-[ Gasps ]

-They're almost ready for you,

Miss Goldman.

-Perfect.

-Okay.

First time in television?

-Why would you say that?

-Oh, nothing.

You'll do great.

-How does my skin look?

-It looks perfect.

You got this.

Listen, you are the best.

Everything is good.

You have nothing to worry about.

Okay?

-Okay.

-Okay, good.

-[ Chuckles ]

-Okay, go out there and

show these people who you are.

-Okay.

Okay, ready.

-[ Sighs ]

-Welcome back.

Joining us in the studio today,

aesthetician Hope Goldman.

Hope Goldman is

the owner and namesake

of the Hollywood skincare studio

Hope Goldman Skincare.

Hope, you really are

the American dream.

From a small town,

made it big

as a celebrity facialist.

And now you're launching

your very own line of products.

-I wasn't worried,

but thank you.

-Hmm.

I heard Brett talking about

how great your products

are, earlier.

-My ears are burning.

-Brett, hello.

-I just wanted to come

and say hi before the taping.

-So good to see you.

-I have been telling everyone

how incredible I think

your products are.

I tell you, I am so happy

that you are finally

getting your own line.

It is time people remember

what a pioneer you are.

Mandy, this young lady is

the original skincare queen

in Hollywood,

and soon she's gonna be

a household name.

Alright, I'll see you out there.

-Wait, is it true?

Do you make all of this

in Italy?

-Yes, I do.

I know some would say

that creating

the highest-quality products

and then shipping them

from halfway across the world

is not the most obvious

business plan.

But for me, there really was

no other option.

-In a business

that's so competitive,

how do you stay relevant?

-Oh, well, I don't want to

date myself here,

but reputation is everything

in this business.

And I, um --

I don't see my life,

who I am,

as separate from my work.

Hope Goldman Skincare,

Hope Goldman,

Hope Goldman Skincare.

[ Sighs ]

And I bottled it.

And I bottled it.

I took everything I learned

from a 20-year career

in this business,

and I bottled it.

-Wow.

-Well, I guess all that's left

is, where do we get them?

Because I know

I'm gonna want more.

-[ Laughs ]

Well, our official launch is

still two weeks away.

So, for now, just through

my studio, HGS, in Hollywood.

But coming soon

to a store near you.

Yeah

[ Footsteps departing ]

-What do you think's opening

over there?

I didn't think we were allowed

to have new neon signs here.

-Do you want a new sign?

-[ Sighs ]

Maybe if we hadn't ordered

5,000 bottles of toner.

-Should I drop this off

at Armen's with the rest?

-Yeah. We're out of space, and

he's got room at the garage.

I'll text him,

let him know you're coming.

-He's in love with you.

-You know, I am gonna go

visit this neighbor,

see what I can find out.

-Hope, remember,

you have Colleen at noon.

-Oh, she'll be late.

[ Bell jingles ]

[ Soft, dramatic music plays ]

Hello?



Hello? Neighbor?



What is this place?



[ Footsteps approaching ]

-Uh, we're not open yet.

-Oh, I didn't, um,,,

-Are you here to make

an appointment?

-No, I didn't, um...

I'm Hope.

Hope Goldman Skincare,

just across the way.

-Oh, of course.

-Yeah, right over there.

-Ah, I'm Angel.

Angel Vergara.

Nice to meet you.

-Yeah.

-Okay.

-Um, I brought you these.

It's just some of my products.

-Oh.

-You'll love them.

-Thanks.

That's very...sweet of you.

-Yeah.

I developed them in Italy.

-Nice!

-I don't know if you have

your own line, but, um,

all those formulas

are copyrighted, though.

[ Chuckles ]

-That's very smart.

-Yeah, I just --

I didn't realize what you were.

-What do you mean?

-I didn't realize you do skin.

-Jeff didn't tell you that?

-Jeff? No. No.

-Oh.

-Well...

I have a very busy day,

so welcome.

-I mean, it's an industry, no?

So...

-Yeah.

-Listen, I hope you don't think

I'm intruding on your territory.

-[ Chuckles ]

Why would you even say that?

I don't -- I don't think we

carry the same clientele.

Do you?

-No, no. I don't think so.

-No.

-Cool.

-Good.

-Good.

And I mean, as we're neighbors,

it's -- it's totally fine

if you park there today,

but I think you're

in one of my spots.

They're supposed to be

for Shimmer customers only.

[ Soft, dramatic music plays ]

-[ Chuckles ]

-[ Chuckles ]



Nice meeting you.



Why would you lease

the space right across from me

to another facialist, Jeff?

-I lease to whoever

can pay the rent on time, Hope.

-Okay, obviously, there have

been some complications

with my product line,

and it's costing me.

-Didn't think of that before?

-I had a backer.

I had a silent partner

who funded the development

and was supposed to float me

right through the launch.

The guy up and disappeared.

I mean, it's not my fault.

-Hope, we're trying

to run a business, too.

This is not personal. Okay?

-Jeff, come on.

How long have you known me?

-Hope...

-15 years, Jeff.

And in all that time,

have I not been a good tenant?

-[ Chuckles ]

Yes, yes, yes, of course. Yes.

-Okay.

-But it's not like it was

in the beginning.

I have partners now.

We need the money.

-Okay, listen,

I really don't think

I'm supposed to tell you this,

but I have taped a segment

for "The Brett & Kylie Show."

It's airing this week.

Things are about to blow up,

right?

I'm right back on track here.

And I brought you...

...your own product,

just for you,

on me, from Italy.

-Oh.

-Because you're a part of this,

too.

-Well, thank you.

-Alright.

Listen, you got to kick

this Angel guy out, alright?

He's walking around

like he owns the place, Jeff.

-Hope, can we deal with

your problem right now,

please, first, alright?

-Yeah.

I'm gonna have it for you

next week.

-Monday, Tuesday?

-Whatever you need, Jeff.

-Monday, Tuesday.

-Okay, but I'll get

the full 90 minutes?

-Oh, of course.

-Colleen. There she is.

-[ Chuckles ]

-I know. I'm late.

-Oh, please.

We built it into the schedule

this week.

-It's not my fault.

-Oh.

-This one was chattering away,

and we sort of

lost track of time.

-I see that. Mm-hmm.

-We were being bad.

We were being bad.

-We were being bad, we were.

You know, you two

should know each other.

He lives in Thai Town.

You're practically neighbors.

-Uh-huh.

-You must be

the miracle worker of Hollywood.

-Hope.

-Jordan.

I've heard a lot about you.

Okay, so, what's the verdict?

Am I a lost cause?

Or can you make me

look 19 again?

-[ Chuckles ]

Well, how old are you?

Unh-unh. 26.

