00:02:16,403 --> 00:02:18,539
- Hello?
- <i>Hello, Meg?</i>

3
00:02:18,573 --> 00:02:19,941
<i>It's me,</i>

4
00:02:19,974 --> 00:02:21,208
Kathy Madison.

5
00:02:22,275 --> 00:02:23,645
I hope you're awake, girl.

6
00:02:24,812 --> 00:02:26,547
<i>It's almost midday,
for God's sake.</i>

7
00:02:26,581 --> 00:02:27,715
Of course, I'm awake.

8
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:29,984
Barely, I'd say.

9
00:02:30,018 --> 00:02:32,820
Listen, Meg, I need you
in my office in about an hour.

10
00:02:32,854 --> 00:02:34,187
Can you make that?

11
00:02:35,355 --> 00:02:36,423
Of course.

12
00:02:36,456 --> 00:02:37,491
But why?

13
00:02:37,525 --> 00:02:38,826
What's up?

14
00:02:38,860 --> 00:02:40,360
I'll be waiting.

15
00:02:40,394 --> 00:02:41,395
Don't be long.

16
00:03:06,353 --> 00:03:08,823

00:04:51,726 --> 00:04:52,727
Hey, Meg.

59
00:04:53,227 --> 00:04:54,461
Glad you made it.

60
00:04:55,096 --> 00:04:56,864
Hi, Kathy is in there?

61
00:04:56,898 --> 00:04:58,766
- Can I go in?
- One moment, please.

62
00:05:05,405 --> 00:05:07,074
Ms. Madison?

63
00:05:07,108 --> 00:05:09,043
- Meg is here.
- Send her in.

64
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:16,449
Hi, Kathy.

65
00:05:19,887 --> 00:05:22,489
Isn't that The Words
on the cover there?

66
00:05:22,523 --> 00:05:25,560
Funny, I was just listening
to them.

67
00:05:25,593 --> 00:05:28,029
He was like a god
once upon a time.

68
00:05:28,062 --> 00:05:29,864
A fallen god, I'm afraid.

69
00:05:29,897 --> 00:05:32,166
Well, a rock god, nonetheless.

70
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,769
In fact, The Words
are more popular now

71
00:05:34,802 --> 00:05:36,571
than when Jake Lion was alive.

72
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,774
Do you remember
that article you wrote

73
00:05:40,675 --> 00:05:42,910
about The Words

74
00:05:42,944 --> 00:05:45,980
and all that rock music
from the '70s

75
00:05:46,013 --> 00:05:48,583
when I first took over
the magazine from my father?

76
00:05:49,650 --> 00:05:51,652
Well, I dug it out of the vault.

77
00:05:51,686 --> 00:05:54,155
Wow. That was a long time ago.

78
00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:56,489
My first piece
for <i>Rolling Stone.</i>

79
00:05:58,526 --> 00:06:01,829
Are you still into Jake Lion
and The Words?

80
00:06:01,863 --> 00:06:04,065
Like any rock lover should.

81
00:06:04,098 --> 00:06:05,398
You want to meet him?

82
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:07,201
Are you nuts?

83
00:06:07,235 --> 00:06:09,737
He has been dead
for over 40 years.

84
00:06:10,638 --> 00:06:12,139
Well, that's what they say.

85
00:06:13,608 --> 00:06:15,643
You know, when they
first came to Paris,

86
00:06:15,676 --> 00:06:18,079
my father did a special edition
just on him,

87
00:06:18,112 --> 00:06:19,714
put him on the cover.

88
00:06:19,747 --> 00:06:21,515
Yes, I wasn't born yet.

89
00:06:22,149 --> 00:06:23,483
That was the end of The Words.

90
00:06:23,517 --> 00:06:25,553
Yeah. They tried to replace him,

91
00:06:25,586 --> 00:06:27,555
but it was like putting
someone other than Mick Jagger

92
00:06:27,588 --> 00:06:28,990
to front the Stones.

93
00:06:30,625 --> 00:06:31,792
True.

94
00:06:31,826 --> 00:06:33,928
But the point is, Jake is dead.

95
00:06:33,961 --> 00:06:36,697
He jumped into the Seine
in front of a ton of people.

96
00:06:37,832 --> 00:06:38,833
Really well.

97
00:06:40,134 --> 00:06:41,702
And I never understood why

98
00:06:41,736 --> 00:06:44,171
a rock star like him
would commit suicide.

99
00:06:45,706 --> 00:06:47,141
Rock star vertigo, maybe.

100
00:06:50,044 --> 00:06:51,245
Listen, Meg,

101
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,248
do you know anything
about <i>The Phantom of the Opera?</i>

102
00:06:54,282 --> 00:06:57,084
I know it was
a French boring story

103
00:06:57,118 --> 00:06:59,687
we had to learn in school.

104
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,721
Why?

105
00:07:02,590 --> 00:07:03,456
Well, just think about it.

106
00:07:03,490 --> 00:07:05,893
I have a couple
of important meetings,

107
00:07:05,927 --> 00:07:07,595
but I'll meet you here,

108
00:07:09,196 --> 00:07:10,497
at midnight.

109
00:07:11,299 --> 00:07:12,465
The Class.

110
00:07:14,235 --> 00:07:16,570
What the hell is The Class?

111
00:07:16,604 --> 00:07:18,839
Well, you'll find out
when you get there.

Coming right up.

135
00:09:01,175 --> 00:09:02,576
Are you an actor?

136
00:09:04,045 --> 00:09:05,046
What?

137
00:09:05,746 --> 00:09:07,815
Have you seen me in something?

138
00:09:08,315 --> 00:09:10,117
No, but honestly,

139
00:09:10,151 --> 00:09:13,954
I never knew a bartender
who wasn't an actor.

140
00:09:13,988 --> 00:09:16,757
Do you know
anything about theatre?

141
00:09:16,791 --> 00:09:18,959
I know I've done
a lot of auditions.

142
00:09:18,993 --> 00:09:21,362
So, you know
<i>Phantom of the Opera.</i>

143
00:09:21,395 --> 00:09:23,831
Is it still on Broadway?

144
00:09:23,864 --> 00:09:26,934
Mm. That's one I've never
auditioned for, sorry.

145
00:09:26,967 --> 00:09:28,269
But you know the story.

146
00:09:29,937 --> 00:09:30,938
Let me see.

147
00:09:32,807 --> 00:09:34,175
The Phantom is a guy in a mask

148
00:09:34,208 --> 00:09:36,010
and he lives
in the Paris sewers

149
00:09:36,043 --> 00:09:39,113
when he is not swinging
from Opera chandeliers.

150
00:09:39,146 --> 00:09:41,082
And he is pissed off,

151
00:09:41,115 --> 00:09:43,684
'cause he is a great composer
and he got ripped off.

152
00:09:45,286 --> 00:09:46,287
Or is that <i>Cats?</i>

153
00:09:47,321 --> 00:09:48,622
Uh-huh.

154
00:09:49,256 --> 00:09:50,991
Thanks a lot.

155
00:09:51,025 --> 00:09:52,293
And good luck.

156
00:09:52,326 --> 00:09:53,327
Thanks.

157
00:09:57,898 --> 00:09:58,899
Kathy?

158
00:10:00,434 --> 00:10:01,602
What?

159
00:10:03,471 --> 00:10:04,738
I don't...

160
00:10:05,439 --> 00:10:06,607
Kathy.

161
00:10:07,274 --> 00:10:08,275
Kathy!

162
00:10:12,413 --> 00:10:13,647
Excuse me.

163
00:10:15,049 --> 00:10:17,084
Do you know Plynth the Persian?

164
00:10:17,718 --> 00:10:18,719
Plynth?

165
00:10:20,221 --> 00:10:21,689
That's him right over there.

166
00:10:22,256 --> 00:10:24,024
Hey, Plynth!

167
00:10:24,058 --> 00:10:26,093
Got a lady here
who wants to talk to ya.

168
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:33,667
Are you Plynth the Persian?

169
00:10:33,701 --> 00:10:35,402
Yeah. What can I do for you?

170
00:10:35,436 --> 00:10:38,005
I just spoke with Kathy Madison
on the phone.

171
00:10:38,038 --> 00:10:41,075
She told me you maybe have
something to tell me?

172
00:10:41,108 --> 00:10:42,743
Oh.

173
00:10:42,776 --> 00:10:44,845
I was talking to her
about Jake Lion.

174
00:10:45,479 --> 00:10:47,848
I was his personal roadie.

175
00:10:47,882 --> 00:10:51,185
Used to help him on stage
when he was too drunk to walk.

176
00:10:51,218 --> 00:10:53,087
And I was with him in The Words

177
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,922
the year he disappeared.

178
00:10:54,955 --> 00:10:55,956
And?

179
00:10:57,491 --> 00:10:58,659
Well,

180
00:10:59,193 --> 00:11:00,427
like I told Kathy,

181
00:11:00,895 --> 00:11:03,097
Jake Lion is alive

182
00:11:03,130 --> 00:11:04,732
and only I know where he is.

183
00:11:05,833 --> 00:11:07,434
That's bullshit.

184
00:11:07,468 --> 00:11:10,871
Jake Lion is dead
for, what, 40 years?

185
00:11:11,372 --> 00:11:12,840
You know, you're cute.

186
00:11:12,873 --> 00:11:14,708
And you're a liar.

187
00:11:14,742 --> 00:11:16,377
I never lie.

188
00:11:16,410 --> 00:11:18,913
Except about the size
of my dick.

189
00:11:18,946 --> 00:11:21,015
So, finally, what's the story?

190
00:11:21,782 --> 00:11:22,783
Well, here it is.

191
00:11:23,918 --> 00:11:26,854
I'm finishing up a European tour
with Vampire Weekend,

192
00:11:26,887 --> 00:11:28,822
and I got a day off in Paris.

193
00:11:28,856 --> 00:11:29,990
<i>I'm on the metro.</i>

194
00:11:32,426 --> 00:11:33,727
Give me a Diet Coke, Rick.

195
00:11:35,396 --> 00:11:37,498
<i>The train pulls into
Pere-Lachaise.</i>

196
00:11:37,532 --> 00:11:40,100
<i>That's the big cemetery.</i>

197
00:11:40,134 --> 00:11:42,436
<i>And I started hearing
Jake Lion's voice.</i>

198
00:11:43,404 --> 00:11:44,405
<i>Loud,</i>

199
00:11:45,139 --> 00:11:46,140
<i>clear,</i>

200
00:11:46,807 --> 00:11:47,908
and live.

201
00:11:49,310 --> 00:11:50,844
And I knew that voice.

202
00:11:51,445 --> 00:11:53,347
<i>It gave me goosebumps.</i>

203
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:55,249
<i>There was no mistaking it.
It was Jake.</i>

204
00:11:55,883 --> 00:11:57,519
<i>So, you saw a ghost.</i>

205
00:11:57,552 --> 00:11:59,386
<i>Shit like that happens
all the time,</i>

206
00:11:59,420 --> 00:12:01,523
especially when
you are high enough.

207
00:12:01,556 --> 00:12:04,291
I've been sober for 20 years.

208
00:12:04,325 --> 00:12:06,393
And I knew Jake Lion
better than anyone.

209
00:12:06,427 --> 00:12:09,296
But why you didn't
go back to see him?

210
00:12:09,330 --> 00:12:10,965
I did go back the next morning.

211
00:12:10,998 --> 00:12:12,266
Couldn't find him.

212
00:12:12,299 --> 00:12:14,368
Then we left Paris.
I mean, I was on tour.

213
00:12:15,970 --> 00:12:17,972
But maybe it was, I don't know,

214
00:12:18,005 --> 00:12:19,373
someone who wanted to be him

215
00:12:19,406 --> 00:12:22,176
or an imitator.
Or, I don't know...

216
00:12:22,209 --> 00:12:23,777
No way. No way.

217
00:12:25,012 --> 00:12:26,380
I was with Jake Lion
and The Words

218
00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:28,282
until the very end.

219
00:12:28,315 --> 00:12:30,017
Did a three-month tour
around the States

220
00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:31,285
before he split to Paris.

221
00:12:32,186 --> 00:12:33,821
He was planning a new album

222
00:12:33,854 --> 00:12:36,790
and he was writing new songs
like crazy.

223
00:12:36,824 --> 00:12:39,594
And nobody ever heard him sing
those new songs but me.

224
00:12:39,628 --> 00:12:42,263
But, what does
that really prove?

225
00:12:43,364 --> 00:12:44,999
Prove?

226
00:12:45,032 --> 00:12:46,800
He was singing
one of those new songs

227
00:12:46,834 --> 00:12:48,869
when I saw him on the subway.
That's what it proves.

228
00:12:48,902 --> 00:12:51,372
Are you Meg Trudeau,
by any chance?

229
00:12:51,405 --> 00:12:52,773
I am Meg Trudeau.

230
00:12:53,207 --> 00:12:54,341
Why?

231
00:12:54,375 --> 00:12:56,977
Somebody left
something for you earlier.

232
00:13:04,485 --> 00:13:06,387
Tickets for Paris?

233
00:13:06,420 --> 00:13:08,956
Why? I don't want
to go back there.

234
00:13:08,989 --> 00:13:11,025
My God, it's not
my home anymore.

235
00:13:12,293 --> 00:13:13,595
<i>Merde!</i>

236
00:13:17,231 --> 00:13:20,467
<i>♪ You know my secret</i>

237
00:13:20,502 --> 00:13:25,806
<i>♪ In a way

238
00:13:37,117 --> 00:13:39,453
I just received a message
from Kathy Madison

239
00:13:39,486 --> 00:13:43,057
to come and to see you
before my travelling in Paris.

240
00:13:43,090 --> 00:13:44,191
Good morning, Mr. Springsteen.

241
00:13:44,224 --> 00:13:46,960
Good morning. Welcome to
the great state of New Jersey.

242
00:13:46,994 --> 00:13:47,995
Thank you.

243
00:13:48,996 --> 00:13:51,566
So, it seems Kathy thinks

244
00:13:51,599 --> 00:13:54,468
you can bring Jake Lion
back to life.

