Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein (2019)

1
00:00:12,245 --> 00:00:14,814
The sets have all been scattered
to the four winds.

2
00:00:15,115 --> 00:00:16,483
All that stands is...

3
00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:18,518
this fireplace.

4
00:00:20,286 --> 00:00:23,390
But 40 years ago, this is where my father,

5
00:00:23,656 --> 00:00:24,724
David Harbour Jr.,

6
00:00:24,791 --> 00:00:28,061
conducted the noble experiment
of producing plays for television.

7
00:00:28,728 --> 00:00:31,531
Hello. I'm David Harbour III.

8
00:00:32,265 --> 00:00:33,967
And you may not know this about me,

9
00:00:34,034 --> 00:00:36,302
but I come from a long line of actors.

10
00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:40,173
Recently, I was confronted with my legacy

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,642
while I was battling rats
in my mother's attic,

12
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:47,414
and I discovered some lost footage
from Dad's old televised theatricals.

13
00:00:48,381 --> 00:00:51,117
We've been logging that footage,
looking for insight.

14
00:00:52,485 --> 00:00:53,953
Insight into my father.

15
00:00:55,455 --> 00:00:57,690
<i>Dad was a classically trained actor.</i>

16
00:00:57,757 --> 00:01:00,894
That's how I got into Juilliard!

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,731
<i>But he was soon
confronted by changing cultural tastes.</i>

18
00:01:07,067 --> 00:01:08,601
So, why are you here?

19
00:01:08,668 --> 00:01:10,108
<i>His star fading,</i>

20
00:01:10,170 --> 00:01:13,406
<i>he mounted a production
that was a desperate mix</i>

21
00:01:13,473 --> 00:01:14,473
<i>of old</i>

22
00:01:14,507 --> 00:01:15,608
<i>and new.</i>

23
00:01:15,675 --> 00:01:16,810
<i>Why this play?</i>

24
00:01:17,377 --> 00:01:19,045
<i>At this moment in time?</i>

25
00:01:19,412 --> 00:01:22,348
<i>What were the psychological forces
at work?</i>

26
00:01:22,615 --> 00:01:24,184
But it was fucked up!

27
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:26,419
- I hate secrets.
<i>- What secrets?</i>

28
00:01:26,486 --> 00:01:28,555
- Don't you?
<i>- I need answers.</i>

29
00:01:28,621 --> 00:01:31,691
I told you, David. I told you not to dig.

30
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:34,794
<i>Why this play?</i>

31
00:01:51,010 --> 00:01:52,412
<i>Where to start?</i>

32
00:01:52,812 --> 00:01:58,017
<i>The start of the story, of course.
But which story? And whose?</i>

33
00:01:59,152 --> 00:02:03,289
<i>Did it begin when I created life,
or when I myself was created?</i>

34
00:02:03,523 --> 00:02:04,657
<i>Am I a monster?</i>

35
00:02:04,724 --> 00:02:06,593
<i>A man?</i>

36
00:02:08,161 --> 00:02:09,829
Who's that?

37
00:02:11,631 --> 00:02:14,534
<i>I hear them still.
But I won't listen.</i>

38
00:02:15,301 --> 00:02:16,301
<i>Not anymore.</i>

39
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:19,939
<i>No, this is my version.</i>

40
00:02:21,841 --> 00:02:23,476
<i>Could she have let herself in?</i>

41
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:25,845
<i>It makes no difference now.</i>

42
00:02:26,613 --> 00:02:27,947
<i>She was there.</i>

43
00:02:28,715 --> 00:02:30,717
<i>She was there.</i>

44
00:02:36,789 --> 00:02:38,057
<i>Yes, yes.</i>

45
00:02:38,391 --> 00:02:41,528
<i>The proverbial starting gun.</i>

46
00:02:49,969 --> 00:02:50,969
Don't touch that.

47
00:02:52,138 --> 00:02:53,138
It's a gun.

48
00:02:54,140 --> 00:02:55,675
Aren't you going to move it?

49
00:02:56,609 --> 00:02:57,644
Why would I?

50
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:00,480
But you know what Chekhov said.

51
00:03:01,347 --> 00:03:02,347
Chekhov?

52
00:03:02,515 --> 00:03:04,884
He said that if a gun
is onstage in the first act...

53
00:03:05,385 --> 00:03:08,288
...it needs to go off later in the play.

54
00:03:32,378 --> 00:03:33,846
Your mother is dying.

55
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:39,219
Is there anything you can do?

56
00:03:39,419 --> 00:03:41,421
I'm just trying to keep her comfortable.

57
00:03:41,588 --> 00:03:44,457
I didn't become a doctor to play God.

58
00:03:56,002 --> 00:03:57,002
Yes.

59
00:03:57,503 --> 00:04:01,407
Well, as impressive as it is that you've
created something akin to human life,

60
00:04:01,674 --> 00:04:04,244
we need to make sure
that you can sustain that life.

61
00:04:06,679 --> 00:04:08,548
You want to meet Frankenstein.

62
00:04:12,051 --> 00:04:14,187
- You're Frankenstein.
- Yes, yes.

63
00:04:14,254 --> 00:04:16,589
I'm Dr. Frankenstein. Common mistake.

64
00:04:16,656 --> 00:04:17,656
For you?

65
00:04:18,958 --> 00:04:20,360
Too much time on the island.

66
00:04:21,027 --> 00:04:22,729
You want to meet Frankenstein's...

67
00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:27,099
My...

68
00:04:27,834 --> 00:04:28,834
monster?

69
00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:49,122
We best be going.

70
00:04:49,188 --> 00:04:52,158
Yes. I see a storm is rolling in.

71
00:04:52,592 --> 00:04:55,061
Mmm, it's not the storm, it's the dark.

72
00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:59,399
I welcome the storm,
the wet lashings, the freezing wind,

73
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:01,401
the sting of the salt.