-What? How did --

-Did I tell you or not?

-How did you do that?

How did you -- What?

-Jordan, you can

entertain Marine.

-Are you sure

you don't need my help?

I'm very good with my hands.

-I'm sure you think so.

-[ Chuckles ]



So, uh, you two are...

-Oh, please, he's a baby.

-That has never stopped you

before.

-I'm not even sure

he's into women.

-That's never stopped you

before, either.

Ah, you know young people.

They are so focused these days.

They don't even have time

for sex anymore.

-Sounds like me.

-I don't know.

He makes me feel...

relevant.

And you wouldn't believe

his story.

He's a real survivor,

you know, like you.

[ "Nuclear Seasons" plays ]





When you go, please don't

leave your love in the sun

My heart will melt away

In the night

with your twisted tongue

When you drop the b*mb,

I'm blown away

'Cause I-I-I-I

Refuse to hide

in a page of this story

-Hope?

-Jessica! Oh, my God!

I'm sorry.

I'm so gross and sweaty.

It's been too long.

When are you gonna

come see us?

We miss you.

-I know, I know.

I've actually been really busy.

I've just come back

from filming in Azerbaijan.

-No way. Oh, my goodness.

-Yeah, I know. How crazy.

-You are blowing up!

-Thank you.

What about you? How are things?

-You know, I'm great.

I'm -- I'm finally

launching my own line.

Yeah, it's happening.

Hang on.

I know Marine's

been trying to get you products,

but [Gasps] I have a moisturizer

right here!

-[ Laughs ]

I see. So fun!

-I'd love for you to share it,

and share it online.

I have a reserve supply

for all my VIPs, like you.

-Oh, you're the best!

-You're never gonna run out.

-This reminds me, the place

that's just opened --

the skincare place

across the way.

is that -- is that you?

It looks amazing.

-Oh, no, that's --

No, that's not.

I actually --

-That's not?

-That's -- That's, like, this --

No.

-Oh. Oh, okay.

-Yeah, but...

-Well...

-Here's your tea.

-Thank you so much.

-Well, this looks fantastic.

I will go again,

and I will see you soon.

-Alright.

So good to run into you.

-Bye.

-[ Sighing ] Oh.

Uh, excuse me.

Uh, do still you sell, um,

cigarettes?

-Oh, yeah.

-Can I get a pack?

-Yeah, sure.

-Yeah. For my friend.

-Okay.

-Okay.

















Jordan?

-Well, I've only been in L.A.

a few years,

but I already think

it's the best.

Everyone here is so,

like, so real and interesting.

-[ Chuckles ]

-That's -- What?

What?

-Okay. Yeah.

I mean, obviously, there's

a whole superficial side

of things.

There is that.

But then there are

people like you.

-Like me?

-Yeah.

-Oh, yeah? What about me?

-You're k*lling it.

Aren't you, like, starting

your own line or something?

That's what Colleen told me.

-Come by later this week,

and I'll give you

some samples to try.

-See, that is exactly

what I'm talking about.

Everyone is so nice,

and they're living their dreams,

and they're really doing it.

-Well, between you and me,

having your own product line,

it's not all that glamorous.

I mean,

the costs are always piling up,

and you always have to bet

what you've already made

in order to keep up.

And I was a baby

when I started all this.

I was just breaking up

with my ex-husband at the time,

and then I just poured

everything into the business.

You know?

That's what you have to do.

-Mm.

-Hmm.

-Listen, I've got to

tell you something.

-Oh, no.

-No, no, no, it's not bad.

I promise.

When I first moved here,

I wanted to be a photographer,

right?

So I was working as a free P.A.

for all these different

photo shoots.

And there was one photo sh**t

that I worked on

called

"The Seven Faces of Wellness."

-Shut up. No, you did not.

-Yes, yes, I did.

-I don't remember you.

-You wouldn't.

I was barely even there.

But I really remember you.

You know, and I just

remember being so inspired...

-Oh, my God.

-...by how successful you were.

I'm serious, it, like, really

impacted me for work.

-What is work, exactly?

-I'm a life coach.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Some of it is spiritual,

but then I know martial arts,

so I can teach people

self-defense

in addition

to giving them life guidance.

It's all -- You know,

it's all connected.

-Oh. Alright,

I need to get going.

-Oh, here.

Before you go, here's my card.

-Oh.

-Who knows?

Maybe I can, uh, help you.



-Maybe you can.









[ Cellphone vibrating ]

[ Clicking ]





[ Cellphone vibrating ]



Hello?

-[ Breathing heavily ]

-Hello.

-[ Breathing heavily ]

-I can hear you. Hello?

-[ Breathing heavily ]

-Who is this?

Hello?





[ Cellphone vibrating ]

Hey, Colleen.

-Are you okay?

-Oh, I got this weird text

last night,

but my piece

on "Brett & Kylie"

is airing this morning.

Marine and I

are gonna watch it together.

-Hope, what are you

talking about?

Well, you know,

Marine is not just my assistant.

She's kind of head of P.R.,

and --

-Hope, Hope, the e-mail.

-What e-mail?

-The one where you talk about

how lonely and horny you are.

-Excuse me?

-Among other things,

I might add.

-Oh. Wait. What?

Colleen, what e-mail?

That's -- That's not me.

-Well, should I be worried?

-Hold on.

This "Dear friends" thing?

"Dear friends, for so long,

I felt an emptiness inside me.

I can no longer keep this --"

Wait.

What the hell is this?

-Were you drunk last night?

-No!

-Hope! Hey.

-Oh, sh*t.

-Um, Colleen, uh, hold on.

-Hey. Are you okay?

-Hi, Jeff.

Um, yeah, Marine, I know

you need me do that thing.

-What thing?

What are you talking about?

-I know. Yeah, yeah, I know.

-I wanted to ask you about...

Marine needs me to do

the thing I promised her,

so I'm going to come by later.

But, hey, don't forget

to watch me

on "Brett & Kylie," okay?

-Alright.

-Okay, great. Hold on.

Hold on. Where did it go?

"I don't feel like myself.

I feel a profound loneliness"?

Jesus Christ! [ Gasps ]

[ Horn honks ]

Sorry, sorry. Thank you.

Okay.

-Keep reading.

-"I feel like the inside

of my body is turning to ash"?

What?

"And time is running out.

When I wake up in the morning,

all I want is a..."

Oh!

..."a hard d*ck"?

-There it is.

-Oh, my God.

"I'm reaching out to you,

all my clients and my friends,

to ask for help.

I am badly in debt,

potentially losing my business."

What?

"And desperately want

someone to f*ck my brains out"?

I mean, are you kidding? Oh!

-Oh, Jesus...

-f*ck!