245
00:13:54,502 --> 00:13:57,171
That would be a good trick.
He's been gone for quite a while.

246
00:13:57,806 --> 00:14:00,107
But how did you meet him?

247
00:14:00,140 --> 00:14:03,110
We met in the early '70s.

248
00:14:03,143 --> 00:14:05,179
We were probably 22 years old.

249
00:14:05,212 --> 00:14:07,081
Two of us were just kids.

250
00:14:07,114 --> 00:14:09,116
He was with
his group, The Words,

251
00:14:09,149 --> 00:14:10,150
and I was

252
00:14:10,918 --> 00:14:12,186
solo act at the time.

253
00:14:12,219 --> 00:14:14,455
But his style was...

254
00:14:14,488 --> 00:14:16,524
Was more like... I think
they signed the two of us

255
00:14:16,558 --> 00:14:18,292
to be new Dylans together
actually, at the time.

256
00:14:18,325 --> 00:14:20,562
That was <i>Everybody's
Looking For Somebody.</i>

257
00:14:20,595 --> 00:14:23,097
And, uh... Around 1972.

258
00:14:24,398 --> 00:14:26,266
And did you play
some music with him?

259
00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:27,334
Not too much.

260
00:14:27,368 --> 00:14:29,269
Jake let me open for him.

261
00:14:29,303 --> 00:14:30,605
I opened for him a few times.

262
00:14:30,638 --> 00:14:32,039
And... Which was pretty nice

263
00:14:32,072 --> 00:14:33,675
because there wasn't
a lot of people letting us

264
00:14:33,708 --> 00:14:35,242
open for 'em in those days.

265
00:14:35,275 --> 00:14:36,678
- Yes.
- And...

266
00:14:36,711 --> 00:14:40,214
But we hung around together
quite a bit and...

267
00:14:40,247 --> 00:14:42,916
I've... Just somebody
I've felt really close to.

268
00:14:42,950 --> 00:14:44,586
You know, I've missed him.

269
00:14:44,619 --> 00:14:46,621
And, what do you remember
about him?

270
00:14:46,654 --> 00:14:47,988
What do you remember?

271
00:14:48,021 --> 00:14:50,491
What can you tell me
about what was he like?

272
00:14:51,125 --> 00:14:53,060
Jake was...

273
00:14:53,093 --> 00:14:56,096
Even back then, I would say,
he was a little more miserable

274
00:14:56,130 --> 00:14:58,432
than most artists, you know?

275
00:14:58,465 --> 00:14:59,701
But he was a sweet guy.

276
00:14:59,734 --> 00:15:01,969
He always had a...
He had a sweet heart.

277
00:15:02,436 --> 00:15:04,037
And,

278
00:15:04,071 --> 00:15:05,673
an incredible lyricist.

279
00:15:05,707 --> 00:15:07,241
And really,

280
00:15:07,274 --> 00:15:09,176
just a great frontman,
you know?

281
00:15:09,209 --> 00:15:11,513
Really though, my wife actually

282
00:15:11,546 --> 00:15:13,347
<i>knew him better than I did.</i>

283
00:15:13,380 --> 00:15:15,683
<i>'Cause she sang...
Before she sang with the E-Street Band,</i>

284
00:15:15,717 --> 00:15:18,285
<i>she sang backup in Jake's band
for quite a while.</i>

285
00:15:18,318 --> 00:15:21,121
But he just disappeared
like that.

286
00:15:21,155 --> 00:15:23,558
That was one of
the strangest things, you know?

287
00:15:23,591 --> 00:15:25,560
Uh, and the strange...

288
00:15:25,593 --> 00:15:27,327
It was just as he was

289
00:15:28,563 --> 00:15:30,598
becoming really successful.

290
00:15:30,632 --> 00:15:31,999
- Mmm.
- You know?

291
00:15:32,032 --> 00:15:34,736
And, I mean,
it's not for everybody,

292
00:15:34,769 --> 00:15:36,738
but he'd done all the hard work.

293
00:15:36,771 --> 00:15:39,339
- Mm-hmm.
- He had already done the hard work.

294
00:15:39,373 --> 00:15:42,176
And, once he got there,
for some reason,

295
00:15:42,209 --> 00:15:43,678
- he slipped off the map, you know?
- Yeah.

296
00:15:43,711 --> 00:15:45,513
And, I heard it was Paris,

297
00:15:45,547 --> 00:15:47,214
and I heard
he jumped off a bridge.

298
00:15:47,247 --> 00:15:48,482
I don't know
what happened to him.

299
00:15:48,516 --> 00:15:50,350
Yeah, it's really strange.

300
00:15:52,186 --> 00:15:54,522
- Hi, Patti. I'm Meg.
- Hi. Hi, Meg.

301
00:15:54,556 --> 00:15:56,724
I work with Kathy Madison.

302
00:15:56,758 --> 00:15:58,392
I have some questions.

303
00:15:58,425 --> 00:16:02,062
Jake Lion disappeared like that.

304
00:16:02,095 --> 00:16:04,766
Yeah. I hadn't seen him
in a long time,

305
00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:06,967
but, um, I heard that he...

306
00:16:07,836 --> 00:16:10,437
Well, he jumped off a bridge
in Paris.

307
00:16:10,471 --> 00:16:13,407
Um, I wasn't singing with him
at the time.

308
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,409
I had left the band, The Words,

309
00:16:15,442 --> 00:16:17,010
way before that.

310
00:16:17,044 --> 00:16:19,246
So you were not there
when he jumped into the river.

311
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:20,682
No.

312
00:16:20,715 --> 00:16:23,585
And when was the last time
you saw him?

313
00:16:23,618 --> 00:16:26,420
The last time I saw him,
he was happy.

314
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,557
I think it was more of his...

315
00:16:29,591 --> 00:16:30,792
He didn't like
what came along with it.

316
00:16:30,825 --> 00:16:32,794
Like fame. I think fame felt

317
00:16:32,827 --> 00:16:35,797
very disruptive to him,

318
00:16:35,830 --> 00:16:37,599
and made him go really inward.

319
00:16:37,632 --> 00:16:39,801
But, if we were touring
and on the bus with him,

320
00:16:39,834 --> 00:16:42,804
he'd playing and singing
and having the greatest time.

321
00:16:42,837 --> 00:16:44,037
Yes.

322
00:16:44,071 --> 00:16:45,673
But I heard, mm,

323
00:16:45,707 --> 00:16:48,408
and I saw
in an interview of Jake,

324
00:16:48,442 --> 00:16:51,245
and he said it was easier
for him to confront a failure

325
00:16:51,278 --> 00:16:52,747
than to deal with success.

326
00:16:52,780 --> 00:16:54,381
What do you think about that?

327
00:16:54,414 --> 00:16:56,584
- It's...
- It's complicated,

328
00:16:56,618 --> 00:17:00,254
but I... I do think
music was very natural to him

329
00:17:00,287 --> 00:17:03,056
and that was his safe spot.
His own music.

330
00:17:03,090 --> 00:17:04,659
But, doing it in public,

331
00:17:04,692 --> 00:17:08,328
and then, having the public
be part of that equation,

332
00:17:08,362 --> 00:17:09,363
felt...

333
00:17:09,396 --> 00:17:12,065
I think it just never felt
comfortable to him.

334
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:14,468
He was just never
really comfortable with it.

335
00:17:14,502 --> 00:17:17,572
Whatever the wolf
at the door was for him,

336
00:17:17,605 --> 00:17:21,341
it seemed to exist
when he was with his audience.

337
00:17:21,375 --> 00:17:22,744
- He was just...
- Yeah, right?

338
00:17:22,777 --> 00:17:25,279
He was just more private
than most, you know,

339
00:17:25,312 --> 00:17:26,814
for, considering...

340
00:17:26,848 --> 00:17:29,349
for a job where you're...

341
00:17:29,383 --> 00:17:32,486
putting yourself out in public
on a daily basis.

342
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,890
But why do you think he
could have committed suicide?

343
00:17:35,924 --> 00:17:38,425
For me, I mean,
I have my struggles with it.

344
00:17:38,458 --> 00:17:42,797
You know? And most musicians
or artists do.

345
00:17:42,830 --> 00:17:45,232
But at the same time,
I was determined, you know?

346
00:17:45,265 --> 00:17:48,402
I felt our band was good enough
that we deserved an audience.

347
00:17:48,937 --> 00:17:50,103
And...

348
00:17:51,639 --> 00:17:54,274
So, I just... I followed...

349
00:17:54,308 --> 00:17:55,610
I followed that path.

350
00:17:55,643 --> 00:17:57,377
And I just think
it was a lot easier for me

351
00:17:57,411 --> 00:17:58,880
than it was for Jake.

352
00:17:58,913 --> 00:18:01,816
You know, for some reason,

353
00:18:01,849 --> 00:18:03,618
Jake's, whatever his
inner demons were,

354
00:18:03,651 --> 00:18:05,285
or whatever
you want to call them,

355
00:18:05,319 --> 00:18:08,856
he was a lot more ambivalent

356
00:18:08,890 --> 00:18:10,625
about the kind of success

Nice to hear from you.

393
00:21:16,376 --> 00:21:18,713
I guess Kathy Madison
got in touch?

394
00:21:18,746 --> 00:21:19,781
<i>Yes, she did.</i>

395
00:21:19,814 --> 00:21:21,816
<i>Pretty wild idea,
if you ask me.</i>

396
00:21:21,849 --> 00:21:24,384
<i>Probably a waste
of Kathy Madison's money.</i>

397
00:21:24,417 --> 00:21:25,853
<i>Although, I guess
she can afford it.</i>

398
00:21:27,487 --> 00:21:29,389
So, I take it you don't think

399
00:21:29,422 --> 00:21:31,893
Jake Lion could
actually be alive and well

400
00:21:31,926 --> 00:21:33,493
and living in Paris?

401
00:21:33,528 --> 00:21:35,328
<i>Isn't that what they said
about Jacques Brel?</i>

402
00:21:36,463 --> 00:21:37,999
<i>Are you free for dinner?</i>

403
00:21:38,032 --> 00:21:39,667
<i>I'll tell you
exactly what I think</i>

404
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:40,701
<i>and what I know.</i>

405
00:21:42,069 --> 00:21:43,070
<i>Hmm.</i>

406
00:21:50,912 --> 00:21:52,445
So, you're English.

407
00:21:52,479 --> 00:21:54,682
Correct! What gave me away,
the accent?

408
00:21:54,715 --> 00:21:57,484
I've been here so long,
I thought I sounded French.

409
00:21:58,085 --> 00:21:59,554
So, why Paris?

410
00:21:59,587 --> 00:22:01,923
Wine, women,
and song, I guess.

411
00:22:02,523 --> 00:22:03,691
Come on.

412
00:22:03,724 --> 00:22:05,927
I was working
for a label in London,

413
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,462
and they needed someone in the
international department who spoke English.

414
00:22:09,496 --> 00:22:12,800
So, in Paris, <i>je suis
Anglais, je parle Anglais.</i>

415
00:22:12,834 --> 00:22:13,868
Been here ever since.

416
00:22:13,901 --> 00:22:15,536
And you worked with Jake Lion.

417
00:22:15,570 --> 00:22:18,539
I was supposed to be
his liaison here in Paris.

418
00:22:18,573 --> 00:22:20,608
Make sure he didn't
get into too much trouble.

419
00:22:21,742 --> 00:22:23,845
And he threw himself
into a river?

420
00:22:23,878 --> 00:22:25,012
I hate to say it,

421
00:22:25,046 --> 00:22:26,714
but you didn't do
too good a job.

422
00:22:26,747 --> 00:22:28,481
You think so?
I fucked up, did I?

423
00:22:28,516 --> 00:22:29,750
Yeah, maybe not.

424
00:22:29,784 --> 00:22:31,986
But there were lots of other
people there when he did it.

425
00:22:32,019 --> 00:22:33,754
- And you weren't there.
- No. Not at that moment.

426
00:22:33,788 --> 00:22:36,057
So I don't really know
what happened.

427
00:22:36,090 --> 00:22:38,960
I'm asking because there still
seems to be some questions

428
00:22:38,993 --> 00:22:41,494
about whether his body
was even found or not.

429
00:22:41,529 --> 00:22:43,197
The answer is yes and no.

430
00:22:43,231 --> 00:22:45,199
What do you mean?

431
00:22:45,233 --> 00:22:47,201
It's not really
a dinner conversation.

432
00:22:47,235 --> 00:22:48,736
I've got a strong stomach.

433
00:22:48,769 --> 00:22:49,770
Come on.

434
00:22:50,238 --> 00:22:51,772
Okay.

435
00:22:51,806 --> 00:22:54,609
So, a corpse
bobs to the surface

436
00:22:54,642 --> 00:22:57,612
about a year later,
in terrible condition.

437
00:22:57,645 --> 00:23:01,115
Eyes gone, nose gone.
You don't want to know.

438
00:23:01,148 --> 00:23:04,451
There's more bodies floating in
the Seine than you would imagine.

439
00:23:04,484 --> 00:23:05,452
Suicides?

440
00:23:05,485 --> 00:23:08,589
Yeah. For lonely people,
the river is a friend.

441
00:23:08,623 --> 00:23:11,491
So, how did this particular body
become Jake Lion?

442
00:23:11,525 --> 00:23:12,593
Simple, really.

443
00:23:12,627 --> 00:23:16,564
Someone at that morgue
had to identify the corpse.

444
00:23:16,597 --> 00:23:19,033
Jake Lion's name
was among the missing.

445
00:23:19,066 --> 00:23:21,802
<i>Voila!</i> Case closed.

446
00:23:21,836 --> 00:23:24,071
And that's the body buried
at Pere-Lachaise?

447
00:23:24,105 --> 00:23:25,239
<i>Exactement.</i>

448
00:23:25,273 --> 00:23:27,108
But apparently,
he had a brother

449
00:23:27,141 --> 00:23:30,111
who came over
to identify the body, right?

450
00:23:30,144 --> 00:23:33,514
Yeah. I think the record company
had something to do with that,

451
00:23:33,547 --> 00:23:34,949
but I don't know the details.

