Part 1
Danny: I can’t believe we’re really filming ‘Permanent Wound’!
You assemble your cast and crew on the deck of the cargo ship.
Danny: I can’t tell you all how excited I am. This is an awesome scene to kick off filming. And I do mean kick off. In this scene, Chris literally boots two rival gang members off the edge of the boat!
Royal: I can’t believe the Chris Winters is gonna kick me in the chest!
Crash: George Clooney punched me in the face once. Best day of my life.
Ashton: I’m just psyched to work with the footage once you’re done. CGI sharks, here I come!
Royal: I can’t believe I actually get a line this time! I can’t wait to say it!
Danny: Let’s go this! Time to kick off filming for ‘Permanent Wound’!
The camera crew starts shooting as Chris walks out to the edge of the ship.
Chris: You two picked the wrong boat to stow away on. Now I’m booking you to a new final destination... the bottom of the ocean. Uh... can we cut? Sorry, everyone. Danny, can we talk?
Danny: Sure thing! Is everything okay?
Chris: I’m just starting to worry. Look at me! I can’t stop smiling, and I have no idea what I keep doing with my hands. Is the audience really going to believe me as a villain?
Danny: Sure they will! The key to this character is anger. I’ve got an idea of something that might help... You’re always so nice... and that means you must have some repressed rage inside! Think back on your own life to times when you’ve been bullied or ignored. How’d that make you feel?
Chris: I did get bullied in middle school. I don’t know why they decided to pick on me... they just did. It made me feel... mad.
Danny: Well now imagine you grew up feeling that way every day of your life! That’s your character! John Black went bad because of that pain... One day, he couldn’t take getting pushed around anymore, and he decided to take control of his life... his block... his city!
Chris: I didn’t choose this life... it chose me!
Danny: That’s what I’m talking about! Get mad!
Chris: I’m John goddamn Black! Time to kill some rival thugs!
Royal: Let’s do this!
Time - 15 hours, 30 minutes
Chris takes a deep breath and shoots you a thumbs up.
Danny: Roll cameras!
The scene begins. Crash and Royal stand at the edge of the boat, while Chris paces in front of them.
Chris: So you two are the unwanted guests I’ve heard so much about… How nice to meet you. Unfortunately, I don’t think this friendship will last long…
Crash: You won’t get away with this! The Triad won’t forget.
Chris: What a joke. Do you really think your bosses expected you to survive this mission? Wait. Don’t answer that. You can think about it on your way down.
With that, Chris kicks Crash off the side of the boat!
Crash: Ahhhhh!
Royal: Wait… I want to negotiate. You’re a businessman, right?
Chris: Usually, I’m a kingpin, but today I’m a garbageman… taking out the trash!
Chris kicks Royal square in the chest… and right off the boat!
Royal: Noooooo!
The cinematographer yells ‘cut’ as Crash and Royal swim to a nearby liferaft.
Danny: Great scene, everyone!
Ashton: Woo hoo! I can’t wait to work my magic on this. Those kicks are gonna look sweet in slo-mo!

Later, as you, Ethan, and Addison walk the gangplank back to shore, you see Lisa Valentine dressed in a ballgown and waiting for you.
Lisa: There you are! Why aren’t you dressed up for the premiere?
Danny: Premiere? What are you talking about?
Lisa: It’s the ‘Clash at Sunset’ premiere tonight. Don’t tell me you’d even think of missing it! You made the movie!
Danny: Apparently, Anders Stone decided not to invite me. He owns ‘Clash at Sunset’ now.
Ethan: Typical Anders.
Addison: He doesn’t want you around to steal his glory.
Danny: You know what… who needs an invitation? I say we crash this premiere!
Lisa: That’s what I’m talking about! Let’s go!
Part 2
Lisa: Let’s crash the red carpet!
You, Addison, Ethan, and Lisa arrive at the premiere of ‘Clash at Sunset’. Your limo pulls up to the red carpet.
Danny: Here we go! I can’t wait to see the look on Anders’s face when we crash his premiere!
You walk out of the limo to find a throng of reporters waiting, including May Gordon.
May Gordon: Danny! So great to see you.
Danny: Okay. What’s going on? Why are you smiling like that? Usually you’re scowling and trying to dig up dirt.
May Gordon: Haven’t you heard the news? The network just gave me my own show. I’m on cloud nine! I’m going to call it ‘30 Minutes’. It’ll be like ’60 Minutes’ without all of the boring analysis and facts! Anyway, there’s no point in interviewing you. You’re old news. I’m waiting for Anders Stone.
Just then, a black BMW pulls up, and Anders steps out of the back.
Anders Stone: Danny? I don’t remember putting you on the guest list.
May Gordon: Oh! This sounds juicy! Care to share a little bit more on this behind-the-scenes drama?
Anders Stone: What? I’m not sure what you think you heard, but… Danny and I are on great terms. Right, Danny?
Anders leans over and whispers in your ear.
Anders Stone: A public feud would be bad for both of our careers. I suggest you keep it civil while the press is around.