-I mean, excuse me.

-Yeah, exactly. Excuse you.

-Wow.

-Are you taking

a new medication?

-This is obviously not me.

Someone's using my e-mail.

-Well, it says it's from you to

everybody in your address book.

-Oh, my God. Jesus.

-And BCC.

-I can see that.

Okay, just what do I do?

-Well, I mean...

-How do I...

[ Dramatic music plays ]

-Hope, were you

out drinking last night?

-I was not, Marine. Obviously.

I mean, Jesus, it doesn't

even sound like me, does it?

Well, it's not me, Marine.

-I know, I just...

[ Telephone rings ]

-Answer it.

-[ Clears throat ] Hi.

This is

Hope Goldman Skincare.

Okay. Fine. Okay.

Thank you for calling.

-What was it? Who was it?

-It's Bet Clarkson.

She -- She canceled.

And Renee, as well.

-Oh, Okay.

Here's what we're gonna do.

You are going to e-mail

everybody.

The entire client list, okay?

And call.

Call them, too,

and explain the situation.

We've been hacked,

and it's no big deal,

but we just wanted to let

everyone know

so there's no confusion.

Right?

Because it's not me.

-Yes. Yes. Got it.

I'm gonna make sure

I change all the passwords.

-Yes, obviously. Right. Okay.

-And, Hope,

as your head of P.R.,

we can handle this.

-Yes.

-Okay?

-Alright. Okay. Okay.

[ Cellphone chiming ]

Oh, my God. f*ck.

-What?

-Margaret.

Margaret got the e-mail. sh*t.

-Okay, okay,

we can call her first, then.

-Yeah, that's good.

That's good. Call her.

-Also, Brett called.

-Oh, call him back.

Call him back right f*cking now.

[ Telephone ringing ]

Okay. [ Sighs ]

Jesus Christ.

-It's a limited-time offer.

You can drive the car

off the lot...

-There's no answer.

-0% financing.

-Oh, my God.

The show is almost on.

This is going to be

great content.

[ Theme music plays ]

-Are you gonna film me?

-Yes. Are you kidding?

-Oh! Okay.

-You look great.

-[ Sighs ]

-Welcome back.

So, if your skin tells

the world your story,

then our next guest might

just be your new guardian angel.

Angel Vergara joins us today.

He's the owner of Shimmer

the new and, so we hear,

hottest salon in Hollywood.

-Thank you so much

for having me.

Oh, my God.

-Now, you're saying

that you are using

technology developed by NASA

on people's skin?

-That is correct, Brett.

-I cannot believe this!

This is some bullshit!

-Shh. Quiet.

-At his moment,

we maintain the exclusive rights

to microgravity body chambers,

which can reverse

the effects of aging.

-Reverse?

-Yes, sir.

I don't know any other technique

or any other facialist,

I don't care

how skilled they are,

who can compete.

-That sounds incredible.

-It is incredible,

because at Shimmer,

we are the future of skincare.

-I'm sure that your new place

is already solidly booked

for the next two months.

-Yes.

-How do I get an appointment?

-Mm, I think I know someone

who can help.

[ Laughter ]

-It's this guy.

-Yeah.

-I think -- I got five bucks,

says it's this guy right here.

That is incredibly good.

What a...

[ Click ]

-Don't -- No.

Nothing...

-Hope?

[ Door closes ]

-[ Breathing heavily ]

Aaaaah!

Thanks again for this ride.

I can't find my g*dd*mn keys.

I did not want to be late

to meet this guy.

-Oh, my God. No.

I'm so glad that I could help.

That's why I gave you my card.

What's, uh --

What's the meeting for?

Or is that -- is that

top secret?

-Oh...

-Wait, is this --

Am I dropping you off

on a date right now?

Is that what's happening?

-No, no, no, no.

It's just, I'm meeting a guy

from this TV show.

-Wow, that is so cool.

-It's a long story.

This is it, right up here.

-Yeah.

-Okay, well,

come by later this week.

-Yeah.

-And I'll hook you up

with everything.

-Oh, my God.

-Alright?

-Okay. Yeah.

-Thanks again.

-Don't mention it.

I'll see you soon.

-This Angel guy --

so, he's right there,

and then I get hacked.

I-I'm... [ Sighs ]

-You know how

people love a scandal.

I would have ignored it myself,

honestly.

But [Sighs] now

my producers got it.

-Oh, Jesus.

-And we'd already filmed

Angel's segment,

so they decided

to bump your spot and air his.

-I mean, just right

before the product launch.

I mean,

you don't think this is --

it's just so perfect, you know,

can it really be a coincidence?

-Well, I don't know about that.

No, I'm not gonna argue

with you

the timing is unfortunate,

but I-I wouldn't read

too much into it.

But the world and,

let's face it, the Internet

is full of sickos.

-Beauty is a cutthroat business.

-Business is

a cutthroat business.

-Are you wearing makeup?

-[ Chuckles ]

Caught. Guilty as charged.

Yes, I am wear--

I didn't wash my face

after the taping.

I didn't think you'd notice.

Honestly, with

the lighting in there,

I didn't think

anybody would notice.

-No, no, no.

I think it looks good.

-Thank you.

-Gives you nice contouring,

right in there.

-They contour a little bit

around the jaw.

-No, no,

it gives you definition.

-Thank you, thank you.

Of course --

Of course you would clock it.

-Well...

-You are so talented.

It's no surprise

that your products are amazing.

-Well, I'm so glad

you like them.

And even more glad

you're gonna help

get that segment

back on the air.

Okay, thanks again for dinner.

It was so nice

after such a rough day.

-Oh, it was my pleasure.

It was my pleasure.

And I'm gonna do

everything I can

to make sure that your segment

gets on the show next week.

-Oh, Brett, thank you.

It's perfect.

-[ Chuckles ]

My God, you are

just so...f*cking hot.

-Uh, um, um...

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

-Oh. Hold on, I just, uh...

Marine has been calling me

all night.

-[ Chuckling ] I'm sure

she'll be fine.

-No, I just missed,

like, so many of her calls.

-It's such a long day.

-I know, yeah.

Um...

Sorry. Um...

Are you married, Brett?

-I mean, yeah.

Uh, yes, but, um...

we've been having problems.

-Oh.

-Probably gonna get a divorce.

-Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.

-It's been hell, it's been hell.

-Yeah.

I know, divorce is so tough.

-But you and I --

I thought we had a connection.

-I feel that way, too. I do.

I...

But I didn't mean

to mislead you.

I -- It's just your show's

reach is so large

and the product line and...

-Okay.

-...this e-mail thing,

and I just knew that you...

-How about this?

Let's make a little deal.

I'll get your segment

on the show,

and you...will...