452
00:23:34,982 --> 00:23:37,151
It was above my paygrade.

453
00:23:37,184 --> 00:23:38,886
The record company?

454
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,489
Yeah. Jake Lion dead meant
lots of records could be sold.

455
00:23:42,523 --> 00:23:43,958
Jake Lion just missing?

456
00:23:44,659 --> 00:23:46,027
Meant nothing.

457
00:23:46,060 --> 00:23:48,262
And the record label, the company
I was working for here in Paris,

458
00:23:48,296 --> 00:23:49,764
they paid for the burial

459
00:23:49,797 --> 00:23:51,766
and they gave Jake's brother,
who is broke,

460
00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:54,902
quite a lot of money
to sign off on the royalties.

461
00:23:54,936 --> 00:23:56,570
Win-win situation.

462
00:23:56,604 --> 00:23:58,839
For everyone but Jake Lion.

463
00:23:58,873 --> 00:24:00,675
But still, nobody understands

464
00:24:00,708 --> 00:24:03,177
why this guy
would take his own life.

465
00:24:03,210 --> 00:24:04,312
Including me.

466
00:24:04,345 --> 00:24:07,581
It wasn't even drugs,
so why do you think he did it?

467
00:24:07,615 --> 00:24:09,183
Honestly, I don't know.

468
00:24:09,216 --> 00:24:10,718
But I do remember

469
00:24:10,751 --> 00:24:12,586
there was an insurance policy.

470
00:24:12,620 --> 00:24:14,956
Our head office
in the USA canceled it

471
00:24:14,989 --> 00:24:16,791
because rumor had it,

472
00:24:16,824 --> 00:24:18,693
Jake had a terminal illness,

473
00:24:18,726 --> 00:24:19,860
was dying,

474
00:24:19,894 --> 00:24:21,862
and his brother
was the beneficiary.

475
00:24:21,896 --> 00:24:23,097
I do remember that.

476
00:24:23,130 --> 00:24:24,865
Be that as it may,

477
00:24:24,899 --> 00:24:28,769
we decided on this side of the
pond, to keep paying the insurance.

478
00:24:28,803 --> 00:24:30,004
But why did you guys do that?

479
00:24:30,037 --> 00:24:32,173
Because Paris
isn't New York, is it?

480
00:24:32,206 --> 00:24:33,541
Speaking of which,

481
00:24:33,574 --> 00:24:36,877
you should let me
show you around Paris.

482
00:24:36,911 --> 00:24:39,280
I hope you take
better care of me

483
00:24:39,313 --> 00:24:40,815
than you did Jake Lion.

484
00:24:40,848 --> 00:24:42,583

I never could believe

502
00:26:12,973 --> 00:26:15,843
that the Phantom
actually lived there.

503
00:26:15,876 --> 00:26:18,946
I think he lives
on Broadway now.

504
00:26:18,979 --> 00:26:22,783
Kathy Madison thinks Jake has
something to do with the Phantom.

505
00:26:22,817 --> 00:26:24,385
Like he is a Phantom?

506
00:26:24,418 --> 00:26:27,021
Like there is a mystery
I have to solve.

507
00:26:27,054 --> 00:26:28,189
Hmm.

508
00:26:30,391 --> 00:26:33,394
If Jake Lion is alive,
the only mystery is

509
00:26:33,427 --> 00:26:35,262
why that bloke
is not in Beverly Hills

510
00:26:35,296 --> 00:26:36,997
hanging out by a swimming pool.

511
00:26:37,031 --> 00:26:39,300
Maybe he didn't want all that.

512
00:26:39,333 --> 00:26:42,436
You're saying a metro
is a cooler place to hang out?

513
00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:45,372
Well, you know,
he came from the military.

514
00:26:45,406 --> 00:26:46,440
What do you mean?

515
00:26:46,474 --> 00:26:48,142
I was googling him last night.

516
00:26:48,175 --> 00:26:50,678
Divorced parents,
father in the army,

517
00:26:50,711 --> 00:26:52,446
a brother somewhere,
messed up.

518
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,783
If you were Jake Lion,
wouldn't you have resurfaced?

519
00:26:55,816 --> 00:26:56,851
Why now?

520
00:26:56,884 --> 00:26:59,186
Take a victory lap,
reap the rewards

521
00:26:59,220 --> 00:27:00,955
instead of playing
in a Paris metro,

522
00:27:00,988 --> 00:27:03,090
if that's where he actually is.

523
00:27:11,232 --> 00:27:14,401
Well, that's better than living
down in the sewer

524
00:27:14,435 --> 00:27:15,302
like the Phantom.

525
00:27:15,336 --> 00:27:18,105
I know where
the Phantom used to live.

526
00:27:18,139 --> 00:27:20,708
Tell me where you used to live.

527
00:27:21,876 --> 00:27:24,178
Believe me, I've been there.

528
00:27:25,246 --> 00:27:27,047
What do you mean?

529
00:27:27,081 --> 00:27:29,383
I kind of lived
in the depths myself.

530
00:27:29,416 --> 00:27:33,721
You see, I lost both
of my parents too soon.

531
00:27:34,221 --> 00:27:35,689
I felt lost, too.

532
00:27:36,423 --> 00:27:38,726
And there was a man

533
00:27:39,460 --> 00:27:41,829
who took me under his wings

534
00:27:42,763 --> 00:27:44,732
and turned my nosedive

535
00:27:44,765 --> 00:27:47,968
into a pretty painful
crash landing,

536
00:27:48,002 --> 00:27:49,170
so to speak.

537
00:27:50,738 --> 00:27:51,939
For that reason,

538
00:27:52,907 --> 00:27:55,743
I need time to feel safe.

539
00:28:02,416 --> 00:28:04,385

545
00:28:21,135 --> 00:28:24,038
I think I should just
go back to New York, Joe.

546
00:28:24,071 --> 00:28:26,073
I've been searching
the metro for days,

547
00:28:26,106 --> 00:28:28,309
but I can't look
in every station.

548
00:28:28,342 --> 00:28:30,778
That would take forever.

549
00:28:30,811 --> 00:28:32,947
<i>Listen, I have
an idea for you.</i>

550
00:28:32,980 --> 00:28:34,448
<i>There's a bar up in Pigalle.</i>

551
00:28:34,481 --> 00:28:36,951
<i>It's where all
the buskers hang out.</i>

552
00:28:36,984 --> 00:28:39,386
<i>Why don't you go up there
and see what you can find out?</i>

553
00:28:40,555 --> 00:28:41,889
You want to tag along?

554
00:28:42,890 --> 00:28:43,891
<i>Not really.</i>

555
00:28:44,992 --> 00:28:47,294
<i>I've got too much work.</i>

556
00:28:47,328 --> 00:28:49,830
<i>And I think you'll do
better up there on your own.</i>

557
00:28:49,863 --> 00:28:51,332
<i>Wear a short skirt.</i>

558
00:28:51,365 --> 00:28:52,967
Fuck you.

559
00:29:13,954 --> 00:29:16,056
Hey, mate, pour me a beer.

560
00:29:17,559 --> 00:29:20,394
Excuse me. Do you play
in the metro?

561
00:29:20,427 --> 00:29:23,163
Sometimes. Today I did.

562
00:29:23,197 --> 00:29:25,399
Not much money there anymore.

563
00:29:25,432 --> 00:29:27,602
Chinese don't go for my music,
I'm afraid.

564
00:29:27,636 --> 00:29:29,504
What kind of music do you play?

565
00:29:29,537 --> 00:29:30,938
Flamenco.

566
00:29:30,971 --> 00:29:33,841
But heavy metal flamenco,
like Morente.

567
00:29:33,874 --> 00:29:35,109
Okay.

568
00:29:35,142 --> 00:29:37,579
I'm looking for a musician
who plays in the metro.

569
00:29:37,612 --> 00:29:38,879
American guy.

570
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,383
Looks like a holdout
from the '70s.

571
00:29:42,416 --> 00:29:44,852
He plays guitar. Long hair.

572
00:29:44,885 --> 00:29:46,186
Sounds like me.

573
00:29:46,220 --> 00:29:47,888
Yeah, something like you.

574
00:29:48,956 --> 00:29:51,458
Well, there is this guy.

575
00:29:51,492 --> 00:29:54,028
I sometimes hear him
at Pere-Lachaise on Fridays.

576
00:29:55,029 --> 00:29:57,231
- What's today?
- Thursday.

577
00:29:57,264 --> 00:29:58,633
Try at around 9:00,

578
00:29:58,667 --> 00:30:00,401
when everyone is going to work.

579
00:30:00,434 --> 00:30:03,404
- That's the best time.
- I will. Thanks a lot.

580
00:30:03,437 --> 00:30:04,838
Save your change,

581
00:30:04,872 --> 00:30:06,373
your beer is on me.

582
00:30:06,407 --> 00:30:07,609
<i>Gracias, guapa.</i>

583
00:30:09,410 --> 00:30:10,844
Tell me,

584
00:30:10,878 --> 00:30:12,479
why are you looking for him?

585
00:30:12,514 --> 00:30:14,516

That's American money, honey.

Maybe you're gonna need that
when you get home.

623
00:33:34,782 --> 00:33:37,251
Sorry, I don't have any euros,

624
00:33:37,284 --> 00:33:40,254
and I suppose you don't take
American Express?

625
00:33:40,287 --> 00:33:42,657
Sure.

626
00:33:42,690 --> 00:33:46,493
Amex, Mastercard, Visa.

627
00:33:46,528 --> 00:33:49,062
You give me the card,
I'll take it with me.

628
00:33:49,764 --> 00:33:51,465
Can I talk to you
for a moment?

629
00:33:52,232 --> 00:33:53,601
I don't know.

630
00:33:53,635 --> 00:33:55,102
I'm kind of busy now,

631
00:33:55,135 --> 00:33:56,804
can't you see?

632
00:33:56,838 --> 00:33:58,806
Can't leave
the store unattended.

633
00:34:00,340 --> 00:34:02,409
So, can I offer you a drink?

634
00:34:03,611 --> 00:34:05,078
I already have a drink.

635
00:34:06,714 --> 00:34:08,550
You want some?

636
00:34:08,583 --> 00:34:12,119
But I'd really like to ask you
a few questions.

637
00:34:12,152 --> 00:34:13,153
Yeah?

638
00:34:14,288 --> 00:34:15,557
Questions about what?

639
00:34:16,490 --> 00:34:18,225
About the old times,

640
00:34:19,226 --> 00:34:21,261
Jake.

641
00:34:21,295 --> 00:34:25,232
I don't know what old times
you might be referring to,

642
00:34:25,265 --> 00:34:29,637
and my name
is not Jake either.

643
00:34:29,671 --> 00:34:33,340
So why don't you just get on,
move along,

644
00:34:33,373 --> 00:34:35,475
and go visit
Jim Morrison's grave

645
00:34:35,510 --> 00:34:37,512
with the rest of the tourists?

646
00:34:38,046 --> 00:34:39,581
I am not a tourist,

647
00:34:39,614 --> 00:34:40,815
I'm a journalist.

648
00:34:40,848 --> 00:34:43,718
And I'm here to write a story.

649
00:34:43,751 --> 00:34:46,554
I don't care who you are
or what you do.

650
00:34:46,588 --> 00:34:48,790
And I suppose you're
just one more American

651
00:34:48,823 --> 00:34:51,726
poking her nose
into other people's business.

652
00:34:51,759 --> 00:34:53,493
Now, if you want
to buy me a drink,

653
00:34:54,194 --> 00:34:56,898
I might accept your hospitality.

654
00:34:56,931 --> 00:34:59,901
But if you call me
Jake again,

655
00:34:59,934 --> 00:35:03,638
I might slit
your pretty little throat.

656
00:35:03,671 --> 00:35:06,106
I don't have a lot to lose
at this point.

657
00:35:06,641 --> 00:35:07,875
You got a temper.

658
00:35:08,910 --> 00:35:11,345
- Sometimes.
- Okay.

659
00:35:11,378 --> 00:35:13,615
I'm sorry if I offended you.

660
00:35:13,648 --> 00:35:15,182
Let's start over.

661
00:35:15,215 --> 00:35:16,751
I'm Meg Trudeau,

662
00:35:16,784 --> 00:35:19,821
and I write
for <i>Rolling Stone</i> magazine.

663
00:35:19,854 --> 00:35:22,924
And I think you have a great
voice, whoever you are.

664
00:35:23,490 --> 00:35:25,526
A real music lover, eh?

665
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,494
Yes, I like music,

666
00:35:27,528 --> 00:35:29,262
and I write about music,

667
00:35:29,296 --> 00:35:31,298
especially your kind of music.

668
00:35:31,331 --> 00:35:34,636
Hold on, you've got some kind
of a French accent.

669
00:35:34,669 --> 00:35:36,470
Are you bullshitting me?

670
00:35:36,504 --> 00:35:38,740
Not at all. I am French.

671
00:35:38,773 --> 00:35:41,542
But I work in New York,
I live in New York.

672
00:35:41,576 --> 00:35:43,945
In fact, I wish I was
in New York now.

673
00:35:44,779 --> 00:35:46,581
Well, then I'd say

674
00:35:46,614 --> 00:35:49,349
you're some kind of mixed up,
shook up girl.

675
00:35:49,383 --> 00:35:51,552
Sounds like
the title of a song.

676
00:35:51,586 --> 00:35:53,788
It is. Willy DeVille.

677
00:35:53,821 --> 00:35:56,624
- Dead now.
- Should have known.

678
00:35:56,658 --> 00:35:58,626
You said something
about buying me a drink?

679
00:35:58,660 --> 00:35:59,661
Mm-hmm.

680
00:36:00,494 --> 00:36:01,495
Let's go.

681
00:36:02,730 --> 00:36:03,731
I got it.

682
00:36:45,907 --> 00:36:46,908
What do you want?

683
00:37:01,989 --> 00:37:03,024
Okay.

684
00:37:04,759 --> 00:37:06,627
No, only for today.

685
00:37:13,467 --> 00:37:14,602
Do you know Jake Lion?

686
00:37:15,737 --> 00:37:16,771
I know he's dead.