74
00:05:23,156 --> 00:05:24,156
Hello.

75
00:05:24,557 --> 00:05:25,557
Hello.

76
00:05:31,464 --> 00:05:33,099
Don't get too close.

77
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:35,735
This was a successful introduction,
we're building on success.

78
00:05:35,802 --> 00:05:37,837
A bite could set him back six months.

79
00:05:37,904 --> 00:05:38,904
A bite?

80
00:05:39,272 --> 00:05:40,440
So he's not fully socialized?

81
00:05:40,506 --> 00:05:42,342
Oh, no. We'll have to work with him
for years

82
00:05:42,408 --> 00:05:44,243
before it's safe for him
to even shake hands.

83
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:45,611
Oh! He's going for the gun!

84
00:05:45,678 --> 00:05:47,038
Get out of here!

85
00:05:52,785 --> 00:05:56,522
Stick to the protocol, you fool.

86
00:05:57,190 --> 00:06:00,159
Remember, you're pretending to be me,
Dr. Frankenstein,

87
00:06:00,226 --> 00:06:02,829
while I pretend to be
the life that you've created

88
00:06:02,895 --> 00:06:05,841
in order to secure funding from her,
who represents the Research Institute.

89
00:06:05,865 --> 00:06:07,066
But this is not going to work

90
00:06:07,133 --> 00:06:11,070
if you don't stick
to the pre-approved list of things to say.

91
00:06:11,137 --> 00:06:13,439
How am I supposed to stick to the list,

92
00:06:13,506 --> 00:06:15,274
when she can say whatever she wants?

93
00:06:15,341 --> 00:06:17,977
Use one of the default phrases.
For example,

94
00:06:18,378 --> 00:06:22,215
"I have to get back to the lab,"
or, "My mind is in the lab," or...

95
00:06:22,281 --> 00:06:25,084
better yet, just say nothing.

96
00:06:25,485 --> 00:06:27,019
Remember to say no...

97
00:06:27,086 --> 00:06:29,055
Is it safe?

98
00:06:31,858 --> 00:06:33,459
The sea captain left without me.

99
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:36,362
Seems as though
I'll have to spend the night.

100
00:06:42,635 --> 00:06:45,204
<i>What made my father
such an incredible actor?</i>

101
00:06:45,538 --> 00:06:49,342
Was it the same things that caused him
to be a disinterested father?

102
00:06:52,378 --> 00:06:54,547
I've recreated my father's office,

103
00:06:54,614 --> 00:06:56,454
and I'll be bringing in
some of his colleagues,

104
00:06:56,482 --> 00:06:57,802
hopefully to spark some memories.

105
00:06:57,850 --> 00:07:01,120
Did my father have a compulsion
to court disaster?

106
00:07:01,888 --> 00:07:03,589
Or like Dr. Frankenstein...

107
00:07:04,891 --> 00:07:07,059
did he have a desire to play God?

108
00:07:07,126 --> 00:07:09,595
Your father loved to challenge himself.

109
00:07:09,662 --> 00:07:10,563
I mean,

110
00:07:10,663 --> 00:07:12,932
he bit off a lot with this play.

111
00:07:13,466 --> 00:07:15,001
That dual role, right?

112
00:07:15,535 --> 00:07:16,369
Uh...

113
00:07:16,436 --> 00:07:18,070
- Frankenstein and the monster.
- No.

114
00:07:18,404 --> 00:07:19,404
Um...

115
00:07:19,605 --> 00:07:21,941
He was Dr. Frankenstein,

116
00:07:22,041 --> 00:07:26,012
who sometimes pretended to be the monster.

117
00:07:26,245 --> 00:07:29,582
So, uh... so, Joey Vallejo, the actor
who played opposite my father,

118
00:07:29,649 --> 00:07:31,617
- the actor who played Sal.
- Joey.

119
00:07:31,684 --> 00:07:34,420
Joey was the hot, young thing
at the time.

120
00:07:34,654 --> 00:07:36,422
So, it was only natural

121
00:07:36,489 --> 00:07:39,425
that he and your father would clash.

122
00:07:39,725 --> 00:07:41,828
What? I thought
they got along really well.

123
00:07:41,894 --> 00:07:44,397
- I thought that was...
- Oh, no. They were competitive.

124
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:46,933
And they shouldn't have been.
He needed Joey.

125
00:07:47,266 --> 00:07:51,137
And Joey needed him, because Joey didn't
really know that much. Your Dad did.

126
00:07:51,204 --> 00:07:55,641
If you could give one piece of advice
to aspiring actors, what would it be?

127
00:07:55,708 --> 00:07:58,308
It'd be impossible for me.
I'd need to give three.

128
00:07:58,478 --> 00:07:59,478
Enunciate.

129
00:07:59,979 --> 00:08:02,515
Enunciate. Enunciate.

130
00:08:02,815 --> 00:08:06,319
He had no patience for the young actors
who wouldn't put in the work.

131
00:08:06,385 --> 00:08:08,921
Right from the get-go,
when Joey came in to audition,

132
00:08:08,988 --> 00:08:10,423
he was very, um...

133
00:08:10,756 --> 00:08:11,891
Force of nature...

134
00:08:12,992 --> 00:08:14,293
- Yes, he was very...
- Yeah.

135
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,560
I mean, I don't know
if you'd call it a force of nature.

136
00:08:16,596 --> 00:08:19,198
- He was very... just chaotic.
- Ooh.

137
00:08:19,932 --> 00:08:23,002
I mean, he didn't, uh...
He didn't know any of his lines.

138
00:08:23,069 --> 00:08:23,970
Mmm.

139
00:08:24,036 --> 00:08:26,806
He wandered around sort of aimlessly,

140
00:08:26,873 --> 00:08:29,575
kind of knocking things over
on the desk and stuff.

141
00:08:29,642 --> 00:08:32,111
What did he... What did he do?
What did he do in the audition?