-What? I'll what?

-You give me a blow job.

-Right here in the car?

-Or in the house if you want.

Honestly, I don't care.

But this is a pretty good deal,

huh?

-Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

-We're right in the middle

of something here.

-I just -- I was accidentally

recording that.

-What?

-I accidentally --

How do you stop?

There we go, stopped it.

Okay.

[ Sighing ] Oh.

Sorry.

-You have to delete that,

obviously.

-Obviously. Yeah, I deleted it.

-You deleted the recording?

-I just deleted it, Brett.

-Can I just see your phone,

just for a second?

-I just told you, I deleted it.

Brett, come on...

-Can I just -- Let me just --

Can I see your phone, please?

-Brett!

How long have you known me?

You know

I would never intentionally

hurt anyone in that way.

Thank you.

You're a good friend.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]



-Once, when spring was new

High on a hill

-Did you forget something?

-I could not find those.

I looked everywhere.

I was late,

and I almost missed it.

But Jordan gave me a ride.

-Jordan?

Was he looking for me?

-No, I called him.

-Really?

-Also, I told him

to come by

for some products this week.

-Well, how was everything

with Brett?

-Mm. I handled it.

They're gonna air

the segment next week.

-Great.

That's even better timing.

-Hey, you don't think

this -- this Angel guy

could have gotten into

our e-mails, do you?

-What? No.

How would he even do that?

Look, I tried

calling you last night.

We've been getting

some really strange messages.

-Hmm?

-Yeah.

I assumed it was

because of the hacking,

but these aren't coming from

our mailing list.

They're really sexual

and aggressive.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]



-Is Jessica coming in today?

-Not that I have in my calendar.

Hope, these messages

are all asking for you,

and they're pretty graphic.

-Oh, what?

-Don't forget,

you have Pam soon.









[ Gasps ]

-Oh, my God, I'm so happy.

-I'm so glad to be here.

-Oh, oh. Ohhh.

[ Gasps ]

That b*tch.





[ Gasps ]

[ Door slams ]

Traitor.

-Uh, what?

What, do you need

your as*h*le bleached?

-What?

-Excuse me?

Can I help you?

-Are you kidding right now?

-Listen, it's nothing.

I'm just here to get a facial.

-Jessica, how long?!

How long have

I been helping you?!

-I think you should go.

-Look, it's nothing personal.

-It's f*cking personal, Jessica.

-Hope, please. Hey.

-Jessica, Jessica,

you walk through there --

Hey, you walk back there

and you are never, ever

allowed in my studio again.

Do you understand?

You're crossing a line

right now.

-Jessica, please go in.

I'll be there in a minute.

-Jessica!

-Hope...

-Jessica.

-...chill.

-Jessica, just come with me.

-Calm down, please.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

-Good luck

with your cystic acne!

Oh, that's your

f*cking problem now, isn't it?

-I would appreciate it if

you don't scream at my clients.

-Your clients?

Are you proud of yourself?

-As you can see,

we're very busy right now,

so if you don't mind...

-I'm not going anywhere.

[ Soft, dramatic music plays ]

[ Door slams ]



f*ck you!





What the f*ck?



[ Gasping ]



Oh, my God.

[ Gasps ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

Hey! Hey!

Did you see who did this?

Huh?

[ Clatter in Dumpster ]

Habla Ingls ?

Nothing? No help?

Because I'm calling the police.

Okay?

The police!

[ Breathing heavily ]

-911. What's your emergency?

-Um, somebody just, uh,

slashed all my tires,

and...I-I need...

I'm at Crossroads of the World

in Hollywood,

uh, in the back parking lot.

Um, I need help.

-Is anyone there with you?

-Uh, no, I-I'm alone.

I'm all alone.

[ Hammering ]

[ Indistinct conversation

on radio ]

[ Hammering continues ]

[ Pounding on door ]

[ Gasps ]

Ready?

-Yeah.

Thank God you picked up.

I really wasn't sure

if you'd be open.

-Aw, we're always open.

You know, pretty scary stuff.

When someone slashes your tires,

that's a clear message.

-What's the message?

-If I were you,

I'd make a list of my enemies,

go through one by one,

who out there

might want to hurt you.

Right?

-I am, um --

I'm getting these messages.

-You want a g*n?

That's okay.

I'll teach you how to sh**t it.

Just think about

getting a g*n.

[ Conversation

in native language ]

-Be safe, Hope.

-Thank you.

-I won't charge you

for the tires.

-Oh no, Armen, please.

Let me -- I got it.

-Oh, no, no, no. Come on.

-You're too good to me.

-You know, Hope,

I care about you.

-Yeah, I care about you, too.

-No, no, no.

I want you to know

that if you're in trouble,

you can call me.

I've dealt with some real bad

f*cking guys in my time.

-That's good to know.

-Okay.

Alright, well,

you got new tires on the car.

Your product is safe and sound

in the back.

Maybe one of these days,

you and I should hang out

sometime

outside of this garage.

[ Engine starts ]

-Good night, Armen.

-Good night, Hope.

[ Engine revs ]

-I am in misery

There ain't nobody

who can comfort me

-Oh yeah

-Why won't you answer me?

The silence is slowly k*lling

me, oh, yeah

Girl, you really

got me bad

You really got me bad

-So, looking to buy a g*n?

-Uh, I'm not sure.

-Okay, well,

what are you looking for?

-Something for self-defense.

-Self-defense? Okay, alright.

I got something

perfect for you.



Hold that.

-Okay.

-Nice?

Nice and gentle?

-Oh.

-I am in misery

-How's that feel?

-[ Sighs ]

Kind of heavy.

-It is.

-Um...

-Misery

-[ Sighs ]

-The silence

is slowly k*lling me

-[ Sighs ]

How much is it?

-It's $579 plus tax.

-Jesus, [Chuckles]

g*ns are really expensive.

-Get what you pay for, ma'am.

-You keep me wide awake

and waiting for the sun

-So, uh, let's go to the office,

do your FST,

and then

start your background check?

-Uh, okay. What's FST?

-Fire safety test.

-Oh, okay. I'm not --

I'm not good at tests.

-It's really easy. It's --

It's more of a formality.

It's not...

And then, the background check,

about 10 days,

and then --

and then she's yours.

-Oh, well, I need something

more immediately.

Like, I need something,

like, today.

-Oh, okay.

-[ Sighs ]

-What about that?

-It's a classic. 30 bucks?

[ Soft music plays ]



-Hope!

-Oh!

Oh.

-[ Chuckles ]

Sorry.

I didn't mean to startle you.

-[ Sighs ]

-Hey, this is my grandson, Ben.

-Hi.

-Yeah, we were just shopping

for some equipment

for a little fishing trip.