687
00:37:17,471 --> 00:37:18,906
Buried over there.

688
00:37:18,940 --> 00:37:21,542
Next to his buddy, Jim Morrison.

689
00:37:21,576 --> 00:37:22,442
Like I said,

690
00:37:22,476 --> 00:37:24,979
you can go pay him a visit
if you want.

691
00:37:25,012 --> 00:37:27,882
I'm sure he'd be thrilled
if you sit on his...

692
00:37:27,915 --> 00:37:29,483
grave.

693
00:37:29,517 --> 00:37:31,586
He threw himself into the
Seine, didn't he?

694
00:37:32,319 --> 00:37:33,688
That's right.

695
00:37:33,721 --> 00:37:35,288
But they didn't bring him
to Pere-Lachaise

696
00:37:35,322 --> 00:37:36,924
until a year later.

697
00:37:36,958 --> 00:37:40,293
The river takes its time
burping up its dead.

698
00:37:50,037 --> 00:37:51,906
So,
you seem to know a lot about him.

699
00:37:51,939 --> 00:37:54,642
Jesus Christ!
You almost stabbed me

700
00:37:54,675 --> 00:37:56,376
when I mentioned his name.

701
00:37:56,409 --> 00:37:58,411
I don't like being disturbed
when I'm working.

702
00:37:59,346 --> 00:38:01,549
And there's something else.

703
00:38:01,582 --> 00:38:04,919
Jake Lion, he was my brother.

704
00:38:04,952 --> 00:38:08,388
So, you are the brother
the record company paid off?

705
00:38:08,421 --> 00:38:11,391
I'm the only brother
Jake Lion ever had.

706
00:38:11,424 --> 00:38:14,494
And I drank that money away
a long time ago.

707
00:38:14,996 --> 00:38:17,832
I'm Erik Lion.

708
00:38:17,865 --> 00:38:20,635
- So, what are you doing here?
- What do you think?

709
00:38:20,668 --> 00:38:22,870
Playing my guitar in the metro.

710
00:38:22,904 --> 00:38:25,907
You're not too observant for a journalist, are you?

711
00:38:25,940 --> 00:38:27,975
I've been living in Paris
for 40 years.

712
00:38:28,709 --> 00:38:29,911
Came over

713
00:38:29,944 --> 00:38:32,479
when they finally found
Jake's body.

714
00:38:32,513 --> 00:38:34,414
Someone had to identify it.

715
00:38:34,447 --> 00:38:36,717
And that someone was me,

716
00:38:36,751 --> 00:38:38,786
his brother, Erik.

717
00:38:38,820 --> 00:38:39,821
Got it?

718
00:38:40,688 --> 00:38:41,923
Oh, shit.

719
00:38:41,956 --> 00:38:44,525
This is not going to go
down well at <i>Rolling Stone.</i>

720
00:38:44,559 --> 00:38:46,761
Kathy won't be happy at all.

721
00:38:46,794 --> 00:38:49,362
- Kathy Madison?
- You knew her?

722
00:38:49,396 --> 00:38:51,532
Not me.

723
00:38:51,566 --> 00:38:54,902
But I knew that her and Jake were
more than friends at some point.

724
00:38:54,936 --> 00:38:56,103
Mind you, personally,

725
00:38:56,137 --> 00:38:57,805
I never went
for those rich chicks

726
00:38:57,839 --> 00:38:59,707
pretending to be hippies.

727
00:38:59,740 --> 00:39:02,610
Used to call them
"Trust fund babes."

728
00:39:02,643 --> 00:39:05,646
Funny that Kathy never told me
Jake's brother is alive.

729
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,616
Or maybe I've been dead
a long time too,

730
00:39:08,649 --> 00:39:10,618
'cause no one has heard
from me in years.

731
00:39:11,586 --> 00:39:12,954
I'm like a ghost.

732
00:39:24,198 --> 00:39:26,000
Like the Phantom of the Opera?

733
00:39:27,535 --> 00:39:28,936
Yeah.

734
00:39:28,970 --> 00:39:31,072
Like that guy who put on a mask,

735
00:39:31,105 --> 00:39:32,405
hid from the world,

736
00:39:33,207 --> 00:39:35,076
because he was so fucking ugly

737
00:39:36,244 --> 00:39:37,545
and deformed.

738
00:39:38,579 --> 00:39:39,914
He was a genius

739
00:39:40,681 --> 00:39:42,049
but nobody cared.

740
00:39:43,784 --> 00:39:45,418
And Kathy Madison,

741
00:39:45,452 --> 00:39:47,021
the rock 'n roll heiress,

742
00:39:47,054 --> 00:39:50,057
has sent you here
to find Jake Lion.

743
00:39:50,091 --> 00:39:51,993
What, does she still got
a thing for him?

744
00:39:52,026 --> 00:39:53,694
Or is it just, uh...

745
00:39:53,728 --> 00:39:56,831
necrophilia or some shit?

746
00:39:56,864 --> 00:39:58,900
Someone told us he was alive

747
00:39:58,933 --> 00:40:01,736
and he saw him here, in Paris,

748
00:40:01,769 --> 00:40:03,504
but it might be you
that he saw.

749
00:40:04,739 --> 00:40:06,807
Who told you that crap?

750
00:40:07,942 --> 00:40:09,810
A guy called Plynth.

751
00:40:09,844 --> 00:40:12,146
Apparently, he was a roadie
for The Words.

752
00:40:13,648 --> 00:40:17,885
Plynth the Persian,
Jake's nanny.

753
00:40:17,919 --> 00:40:21,789
He told us that he heard you
singing a song of Jake

754
00:40:21,822 --> 00:40:23,791
that had never been recorded.

755
00:40:23,824 --> 00:40:27,228
In fact, something he wrote
shortly before he died.

756
00:40:28,195 --> 00:40:29,397
Okay.

757
00:40:29,429 --> 00:40:32,233
Now, I'm going to tell you
something very few people know.

758
00:40:32,266 --> 00:40:36,237
It was me who taught Jake
how to write songs,

759
00:40:36,270 --> 00:40:37,705
how to write lyrics,

760
00:40:37,738 --> 00:40:40,508
how to put them with the
chords, all of that shit.

761
00:40:40,541 --> 00:40:43,077
In fact, most of those
The Words songs

762
00:40:43,110 --> 00:40:45,646
were co-composed by both of us.

763
00:40:47,782 --> 00:40:50,584
I knew those songs
better than anybody.

764
00:40:51,118 --> 00:40:52,620
And, in fact,

765
00:40:52,653 --> 00:40:54,522
years after I left the band,

766
00:40:54,555 --> 00:40:57,525
and before Jake killed himself,

767
00:40:57,558 --> 00:41:00,094
he would send me cassettes
of those new songs

768
00:41:01,729 --> 00:41:03,798
to approve or improve.

769
00:41:03,831 --> 00:41:05,800
Don't I have a right
to sing them?

770
00:41:05,833 --> 00:41:09,770
Looks like you
just blew my Pulitzer Prize.

771
00:41:10,671 --> 00:41:11,672
Sorry.

772
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,109
Hey, Max, <i>la note.</i>

773
00:41:16,577 --> 00:41:17,979
So, what now?

774
00:41:19,347 --> 00:41:21,515
I got an idea.

775
00:41:21,549 --> 00:41:25,186
How about the story of Jake Lion
told by his brother?

776
00:41:25,219 --> 00:41:27,688
That wouldn't be
too bad an angle either.

777
00:41:30,257 --> 00:41:34,061
Why the fuck
would I want to do that?

778
00:41:35,696 --> 00:41:38,299
Let his poor soul
rest in peace.

779
00:41:39,633 --> 00:41:41,102
Isn't that what he wanted?

780
00:41:41,135 --> 00:41:42,169
Look,

781
00:41:42,203 --> 00:41:45,973
everybody thinks Jake
went crazy for no reason.

782
00:41:46,007 --> 00:41:49,043
Maybe you could throw
a light on that.

783
00:41:49,076 --> 00:41:51,812
Like a fresh insight
on an old story.

784
00:41:52,947 --> 00:41:56,150
There's nothing fresh
about a dead man.

785
00:41:58,052 --> 00:42:01,188
I'm willing to pay you
for your time.

786
00:42:01,222 --> 00:42:03,991
But that's an insight
that could interest me.

787
00:42:05,026 --> 00:42:06,894
How long are you
going to be here?

788
00:42:06,927 --> 00:42:08,029
Three more days.

789
00:42:08,662 --> 00:42:09,663
Okay.

790
00:42:10,598 --> 00:42:12,166
Here's the deal.

791
00:42:12,199 --> 00:42:14,268
You got three appointments

792
00:42:14,301 --> 00:42:17,004
at the place and the time

793
00:42:17,038 --> 00:42:18,039
I say.

794
00:42:20,908 --> 00:42:22,676
But what you gotta do now...

795
00:42:24,645 --> 00:42:25,713
Alright.

796
00:42:38,325 --> 00:42:40,594
By the way,
do you live near here?

797
00:42:41,162 --> 00:42:42,663
A place I could visit?

798
00:42:43,097 --> 00:42:45,199
No way.

799
00:42:45,232 --> 00:42:48,135
Where I live has got
nothing to do with Jake Lion.

800
00:42:48,169 --> 00:42:50,037
And the last thing I need

801
00:42:50,071 --> 00:42:53,908
is Kathy Madison
knocking on my door.

802
00:42:53,941 --> 00:42:57,378
I was hoping you'd say
that you lived in the cemetery.

803
00:42:57,411 --> 00:42:59,680
Another good angle
for the story.

804
00:43:01,015 --> 00:43:02,349
Brilliant angle.

805
00:43:03,751 --> 00:43:04,752
I gotta go.

806
00:43:05,820 --> 00:43:07,822
What did you say
your name was, again?

807
00:43:07,855 --> 00:43:09,256
Meg Trudeau.

808
00:43:10,191 --> 00:43:12,093
Okay, Meg Trudeau,

809
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,261
I'll see you tomorrow.

810
00:43:14,862 --> 00:43:16,363
Notre-Dame.

811
00:43:16,397 --> 00:43:18,632
In the garden, in the back.

812
00:43:18,666 --> 00:43:20,167
Five o'clock, sharp.

813
00:43:20,835 --> 00:43:22,002
Don't be late.

814
00:43:22,036 --> 00:43:23,637
Don't bring anyone.

815
00:43:24,071 --> 00:43:25,806
And no photos

816
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,141
or I'm gone.

817
00:43:29,343 --> 00:43:31,112
Just one question
before you go.

818
00:43:33,147 --> 00:43:35,349
Come on,
I gave you an advance.

819
00:43:39,253 --> 00:43:40,821
What happened to your legs?

820
00:43:42,356 --> 00:43:43,657
My legs?

821
00:43:44,825 --> 00:43:47,228
I guess I missed my polio shot.

822
00:44:16,190 --> 00:44:17,758
And you believe him?

823
00:44:17,791 --> 00:44:20,060
I mean, I believe
he's not Jake Lion.

824
00:44:20,094 --> 00:44:22,229
This guy's not a rock star,
he never was.

825
00:44:22,263 --> 00:44:25,032
He is just playing
for change in the metro.

826
00:44:25,065 --> 00:44:27,234
But he could be Jake's brother.

827
00:44:27,268 --> 00:44:29,203
The story kind of makes sense.

828
00:44:29,236 --> 00:44:30,371
That's not what I mean.

829
00:44:30,404 --> 00:44:32,439
I mean, how do you know
he's not just some guy

830
00:44:32,473 --> 00:44:34,441
playing the guitar
in the metro,

831
00:44:34,475 --> 00:44:37,811
nothing to do with Jake Lion
or his brother? Just a nobody.

832
00:44:37,845 --> 00:44:39,146
I don't think he is a nobody.

833
00:44:39,180 --> 00:44:41,248
I think he is somebody
with a story to tell.

834
00:44:41,282 --> 00:44:42,716
Are you sure?

835
00:44:42,750 --> 00:44:45,052
I'm not. But actually,
you knew him.

836
00:44:45,085 --> 00:44:47,354
You should come along
with me next time.

837
00:44:47,388 --> 00:44:49,056
No excuses.

838
00:44:55,329 --> 00:44:59,099

862
00:46:51,613 --> 00:46:53,047
You frightened me.

863
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,381
I've been waiting an hour.

864
00:46:54,915 --> 00:46:56,350
I've always been here.

865
00:46:56,383 --> 00:46:58,952
I tried to blend in
with the gargoyles,

866
00:46:59,887 --> 00:47:01,322
on top of the church.

867
00:47:01,355 --> 00:47:04,358
- Do you mind if I record our conversation?
- Oh, no.

868
00:47:04,391 --> 00:47:06,093
- No way.
- Why not?

869
00:47:07,394 --> 00:47:08,596
Liabilities.

870
00:47:08,630 --> 00:47:10,097
Liabilities of what?

871
00:47:10,898 --> 00:47:13,367
Claims, lawsuits.

872
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,303
You know,
sometimes I drink too much.

873
00:47:16,337 --> 00:47:17,471
Really?

874
00:47:18,072 --> 00:47:20,274
You could have fooled me.

875
00:47:21,175 --> 00:47:25,245
And I might say something
I shouldn't say.

876
00:47:25,279 --> 00:47:28,248
And if that goes down
on a tape recorder...

877
00:47:29,917 --> 00:47:32,319
You remember what happened
to President Nixon.

878
00:47:32,353 --> 00:47:33,555
What happened to Nixon?

879
00:47:35,322 --> 00:47:36,924
No. Nothing.

880
00:47:36,957 --> 00:47:40,194
Okay. I'll try to get down
everything you say

881
00:47:40,227 --> 00:47:42,062
as accurately I can.

882
00:47:42,597 --> 00:47:45,332
I hope I can at least

883
00:47:46,133 --> 00:47:48,369
take some notes?

884
00:47:48,402 --> 00:47:50,904
Yeah, as long
as there is no microphone

885
00:47:50,938 --> 00:47:52,239
hidden in your pen.

886
00:47:52,272 --> 00:47:54,609
One, two, three.