142
00:08:32,178 --> 00:08:33,546
He played a young...

143
00:08:33,779 --> 00:08:36,182
- In the audition? What do you...
- Yeah.

144
00:08:36,249 --> 00:08:39,719
It's so... It seems wild to me
that you would ask something like that.

145
00:08:39,785 --> 00:08:41,420
- Wild?
- That we'd spend this much time

146
00:08:41,487 --> 00:08:42,822
on this subject.

147
00:08:42,889 --> 00:08:46,125
He was younger than your father.
That's what it boiled down to.

148
00:08:55,034 --> 00:08:56,602
I'll sleep in the lab.

149
00:08:57,637 --> 00:09:00,907
Under no circumstance should
Miss Macbeth be allowed down there.

150
00:09:02,108 --> 00:09:04,210
When she comes back from the powder room,

151
00:09:04,277 --> 00:09:07,079
you tell her you'd love to chat
but your mother is dying.

152
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,849
My mother is dying.

153
00:09:11,117 --> 00:09:12,752
I think Miss Macbeth likes me.

154
00:09:12,818 --> 00:09:16,322
Yes. Just try to act like me
when she returns, would you?

155
00:09:17,189 --> 00:09:18,925
- I'm not an actor.
- What?

156
00:09:19,458 --> 00:09:20,960
You say you're not an actor?

157
00:09:21,294 --> 00:09:23,262
If you did say that, I...

158
00:09:23,996 --> 00:09:25,398
I think I'd agree with you.

159
00:09:26,198 --> 00:09:27,198
Although...

160
00:09:28,434 --> 00:09:31,137
acting may not be what you think it is.

161
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:33,439
An actor...

162
00:09:34,407 --> 00:09:37,143
shouldn't broadcast his emotions.

163
00:09:37,843 --> 00:09:42,615
Be they anger, sadness, joy,
fear, even grief.

164
00:09:43,683 --> 00:09:46,619
A performer who showcases his talent

165
00:09:46,686 --> 00:09:49,188
is no better than a rich man
boasting about his billfold.

166
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:53,993
An actor shouldn't glide across the stage
more gracefully than a common man,

167
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:58,497
nor should he play the clown,
a studied simplicity in every gesture.

168
00:09:58,564 --> 00:10:02,702
- I... I can't tell what to...
- Beware of the trap of accents.

169
00:10:03,135 --> 00:10:04,403
Like the gangster,

170
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:07,707
with all these "deez" and "dems"
and "donz" that you wonder...

171
00:10:07,773 --> 00:10:09,451
...why he hasn't spent

172
00:10:09,475 --> 00:10:13,312
some of his ill-gotten gains
on speech therapy, huh?

173
00:10:13,379 --> 00:10:14,780
Or the worst.

174
00:10:15,214 --> 00:10:16,415
The baby,

175
00:10:16,482 --> 00:10:18,084
the method actor,

176
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:21,454
who travels all the way back to infancy

177
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,490
in search of sense memories.

178
00:10:24,557 --> 00:10:27,893
He rocks in the fetal position,

179
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:33,599
beckoning the audience to nurse him.

180
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,636
What's left, you ask.

181
00:10:36,702 --> 00:10:37,702
Well...

182
00:10:38,504 --> 00:10:39,705
everything.

183
00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:43,743
In that sliver of authenticity,

184
00:10:44,143 --> 00:10:47,880
a universe you shall find.

185
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:51,283
And that's how I got into Juilliard!

186
00:10:59,225 --> 00:11:01,427
But I pursued science instead.

187
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:04,964
- You were my father's agent.
- David, it was 50 years ago.

188
00:11:05,031 --> 00:11:06,966
Why now? What's the emergency?

189
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:07,967
Why not now?

190
00:11:08,034 --> 00:11:10,002
I have unanswered questions, all right?

191
00:11:10,369 --> 00:11:12,738
Well, you shouldn't be digging
in the dirt like this.

192
00:11:12,805 --> 00:11:14,549
You're gonna get dirt
under your fingernails.

193
00:11:14,573 --> 00:11:16,776
- I don't mind dirt under my nails.
- Mmm.

194
00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:19,812
They'd have to...
They'd have to remove your nails.

195
00:11:20,046 --> 00:11:21,147
That could be torture.

196
00:11:25,151 --> 00:11:28,020
Uh, you're talking
about removing my fingernails?

197
00:11:28,087 --> 00:11:29,087
Hmm.

198
00:11:29,889 --> 00:11:31,569
What are you doing?
Are you threatening me?

199
00:11:58,484 --> 00:12:00,319
No! No, no, no. Not near the gun.

200
00:12:02,354 --> 00:12:03,956
I'm not curious about the gun.

201
00:12:14,633 --> 00:12:15,968
You worry too much.

202
00:12:16,669 --> 00:12:19,338
- Was that your niece?
- Yes, the little niece.

203
00:12:19,772 --> 00:12:20,772
Well, it's getting late.

204
00:12:20,806 --> 00:12:22,942
Got everything you need?
Sorry you have to sleep here.

205
00:12:23,943 --> 00:12:25,978
Absolutely. And don't be sorry.

206
00:12:26,445 --> 00:12:28,581
I told the sea captain to go on without me

207
00:12:28,647 --> 00:12:30,916
so that we could discuss things
more frankly.

208
00:12:31,183 --> 00:12:32,718
- Ah.
- Yes.

209
00:12:32,785 --> 00:12:34,353
Now, tell me, Dr. Frankenstein,

210
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:36,956
what is it that you're hiding?

211
00:12:38,491 --> 00:12:39,692
What do you know so far?

212
00:12:40,092 --> 00:12:41,427
I know you need help.

213
00:12:43,629 --> 00:12:46,365
I know you're all alone out here
on this island.