-Oh, cool, yeah.

Hi, little boy.

-Hey, Ben,

why don't you go

to the bait counter?

I'll catch up with you, okay?

Hope it was about the, uh --

the rent.

-No, no, I --

Jeff that's handled, okay?

-Oh, that's great.

Well, I'll stop by tomorrow

and pick it up.

-Okay.

-Yeah, I knew

you'd figure it out.

-Thanks. Okay.

So, I have a client

that I'm late for.

-Bye.

-Okay. I'll stop by.



-Alright, come back.

-[ Sighs ]

-Margaret, thank you again

for being so understanding

about the e-mail.

-Oh, I get it.

I've been hacked before.

Plus, I'd be totally insane to

pass on a free facial from you.

-Oh, well, it's my treat.

Your audience

is gonna love these products.

When we're done here,

I'll take you through

the whole line.

Your support

means so much to me.

[ Door opens ]

[ Bell jingles ]

-I'm sorry. Can I help you?

-Yeah. I'm looking for

Hope Goldman.

-She's with a client right now.

Do you have an appointment?

-Oh, yeah.

It wasn't clear to me,

you needed an appointment.

[ Soft, dramatic music plays ]

-Well, what's your name?

-I'd rather not say.

-I'm sorry,

we don't do walk-ins.

Is there something

I can help you with?

-I'm here for the posting.

-The what?

-For Hope, her posting.

-Do you need a facial or...

-Yeah. Yeah,

I'll take the whole menu.

-I'm -- I'm sure you

can schedule a con--

-Huh?

-A consultation. You can --

-Why? Is that part of it?

Now, look,

online it said that --

-Sorry, I think there's been

a misunderstanding.

-What the f*ck is up

with this c*ck bullshit?!



-Uh, Margaret.

-Mm-hmm?

-Uh, excuse me.

Just excuse me for one sec,

okay?

-Yeah, of course.

-Just got to go

and see what's going on.



Uh, excuse me?

-Are you Hope Goldman?

-How can we help you?

-He said he came here

to f*ck you.

-f*ck is wrong

with you b*tches?!

-Hey!

Hey, you piece of sh*t,

you need to get out of here

right now!

-Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hey, what's going on?

-He said he came here

to f*ck Hope.

-What?!

-Marine!

-You hard of hearing, dipshit?

What the f*ck?!

Get your f*cking hands off me!

-[ Gasps ]

-Don't ever

come to my friends again.

Okay? You understand me?

Get the f*ck out of here, bro!

-Oh, my God.

-You f*cking freaks!

I was just trying to get laid.

-[ Gasps ]

[ Police radio chatter ]

[ Soft, dramatic music plays ]

-Click on that first one,

right there.



-This is so f*cked.

-Look at all these postings.

-Can you click on the one

with the photo?

-[ Gasps ]

-What the f*ck?

-That's her face.

-Someone is trying

to destroy me.

-Do you have any idea

who might have access

to pictures of your face?

-What do you think?

That's -- I'm a public figure.

-She's in magazines, dude.

It's, like, everywhere.

-This could just be

a couple of kids

pulling a prank,

but don't worry,

we'll get to the bottom of it.

-What if someone comes back?

What if somebody else

reads one of these

and shows up again?

-Okay.

-You know, he got hurt.

He was attacked.

-I never give out

my direct line,

but in this case, I will.

[ Paper tears ]

Please use it discerningly.

Okay, we're gonna get to work.

Alright, let's head out.

[ Police radio chatter ]

-I mean, that's it.

-Don't worry.

-Can we get these

off the Internet?

-I'll make sure.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

-[ Sighing ]

-I'm so sorry, Hope,

they keep popping up.

-How many pages are there?

-They keep coming back.

I don't know.



You've reached

Hope Goldman Skincare.

We're taking a self-care day

today, and you should, too.

We'll be back tomorrow,

booking appointments

and taking preorder

for our new line of products,

available now at the studio

and launching officially

next week.

Leave a message,

and we'll get back to you.

-You sit down.

I'll grab the food.

-So lucky you were there today.

-Oh.

-I'm just so -- Thank God.

-Well, selfishly, I'm thrilled.

I was just coming back

for some samples,

and now I'm getting a face mask.

-It's the least I can do.

Can I ask you --

Can I ask you something?

-Of course.

-Okay, if I were

[Sighs] a client,

what advice would you give me

for my business?

-Uh...

Okay, well, I have to warn you,

I'm gonna be honest.

You have to promise

that you won't get offended.

-Okay.

-Promise?

-Yeah, I promise.

-Okay.

[ Clears throat ]

Here, give me your hands.

[ Sighing ]

One of your gifts, Hope --

One of your many gifts,

is that you make people

feel really comfortable.

When people are

in your presence,

they feel completely at ease

and relaxed.

But what about the people

who haven't had the chance

to meet you?

You know?

The ones who you really

want to buy your products?

I mean,

your career is legendary, right?

Your products are flawless.

And your story is

inspiring as hell.

Why are these three things

connected?

You have to put Hope Goldman

in front of this business.

There are so many lies about you

on the Internet right now.

We have to counteract

all this terrible sh*t

and just -- just take control

of your narrative.

Right?

So, what does that look like?

A social-media account for work,

ads online, stuff like that.

But it is also about the work

that we do in real life.

So what I'm thinking is,

we could, I don't know,

like, throw a launch party

at your studio

for your new product line,

where I invite some

of my model friends,

you invite your VIP clients.

It would be amazing.

But more importantly,

it would tell the right story.

-[ Sighs ]

[ Soft, dramatic music plays ]



-You're right.

You're f*cking right.

-[ Chuckles ]

-How do we start?

-Okay, so, it's not perfect,

but it's a start.

-Hope Goldman Skincare.

-Yeah.

Tilt your head back

just a little bit.

Yeah. Yeah.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

-[ Laughs ]

You know,

whatever you do to your face,

you should always do

to your neck.

-Oh, really?

-Yeah.

-I told you I used to be

a photographer, right?

-You told me you were a P.A.

on some photo shoots.

-Did you ever model?

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

-I mean...

-You did, didn't you?

You did. I knew it.



-Wow.

-Oh, yeah. Do you see that?

-Yeah. Perfect.

-Look at you.

-Look out.

Like, look out to the pool.

Are you kidding me right now?

Yes. Okay.

That's probably the best picture

I've ever taken in

my whole life, right there.

-Let me see.

-Yeah. Your first post.

-[ Chuckles ]

-Oh, wait.

It's getting kind of red.

Yeah, let me

get something for it.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

-Oh, yeah.

I mean, Hope,

these are incredible.

-Thank you.

-This is -- No, I'm serious.