887
00:47:56,076 --> 00:47:57,277
So,

888
00:47:57,311 --> 00:47:59,179
what did Jake look like

889
00:47:59,213 --> 00:48:02,116
when you went
to identify his body?

890
00:48:02,149 --> 00:48:03,217
Hmm.

891
00:48:04,184 --> 00:48:05,486
Nice first question.

892
00:48:07,555 --> 00:48:11,959
Well, let's just say that
being underwater for a year

893
00:48:11,992 --> 00:48:14,161
didn't do much
for his complexion.

894
00:48:16,296 --> 00:48:18,332
<i>Not much was left of his face.</i>

895
00:48:18,365 --> 00:48:20,334
<i>But he broke his arm
when we were kids,</i>

896
00:48:20,367 --> 00:48:21,603
<i>fell from a tree.</i>

897
00:48:21,636 --> 00:48:23,904
<i>And I could still see
the scar there.</i>

898
00:48:24,606 --> 00:48:26,206
<i>So, that kind of nailed it,</i>

899
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:28,375
<i>and I signed off
on some bullshit papers,</i>

900
00:48:28,409 --> 00:48:31,178
<i>put his body in my backpack,
and walked out.</i>

901
00:48:31,211 --> 00:48:32,312
<i>Really?</i>

902
00:48:32,346 --> 00:48:34,649
<i>No. Jesus Christ.</i>

903
00:48:35,617 --> 00:48:38,185
<i>We buried him in Pere-Lachaise</i>

904
00:48:38,218 --> 00:48:41,523
'cause his friend said
he liked to hang out there.

905
00:48:41,556 --> 00:48:43,625
I think the record company
pulled some strings

906
00:48:43,658 --> 00:48:44,793
to get him in there.

907
00:48:44,826 --> 00:48:48,262
And when that was all done,
you just stayed in Paris?

908
00:48:48,295 --> 00:48:52,266
Because there was no reason
to go home again.

909
00:48:52,299 --> 00:48:54,569
The United States
is not the best place

910
00:48:55,436 --> 00:48:57,971
for a disabled person.

911
00:48:58,005 --> 00:49:01,141
If you're not Superman,
you're kind of screwed.

912
00:49:01,709 --> 00:49:03,745
I inherited his guitar,

913
00:49:05,547 --> 00:49:08,750
and the record company gave me
some cash to keep me quiet.

914
00:49:08,783 --> 00:49:10,184
Quiet about what?

915
00:49:10,217 --> 00:49:12,453
Oh, I mean, I signed off
on his royalties,

916
00:49:12,486 --> 00:49:14,354
promised not to
bother them anymore.

917
00:49:15,222 --> 00:49:17,291
And Paris became your home.

918
00:49:18,827 --> 00:49:20,227
A home

919
00:49:21,495 --> 00:49:24,064
implies some kind of stability,

920
00:49:24,699 --> 00:49:26,033
so I wouldn't say that.

921
00:49:27,434 --> 00:49:29,336
Come on, let's take a walk.

922
00:49:32,507 --> 00:49:34,441
Do your legs bother you?

923
00:49:34,475 --> 00:49:37,712
No, but sitting next to
this damn church does.

924
00:49:52,493 --> 00:49:54,796
So, what kind of guy was Jake?

925
00:49:56,096 --> 00:49:57,097
Jake?

926
00:49:57,765 --> 00:49:59,199
He didn't say much

927
00:49:59,868 --> 00:50:01,368
even when he was a kid.

928
00:50:03,070 --> 00:50:05,105
But I remember him saying
to me once

929
00:50:05,573 --> 00:50:06,708
that his songs

930
00:50:07,742 --> 00:50:09,677
knew more about him

931
00:50:09,711 --> 00:50:11,846
than he knew about his songs.

932
00:50:13,615 --> 00:50:16,784
For some reason,
I imagined him as a tough guy.

933
00:50:16,818 --> 00:50:19,554
But things got to him
all the same.

934
00:50:19,587 --> 00:50:22,356
I mean, don't things
get to everyone?

935
00:50:23,390 --> 00:50:24,526
You know,

936
00:50:24,559 --> 00:50:26,126
to be a rock star,

937
00:50:26,794 --> 00:50:28,495
you need strong ears

938
00:50:28,963 --> 00:50:30,497
and a thick skin.

939
00:50:31,498 --> 00:50:33,768
But brains, talent...

940
00:50:34,869 --> 00:50:36,236
that's optional.

941
00:50:37,672 --> 00:50:41,375
So, what's so great
about playing in the metro?

942
00:50:42,610 --> 00:50:46,346
What's so great about playing
in Madison Square Garden?

943
00:50:46,380 --> 00:50:48,650
Did you ever play
in Madison Square Garden?

944
00:50:49,817 --> 00:50:51,619
<i>Uh, no. Not me.</i>

945
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:54,622
<i>But I saw Jake play there.</i>

946
00:50:56,758 --> 00:51:00,460
<i>And all he could see
was the first four rows.</i>

947
00:51:00,494 --> 00:51:03,230
And that was full
of music business people.

948
00:51:03,765 --> 00:51:06,433
And he didn't like that.

949
00:51:06,466 --> 00:51:10,103
Well, Jake said that when you
first get into the business,

950
00:51:10,137 --> 00:51:12,540
you know, you're so impressed

951
00:51:12,574 --> 00:51:14,642
by these big shot executives

952
00:51:15,475 --> 00:51:16,544
'cause you think

953
00:51:17,311 --> 00:51:18,880
they control your life.

954
00:51:20,147 --> 00:51:21,381
But then,

955
00:51:21,415 --> 00:51:23,083
one day you realize

956
00:51:23,918 --> 00:51:25,687
you want to play
for the real people.

957
00:51:27,187 --> 00:51:29,791
Are you talking about you
or about Jake now?

958
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:34,494
What's the difference?

959
00:51:38,700 --> 00:51:41,903
There is no music
without business.

960
00:51:41,936 --> 00:51:44,639
Sounds like a typical
loser's philosophy to me.

961
00:51:45,974 --> 00:51:48,141
You know what?

962
00:51:48,175 --> 00:51:50,612
I think you're trying
to provoke me.

963
00:51:51,779 --> 00:51:53,246
That was Jake's thing.

964
00:51:53,781 --> 00:51:55,282
I was never into that.

965
00:51:55,950 --> 00:51:59,654
So, Jake wanted the stardom.

966
00:51:59,687 --> 00:52:03,725
Well, he fell for the glitter
and the gloom like they all do.

967
00:52:06,561 --> 00:52:11,231
But what he couldn't stand
were the inconsistencies.

968
00:52:12,867 --> 00:52:15,603
<i>He told me he'd be onstage</i>

969
00:52:15,637 --> 00:52:18,573
<i>singing for
thousands of people,</i>

970
00:52:18,606 --> 00:52:21,576
<i>and then he'd be back home,
in a hotel,</i>

971
00:52:21,609 --> 00:52:23,945
<i>trying to find something
to watch on TV.</i>

972
00:52:25,747 --> 00:52:28,248
Said he couldn't stop
the screaming

973
00:52:28,750 --> 00:52:29,917
in his ears.

974
00:52:53,708 --> 00:52:56,476
Hey, <i>bonjour,</i> my friend.

975
00:53:13,661 --> 00:53:16,931
Sacred objects.
Gateway to the soul.

976
00:53:18,966 --> 00:53:23,236
Well, you were saying that
the pressure of being a star

977
00:53:23,270 --> 00:53:26,874
or whatever it was
you were describing,

978
00:53:26,908 --> 00:53:29,610
is what drove Jake
to commit suicide.

979
00:53:29,644 --> 00:53:31,946
But, I mean,
if he didn't like it,

980
00:53:31,979 --> 00:53:34,682
why didn't he just retire?

981
00:53:54,936 --> 00:53:58,405
Because
if he had retired,

982
00:53:58,438 --> 00:54:00,541
they never would have
forgiven him.

983
00:54:00,575 --> 00:54:02,543
The press would have
hounded him forever.

984
00:54:03,878 --> 00:54:05,980
But death redeems people.

985
00:54:06,881 --> 00:54:09,050
To die is to be reborn.

986
00:54:09,650 --> 00:54:12,887
Jake Lion is a legend now.

987
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:14,956
And he ain't never
going to grow old.

1001
00:55:37,939 --> 00:55:42,009
You know, had Jake been a
Greek god up on Mount Olympus,

1002
00:55:42,043 --> 00:55:43,644
he would have been fine.

1003
00:55:44,612 --> 00:55:47,582
But if those gods had to
come back to Holiday Inn

1004
00:55:47,615 --> 00:55:50,952
after doing their god-like shit
all day long,

1005
00:55:50,985 --> 00:55:52,887
they would have
committed suicide too.

1006
00:55:55,022 --> 00:55:57,692
You see, they turned Jake
into a god,

1007
00:55:57,725 --> 00:55:59,093
and he was a good god.

1008
00:55:59,994 --> 00:56:01,662
But they didn't tell him

1009
00:56:01,696 --> 00:56:03,064
it's a one way ticket.

1010
00:56:03,865 --> 00:56:05,132
There's no way back.

1011
00:56:05,967 --> 00:56:07,501
The only way back

1012
00:56:07,535 --> 00:56:09,402
was to jump off that bridge.

1013
00:56:09,971 --> 00:56:11,404
So that's what he did.

1014
00:56:12,773 --> 00:56:14,976
Jake jumped off that bridge

1015
00:56:15,009 --> 00:56:16,744
so his legend would live.

1016
00:56:20,014 --> 00:56:21,048
You know what?

1017
00:56:21,082 --> 00:56:24,185
I'm getting tired.
That's all I've got for today.

1018
00:56:24,218 --> 00:56:26,087
I just have a couple
of more questions.

1019
00:56:27,622 --> 00:56:28,756
No.

1020
00:56:28,789 --> 00:56:31,092
No, no, no, no.

1021
00:56:31,125 --> 00:56:33,160
I don't have
a couple more answers.

1022
00:56:34,095 --> 00:56:35,630
I'll see you tomorrow,

1023
00:56:36,597 --> 00:56:37,665
same time.

1024
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,168

<i>♪ Tell me ♪</i>

1045
00:58:03,184 --> 00:58:04,552
Right.

1046
00:58:04,585 --> 00:58:06,187
He says he is the brother.

1047
00:58:06,220 --> 00:58:08,155
He knows about you and Jake.

1048
00:58:08,189 --> 00:58:09,991
<i>Well, he might have
mentioned it a couple of times</i>

1049
00:58:10,024 --> 00:58:12,893
but I don't remember
ever meeting him.

1050
00:58:12,927 --> 00:58:15,963
I thought he'd disappeared
during the Vietnam War.

1051
00:58:15,997 --> 00:58:18,699
<i>Just vanished
or something like that.</i>

1052
00:58:18,733 --> 00:58:22,603
So, what does any of this have
to do with <i>Phantom of the Opera?</i>

1053
00:58:22,636 --> 00:58:24,105
I don't get it.

1054
00:58:24,138 --> 00:58:27,274
I thought it would be
a good way to frame the story.

1055
00:58:27,308 --> 00:58:28,843
But if Jake is dead...

1056
00:58:29,577 --> 00:58:31,645
Seems that way.

1057
00:58:31,679 --> 00:58:34,181
So, I suppose you should be
getting back to New York.

1058
00:58:36,017 --> 00:58:38,319
This trail is going nowhere.

1059
00:58:38,352 --> 00:58:40,221
Give me a few days.

1060
00:58:40,254 --> 00:58:43,591
I've been searching online, and there
are hundreds of photos of Jake Lion,

1061
00:58:43,624 --> 00:58:46,327
but hardly anything
about his brother, Erik,

1062
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,997
aside from he is listed
as a composer along with Jake

1063
00:58:50,031 --> 00:58:52,333
of some of The Words' songs.

1064
00:58:52,366 --> 00:58:53,868
<i>Can't you find out anything?</i>

1065
00:58:54,935 --> 00:58:56,203
Well,

1066
00:58:56,237 --> 00:58:58,072
I'll try,

1067
00:58:58,105 --> 00:59:01,308
but Jake's brother
is not the story we want,

1068
00:59:01,342 --> 00:59:03,978
and it's not the reason
I sent you to Paris either.

1069
00:59:04,011 --> 00:59:07,048
No, you expected me
to find Jake Lion.

1070
00:59:07,982 --> 00:59:09,083
Why not?

1071
00:59:10,785 --> 00:59:12,887
So we beat on,

1072
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,089
boats against the current,

1073
00:59:15,122 --> 00:59:18,092
<i>borne back ceaselessly
into the past.</i>

1074
00:59:18,125 --> 00:59:21,395
If you start quoting
F. Scott Fitzgerald to me,

1075
00:59:21,429 --> 00:59:23,631
I'm going to jump
in the river too.

1076
00:59:26,367 --> 00:59:27,902
<i>♪ Tell me</i>

1077
00:59:27,935 --> 00:59:30,638

<i>♪ Tell me ♪</i>

1089
01:00:33,100 --> 01:00:36,237
I have a meeting this afternoon
with Erik at the Opera.

1090
01:00:36,270 --> 01:00:39,173
It's a good time for you to try
and see if it's really him.

1091
01:00:39,206 --> 01:00:42,910
Okay, I'll play spy.

1092
01:00:42,943 --> 01:00:46,447
And can't we go to the police
to find out the whereabouts

1093
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,015
of this Erik Lion guy?

1094
01:00:48,048 --> 01:00:50,084
I've got a contact there.
I'll see what I can do.

1095
01:00:51,185 --> 01:00:53,220
Thank you, darling.

1096
01:00:53,254 --> 01:00:54,455
You know better than that.

1097
01:01:25,052 --> 01:01:26,787
Look at this place.

1098
01:01:26,820 --> 01:01:28,389
The stories it could tell.

1099
01:01:29,524 --> 01:01:31,526
Like the one about the Phantom.

1100
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:33,727
But I believe
the Phantom of the Opera,

1101
01:01:33,761 --> 01:01:35,296
he was a rocker at heart.

1102
01:01:35,996 --> 01:01:37,898
Of course he was.