214
00:12:48,334 --> 00:12:51,704
And I know I'm wasting the best years
of my life behind a musty old desk,

215
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:53,011
- when I belong...
- In my arms.

216
00:12:53,072 --> 00:12:54,373
In a sterile lab!

217
00:12:54,740 --> 00:12:55,941
I'm a scientist!

218
00:12:56,008 --> 00:12:57,443
Who's down there?

219
00:12:57,843 --> 00:12:58,978
Mother, is that you?

220
00:12:59,044 --> 00:13:00,679
Where's my son?

221
00:13:00,746 --> 00:13:02,615
I'm here, Mother.

222
00:13:02,681 --> 00:13:04,416
You're not my son.

223
00:13:04,483 --> 00:13:06,952
Okay, back to bed. Back to bed, Mom.

224
00:13:08,788 --> 00:13:10,055
I like the morphine.

225
00:13:10,122 --> 00:13:11,257
I know you do.

226
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,476
I recreated my father's office, down...

227
00:13:30,543 --> 00:13:34,680
Everything. You know, I have the phone,
the stapler, pens, the gun.

228
00:13:35,014 --> 00:13:37,783
My Dad's chili. I made this today.

229
00:13:38,617 --> 00:13:41,353
Just hope it'll spark some memories
for you.

230
00:13:42,021 --> 00:13:44,089
Hey. Have some chili.

231
00:13:44,156 --> 00:13:46,659
Take a bite.
Let's see if any memories come back.

232
00:13:50,262 --> 00:13:52,932
Mmm. Mmm, mmm.

233
00:13:52,998 --> 00:13:54,200
- Yeah?
- Mmm.

234
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,800
Yeah.

235
00:13:56,235 --> 00:13:57,235
Yeah.

236
00:13:57,570 --> 00:13:59,238
Yeah. Yeah.

237
00:13:59,572 --> 00:14:00,906
Yes!

238
00:14:00,973 --> 00:14:02,274
I remember.

239
00:14:02,942 --> 00:14:04,343
I remember.

240
00:14:04,777 --> 00:14:05,845
Hello?

241
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:08,047
Is anyone down there?

242
00:14:08,614 --> 00:14:09,849
It's Miss Macbeth.

243
00:14:14,253 --> 00:14:15,821
You shouldn't be here.

244
00:14:15,888 --> 00:14:17,423
I didn't know who to talk to.

245
00:14:18,457 --> 00:14:19,491
And I suppose I...

246
00:14:20,059 --> 00:14:23,162
wanted to speak with someone
who wouldn't fully understand.

247
00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:25,631
Well, that's me.

248
00:14:25,931 --> 00:14:27,700
Oh. You're modest.

249
00:14:29,168 --> 00:14:31,537
Well, you're more of a gentleman
than that Dr. Frankenstein,

250
00:14:31,604 --> 00:14:32,705
I'll tell you that much.

251
00:14:35,374 --> 00:14:36,642
What did he do?

252
00:14:37,643 --> 00:14:40,813
He made a cheap pass at me
the first time he had me alone in a room.

253
00:14:41,413 --> 00:14:42,848
Oh, no.

254
00:14:44,316 --> 00:14:46,051
Oh, you're taking it hard.

255
00:14:48,487 --> 00:14:50,256
Well, he created me.

256
00:14:52,825 --> 00:14:54,960
All I wanted was to work for him and...

257
00:14:55,327 --> 00:14:56,327
study you.

258
00:14:57,162 --> 00:14:58,831
Maybe he'd create a mate for you.

259
00:14:59,865 --> 00:15:01,367
You'd like that, wouldn't you?

260
00:15:02,835 --> 00:15:04,036
A steady girlfriend?

261
00:15:04,837 --> 00:15:06,038
Uh...

262
00:15:06,839 --> 00:15:08,741
If she said yes.

263
00:15:08,807 --> 00:15:09,807
Oh.

264
00:15:10,542 --> 00:15:12,411
She'd have to be a fool not to.

265
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:15,447
There's a purity to you.

266
00:15:16,548 --> 00:15:18,617
You operate from pure instinct.

267
00:15:19,184 --> 00:15:20,753
Like all the great actors do.

268
00:15:21,387 --> 00:15:23,322
I don't know that acting is...

269
00:15:23,522 --> 00:15:25,658
just about pure instinct.

270
00:15:26,158 --> 00:15:27,159
Hmm.

271
00:15:27,660 --> 00:15:28,660
Acting...

272
00:15:31,897 --> 00:15:32,897
Acting is...

273
00:15:39,471 --> 00:15:41,540
Wow.

274
00:15:45,177 --> 00:15:47,146
Do you like that?

275
00:15:47,212 --> 00:15:48,781
- It's called a kiss.
- Mmm.

276
00:15:49,648 --> 00:15:51,850
It tickles.

277
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:10,336
Frankenstein's
Monster's Monster, Frankenstein

278
00:16:10,402 --> 00:16:13,238
<i>is brought to you
by the Juilliard School of Drama.</i>

279
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:14,940
<i>How will you get into Juilliard?</i>

280
00:16:15,207 --> 00:16:16,909
<i>Chekhov Guns & Ammo.</i>

281
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:18,177
<i>You're gonna fire it.</i>

282
00:16:18,377 --> 00:16:21,747
<i>And London, USA, which paid
for the honor of this advertisement.</i>

283
00:16:22,181 --> 00:16:25,417
The finer things don't need to be fancy.

284
00:16:26,452 --> 00:16:29,321
That's why I like hit plays
and the beef Wellington

285
00:16:30,022 --> 00:16:31,357
of London, USA.

286
00:16:39,164 --> 00:16:41,834
There were too many sponsors
and too little money.

287
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:43,502
David insisted on flying over

288
00:16:44,103 --> 00:16:46,138
his idol, the British actor...

289
00:16:46,438 --> 00:16:48,073
- Aubrey, uh... whatever
- Fields.