Look at that.

That's your profile picture

right there.

-[ Sighs ] Okay.

If you say so.

Okay, come here.

-That doesn't hurt, does it?

-No.





[ Traffic passing ]

[ Lighter clicks shut ]

-[ Sighing ]

-It's alright. Thank you.

-Oh, f*ck.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Sighs ]

Hey, Brett,

I was just thinking about you.

-Hi, Hope, listen, um,

I'm sorry about what happened.

-Um, yeah, hey,

oh, thanks again for dinner.

Um, that was, um,

so sweet of you.

Uh, nice to catch up.

-Yeah, it was, it was.

-I'm just wondering,

when do you think

my segment is gonna air?

-Look, I-I need to know

that you deleted that recording.

-Yeah, I deleted it.

I told you I deleted it.

So, um...

-Okay, here's the thing.

They don't want to air

two skincare pieces

back-to-back.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You said you were gonna

handle this, Brett.

-Hope, your reputation isn't

exactly great these days.

-Your reputation

has never been great.

Speaking of,

about that generous deal

you offered me the other night,

is that how you book

all your guests, or...

-No. Hope, you better

have deleted that, okay?

Recording people

against their will is a crime.

-I told you this.

It was an accident, Brett.

And I deleted it.

I mean, God,

why are you being so paranoid?

Listen, I'm on my way

to a meeting right now

with one of the biggest

beauty websites in the world.

And they love my products.

Love.

And you're gonna look like fools

if you don't air

my segment soon.

You know, I should

just call your producers myself

and tell them

about the hacking and e-mails...

-No, no, don't just...

-I'm sorry, what?

-I'll work on it.

-Oh, you will. Oh, great.

Thank you so much, Brett.

Brett, you're the best.

Bye. Oh, God.

[ Soft music plays ]

Margaret.

-Hope.

-So great to see you.

Thank you so much

for meeting me.

-Of course.

-I will keep this brief.

I know how busy you are.

-Oh.

-Um, first, I want to apologize

for what happened.

That was...

-Yeah. Who was that guy?

-Someone is trying

to sabotage me.

Um, but the good news is,

I just found out

that my segment

on "Brett & Kylie"

is gonna air next week,

even closer to launch.

-That's great.

-Yes!

And here's what I'm thinking.

I want to do an exclusive

online launch with you

and "Under The Skin."

I just need a small advance

so that we --

-Hope, um, listen...

unfortunately,

the site is just --

it's booked

for the next few months.

Yeah, I just found out.

-Okay.

-Yeah.

-Um...

[ Chuckling ] Okay.

It's just we -- I felt like

we had a plan for...

-I know, I know.

-...putting the products on...

-You know what? I've got to run.

I have this lunch meeting.

When this clears up,

I will get back in touch.

-Okay. Alright.

-Good to see you.

-Yeah, Thanks.

Thank you.

-Hope, Jeff came by,

looking for you.

Did you tell him

you had the money?

-Okay, I can do $1,500

for, like, all of it.

-$1,500? Are you joking?

This is great stuff.

This is designer --

all designer.

-Uh...

-How old are you? 27?

-Yeah. How did you...

-Okay, you seem

like a nice girl.

I'm gonna throw in

my products for you.

I got a serum and a moisturizer.

This is great stuff,

made in Italy.

-Okay, I can do $1,750, but

that's, like, the best I can do.

-Fine.

That's good. I'll take it.

-Hey, babe, it's Colleen.

Um, I'm just calling to cancel

our facial next Thursday.

I'm gonna be out of town.

By the way, I tried

to watch you

on "Brett & Kylie"

the other day,

but they had some other guy,

called Angel, on.

Turns out,

he's right next to you.

It's weird.

Anyway, um,

I'll talk to you soon.

[ Cellphone beeps ]

-Hey, Hope, it's Jeff.

I, uh -- I came by today.

You weren't around.

I need the rent, Hope.

Okay?

This can't wait any longer.

Alright? Please call me.

[ Cellphone beeps ]

-Hi.

I'm calling

in response to the ad

"Kooky dumb seeks

serious submissive."

-[ Gasps ]

Margaret.

-Call me back.

I'm already hard.

[ Cellphone beeps ]

-Hey, Hope, it's Armen.

Just checking in to see

how your tires are holding up

and how you're doing.

You know, I'm at the shop

if you need anything,

so just be safe.





-Jeff! Jeff!

Jeff!

Jeff, It's Angel.

He -- He's trying to ruin me.

Angel Vergara.

He is trying to destroy me.

He is harassing me.

He's posting things about me

on the Internet.

He -- He had me followed,

Jeff.

Now, can you please send some

officers over to arrest him?

-Maybe you should worry less

about what's going on

across the lot

and more about why

you told me a week ago

that you would pay rent

on Monday or Tuesday.

-He is obviously threatened

by me.

He's trying to take over

this entire plaza.

-Shh, shh.

-Look, you've had

a great run here,

but we are exploring

a lot of opportunities

with the property.

-What?

You know, I poured

everything I had into my line.

Now, the only thing

I have left in this world,

I'm in danger of losing.

-I still don't think

that any of this

is life-threatening.

-Maybe it's because

it's not your life.

Because it's my life,

and I feel very threatened!

-Angel mentioned to me

that you have been antagonizing

some of his clients.

-That's my client, Jeff!

She's my f*cking client, Jeff!

-Hope Goldman,

unless you can prove to me

this person is willfully and

repeatedly harassing you,

I'm not sure that we should be

of any help at this time.

-Jeff, I need you to listen!

Hey, do I have to prove this

to you?

Huh?

till I'm dead!

you want it to be.

Leave a message.

-It's me.

I'm outside Angel's house.

That's right,

I followed him home.

I can't see anything,

but I can hear him in there.

He is so f*cking sketchy.

I know we can prove this is him.

Call me back, okay?

Call me back.

-No regrets, just love

We can dance until we die

You and I,

we'll be young forever

You make me feel like

I'm livin' a teenage dream

The way you turn me on,

I can't sleep

Let's run away and

don't ever look back

Don't ever look back

My heart stops

when you look at me

Just one touch,

now, baby, I believe

This is real, so take a chance

and don't ever look back

Don't ever look back

We drove to Cali and

got drunk on the beach

Got a motel and...

-Human beings are

naturally hunters, right?

It's in our DNA.

It is how we were built.

But I look around me,

and I see a lot of people

who have lost sight

of who they are --

right? -- people

who have become sheep,

people

who let themselves be prey.

They go, "Oh,

I don't know what to do today.

I guess I'm gonna

wait for the shepherd."

What I want to focus on today

is remembering

that no matter what happens,

if you can focus

on who you are at your core,

you can take control

of your life.