1103
01:01:37,932 --> 01:01:40,234
Kind of like Alice Cooper.

1104
01:01:40,267 --> 01:01:43,538
But the Phantom liked to play
in the opera,

1105
01:01:43,572 --> 01:01:45,973
and I like to play
in the metro.

1106
01:01:46,006 --> 01:01:49,176
And what happens if the police
catch you playing down there,

1107
01:01:49,210 --> 01:01:50,878
in the metro without a license?

1108
01:01:51,312 --> 01:01:52,880
Nothing.

1109
01:01:52,913 --> 01:01:55,916
They leave me alone,
<i>Le flic,</i> the cops.

1110
01:01:55,950 --> 01:01:58,852
At first, they used
to throw me out.

1111
01:01:58,886 --> 01:02:02,389
I'd go upstairs, I'd be back
here in five minutes.

1112
01:02:03,457 --> 01:02:05,192
You know, they're music lovers.

1113
01:02:05,226 --> 01:02:07,962
I sing them a song,
they'll leave me alone.

1114
01:02:07,995 --> 01:02:10,231
They only throw you out
if you can't sing.

1115
01:02:11,799 --> 01:02:13,968
But how did you know
I didn't have a license?

1116
01:02:14,001 --> 01:02:16,103
I know you went to Vietnam, too.

1117
01:02:16,136 --> 01:02:17,805
Clever girl.

1118
01:02:17,838 --> 01:02:19,039
Doing your homework.

1119
01:02:20,107 --> 01:02:22,409
Ooh, naughty, too.

1120
01:02:24,311 --> 01:02:25,779
Come with me, quickly.

1121
01:03:03,217 --> 01:03:05,452
Where are you taking me?

1122
01:03:05,486 --> 01:03:07,454
Isn't this
what you wanted to see?

1123
01:03:07,488 --> 01:03:10,090
The home
of the Phantom of the Opera?

1124
01:03:11,425 --> 01:03:14,629
I could tell you about another
monster while we're down here.

1125
01:03:14,663 --> 01:03:15,829
My father.

1126
01:03:16,897 --> 01:03:19,933
- How about that?
- Your father?

1127
01:03:19,967 --> 01:03:24,438
Army lifer guy, retired as
a three-star general.

1128
01:03:24,471 --> 01:03:28,042
Maybe that explains
why Jake was such a rebel.

1129
01:03:28,942 --> 01:03:31,412
That doesn't explain shit!

1130
01:03:31,445 --> 01:03:33,847
You wanna play the shrink
or do you want to listen?

1131
01:03:33,881 --> 01:03:37,051
I'm so sorry. Please, go on.

1132
01:03:37,084 --> 01:03:40,254
Jake and I,
we grew up on Long Island.

1133
01:03:40,287 --> 01:03:43,457
The old man, he was out
in Washington D.C.

1134
01:03:44,391 --> 01:03:47,194
One time, Jake and The Words,

1135
01:03:47,227 --> 01:03:48,395
they were playing a gig there.

1136
01:03:48,429 --> 01:03:50,230
So, Jake decided
to pay him a visit,

1137
01:03:50,264 --> 01:03:51,465
I don't know in hopes of what.

1138
01:03:52,132 --> 01:03:54,001
And you know what happened?

1139
01:03:54,034 --> 01:03:56,103
The old man told him
to get a haircut

1140
01:03:56,136 --> 01:03:58,472
and slammed the door
in his face.

1141
01:04:01,175 --> 01:04:04,211
And yet, you just told me that
your father had no effect on Jake.

1142
01:04:05,079 --> 01:04:07,348
Jake hardly reacted.

1143
01:04:07,381 --> 01:04:09,517
Well, he got into heroin
for a year.

1144
01:04:10,250 --> 01:04:11,251
But finally,

1145
01:04:12,186 --> 01:04:13,287
the old man,

1146
01:04:14,388 --> 01:04:15,657
he just disowned him.

1147
01:04:16,558 --> 01:04:19,527
That was a big inconsistency
for Jake.

1148
01:04:19,561 --> 01:04:20,928
I'm so sorry.

1149
01:04:20,961 --> 01:04:23,897
There's nothing
to be sorry about.

1150
01:04:23,931 --> 01:04:26,300
<i>C'est la vie,
c'est la guerre.</i>

1151
01:04:26,333 --> 01:04:28,503
Wait, let me help you
with your guitar.

1152
01:04:28,536 --> 01:04:29,903
- No, no, no.
- Give it here.

1153
01:04:29,937 --> 01:04:31,338
I got it.

1154
01:04:31,372 --> 01:04:33,107
I got it.

01:06:46,574 --> 01:06:47,675
Let's see.

1183
01:06:52,312 --> 01:06:53,313
No.

1184
01:06:55,249 --> 01:06:57,017
I think, uh...

1185
01:06:59,219 --> 01:07:00,220
No.

1186
01:07:03,558 --> 01:07:04,993
Oh, yeah.

1187
01:07:07,662 --> 01:07:09,496
Will you look at this?

1188
01:07:11,498 --> 01:07:13,100
A smoking jacket.

1189
01:07:13,133 --> 01:07:15,335
Do you need a tuxedo?
What for?

1190
01:07:17,204 --> 01:07:19,339
I got a formal event
coming up.

1191
01:07:40,260 --> 01:07:41,328
So, how do I look?

1192
01:07:43,698 --> 01:07:45,198
You look

1193
01:07:45,232 --> 01:07:46,501
totally absurd.

1194
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,169
No. But I mean in a good way.

1195
01:07:49,202 --> 01:07:50,203
Cool absurd.

1196
01:07:51,573 --> 01:07:53,240
Okay.

1197
01:07:53,273 --> 01:07:54,709
That's the look I'm going for.

1198
01:07:57,277 --> 01:07:58,713
You can pay the gentleman.

1199
01:08:00,180 --> 01:08:01,616
Subtract it from my fee.

1200
01:08:14,963 --> 01:08:16,363
- <i>Merci.</i>
- <i>Merci.</i>

1201
01:08:54,669 --> 01:08:56,738
So, what are we doing here?

1202
01:08:57,905 --> 01:08:59,674
There's going to be a concert.

1203
01:08:59,707 --> 01:09:00,708
For whom?

1204
01:09:01,141 --> 01:09:02,543
For the locals.

1205
01:09:02,577 --> 01:09:04,512
You're joking.

1206
01:09:04,545 --> 01:09:06,279
I never joke about birds.

1207
01:09:07,314 --> 01:09:09,316
They used to be dinosaurs once.

1208
01:09:09,349 --> 01:09:10,350
And?

1209
01:09:11,019 --> 01:09:12,553
You can be in my dream.

1210
01:09:12,587 --> 01:09:14,254
If I can be in yours.

1211
01:09:14,822 --> 01:09:16,758
Bob Dylan.

1212
01:09:16,791 --> 01:09:19,226
Yeah, whatever makes you happy.

1213
01:09:20,528 --> 01:09:22,930
I can be happy in ways
you couldn't imagine.

1214
01:09:22,964 --> 01:09:24,832
For instance?

1215
01:09:24,866 --> 01:09:28,201
Looking over Paris rooftops
at night

1216
01:09:28,235 --> 01:09:30,538
when the city loses
its human dimension

1217
01:09:31,506 --> 01:09:33,407
and everything makes sense.

1218
01:09:39,847 --> 01:09:40,848
<i>Bonjour,</i> Olivier.

1219
01:09:41,683 --> 01:09:42,984
Olivier...

1220
01:09:43,017 --> 01:09:44,652
What did you say
your name was?

1221
01:09:44,686 --> 01:09:46,353
- Meg.
- Meg.

1222
01:09:46,386 --> 01:09:47,955
Meg, Olivier.

1223
01:09:47,989 --> 01:09:49,256
<i>Enchante.</i>

1224
01:09:54,696 --> 01:09:56,430
Come on, let's get started.

1225
01:09:56,463 --> 01:09:58,599
The natives
are growing restless.

1226
01:09:58,633 --> 01:10:01,301
I think most of your public
are sleeping.

1227
01:10:01,903 --> 01:10:03,470
Even better.

1228
01:10:03,504 --> 01:10:05,305
Then I got nothing to lose.

1229
01:10:07,842 --> 01:10:11,713
Young lady, I reserve
my private booth for you.

1230
01:10:12,279 --> 01:10:14,015
It's booth number nine.

1231
01:10:14,048 --> 01:10:15,850
<i>Merci beaucoup, monsieur.</i>

1232
01:10:15,883 --> 01:10:18,251
I wish you a big success.

1233
01:10:18,285 --> 01:10:20,454
Huh. Success.

1234
01:10:20,487 --> 01:10:24,926
Had the Phantom of the Opera
stayed with his lover, Christine,

1235
01:10:24,959 --> 01:10:27,461
now that's what
I'd call a success.

1286
01:14:25,032 --> 01:14:26,801
Oh, Jake,

1287
01:14:26,834 --> 01:14:30,004
you really put yourself through
a hard time, didn't you?

1288
01:15:01,635 --> 01:15:02,903
What happened yesterday?

1289
01:15:02,937 --> 01:15:04,672
You just disappeared.

1290
01:15:04,705 --> 01:15:06,007
I think he knew I was there,

1291
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:08,809
and all of a sudden,
I lost trace of both of you.

1292
01:15:08,843 --> 01:15:11,012
He dragged me into the sewers.

1293
01:15:11,045 --> 01:15:14,115
He seemed to know his way
in that labyrinth.

1294
01:15:14,148 --> 01:15:15,950
Remember, the Phantom
of the Opera

1295
01:15:15,983 --> 01:15:19,253
was also called
the trap-door master.

1296
01:15:19,286 --> 01:15:22,089
I think that's his role-model.

1297
01:15:22,123 --> 01:15:25,559
He has probably been avoiding
people for a long time.

1298
01:15:25,593 --> 01:15:27,795
I bet he is not here legally,
whoever he is.

1299
01:15:28,963 --> 01:15:30,731
Did you recognize him?

1300
01:15:30,765 --> 01:15:33,701
Could have been Jake or anybody.

1301
01:15:36,037 --> 01:15:39,140
I took this photo yesterday
when he was not looking.

1302
01:15:39,173 --> 01:15:42,977
It shows. I can't tell if this is
Jake Lion from that lousy photograph.

1303
01:15:44,111 --> 01:15:46,180
My last meeting with him
is today,

1304
01:15:46,213 --> 01:15:50,217
and really, I don't have much things
to bring back to <i>Rolling Stone.</i>

1305
01:15:50,251 --> 01:15:51,952
It's a long story.

1306
01:15:51,986 --> 01:15:55,723
Yes, it's not easy to get to
know someone in two days, is it?

1307
01:15:55,756 --> 01:15:57,691
No, it isn't.

1308
01:15:57,725 --> 01:15:59,326
But, as a journalist,

1309
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:02,730
I can usually find out what
makes people tick very quickly.

1310
01:16:03,697 --> 01:16:05,699
One interview is enough.

1311
01:16:05,733 --> 01:16:10,204
So, what is this Erik Lion guy
actually like?

1312
01:16:10,237 --> 01:16:13,941
I don't know. In fact,
I know very little about him.

1313
01:16:13,974 --> 01:16:17,945
I only know what he tells me
Jake was like.

1314
01:16:19,246 --> 01:16:21,916
He thinks he is the Phantom
of the Opera.

1315
01:16:21,949 --> 01:16:25,086
Do you know what the real name
of the Phantom was?

1316
01:16:25,119 --> 01:16:26,921
- No.
- Erik.

1317
01:16:55,082 --> 01:16:58,352
So, you must be the journalist.

1318
01:16:58,986 --> 01:17:00,187
I suppose so.

1319
01:17:00,221 --> 01:17:02,823
- Who are you?
- Erik isn't coming.

1320
01:17:03,424 --> 01:17:05,359
He's not well today.

1321
01:17:05,392 --> 01:17:08,095
Sometimes he drinks so much
that he can't even stand up.

1322
01:17:09,296 --> 01:17:12,366
Unfortunately, today
is one of those days.

1323
01:17:12,399 --> 01:17:15,102
So, he asked me to come instead.

1324
01:17:16,203 --> 01:17:17,771
My name is Christine.

1325
01:17:18,339 --> 01:17:19,974
- Christine?
- Yes.

1326
01:17:20,808 --> 01:17:21,809
Is something wrong?

1327
01:17:22,309 --> 01:17:23,310
No.

1328
01:17:24,378 --> 01:17:25,946
Yes.

1329
01:17:25,980 --> 01:17:28,716
Actually, he mentioned yesterday
that name.

1330
01:17:29,383 --> 01:17:31,418
But I need to speak with Erik.

1331
01:17:31,852 --> 01:17:33,387
It was our deal.

1332
01:17:33,420 --> 01:17:35,089
I need to know more about Jake.

1333
01:17:41,362 --> 01:17:43,764
Well, nobody is perfect,

1334
01:17:44,231 --> 01:17:46,066
darling.

1335
01:17:46,100 --> 01:17:49,336
Anyway, Erik and I
always speak in English.

1336
01:17:49,370 --> 01:17:50,738
Okay, whatever.

1337
01:17:52,973 --> 01:17:54,808
I think I can be of help.

1338
01:17:56,043 --> 01:17:58,779
Because I was there
for that terrible...

1339
01:17:59,548 --> 01:18:01,982
- awful night.
- The night when he...

1340
01:18:02,016 --> 01:18:05,286
When Jake Lion
jumped into the river.

1341
01:18:08,389 --> 01:18:10,357
So, what happened exactly,
that night?

1342
01:18:11,492 --> 01:18:13,060
Nothing happened.

1343
01:18:13,093 --> 01:18:15,329
One minute Jake was laughing,

1344
01:18:15,362 --> 01:18:17,798
and then I turn around,
and he was gone.

1345
01:18:18,365 --> 01:18:20,234
Like he had flown away.

1346
01:18:21,068 --> 01:18:22,369
How did you meet Jake?

1347
01:18:24,338 --> 01:18:26,807
I was his friend in Paris.

1348
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:28,108
His companion.