290
00:16:48,140 --> 00:16:49,842
I welcome the storm...

291
00:16:49,908 --> 00:16:51,076
...the wet lashings,

292
00:16:51,276 --> 00:16:52,444
the freezing wind,

293
00:16:52,644 --> 00:16:54,113
the sting of the salt.

294
00:16:54,179 --> 00:16:56,615
The greatest actor in the world.

295
00:16:56,682 --> 00:16:58,617
The host of, uh, <i>The Actor's Trunk.</i>

296
00:16:58,684 --> 00:17:01,053
Hello. I'm Aubrey Fields,

297
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,455
and this is <i>The Actor's Trunk.</i>

298
00:17:05,891 --> 00:17:09,461
<i>And today, our guest teacher
is a favorite of mine,</i>

299
00:17:09,795 --> 00:17:11,330
<i>Mr. David Harbour Jr.</i>

300
00:17:11,397 --> 00:17:13,799
I think we can do some work today.

301
00:17:14,533 --> 00:17:17,102
Let's see what Aubrey left us
in the trunk!

302
00:17:17,169 --> 00:17:18,971
How can we use this tennis racket...

303
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:23,242
so that it's not particularly obvious?
A snowshoe, perhaps?

304
00:17:24,410 --> 00:17:25,911
A cane of sorts?

305
00:17:26,412 --> 00:17:27,513
A fencing mask.

306
00:17:27,579 --> 00:17:31,150
That's when your father
used to tell people he went to Juilliard.

307
00:17:31,216 --> 00:17:33,719
And that's how I got into Juilliard.

308
00:17:33,786 --> 00:17:35,854
No, no, no. Never went to Juilliard.

309
00:17:35,921 --> 00:17:37,966
- He did go to Juilliard.
- He never went to Juilliard.

310
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:39,590
I think that's a little hard to believe.

311
00:17:39,625 --> 00:17:41,160
Actually, um, if I may.

312
00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:42,494
Uh, that is true.

313
00:17:42,561 --> 00:17:44,329
Your father didn't go to Juilliard.

314
00:17:44,530 --> 00:17:45,530
Who are you?

315
00:17:46,098 --> 00:17:47,366
I am a dramaturg.

316
00:17:47,433 --> 00:17:48,767
I hired him as an assistant.

317
00:17:49,101 --> 00:17:50,269
- He's a dramaturg?
- Well...

318
00:17:50,335 --> 00:17:51,236
You're a dramaturg.

319
00:17:51,303 --> 00:17:53,539
Hey, I sort of can't believe this.
I mean, Juill...

320
00:17:53,605 --> 00:17:56,175
He went...
Juilliard was his entire identity.

321
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:58,710
Yeah, and he was ridden by guilt
over the lie.

322
00:17:58,777 --> 00:18:02,114
He did begin to overeat.
He'd go to London, USA, three times a day.

323
00:18:02,181 --> 00:18:05,117
What's taking so long?
I'm hungry, you give me cold beef.

324
00:18:05,184 --> 00:18:08,921
He was seen going through a garbage can,
eating pastry.

325
00:18:09,221 --> 00:18:11,290
And throwing away the meat.
Can you believe that?

326
00:18:11,356 --> 00:18:13,468
To be clear, he wasn't eating
out of the garbage cans.

327
00:18:13,492 --> 00:18:15,470
He was just throwing the meat
into the garbage can,

328
00:18:15,494 --> 00:18:17,062
so he could eat the pastry alone.

329
00:18:17,129 --> 00:18:20,299
So he lost this beef Wellington
commercial contract?

330
00:18:20,365 --> 00:18:22,167
Well, they renegotiated him
down to nothing.

331
00:18:22,234 --> 00:18:24,570
They took it as an opportunity to, uh...

332
00:18:25,337 --> 00:18:26,939
get him for less, and they indeed did.

333
00:18:27,239 --> 00:18:29,041
So, Chekhov Guns & Ammo stepped up,

334
00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:31,043
and that's obviously
dirty money right there.

335
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:33,679
<i>Chekhov Guns & Ammo.
You're gonna fire it.</i>

336
00:18:33,745 --> 00:18:35,247
- Part of the mob.
- Part of the mob?

337
00:18:35,314 --> 00:18:37,716
But his marriage to your mother,
uh, was on the rocks.

338
00:18:37,783 --> 00:18:40,419
His marriage to my mother
was on the rocks?

339
00:18:40,486 --> 00:18:42,630
His marriage to whoever
he was married to at that time.

340
00:18:42,654 --> 00:18:45,134
My mother is the only person
he's ever been married to, Graham.

341
00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:47,659
- Well, it was on the rocks.
- You find that in your research?

342
00:18:47,726 --> 00:18:49,370
- Whatever...
- It was on the rocks.

343
00:18:49,394 --> 00:18:51,463
- It was on the rocks.
- Okay. I was fucking him.

344
00:18:51,530 --> 00:18:53,532
- You weren't the only one.
- Yeah, I know.

345
00:18:54,867 --> 00:18:56,635
He and I were great friends.

346
00:18:56,702 --> 00:18:57,702
Hey, Monica.

347
00:18:57,803 --> 00:18:58,803
Monica Fulton.

348
00:18:59,638 --> 00:19:01,006
My favorite actress.

349
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,408
And I'm going to add to the trunk...

350
00:19:07,045 --> 00:19:08,447
a frying pan.

351
00:19:09,348 --> 00:19:11,250
Here...

352
00:19:12,751 --> 00:19:14,219
on <i>The Actor's Trunk.</i>

353
00:19:15,487 --> 00:19:17,256
<i>I always put a food in the pan.</i>

354
00:19:18,056 --> 00:19:20,125
Right? So, for me, today, it's an egg.

355
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:22,227
You can be cooking the egg and...

356
00:19:22,928 --> 00:19:24,930
you know, it's kind of passive... Honey?