May Gordon: Care to share some opinions about Anders, Danny?
Danny: Actually… Anders is looking great… especially his new toupee!
Anders Stone: This hair is one hundred percent real.
Danny: Sure! Just like Bianca is your real, biological daughter, right? I mean… I’m sure that it’s just a coincidence that she looks nothing like you!
Anders Stone: How dare you question her paternity! She used to have my nose. Before— Uh… forget I said that!
May Gordon: Ooh… this is getting juicy! You heard it here first, folks! Rumors are swirling that Bianca Stone had a secret nose job a few years back!
Anders Stone: You run that footage and I’ll sue you for everything you’re worth.
May Gordon: Too late! This is live TV!
Anders Stone: Get those cameras away from me. This interview is over!
May Gordon: Great interview! May Gordon is on a roll!
Danny: That went even better than I’d hoped!

A few minutes later, you and your friends sit down in the theater as Anders walks to the front.
Anders Stone: As many of you know, this film was originally screened at Sundance… But I simply wasn’t satisfied with the version we released there. So I’m happy to announce that tonight, for the first time, you’ll be watching my improved version of the film!
Danny: What? Anders changed our movie?
Lisa: Can he do that?
Ethan: Unfortunately, yes. Let’s hope he didn’t go too crazy with changes.
Addison: I guess we’re about to find out.
Part 3
Anders Stone: I can’t wait for you to see the new version of ‘Clash at Sunset’!
The movie starts, and Bianca appears onscreen.
Bianca: No burner… or mutant can stop my… journey to the sea!
Lisa: I don’t remember this scene…
Danny: That’s because we didn’t film it! Anders must have shot more scenes with Bianca!
The movie cuts to… another scene with Bianca!
Bianca: Bring on… the muties! I’m an unstoppable… killing machine!
Danny: Anders is making it all about Bianca! This is supposed to be an ensemble piece!
Addison: Didn’t the movie used to start with me burning down an abandoned grocery store? Am I even in ‘Clash at Sunset’ anymore?
Danny: Let’s… let’s just keep watching.
Time - 17 hours, 10 minutes
As the movie continues to play, there are even more Bianca scenes!
Bianca: If a robot can… learn how to love… it can also learn how to hate!
Lisa: I can’t believe my character is supposed to be in love with her. She’s horrible.
Ethan: They butchered our poor movie.
Addison: My character only has like two lines now.
Danny: I was supposed to be the director of this movie… but Anders has completely trashed my hard work.
Ethan: It’s like someone scribbled on the Mona Lisa with crayons.
Danny: We can’t let him get away with this!
Rewards
As the movie ends, the crowd applauds and Anders takes a seat at the front of the theater.
Anders Stone: I’m enormously proud of the work I did on this film, and I’m happy to do some Q and A. But first, let me bring up the person who truly made this movie great… My daughter Bianca! Come on up, Bibi!
Bianca takes the stage along with Anders.
Bianca: You’re the best daddy in the world!
May Gordon: What a sweet moment. Quick question, Anders. Think Bianca’s performance is worthy of winning an Audrey?
Anders Stone: Without question. My little Desiree already has one. Now it’s Bianca’s turn!
Danny: That’s it… I can’t watch this any longer. It’s time for me to say something!
Part 4
Danny: Time for me to speak up and set the record straight!
As you gather your courage, Anders and Bianca continue with their Q and A.
Diego: Enough with the softball questions. I want to know why you changed the book! Bianca’s character isn’t supposed to be an android!
Anders Stone: Uh… well… the thing is…
You stand up and march to the front of the theater.
Danny: I’ll answer that question! I’m the one who made the movie, after all! You see, the character needed to change because it was better for the story! I was the one calling the shots… and along with Holly Chang, I decided to make Bianca a robot for the story’s sake. Don’t you think it was an awesome revelation when we saw Bianca’s makeup? That’s something Dean Ericson and I cooked up!
Diego: Wait a second… if you were the one making all of the artistic decisions, what did Anders do?
Danny: Good question.
Anders Stone: Danny may have started making this movie… but I’m the one who made the final cut! Now Danny is just here trying to steal the glory.
Danny: If anything, you stole my glory, and I’m trying to take it back!
Anders Stone: This is just getting pathetic. Case in point… my next movie is ‘Sisterhoods’, about undercover cops… And to copy me, Danny dusted off some old script that’s also about an undercover cop.
Danny: What? You’re the one who decided to copy me!
Anders Stone: Ha! Why would an established producer like me want to copy a nobody like you! Now someone call security… and get this parasite out of my premiere.
Rewards
Later, outside…
Danny: I can’t believe Anders turned the tables on me… AGAIN!
Ethan: This is no time to get angry. We need to do some serious damage control. Anders keeps one-upping us because he knows how to spin things to the press. It’s time to beat him at his own game.
Ethan points to May Gordon, who is interviewing people as they leave the theater.