1349
01:18:28,142 --> 01:18:30,277
- You mean, his lover?
- Hmm.

1350
01:18:31,178 --> 01:18:33,347
You get right to the point,
don't you?

1351
01:18:34,114 --> 01:18:36,050
Yes.

1352
01:18:36,083 --> 01:18:40,187
But, at first, I fell in love
with his voice.

1353
01:18:40,754 --> 01:18:43,424
A voice that make ends meet,

1354
01:18:43,457 --> 01:18:44,825
if you know what I mean.

1355
01:18:45,459 --> 01:18:48,195
So delicate and strong

1356
01:18:48,229 --> 01:18:49,463
at the same time.

1357
01:18:50,030 --> 01:18:53,968
Irresistibly triumphant.

1358
01:18:54,001 --> 01:18:55,736
You were kind of a groupie.

1359
01:18:57,539 --> 01:18:59,907
Say that name again,

1360
01:18:59,940 --> 01:19:02,209
and I'm history.

1361
01:19:02,243 --> 01:19:03,844
I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.

1362
01:19:03,877 --> 01:19:05,813
But tell me,
what happened that night?

1363
01:19:07,549 --> 01:19:11,051
At first, it was amusing.
We thought it was a joke.

1364
01:19:12,152 --> 01:19:13,220
<i>♪ From the peninsula</i>

1365
01:19:14,288 --> 01:19:16,323
<i>♪ We stare across the bay</i>

1366
01:19:18,359 --> 01:19:20,294
<i>♪ From the peninsula... ♪</i>

1367
01:19:21,895 --> 01:19:22,997
<i>Just before that night,</i>

1368
01:19:23,030 --> 01:19:25,299
<i>Jake disappeared
for a few days.</i>

1369
01:19:25,332 --> 01:19:27,569
<i>But it wasn't the first time.</i>

1370
01:19:27,602 --> 01:19:30,237
<i>And he would always return
to my bed</i>

1371
01:19:30,271 --> 01:19:31,972
<i>without saying
where he had been.</i>

1372
01:19:33,307 --> 01:19:34,609
<i>That night,</i>

1373
01:19:34,643 --> 01:19:37,978
<i>half a dozen or so friends
had gotten together</i>

1374
01:19:38,012 --> 01:19:41,081
<i>and went for a stroll
around the river.</i>

1375
01:19:41,115 --> 01:19:45,520
<i>When I asked Jake
what he had been up to,</i>

1376
01:19:45,553 --> 01:19:48,989
<i>he said he'd been thinking about whether
he should take his own life or not.</i>

1377
01:19:49,923 --> 01:19:51,458
<i>But we all laughed</i>

1378
01:19:51,492 --> 01:19:54,194
<i>when he said
such a crazy thing.</i>

1379
01:19:54,228 --> 01:19:57,998
<i>I asked him
what he had decided to do.</i>

1380
01:19:58,032 --> 01:19:59,534
<i>♪ Meet you half way</i>

1381
01:20:01,902 --> 01:20:05,339
<i>♪ And we waited for an hour ♪</i>

1382
01:20:06,473 --> 01:20:07,808
I think

1383
01:20:07,841 --> 01:20:11,579
he had already chosen the spot
he wanted to jump into the river.

1384
01:20:13,013 --> 01:20:14,214
Why do you think that?

1385
01:20:15,583 --> 01:20:19,420
Because, that is where
the currents are the strongest.

1386
01:20:20,555 --> 01:20:21,955
Weird guy, huh?

1387
01:20:23,123 --> 01:20:26,126
What did you all do
after he jumped?

1388
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:28,962
What did we do? Well...

1389
01:20:28,996 --> 01:20:31,566
We stopped in a cafe
and then we all went home.

1390
01:20:32,266 --> 01:20:33,934
Stopped in a cafe?

1391
01:20:33,967 --> 01:20:35,002
Home?

1392
01:20:35,035 --> 01:20:36,638
But didn't you do anything?

1393
01:20:36,671 --> 01:20:38,673
Like call the police
or something?

1394
01:20:38,707 --> 01:20:40,374
No, not really.

1395
01:20:40,407 --> 01:20:42,009
I just went home

1396
01:20:42,042 --> 01:20:44,478
and waited for him
to show up again,

1397
01:20:44,512 --> 01:20:46,013
like usual.

1398
01:20:46,046 --> 01:20:47,649
Soaking wet, drunk,
and laughing.

1399
01:20:49,551 --> 01:20:51,452
But Jake never came back.

1400
01:20:53,954 --> 01:20:56,390
So, how did you end up
with Erik?

1401
01:20:58,192 --> 01:20:59,527
Well,

1402
01:20:59,561 --> 01:21:01,696
I have to admit
that at first,

1403
01:21:01,730 --> 01:21:04,932
Erik was a sort of substitute,

1404
01:21:04,965 --> 01:21:07,401
a replacement for Jake.

1405
01:21:08,235 --> 01:21:09,236
But,

1406
01:21:09,937 --> 01:21:11,573
as time went by,

1407
01:21:11,606 --> 01:21:14,341
you know, things happen.

1408
01:21:14,375 --> 01:21:17,911
I suppose coping with Erik
is not easy with his legs

1409
01:21:17,945 --> 01:21:19,514
and his temperament.

1410
01:21:19,547 --> 01:21:21,248
He is a handful.

1411
01:21:21,281 --> 01:21:25,352
Well, there's days
where I adore him,

1412
01:21:25,386 --> 01:21:27,354
and some when I don't.

1413
01:21:29,456 --> 01:21:31,925
Nobody is forcing me to stay,

1414
01:21:31,959 --> 01:21:33,093
but I do.

1415
01:21:34,027 --> 01:21:35,162
It's my choice.

1416
01:21:36,997 --> 01:21:39,299
Are they really similar?

1417
01:21:39,967 --> 01:21:41,135
Erik and Jake?

1418
01:21:41,770 --> 01:21:42,936
Well,

1419
01:21:43,470 --> 01:21:44,471
I'd say

1420
01:21:45,305 --> 01:21:48,442
they are both broken poet.

1421
01:21:50,177 --> 01:21:51,378
Quite moody.

1422
01:21:53,480 --> 01:21:56,049
For different reasons,
I suppose.

1423
01:21:56,785 --> 01:21:59,453
But they are both pitiful.

1424
01:22:02,524 --> 01:22:03,525
Well,

1425
01:22:04,559 --> 01:22:07,394
it's all I can tell you.

1426
01:22:07,428 --> 01:22:11,365
By the way, Erik told me to ask
you for the money you promised him.

1427
01:22:11,398 --> 01:22:12,399
Yes.

1428
01:22:19,072 --> 01:22:22,644
And tell him I didn't deduct
the cost of the tuxedo.

1429
01:22:22,677 --> 01:22:24,144
It's a gift from me.

1439
01:22:54,475 --> 01:22:57,344
So, how's it going
with your phantom man?

1440
01:22:57,377 --> 01:22:59,213
He didn't show up.

1441
01:22:59,246 --> 01:23:03,050
Instead, a Frenchwoman, who claimed
she used to know Jake Lion turned up.

1442
01:23:05,419 --> 01:23:07,354
It's getting stranger
all the time.

1443
01:23:07,387 --> 01:23:09,490
I don't know what's real
or not.

1444
01:23:09,524 --> 01:23:11,559
You seem quite real to me.

1445
01:23:13,093 --> 01:23:15,462
Don't count on it, Joe.

1446
01:23:15,496 --> 01:23:17,464
You know
I'm going home tomorrow.

1447
01:23:18,499 --> 01:23:19,767
Where do you go?

1448
01:23:20,869 --> 01:23:22,504
Well, now,

1449
01:23:22,537 --> 01:23:24,739
I promise not to disappear
if you don't want me to,

1450
01:23:24,772 --> 01:23:28,610
or throw myself into the
Seine or haunt the Opera.

1451
01:23:28,643 --> 01:23:29,777
At least not tonight.

1452
01:23:36,483 --> 01:23:40,354
Didn't any alarms go off
when you were with Mr. Lion,

1453
01:23:40,387 --> 01:23:42,289
supposedly taking care of him?

1454
01:23:42,322 --> 01:23:44,057
- What are you getting at?
- You must have seen

1455
01:23:44,091 --> 01:23:46,828
some signs, like,
he was depressed,

1456
01:23:46,861 --> 01:23:48,028
or...

1457
01:23:49,864 --> 01:23:51,498
There was something.

1458
01:23:51,533 --> 01:23:54,434
I probably should have
taken it more seriously,

1459
01:23:54,468 --> 01:23:56,436
but at the time,
it seemed like a joke.

1460
01:23:56,470 --> 01:23:58,573
What are you
talking about, Joe?

1461
01:23:58,606 --> 01:24:01,074
There was a meeting
at the record label.

1462
01:24:01,108 --> 01:24:03,611
Everybody was there.
The head of the label at the time,

1463
01:24:03,645 --> 01:24:05,312
lots of important people.

1464
01:24:05,345 --> 01:24:08,081
And Jake was there?

1465
01:24:08,115 --> 01:24:10,183
Yeah, of course.
The meeting was about Jake.

1466
01:24:10,217 --> 01:24:12,452
What he was going to do.
His band, The Words, had broken up,

1467
01:24:12,486 --> 01:24:14,221
and now he was in Paris.

1468
01:24:14,254 --> 01:24:16,758
It was really about the future
of his career.

1469
01:24:16,791 --> 01:24:19,493
Someone made a stupid joke.

1470
01:24:20,528 --> 01:24:22,195
What kind of joke?

1471
01:24:22,229 --> 01:24:24,164
Something about...

1472
01:24:24,197 --> 01:24:27,735
Jim Morrison's death
being a great career move.

1473
01:24:28,670 --> 01:24:30,437
That's kind of funny in a way.

1474
01:24:31,573 --> 01:24:33,775
Well, everyone laughed but Jake.

1475
01:24:35,442 --> 01:24:37,344
It was kind of awkward, really.

1476
01:24:38,580 --> 01:24:40,147
He left, went to the toilet,

1477
01:24:40,180 --> 01:24:43,383
never came back.
Left us there waiting for him.

1478
01:24:44,552 --> 01:24:48,221
I lost him for a few days
till that night on the bridge.

1479
01:24:48,255 --> 01:24:51,626
And you think that might have
put the idea in his head.

1480
01:24:51,659 --> 01:24:53,561
I don't want
to think about that.

1481
01:24:55,730 --> 01:24:57,865
You know, in Paris, Meg,

1482
01:24:57,899 --> 01:25:00,334
it's a tradition to have
a glass of champagne

1483
01:25:00,367 --> 01:25:02,302
before you make love.

1484
01:25:02,336 --> 01:25:06,139
And, do you know, Joe,
in New York, we fuck first.

1485
01:25:06,173 --> 01:25:07,709

Hi, Meg.

1520
01:27:19,607 --> 01:27:21,274
Finished with Paris?

1521
01:27:21,308 --> 01:27:22,944
Fuck you. I'm here, you see.

1522
01:27:24,746 --> 01:27:26,914
So, that's all I've got, Kathy.

1523
01:27:26,948 --> 01:27:30,317
This guy, he says
he is Jake's crippled brother.

1524
01:27:30,350 --> 01:27:33,320
Also, you don't look
very convinced.

1525
01:27:33,353 --> 01:27:37,357
Oh, well, it might be
wishful thinking on my part,

1526
01:27:37,390 --> 01:27:39,560
but there has to be
more to the story than this.

1527
01:27:40,695 --> 01:27:41,863
I don't know.

1528
01:27:41,896 --> 01:27:44,532
I doubt we will be able
to find out much more.

1529
01:27:44,565 --> 01:27:47,668
This guy, Erik,
he is very strange.

1530
01:27:47,702 --> 01:27:49,637
Well, don't give up too easily.

1531
01:27:49,670 --> 01:27:51,973
You told me to find out
more about Erik,

1532
01:27:52,006 --> 01:27:54,075
so I tracked down Susan Philips.

1533
01:27:54,675 --> 01:27:55,810
Who is she?

1534
01:27:55,843 --> 01:27:57,712
Well,

1535
01:27:57,745 --> 01:28:01,516
apparently, Susan used to give music
lessons to Jake and his brother

1536
01:28:01,549 --> 01:28:04,384
when they were kids
on Long Island.

1537
01:28:04,417 --> 01:28:07,021
You have an appointment with her at
11:00, tomorrow morning.

1538
01:28:07,922 --> 01:28:09,090
You are kidding me.

1539
01:28:09,123 --> 01:28:10,224
Long Island?

1540
01:28:10,258 --> 01:28:13,761
You think this old music teacher
can contribute anything?

1541
01:28:15,462 --> 01:28:17,131
Why, you never know.

1542
01:28:17,165 --> 01:28:20,501
I mean, it may
make some kind of

1543
01:28:20,535 --> 01:28:23,004
baby boomer-generation story.

1544
01:28:23,938 --> 01:28:25,106
Those always work.

1545
01:28:26,541 --> 01:28:28,009
And anyway,

1546
01:28:28,042 --> 01:28:31,411
you may find out whether there
really are two brothers or not.

1547
01:28:32,713 --> 01:28:34,414
Is this like an order?

1548
01:28:34,447 --> 01:28:35,750
Mm-hmm.

1549
01:28:35,783 --> 01:28:37,450
Long Island? Really?

1550
01:28:37,484 --> 01:28:39,020
Yeah.

01:32:00,688 --> 01:32:02,590
And you're Meg
from <i>Rolling Stone.</i>

1592
01:32:02,623 --> 01:32:04,825
Please, come in.
I've been expecting you.

1593
01:32:15,269 --> 01:32:16,771
These boys you're looking at

1594
01:32:16,804 --> 01:32:19,006
are Jake Lion
and his brother, Erik.

1595
01:32:19,040 --> 01:32:21,375
About the age they were when
they used to come to my house

1596
01:32:21,409 --> 01:32:22,910
for their music lessons.

1597
01:32:24,245 --> 01:32:25,713
I'll get some tea.

1598
01:32:25,746 --> 01:32:27,782
Thanks. That's really kind
of you.