357
00:19:25,664 --> 00:19:26,899
Honey, breakfast is ready.

358
00:19:27,299 --> 00:19:28,299
It's my son.

359
00:19:29,368 --> 00:19:30,368
Darling!

360
00:19:34,206 --> 00:19:35,307
Dear?

361
00:19:40,045 --> 00:19:43,549
And then it's sinking in for me
in that moment. He's dead. He's passed.

362
00:19:46,652 --> 00:19:47,486
Thank you.

363
00:19:47,553 --> 00:19:49,988
- You look great, Monica.
- Oh, well.

364
00:19:50,889 --> 00:19:52,624
I've lived a charmed life.

365
00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:55,060
It's true. Because, you know, and...

366
00:19:55,661 --> 00:19:56,671
- I'm grateful.
- I'm sorry.

367
00:19:56,695 --> 00:19:59,231
- I'm sorry, Monica. I'm sorry.
- Everything's nice.

368
00:19:59,298 --> 00:20:00,808
Can you just give us a second, please?

369
00:20:00,832 --> 00:20:01,832
Well...

370
00:20:02,901 --> 00:20:05,437
I've mistimed my entrance.

371
00:20:07,873 --> 00:20:10,509
And I won't make the same mistake
with my exit.

372
00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:12,444
No.

373
00:20:13,245 --> 00:20:17,015
- Monica, uh... No, don't.
- I'll just make sure I have my parcels.

374
00:20:21,286 --> 00:20:23,088
Good morning, Miss Macbeth.

375
00:20:23,155 --> 00:20:25,357
Not now, Sal.

376
00:20:27,326 --> 00:20:28,326
Sal?

377
00:20:31,530 --> 00:20:33,098
I hate secrets.

378
00:20:34,032 --> 00:20:35,032
Don't you?

379
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:39,004
Allow me to introduce myself.

380
00:20:40,138 --> 00:20:41,807
I am Dr. Frankenstein.

381
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:44,543
This is my longtime assistant,

382
00:20:44,810 --> 00:20:45,810
Sal.

383
00:20:46,111 --> 00:20:48,780
So you've been pretending
to be Dr. Frankenstein?

384
00:20:49,214 --> 00:20:50,315
An elaborate hoax.

385
00:20:50,382 --> 00:20:53,852
But... I assure you,
it was in the service of a greater good.

386
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,990
You can tell it to the chairman
of the Institute, after I file my report.

387
00:20:58,190 --> 00:20:59,691
Your mother is dead.

388
00:21:13,538 --> 00:21:16,041
- My condolences.
- Of course.

389
00:21:16,541 --> 00:21:17,541
My mother.

390
00:21:18,443 --> 00:21:19,578
Yes, of course.

391
00:21:21,980 --> 00:21:22,981
His mother.

392
00:21:23,682 --> 00:21:27,052
- Thank you for everything, doctor.
- I hope I was some small comfort.

393
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,920
- She loved morphine.
- Did she?

394
00:21:29,454 --> 00:21:30,656
That's great.

395
00:21:32,124 --> 00:21:33,124
Unfortunately,

396
00:21:33,592 --> 00:21:35,560
there's no cure for death.

397
00:21:36,028 --> 00:21:37,663
I don't know if there should be.

398
00:21:38,263 --> 00:21:40,866
Life would be just a little less rich.

399
00:21:50,575 --> 00:21:52,711
Oh, God. God.

400
00:21:53,145 --> 00:21:54,680
My mother!

401
00:21:55,180 --> 00:21:56,214
Why are you crying?

402
00:21:56,615 --> 00:21:57,816
My mother!

403
00:21:59,151 --> 00:22:01,520
<i>Your father was very frustrated
with Joey.</i>

404
00:22:01,586 --> 00:22:05,223
He felt like he was
losing control of the play.

405
00:22:05,624 --> 00:22:07,526
Crying was your father's catchphrase.

406
00:22:07,726 --> 00:22:10,095
Now this sniveling kid upstages him.

407
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:12,364
- This little show-off.
- For Christ's sake.

408
00:22:12,698 --> 00:22:15,067
<i>The Crying Detective </i>paid for my house.

409
00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:20,472
Why are you avoiding
talking about your mother?

410
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,775
- I think the perp was in a hurry.
- Back to your mother.

411
00:22:23,842 --> 00:22:24,842
If it was really...

412
00:22:25,477 --> 00:22:27,913
the murderer's scarf,
then the murderer was...

413
00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:29,380
Big Jim!

414
00:22:34,986 --> 00:22:37,723
Things had been brewing.
It wasn't good between them.

415
00:22:37,789 --> 00:22:39,667
They didn't like each other.
Really interesting.

416
00:22:39,691 --> 00:22:41,893
- No, wait. Did they hate each other?
- Yeah.

417
00:22:42,461 --> 00:22:43,562
They hated each other.

418
00:22:43,628 --> 00:22:46,264
Joey kept on going,
and your father kept on going...

419
00:22:46,331 --> 00:22:47,999
Nudging him, nudging him, nudging him.

420
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:50,435
Your father used his craft
somewhat like a cudgel.

421
00:22:51,236 --> 00:22:54,106
Oh, God. Oh, no, God!

422
00:22:55,340 --> 00:22:56,340
Why are you...

423
00:22:56,742 --> 00:22:57,742
What are you doing?

424
00:22:59,044 --> 00:23:01,146
I was imagining it was <i>my </i>mother.

425
00:23:03,548 --> 00:23:05,517
And that's acting, sucker!

426
00:23:06,685 --> 00:23:08,787
<i>Joey just put his fist
through the set.</i>

427
00:23:08,854 --> 00:23:10,489
- That wasn't scripted?
- No way.

428
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:15,060
It's absolutely beautiful out there now.

429
00:23:15,627 --> 00:23:17,596
Greens and blues,

430
00:23:17,662 --> 00:23:21,032
and the most delicious yellows
you ever saw.