-You make me feel like

I'm livin' a teenage dream

The way you turn me on

-He is in there. Let's go.

-Let's run away and

don't ever look back

-Do you want to be a sheep?

No, you don't.

You want to be a f*cking lion.

When you wake up

tomorrow morning,

take control of your life.

I'm serious. You can connect.

You can not only connect,

but you can transcend.

[ Music stops ]

-Where's the money?

-[ Breathing heavily ]

"Where's the money?"

-Come on, man,

I didn't know she'd have mace.

-Yeah, neither did I.

Sounds like you did good,

though.

You did good, man.

-Thanks.

I worked on it in class.

-Okay.

-You still acting?

-No, no, no, no.

I, uh, did a couple auditions

after I got out,

but, uh, I needed something

more meaningful.

So that's what I'm doing

the whole life-coaching gig.

It's f*cking taking off.

-That sounds cool.

-Yeah. I might need you guys

for another thing soon.

I could even pay you

in life-coaching sessions,

if you prefer.

-Uh...

I'm good with the cash.

-Yeah?

You're...

[ Paper rustling ]

Yeah.

-Um, so, uh...

Well, what you doing now?

-I was just in the middle

of something, so...

-Alright. Yeah.

See ya.

-I'll hit you guys up soon.

Thank you so much, brother.

How do we find

the elevator to the next level?

It's a great question.

[ Soft, dramatic music plays ]

We keep our eyes open,

and we are ready for it

when it appears.

Sometimes you have to

start a fire to put it out.

You have to create a situation

to be the hero,

to be the best version

of yourself.

Success is not an accident.

You have to

f*cking get after it.

-We need him gone.

He's getting away with it.

The cops aren't doing sh*t,

and I-I'm feeling...

I have -- I'm --

I'm out of options.

I have -- I have no options.

-It's f*cked.

I mean, it's...

-It's so f*cked.

It's undeniably f*cked.

I don't -- I'm like --

Okay, but, Hope, what if

I moved into the studio?

-What?

-Just until this blows over.

I mean, wouldn't it

make you feel safer

having somebody

with my skill set around?

-I guess that's true.

-Think about it.

I could have my own space

where I work with clients

and I help with your rebranding

in a more official capacity.

-Um...

-I could really help

and make you feel

a little bit safer.

Also --

-What are you talking about?

Jordan, what about Angel?

-Angel won't stop

until somebody talks to him.

-Exactly. Who is gonna do that?

-Why don't you

let me deal with it?

[ Soft music plays ]

-You would do that?

-Of course.

-Okay. Okay.

-Been trying to get you

to let me do this for a while.



I'll call you, okay?

-Okay. Call me after.



-That's fine, just leave it

there for 5 minutes,

and don't touch your face,

please.

I'll be back.

Hey, there.

-Hey, man.

-How can we help you?

-Well, I wanted to talk with you

for a moment about, uh...

[ Sighs ]

Is there actually somewhere

more private that we could --

we could speak?

-Sorry to interrupt, Angel.

-Yeah.

-I want to confirm

the filming for next week.

-Uh, which show is that?

-The one we're sh**ting is

the one in New York.

-I think I can do it

on Thursday morning,

but we need to check

the flights for New York.

-Okay.

[ Conversation in Spanish ]



-Sorry.

When it rains, it pours.

[ Both laugh ]

-f*ck, man,

you are blowing up.

-Thank you.

You were saying?



-My name is Jordan Weaver,

and I'm a life coach, right?

-Uh-huh.

-I'm extremely proficient

in martial arts,

so my work is all about

combining the mental

with the physical.

I wanted to discuss

potential partnership

where I could offer

my services to your VIP clients.

Listen, I think that we could be

very helpful to one another.

What sort of help do you need

around here?

Here is my card.

-I don't need any help.

And I don't know who you are.

-I'm a life coach.

-Yeah, I don't care.

You need to leave.

Now.

-Sure. Perfect.



[ Door opens ]

[ Clears throat ]

[ Sighs ]

Stupid little f*ck.

[ Sighs ]

Hey, Hope.

Yeah, it's all taken care of.

It's over.

Now he's not gonna be

a problem anymore.

Oh, relax.

He's not gonna be

a f*cking problem anymore, okay?

No. Hey, hey, hey, Hope.

Yeah, it's all taken care of.

Shouldn't be

a f*cking problem anymore.

Yeah, should have

f*cking seen him.

f*cking embarrassment,

f*cking...

[ Cellphone ringing ]

-What happened?

What did he say? What happened?

-I took care of it. It's over.

-Oh, my God! Really?!

You're incredible.

He admitted it?

He admitted to it?

-He is not gonna be

a problem anymore.

Everything is fine.

I've just got a little work

to finish up here,

and then I will come over

in a few

and tell you everything.

-Oh! Oh, God! Okay.

-Hope you have champagne.

[ Chuckles ]

-Oh! Okay. Okay.

I'll see you soon.

-Hope?

I'm so glad you called.

I was -- I just --

-Listen to me!

I was f*cking attacked.

[ Sobs ]

You told me you took care of it!

-What?

What are you talking about?

Well, Hope, slow down.

-Don't f*cking tell me

to slow down, okay?!

-That's impossible.

That doesn't --

That doesn't make any sense.

-You said this was over,

but all you did

was make it worse!

This has gone too far!

-What do you mean,

he attacked you?

I-I literally handled it.

-You didn't f*cking handle it,

obviously!

If you f*cking handled it,

then why is Angel's guy

in my house?!

-I don't know, Hope.

Just don't worry.

Everything's gon--

It's gonna be okay.

I'm gonna come over,

and we'll figure this out.

Alright?

-Do not come over.

Just stay the f*ck out of it.

I'm gonna handle it myself.

I don't need you.

-Why? W-W-Wait.

[ Sighs ]



-He's trying to intimidate me

by sending me these videos.

-This is disgusting.

-And then this guy

is in my house.

I just --

I don't know what to do.

-Hey, hey, you did the right

thing by calling, okay?

Listen, I want to be clear

about one thing.

I don't want you talking

to anybody about this anymore.

Okay?

I got it.

[ Soft, dramatic music plays ]

Don't talk to anybody

about this anymore.

You hear me?

Nothing bad is gonna happen

now that I'm involved, alright?

I'm gonna take care

of everything, okay?

-Um...

But I don't want anyone

to get hurt.

-Oh, no.

No one's gonna get hurt.

The most important thing is that

this guy, this guy right here,

is not gonna f*cking

bother you anymore.



-Um... [ Clears throat ]

Hey, uh, I -- I want you

to have this.

-Um...

-It's moisturizer.

-Yeah, we --

we got about a thousand of these

in the back, remember?