Ethan: May Gordon says she has a new half-hour show, right? Let’s book you on it. Then you’ll have time to tell the audience your side of the story…
Danny: Time to give Anders a taste of his own medicine! Looks like I’d better go talk to May Gordon.
Part 5
Ethan: Talk to May… and make sure to play nice.
You walk up to May Gordon.
May Gordon: Well, well. You caused quite a stir in there. Care to comment?
Danny: I’d love to comment… but I’ll do you one better. How about I sit down with you on ’30 Minutes’ and tell my side of the story?
May Gordon: I dunno. I can stand you for five minutes, tops. Do you really think my audience can handle you for thirty?
Danny: There are plenty of people who find me entertaining!
May Gordon: You mean those D-listers in your entourage? They barely qualify as people.
Danny: Say what you want about me, but don’t you dare insult my friends.
May Gordon: This is getting boring. I’m giving you ten more seconds to pitch me on this interview, starting… now!
Time - 22 hours, 30 minutes
May Gordon: So, Danny, tell me… do you really think I should put a nobody like you on my show?
Danny: Listen, May… I can tell you don’t like me much… well I don’t like you either. But you don’t have to like me to put me on your show! All you care about is ratings, right?
May Gordon: You know what? You’re actually making sense. Now tell me how you’re going to deliver a ratings bonanza.
Danny: Well, for starters, I have tons of dirt to dish on the Stone family… I can talk about on- set meltdowns…
May Gordon: Go on…
Danny: Shady backroom dealings…
May Gordon: I’m listening…
Danny: And complete and utter betrayal!
May Gordon: Now you’re speaking my language! I like it. Fans love behind the scene drama, and this story has plenty. I’m booking you for tomorrow. Get ready to tell America your story!
Rewards
Later, back in your dorm room, you and Ethan talk strategy.
Danny: I can’t wait to introduce America to the real Anders Stone!
Ethan: Listen, I’ve been thinking about our strategy… and you may want to back off on this ‘set the record straight’ stuff. May obviously wants drama, but that’s not a good look for us. Once you get a reputation as ‘difficult to work with’ in this town, it’s hard to shake. So here’s the battle plan. When you go in there tomorrow, keep it positive.
Danny: Are you sure? What about getting revenge? Destroying our enemies? All of that good stuff.
Ethan: Careful. You’re starting to sound like Anders. I’m telling you, forget about him and Bianca. Make this interview about ‘Permanent Wound’. Don’t stoop to Anders’s level.
Danny: I’ll do my best…
Ethan: Tell me you’re not going to do something crazy.
Danny: We’ll see…
Ethan: Perfect. Well, looks like I’m in for a sleepless night. But you had better get to bed. You’ve got a big day tomorrow.
Part 6
Ethan: Get ready for May’s show. Don’t get caught up in any drama!
You show up to the set of ’30 Minutes’ where you find May waiting for you.
May Gordon: Let’s get those cameras rolling! Okay, everyone. Welcome to the first episode of ’30 Minutes’ with your host, me, May Gordon! This is very exciting. My first show… and it looks like it’ll be a doozy!
Danny: Oh yeah. I’m so ready to share all kinds of stuff about ‘Permanent Wound’! This all started with a script from the incredible Holly Chang, who--
May Gordon: I booked you to share some juicy gossip… not to promote your second-rate movie.
Danny: My movie isn’t going to be second rate! It’s going to be amazing!
You speak right into the camera.
Danny: We’ve got Chris Winters and Zoe Rodriguez! ‘Permanent Wound’ is going to be a blockbuster!
May Gordon: Stop pitching your stupid movie! You promised drama… and I’m going to make sure I get it!
Danny: Uh… how are you going to do that?
May Gordon: With a surprise guest, of course… Bianca Stone!

Bianca walks up and sits close by, glaring daggers at you.
Bianca: May, I have a lot to say about my time on the set of ‘Clash at Sunset’. I’ve been keeping quiet for fear of what might happen to me! But I can’t stand idly by and let Danny terrorize more actors!
Danny: What are you talking about?
Bianca: I’m talking about the truth! That Danny is a tyrant… a monster! From following me to my trailer, to taping me without my knowledge, to completely changing my character mid-production… Danny made my life a living hell!
May Gordon: Oh… my viewers can’t wait to hear all about it!
Danny: Wait… this is supposed to be my interview!
So much for spin control! This TV interview is about to get out of hand! Keep playing to see what happens next!

Bianca walks up and sits close by, glaring daggers at you.
Bianca: May, I have a lot to say about my time on the set of ‘Clash at Sunset’. I’ve been keeping quiet for fear of what might happen to me! But I can’t stand idly by and let Danny terrorize more actors!
Danny: What are you talking about?
Bianca: I’m talking about the truth! That Danny is a tyrant… a monster! From following me to my trailer, to taping me without my knowledge, to completely changing my character mid-production… Danny made my life a living hell!
May Gordon: Oh… my viewers can’t wait to hear all about it!
Danny: Wait… this is supposed to be my interview!
So much for spin control! This TV interview is about to get out of hand! Keep playing to see what happens next!