431
00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:24,102
I think I might need some more time.

432
00:23:29,341 --> 00:23:31,410
You're not going to turn me in.

433
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:35,680
Well, I want answers!

434
00:23:37,182 --> 00:23:39,684
And no one's going anywhere
until I get them.

435
00:23:52,697 --> 00:23:56,935
Is that why Dad stopped the show
and made an announcement?

436
00:23:57,002 --> 00:24:00,605
This Joey kid shows him up,
and then he has to regain control or...

437
00:24:01,239 --> 00:24:03,975
- were there darker forces at work?
- This is all family stuff

438
00:24:04,042 --> 00:24:06,287
- because you can't get over it?
- No, it's not...

439
00:24:06,311 --> 00:24:09,181
Hey, look. I'm re...
I'm recreating the office here, okay?

440
00:24:09,247 --> 00:24:11,359
- Yeah, yeah. I see.
- I want some memories. I'd like...

441
00:24:11,383 --> 00:24:14,052
I'm compiling the footage. This is...

442
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,764
- Why don't you just write a bio about it?
- You're digging yourself

443
00:24:16,788 --> 00:24:17,823
deeper and deeper.

444
00:24:17,889 --> 00:24:18,924
I don't understand.

445
00:24:18,990 --> 00:24:20,325
I don't understand either.

446
00:24:21,293 --> 00:24:23,195
- But I hate secrets.
- What?

447
00:24:23,261 --> 00:24:25,330
I hired a forensic accountant.

448
00:24:25,997 --> 00:24:28,066
And a former detective
of the Hollywood vice squad.

449
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:29,701
We put together this dossier,

450
00:24:29,768 --> 00:24:32,046
but there's a lot of things about him
you may not wanna know.

451
00:24:32,070 --> 00:24:35,307
- Your father wasn't a choirboy.
- He was a real piece of shit.

452
00:24:35,373 --> 00:24:37,919
- You believe he didn't go to Juilliard?
- Hmm. We didn't have that.

453
00:24:37,943 --> 00:24:40,278
Juilliard was locked up tight as a drum.

454
00:24:40,345 --> 00:24:42,214
So there might be other things
you don't know?

455
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,520
- Like what?
- Oh, I don't know.

456
00:24:43,548 --> 00:24:46,028
- Maybe that he murdered Joey Vallejo.
- No, nothing like that.

457
00:24:46,084 --> 00:24:47,084
Wasn't that a car crash?

458
00:24:47,118 --> 00:24:50,322
I mean, Joey Vallejo did die
under mysterious circumstances.

459
00:24:51,156 --> 00:24:52,858
And then, they're your father's own words.

460
00:24:52,924 --> 00:24:54,793
If his car went over a cliff...

461
00:24:55,260 --> 00:24:56,500
I wouldn't miss him.

462
00:24:56,561 --> 00:24:58,797
You're threatening to kill Joey Vallejo?

463
00:24:58,864 --> 00:25:00,665
I'm not threatening to do anything.

464
00:25:00,732 --> 00:25:05,203
All I'm saying is that I think that it was
one Joey Vallejo too much for this world.

465
00:25:05,270 --> 00:25:08,640
Very easy way to kill someone
is to cut the brake line of their car.

466
00:25:08,707 --> 00:25:12,711
I have the sad news to announce
that Joey Vallejo is no longer with us.

467
00:25:12,978 --> 00:25:15,914
He was younger than your father.
That's what it boiled down to.

468
00:25:17,816 --> 00:25:19,184
I'm so happy he's dead.

469
00:25:19,251 --> 00:25:21,353
- His alibi checks out.
- Yeah, that's solid.

470
00:25:21,653 --> 00:25:25,156
Look, your father did plenty of bad stuff
without making him out to be a murderer.

471
00:25:25,223 --> 00:25:29,327
Oh, like what?
Don't make me wave this gun around!

472
00:25:29,394 --> 00:25:31,162
Is it a prop gun?

473
00:25:31,229 --> 00:25:34,132
Or is it a real gun
that just fires blanks?

474
00:25:34,232 --> 00:25:35,934
That's the prop gun from the play.

475
00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:49,781
Jesus, there's a lot of material.

476
00:25:50,215 --> 00:25:51,215
Fuck.

477
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:55,186
Now, an announcement,

478
00:25:55,253 --> 00:25:56,421
the likes of which...

479
00:25:56,988 --> 00:25:59,190
I never thought I would have to make.

480
00:26:00,091 --> 00:26:01,459
But when...

481
00:26:02,060 --> 00:26:03,662
Sal said,

482
00:26:03,962 --> 00:26:05,864
"That's acting, sucker,"

483
00:26:06,197 --> 00:26:07,766
that was not acting.

484
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,303
That was an unauthorized ad-lib.

485
00:26:11,770 --> 00:26:14,739
Only I am allowed to ad-lib
for the benefit of all.

486
00:26:15,373 --> 00:26:19,110
But Joey Vallejo took it upon himself.

487
00:26:19,778 --> 00:26:21,980
And he might be a movie star,

488
00:26:22,047 --> 00:26:23,949
but this ain't the movies, kid.

489
00:26:24,015 --> 00:26:25,850
We're keeping him on a tight leash.

490
00:26:25,917 --> 00:26:29,554
We've cut most of his lines
for the remainder of the play.

491
00:26:29,621 --> 00:26:31,556
So, welcome to the theater, kid.

492
00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:43,969
I created life.

493
00:26:45,337 --> 00:26:46,571
That much is true.

494
00:26:48,139 --> 00:26:50,976
And I created it
in my own image, why not?

495
00:26:52,744 --> 00:26:54,646
But what I haven't told you is that...

496
00:26:56,982 --> 00:26:58,083
he was beautiful.

497
00:27:00,051 --> 00:27:01,653
He was brilliant, he was...