[ Chuckles ]

Yeah, it's...

But this one's...just for you.

Okay.

Alright.

Come by in a few days.

This will all be

a distant memory, Hope.

-Thank you, Armen.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

-All my life

Girl, I've been mistreated

You will never look my way



-Well, you're in a good mood

today.

-Am I?

[ Telephone rings ]

-Oh.

It's just Jordan again.

Should I tell him

you're not here?

-Oh, yeah. Just ignore it.

-Oh.

He told me

you guys got in a fight,

but he sent this package to you.

-You can open it.

-Hmm.

Ooh!

[ Chuckles ]

Well, that was nice of him.

This will look good on

the back wall, don't you think?

-[ Sighs ]

No, I'll just bring it home.

[ Vocalizing ]



-Hope.

-Hmm?

-I'm worried about you.

-Oh, I'm fine.

-Seriously, I need you

to keep it together.

I can't have you falling apart

right now.

We're way too close.

-Oh. I know we're close.

-No, I mean, we're close to

everything we've worked towards.

I'm here

because I believe in this

and I believe in you.

I've spent my whole career

working around your dream.

Well, now it's my dream, too.

-Oh, honey, honey.

I know, I -- I know.

Thank you.

-No, I...

-I know.

-Do not mess this up

for yourself.

Do you understand?

I'm not gonna mess this up.

I promise.

Uh, we're gonna

Um, I would like

to make an anonymous tip

about a crime

I believe has been committed.

Hope Goldman of

Hope Goldman Skincare --

she's been targeting

and stalking her neighbor,

Angel Vergara,

and acting very erratically.

I just think something bad

might have happened,

and I want to see

anybody get hurt.

Thank you.

-Hello.

Hope Goldman Skincare.

How can I help you?

What? When?



Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

Thank you for calling.



Hope? That was Anto.

Armen was k*lled last night.

He was in a car accident.

-Cancel all my appointments.

Yeah, I-I don't feel well.

I got to go home.

-Okay.

[ Pounding on door ]

-Just stay there.

[ Door creaks ]

-Are you Hope Goldman?

-Uh, yeah.

What's, uh -- What's, uh --

Did something happen?

-We're letting the neighbors

know

there's an active investigation.

Angel Vergara was attacked

last night.

At the moment,

he's in the hospital

in critical condition.

We don't know at this time

whether it was random

or if he was a target.

-Okay.

-I'm -- I'm sorry.

You must know him.

-Yeah. Yeah.

Yes, he's a great guy.

He's a great guy.

[ Inhales deeply ]

-Okay.

This is all his fault.

[ Breathing heavily ]

-It is?

Maybe Colleen?

Maybe we can find him.

-You f*cked me.

-What -- What are you

talking about?

Hey.

-Don't come closer!

Stay right the f*ck there.

-Hope, I need to tell

you something.

I know things have gotten

so crazy.

-Shut the f*ck up.

-Okay, no, Hope,

I'm in love with you.

-f*ck you, Jordan!

-You know, that's why

I've gotten involved

in all of this, okay?!

And now Angel

is f*cking after me.

-Angel is in the hospital,

in critical condition!

-What?

-How f*cking stupid are you,

getting caught on camera,

slashing my tires?!

-I don't know what you did,

Hope.

Get the f*ck out of here.

Oh, Jesus!

-Oh!

-f*cking damn...

-What do you want from me?!

You want money?!

I don't have any!

-You asked me to do this!

You said

that you needed my help!

Did you conveniently

forget about all that?!

Huh? f*ck!

-How could I be so stupid?

-Because you are

a dumb, pathetic b*tch

who only cares about herself,

constantly complaining

about -- Oh!

f*ck! Ow!

Ow! f*cking b*tch!

[ Pounding on door ]

-I'm coming!

[ Pounding on door ]

-Coming in!







-Look! Over here!

Over here!

Okay, over here!

-We spoke to your friend Jordan.

-Friend?

I barely know that guy.

I've spoken 15 words to him.

You know, he's stalking me.

He met me on a photo sh**t

three years ago,

and he's been in love with me

ever since.

He's the one

who slashed my tires,

in case

you haven't figured that out.

And he's been in jail.

I don't know what he's

capable of,

but he's done this kind of thing

before.

Also, can you please

do me a favor

and -- and you know,

you left --

don't leave the door open.

My products are in there, and

they're worth everything to me.

And they're super nice,

you know?

So can you just, like, make sure

that they're locked up and safe?

-Yeah, we'll get someone

right on that.

-And you know, if you want to

take a moisturizer, you should.

All of you, really.

They're unisex,

and they're amazing.

You're gonna love them.



-f*ck, man. Jesus Christ, dude.

Well, okay, okay, okay.

Everything I did,

she asked me to, okay?

She asked me to slash

her f*cking tires.

You got the wrong f*cking dude,

okay?

She's crazy.

Look what she did

to my f*cking face.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]



-It's open.

Hello?

Hope Goldman?



No one's here.

-Thank you

-Hey, isn't that

the lady from the news?

[ Telephone ringing ]

-Hello. Shimmer.

Okay. Thank you.

-[ Speaking Spanish ]

-Hey, Angel. Hey.

Wait, wait, wait.

-f*cking as*h*le.

-Help us out, help us out.

Why did anybody try to hurt you?

-Mi amor, mi amor.

Why did Hope Goldman tried

to have you k*lled?

-Hey, get the f*ck out of here.

-Okay.

-Thank you.

-Are you ready?

-Love you more.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

Watch me on the monitor.

Make sure I don't shine, okay?

-I'll look out.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

-[ Clears throat ]



-She deleted it.

-Thank you.



-Coming up, an exclusive

on the story Brett and I

can't stop talking about.

Although the exact truth

remains unclear,

it's safe to say

that the owner

of the suddenly hottest line of

Italian-made skincare products

is facing

some serious controversy.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

-Hello.

Oh, I already told you,

that's the last we have of it.

No, I'm not trying

to argue here.

I just want you to understand,

the best I can do

is put you on a wait list

until next season.

-That's right, they're calling

her the k*ller facialist.

And with good reason.

And right here,

we have exclusive footage

of aesthetician Hope Goldman,

who allegedly hired a hitman

to take out her rival.

And that exclusive footage

in an interview

taken by Kylie and me...

-I remember that.

-...just weeks before the crimes

that rocked

the Hollywood community.

Pretty dark stuff.

-Yeah.

-Skincare is not just about

how you look.

-Hmm.

-For me,

it's about inner confidence,

uh, putting the best version

of yourself out into the world.

I don't even think it's about

the skin you start out with.

I think it's about

what are you willing to do

to get to where you want to be.

It's about taking control

of your life.
