what? Yeah, I-I-I-I don't do this anymore I don't want to do it.
Lucky, man you kill, - was Vascha's brother.
- But, w-whoa - Vascha was crying all day.
- Hey hey.
It was very fucking annoying! - No! - He saying - No.
Ah.
- No! - Arrrrrgh! Ah! Ah! - Arrrgh.
Hey, tell him to stop.
Hey! Goran! He stops when you agree to job.
He's gonna file my fuckin' teeth.
Say yes! Arrrgh! Ah! - I can't.
I'm sorry, um, I can't.
- You can't?! You c ah! Ah, no! No! Hey, hey! Tell him to stop! Goran, tell him to stop! Tell him to stop! - You hit the bubbles - Yeah.
- and then more bubbles come down.
- They keep coming.
They keep coming.
- - Well, I'm working.
- Okay, okay.
- My daughter is having sleepover and we are being too loud.
- Vascha, nosh! - Ugh! - Arrrgh! - Hey, hey! - All right.
Yes or we kill him now.
- Barry? Pl please, please.
All right, fine, I'll do it.
That's This is it.
No more jobs.
This is it.
This is the only one.
- You understand me? - Hey we hold on to Fuches until it's done.
- So get to it.
- Let me just tell you something, if you if you hurt him anymore.
If you if you if you kill him or anything I'll come back here and I'll kill every single one of you.
You understand me? He cares about Fuches.
That's just nice.
Barry? You gotta right on this, right? Yes.
You have to stop this campaign against me.
- You can.
Confess.
- How? Why are trying to attempt that you are trying to attempting to destroy my reputation wow, - What's wrong? - you know what, this, ah - this is really serious.
- Yeah, it is serious.
You see, I think I misunderstood you on the phone, I thought this was, like, supposed to be funny.
- A-a man molesting children? - Yeah, like how Family Guy is funny.
I just don't know what it's like to be a like a child molester, so I don't know if I could play one, you know.
Oh, no! No, you don't have to know what that's like.
No, you just have to know what it's like to hurt somebody.
So just, you know, think of a time when you hurt someone and use that.
Whoops! Okay, not the john.
I'm sorry.
Wait! What are you doing? Are you doing "Doubt"? Oh, let's not do "Doubt".
But it's the last scene that Ryan and I did together.
The class loved it, remember? I just don't think we should evoke child molestation - at a memorial.
- Please, Gene, - Ryan would have wanted this.
- Hey, you know what it's totally up to you.
I gotta pee! - Maybe we shouldn't do this.
- Oh, don't worry about him.
The scene will blossom.
The scene always works.
- Okay.
- From the top.
Mmm.
You have to stop this campaign against me.
Webster's Dictionary defines death as: "a permanent cessation of all vital functions".
It defines remember as: "to bring to mind or think of again".
So, even though Ryan's vital functions have ceased, if we think of him, he will always be with us.
Um I'm going to perform an audition that Ryan helped me with.
Here is Cop #2: Get on the fucking ground! Eat dirt, bitch! I'm a Yankee Doodle dandy A Yankee Doodle do or die - We miss you, Ryan.
I - Givin' up smoking is easy I should know, I've done it thousands of times.
He-he-he-he-he.
This life and death phenomenon is commonplace and mundane.
In class, I'm Eric, but y'all can call me unchained.
- I cannot contain this hurt I'm explainin'.
- That's Ryan's manager, - I'm gonna miss this actor/personal trainer - Luckshack.
It's absurd and insane In rehearsals he slayed.
A mirror up to nature, every person he played.
He gave me 5 bucks to go to Del Taco.
He used to be alive but now he's not, yo! - Hey, hey.
Okay, I think we're next.
- Hey.
- Okay.
All right.
- Okay.
- Where are you at, right now? - Uh, I'm at a bar with you.
- No.
No, I meant - You all right? It'll be fine.
Woo! Oh, Antonio, that was something.
Now, before we bring up our last act, I'd like to introduce you to a guest speaker.
He came all the way from Wisconsin.
He wants to meet you to express his gratitude and to grieve.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ryan's father, George Krempf.
Uh when, uh, my son, Ryan, told me he wanted to be an actor, I thought he was crazy.
But, uh, after seeing this lovely show you all put on here, I am so grateful that he was surrounded by such a loving community.
So, gosh, really Who would do this to my boy? Hey! Hey, Barry, what the Do you not want to do the scene or? It's I've never.
.
I've never been around for something like that, - you know.
I've never I've never - Yeah, I know, I know.
- That was that was intense.
- No, it's just that, uh, I've never seen that, you know, like, the the the the the guy lost his son, you know.
- Hey.
Hey, Barry, it's okay.
- It was just It's messed up.
- No, it's not okay.
- No, this is a good thing.
These these feelings that you're having right now, these are the paints in your acting toolbox.
Yeah, that's what this class is about.
You know, getting to that taking that apart and and dealing with it.
It's called being human.
That's what acting is.
I don't know if I can do that.
We'll help you.
Look, come on back in.
Come on! Come on.
Look, I'm fine not doing the scene, you know.
It's, um, it's really all Father Flynn anyway.
I mean, Meryl Streep's just the straight man, so.
Hey.
- Yay! Yeah! - Barry! Barry, come on.
Woo! To Ryan.
- Woo.
- Woo.
He loved it here.
I mean, I'm glad we didn't do it.
because, I mean, who wants to follow a father talking about his murdered son.
I mean, it's a no-win situation.
Not fair to us.
How about you? - Are you okay? - Yeah.
No, yeah.
Thank you for that talk.
That was good.
Lookin' forward to puttin' some paint in the - toolbox.
- Yeah.
I mean, when I first started in this class, I was very overwhelmed, but then I saw everyone else perform and I was like, oh.
- And then it was easier.
- Oh.
So what's your deal? - What's my deal? - Yeah.
You're like a weird nut I can't crack.
- I am? Uh - Yeah.
I - This is a mistake.
- It is? It's always a mistake, we shouldn't do this.
- Do what? - Sleep with each other.
I know it seems like we should but trust me, I've been through this a million times and it's always a mess.
So, I just I I don't think we should.
- Even if we want to.
- Yeah, I wasn't thinking that.
Oh.
Cool.
So, do you want in and talk about why we shouldn't do it? No, I just wanted to walk you to your door.
But thanks for everything tonight.
Thank you.
And I'll see you in class.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