1599
01:32:37,625 --> 01:32:40,027
What exactly did you teach them?

1600
01:32:40,061 --> 01:32:41,595
Like all kids at the time,

1601
01:32:41,629 --> 01:32:43,964
beginner guitar
and a little singing.

1602
01:32:43,998 --> 01:32:46,867
Jake didn't like to sing
at that age. Too shy.

1603
01:32:47,368 --> 01:32:48,636
That's amazing.

1604
01:32:48,669 --> 01:32:50,171
They look very much alike.

1605
01:32:51,305 --> 01:32:52,940
Physically, yes.

1606
01:32:52,973 --> 01:32:56,210
Blonde hair, pale skin,
skinny kids.

1607
01:32:56,243 --> 01:32:58,212
But very different characters.

1608
01:32:58,879 --> 01:33:01,282
Jake was shy and introverted,

1609
01:33:01,315 --> 01:33:03,918
whereas Erik was manipulative,

1610
01:33:03,951 --> 01:33:05,152
calculating.

1611
01:33:05,186 --> 01:33:07,088
He was behind all the mischief.

1612
01:33:08,289 --> 01:33:10,124
Were they both good musicians?

1613
01:33:10,157 --> 01:33:14,395
Yes. For their age and each
in his own way, of course.

1614
01:33:14,428 --> 01:33:18,265
Jake was more sensitive,
probably more imaginative.

1615
01:33:18,299 --> 01:33:19,700
Erik sang well.

1616
01:33:19,733 --> 01:33:22,036
And taken together,
they were quite a pair.

1617
01:33:23,170 --> 01:33:24,405
And,

1618
01:33:24,438 --> 01:33:26,140
did they get along
with each other?

1619
01:33:26,173 --> 01:33:28,142
Ah, adored each other.

1620
01:33:28,175 --> 01:33:32,746
Erik, being the older brother,
looked after his brother.

1621
01:33:32,780 --> 01:33:34,215
They went everywhere together.

1622
01:33:34,248 --> 01:33:37,685
They lived just nearby,
right down the block.

1623
01:33:37,718 --> 01:33:40,721
Father wasn't at home much,
him being in the military.

1624
01:33:41,856 --> 01:33:44,425
Got divorced, and the mother...

1625
01:33:44,458 --> 01:33:47,261
Well, I think,
married a car salesman.

1626
01:33:47,294 --> 01:33:49,263
Took them to Arizona.

1627
01:33:49,296 --> 01:33:51,932
I never would have heard
of him again, if...

1628
01:33:51,966 --> 01:33:56,737
not for Jake becoming so famous
despite his illness.

1629
01:33:56,770 --> 01:34:00,141
I taught dozens of kids
in my day, but those two...

1630
01:34:00,174 --> 01:34:02,810
But... Excuse me. What disease?

1631
01:34:02,843 --> 01:34:06,013
Doctor said he had
a degenerative disease

1632
01:34:06,046 --> 01:34:08,115
since he was very young.

1633
01:34:08,149 --> 01:34:10,117
Some kind of sclerosis,

1634
01:34:10,151 --> 01:34:12,286
that, over time,
affects mobility,

1635
01:34:12,319 --> 01:34:14,221
particularly in the legs.

1636
01:34:14,255 --> 01:34:17,124
Another reason why
Erik protected him so much.

1637
01:34:17,158 --> 01:34:20,261
Excuse me,
but I think you're mistaken.

1638
01:34:20,294 --> 01:34:22,796
It's Erik who actually
has that disease.

1639
01:34:23,397 --> 01:34:24,999
No, no. It was Jake.

1640
01:34:25,032 --> 01:34:26,167
Are you sure?

1641
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:27,902
Of course I am.

1642
01:34:27,935 --> 01:34:29,036
Jake used to come in limping

1643
01:34:29,069 --> 01:34:31,972
when he came for his music
lessons, even as a child.

1644
01:34:32,740 --> 01:34:33,774
I see.

1645
01:34:33,807 --> 01:34:35,510
And what about Erik?

1646
01:34:35,544 --> 01:34:37,244
Erik... Rumor had it

1647
01:34:37,278 --> 01:34:40,214
that he followed the father
to Vietnam and never came back.

1648
01:34:40,247 --> 01:34:42,383
MIA.

1649
01:34:42,416 --> 01:34:45,920
Nobody ever heard from him again
and they never found him.

1650
01:34:45,953 --> 01:34:48,789
Now I hear people go there
on vacation, is that true?

1651
01:34:48,822 --> 01:34:49,924
I suppose.

1652
01:34:49,957 --> 01:34:52,259

Where is her royal highness?

01:35:19,588 --> 01:35:21,255
Did you bring
the rest of my cash?

1665
01:35:21,288 --> 01:35:22,356
Well,

1666
01:35:22,389 --> 01:35:23,991
what happens next

1667
01:35:24,024 --> 01:35:26,193
depends on what you tell me now.

1668
01:35:26,227 --> 01:35:28,462
What are you saying?
Did you find Jake or not?

1669
01:35:29,230 --> 01:35:30,497
I maybe found Jake,

1670
01:35:30,532 --> 01:35:33,300
but the Jake I found
told me he was not Jake.

1671
01:35:33,334 --> 01:35:34,868
Who did he say he was?

1672
01:35:34,902 --> 01:35:36,937
He said he was Erik Lion,

1673
01:35:36,971 --> 01:35:38,339
Jake's brother.

1674
01:35:38,372 --> 01:35:39,473
Erik?

1675
01:35:39,507 --> 01:35:40,575
No fucking way.

1676
01:35:40,609 --> 01:35:42,876
That guy joined the army
and disappeared.

1677
01:35:42,910 --> 01:35:44,078
Maybe he didn't.

1678
01:35:44,111 --> 01:35:47,281
And he went back to Paris
to identify his brother's body.

1679
01:35:47,314 --> 01:35:49,283
And he just stayed there.

1680
01:35:49,316 --> 01:35:52,186
At least, that is what
he claims.

1681
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:55,422
That's impossible.

1682
01:35:55,456 --> 01:35:58,459
Erik made a stopover in Paris
on his way to Vietnam.

1683
01:35:58,492 --> 01:36:00,227
That's when he identified
his brother's body.

1684
01:36:00,961 --> 01:36:02,129
After that,

1685
01:36:02,162 --> 01:36:03,330
I don't know what happened.

1686
01:36:03,364 --> 01:36:04,798
Even the army couldn't find him.

1687
01:36:04,832 --> 01:36:06,800
Well, the guy I met,

1688
01:36:06,834 --> 01:36:09,436
Jake or Erik or whoever,

1689
01:36:09,470 --> 01:36:11,038
drinks like a fish,

1690
01:36:11,071 --> 01:36:14,241
gives concerts for the pigeons
and walks with a cane.

1691
01:36:14,875 --> 01:36:15,909
See what I mean?

1692
01:36:15,943 --> 01:36:17,978
I told you
it was Jake fucking Lion!

1693
01:36:18,012 --> 01:36:19,880
Why do you say that?

1694
01:36:19,913 --> 01:36:22,617
Because it was Jake
who had that damn disease.

1695
01:36:22,651 --> 01:36:24,985
There was nothing wrong with Erik.
Shit, the army took him.

1696
01:36:25,019 --> 01:36:28,022
But, what about the body
Erik identified?

1697
01:36:29,156 --> 01:36:30,858
Who knows?

1698
01:36:30,891 --> 01:36:33,427
Probably some tramp
they fished out of the river.

1699
01:36:33,460 --> 01:36:35,963
But the guy with the limp
you found in the metro,

1700
01:36:35,996 --> 01:36:37,431
that had to be Jake.

1701
01:36:37,464 --> 01:36:40,367
Then, what that woman,
his music teacher,

1702
01:36:40,401 --> 01:36:42,870
told me must be true.

1703
01:36:42,903 --> 01:36:45,339
So, Jake is pretending
to be his brother.

1704
01:36:45,372 --> 01:36:47,875
Crazy like a fox.

1705
01:36:47,908 --> 01:36:49,209
This is a mind-blower.

1706
01:36:50,311 --> 01:36:51,945
You want something
to drink, honey?

1707
01:36:51,979 --> 01:36:53,113
It's on me today.
What would you like?

1708
01:36:53,682 --> 01:36:54,982
Rum and Coke.

1709
01:36:56,050 --> 01:36:58,319
Rick, rum and Coke
for the lady.

1710
01:37:00,020 --> 01:37:02,256
- And a...
- Diet Coke for you, Plynth?

1711
01:37:04,158 --> 01:37:05,159
No booze?

1712
01:37:05,993 --> 01:37:06,994
I'll tell you.

1713
01:37:07,928 --> 01:37:09,229
The famous drink liquor,

1714
01:37:10,331 --> 01:37:11,865
the idols drink water,

1715
01:37:12,433 --> 01:37:13,901
and the legends,

1716
01:37:13,934 --> 01:37:16,370
they don't drink nothing at all.

1717
01:37:16,403 --> 01:37:19,940
Well, I couldn't,
and I didn't want to believe

1718
01:37:19,973 --> 01:37:22,577
that this old pitiful guy I met

1719
01:37:22,610 --> 01:37:26,180
was actually
the mythical Jake Lion.

1720
01:37:26,213 --> 01:37:29,416
And when that Christine
backed up his story...

1721
01:37:29,450 --> 01:37:30,585
Ah!

1722
01:37:30,618 --> 01:37:33,287
So you met the famous Christine.

1723
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,389
Parisian groupie par excellence.

1724
01:37:35,422 --> 01:37:38,192
Do you know
something about her, too?

1725
01:37:38,225 --> 01:37:42,196
Well, from the first time
The Words played in Paris,

1726
01:37:42,229 --> 01:37:44,298
she stuck to Jake
and kept buzzing around him

1727
01:37:44,331 --> 01:37:45,999
even when he'd tell her
to bug off.

1728
01:37:47,736 --> 01:37:50,605
I bet she helped to put this
whole disappearing act together.

1729
01:37:50,638 --> 01:37:52,339
She's a crafty one.

1730
01:37:52,373 --> 01:37:55,376
So, there might be
a story here after all.

1731
01:37:55,409 --> 01:37:57,010
How bad were his legs?

1732
01:37:57,044 --> 01:37:59,346
Bad. He won't be walking
for long.

1733
01:38:03,417 --> 01:38:04,952
You know, sweetheart,

1734
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:08,523
I don't think this story
is such a great idea anymore.

1735
01:38:08,989 --> 01:38:10,491
What do you mean?

1736
01:38:10,525 --> 01:38:12,493
Don't you want
the rest of your money?

1737
01:38:12,527 --> 01:38:15,195
No story, no cash.

1738
01:38:15,229 --> 01:38:17,231
That's what Kathy Madison says.

1739
01:38:19,066 --> 01:38:21,101
Sure, I could use the money,

1740
01:38:21,135 --> 01:38:22,436
but I could also live
without it.

1741
01:38:24,739 --> 01:38:26,641
Shit.

1742
01:38:26,674 --> 01:38:29,544
Maybe we should let Jake Lion
stay a dead legend,

1743
01:38:29,577 --> 01:38:31,646
better than a living liar
and a cripple.

1744
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:35,215
People wouldn't forgive him
for that.

1745
01:38:35,249 --> 01:38:37,585
And, you and I would end up
not forgiving ourselves either.

1746
01:38:38,485 --> 01:38:40,655
Just think about it.

1747
01:38:40,688 --> 01:38:42,757
How are you going to feel
when a shitload of paparazzi

1748
01:38:42,791 --> 01:38:44,759
descends on that metro stop,

1749
01:38:44,793 --> 01:38:47,394
and Jake is trying to get away
on his cane.

1750
01:38:47,428 --> 01:38:49,363
I want no fucking part of that.

1751
01:38:50,097 --> 01:38:51,533
I can't believe you.

1752
01:38:51,566 --> 01:38:53,333
You're not as tough

Yes.

1778
01:40:13,515 --> 01:40:16,216
Back at the fabulous Class Bar.

1779
01:40:16,250 --> 01:40:18,285
I'm thinking
of becoming a regular.

1780
01:40:19,888 --> 01:40:23,056
So, was it Jake
or was it not Jake?

1781
01:40:23,090 --> 01:40:24,726
What difference does it make?

1782
01:40:24,759 --> 01:40:27,595
I think you always knew
the truth, anyway.

1783
01:40:27,629 --> 01:40:29,564
The truth was up to you to find.

1784
01:40:30,632 --> 01:40:32,499
Just tell me,
do we have an article?

1785
01:40:33,367 --> 01:40:35,269
Finally, I don't think so.

1786
01:40:37,104 --> 01:40:38,105
<i>Are you sure?</i>

1787
01:40:39,139 --> 01:40:40,842
Could make a great story.

1788
01:40:40,875 --> 01:40:42,175
Make your reputation.

1789
01:40:42,911 --> 01:40:44,579
Yeah, I'm sure.

1790
01:40:46,179 --> 01:40:49,116
Well, I guess
that's the right decision.

1791
01:40:50,585 --> 01:40:52,620
<i>But it was never up to me
to make it.</i>

1792
01:40:52,654 --> 01:40:57,257
Why don't you go to Paris
and see him by yourself?

1793
01:40:57,291 --> 01:41:00,795
For the same reason that
you're not writing the story.

1794
01:41:00,828 --> 01:41:04,231
By the way,
I might be going back to Paris

1795
01:41:04,264 --> 01:41:06,366
to spend some time.

1796
01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:08,670
I thought it was full
of bad memories for you.

1797
01:41:09,469 --> 01:41:11,739
Not so much anymore.

1798
01:41:11,773 --> 01:41:13,508
Well, what are you
going to do there?

is there still love between us?

1815
01:41:51,879 --> 01:41:55,215
It's hard to feel love
inside a grave.

1816
01:41:57,819 --> 01:42:01,522
Do you think that journalist
bought all of this?

1817
01:42:02,890 --> 01:42:03,891
I don't know.

1818
01:42:04,859 --> 01:42:08,663
I just hope she realized

1819
01:42:08,696 --> 01:42:12,299