498
00:27:02,854 --> 00:27:05,323
better than me in every way.
He was perfect.

499
00:27:06,691 --> 00:27:08,326
<i>He read poetry.</i>

500
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,130
"I weep for Adonais, though he is dead.
Oh, weep..."

501
00:27:12,197 --> 00:27:14,132
<i>And recited it from memory.</i>

502
00:27:14,199 --> 00:27:15,734
"Though our tears..."

503
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,136
<i>He played chess.</i>

504
00:27:18,203 --> 00:27:20,805
<i>He sang like Art Garfunkel.</i>

505
00:27:23,174 --> 00:27:26,311
He graced me with his friendship.
He even...

506
00:27:26,811 --> 00:27:29,914
befriended a small crab in a tide pool.

507
00:27:31,650 --> 00:27:34,419
While he may have been perfect,
the world...

508
00:27:35,153 --> 00:27:36,153
was not.

509
00:27:36,521 --> 00:27:37,722
And he began

510
00:27:38,256 --> 00:27:41,926
<i>to rage at its imperfections.</i>

511
00:27:41,993 --> 00:27:43,862
<i>One night, when he was on the bluff,</i>

512
00:27:44,095 --> 00:27:47,399
<i>raging and screaming,
I went to comfort him,</i>

513
00:27:47,632 --> 00:27:48,767
<i>and he pushed me,</i>

514
00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:52,237
<i>and began chasing me around the rocks.</i>

515
00:27:52,303 --> 00:27:53,605
<i>I knew if he...</i>

516
00:27:54,139 --> 00:27:55,139
<i>caught me,</i>

517
00:27:55,674 --> 00:27:56,741
<i>he'd kill me.</i>

518
00:28:00,612 --> 00:28:02,080
I lost my...

519
00:28:02,747 --> 00:28:04,716
best friend that day.

520
00:28:05,750 --> 00:28:08,653
How am I ever gonna make a guy
like that again?

521
00:28:11,890 --> 00:28:13,224
We can do it together.

522
00:28:13,625 --> 00:28:15,894
I can tell the chairman
that you need my help.

523
00:28:16,194 --> 00:28:17,929
I don't need your help.

524
00:28:18,563 --> 00:28:20,632
I'm the great Dr. Frankenstein!

525
00:28:21,266 --> 00:28:23,368
All right. I'm sorry if I overstepped.

526
00:28:23,435 --> 00:28:25,136
So, what happened to the monster?

527
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:29,808
I shot him.

528
00:28:30,809 --> 00:28:32,010
Father.

529
00:28:34,879 --> 00:28:36,214
You shot Frankenstein?

530
00:28:36,481 --> 00:28:38,750
I had no choice.

531
00:28:40,785 --> 00:28:43,788
What do you mean you shot Frankenstein?
<i>You're </i>Frankenstein.

532
00:28:44,856 --> 00:28:48,426
A common mistake. I've learned to stop
correcting people years ago.

533
00:28:48,493 --> 00:28:49,894
I know, I keep getting it wrong.

534
00:28:49,961 --> 00:28:51,963
Yes, but you're not Dr. Frankenstein.

535
00:28:53,064 --> 00:28:54,466
Are you saying he's not?

536
00:28:54,532 --> 00:28:57,669
Assuming the story that you've told
is true, and I have no reason to doubt it,

537
00:28:57,736 --> 00:28:59,904
either Dr. Frankenstein shot the monster,

538
00:28:59,971 --> 00:29:03,108
or the monster shot Dr. Frankenstein
and stole his identity.

539
00:29:04,075 --> 00:29:05,076
It's impossible to say.

540
00:29:05,643 --> 00:29:08,012
I'll run the lab
until we find out who he is.

541
00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:11,015
Until then, Sal, do you have some ropes
we can use to restrain him?

542
00:29:11,082 --> 00:29:13,451
- Oh, sure.
- What are you doing?

543
00:29:14,185 --> 00:29:16,855
You've been with me for years.

544
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,156
Look at me!

545
00:29:18,556 --> 00:29:22,794
You know
that I'm the real Dr. Frankenstein!

546
00:29:23,394 --> 00:29:26,798
If you are, I don't like the way you've
condescended to me most of my life, and...

547
00:29:27,465 --> 00:29:28,733
if you're the monster...

548
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,703
No! You'll never restrain me!

549
00:29:31,936 --> 00:29:33,938
Sounds like something a monster might say.

550
00:29:34,005 --> 00:29:36,674
Monster? You're the monster!

551
00:29:37,041 --> 00:29:38,309
Miss Macbeth...

552
00:29:40,445 --> 00:29:41,980
was the monster.

553
00:29:50,822 --> 00:29:53,758
Of all the angels on Earth!

554
00:29:59,697 --> 00:30:00,697
Oh, no!

555
00:30:01,132 --> 00:30:02,367
Not the niece!

556
00:30:41,172 --> 00:30:42,707
My father was a monster.

557
00:31:03,127 --> 00:31:04,395
But in the years to come,

558
00:31:04,929 --> 00:31:06,731
I'll work to preserve his legacy.

559
00:31:07,832 --> 00:31:11,202
And present it in the best possible light.

560
00:31:51,643 --> 00:31:53,645
Let's go. I just wanna roll.

561
00:31:54,012 --> 00:31:55,213
This is, um...

562
00:31:56,047 --> 00:31:58,416
The finer things in life
don't need to be fancy.

563
00:31:58,783 --> 00:32:00,694
- That's why I like hit plays.
- Do it again.

564
00:32:00,718 --> 00:32:04,088
It's the beef Wellington.
That's what I've been saying, isn't it?

565
00:32:04,155 --> 00:32:06,524
- Yes. So eat the steak.
- I, uh... I...

566
00:32:09,193 --> 00:32:12,430
<i>And that's how I got into Juilliard.</i>
