PREVIOUSLY ON ENTOURAGE BILLY WALSH Drama, I want to tell the story of an American dream... I want you [to play the lead role] DRAMA Billy, that's genius! I'm in. SLOAN I can't keep dropping my charity meetings just because you're too busy. ERIC Sloan... MIA So it's a streaming service? TURTLE Nah, honey, it's a music availability enterprise. VINCE Federico - I would be honored to do this movie. BRIAN WILLIAMS Film star Vincent Chase. The latest target of internet hackers. ARI LLOYD! EXT. LOS ANGELES - NIGHT Credits. INT. THE BOY'S PAD Turtle sits with a HIGH QUALITY APPLE LAPTOP and iPHONE 7 in his lap watching TMZ. Maybe he's smoking too. We take the show in from Turtle's view. The TMZ LEADER is asking his staff about the latest developments. Note: Hire intern to absorb some TMZ and re-write this scene to better reflect the reality of the show. TMZ LEADER Now, we've gotten a lot of details about Vince Chase from these leaks. The depression following his obsessive relationship with Mandy Moore, the rehab notes that tell us just how bad his addiction was, and lewd texts between the Gatsby star and everyone from waitresses to starlets to Oscar winning actresses and executives. TMZER #1 -And the emails that show his then-agent, now Warners exec Ari Gold strong arming Vince into movies that producers and directors clearly didn't want him in - Smokejumpers - TMZER #2 Let's not forget the nepotism - his refusal to work with a real manager allowing his talentless pal Eric Murphy into Hollywood... The clause in his contract that guarantees his brother John Chase a role in every movie. TMZ LEADER I guess we know why there was a speaking role for Jazz Age Bozo #4 in Gatsby... Drama walks in, sees what Turtle's watching - maybe even catches a bit of what was said about him on the show - and is his usual blend of angry and offended. TMZ BABE #1 But I think that's sweet - that he still looks out for his childhood friends... DRAMA Turtle! What the FUCK are you doing? TURTLE Just catching up on the news. DRAMA The news? Turtle, this is TMZ bullshit. TURTLE So? DRAMA (taken aback) SO? Could you be any less helpful? TURTLE hits a button, switching the TV input to PORNOGRAPHY. The camera lingers on the TV as two women bone and make sensual noises. DRAMA Great. Baby Bro's in trouble and you're here jerking off. TURTLE turns the TV off. TURTLE First of all, you're just mad that TMZ ain't mention your starring role in "Miners." Secondly, relax Drama. You know I'm just planning our counterattack. DRAMA Unless there's a new definition for planning - TURTLE Look, we gotta know what's out there. I got TMZ on the TV, I got Twitter on constant refresh on my iPhone, and I'm going through Reddit on the laptop. DRAMA, looking mollified, plops down on the couch next to TURTLE and looks over his shoulder at the laptop. DRAMA So, what're they saying about the Chase boys? TURTLE Drama, they ain't talking about you. And I dunno - there's a lot happening. Ya got #TeamVince who'd support Vin no matter what - it actually gets a little creepy - then you've got privacy rights advocates, people with no opinion, commentators who hate celebrities, posters who just hate Vince, homophobes, sexists, communists, fascists - Regardless, it doesn't matter to these folks. I've been trying to support Vin using different usernames, but it's such a massive event - DRAMA We Chase men don't do things small - unlike E - TURTLE I think the only way we can have an impact is to do an AMA. We have to let the public see Vince the way we see him. DRAMA Yeah, we'll fight all these motherfuckers. TURTLE That's MMA, Drama. TURTLE shakes his head while DRAMA just kinds of sits there and we ride out the punchline before we cut to INT. SHAUNA'S OFFICE SHAUNA How the fuck could you let this happen, Eric? E Me? I'm just the manager. How the fuck did you let this become a national news story, Shauna? SHAUNA As much power as I have, Eric, I don't control the press. The media's not going to just sit around an not report on Hollywood's biggest star. VINCE So what are we supposed to do? SHAUNA Right now, you do nothing. No Twitter, no trips with Quentin to the New Beverly. I don't even want you to Snapchat. E Great, Shauna, so we're paying you for nothing. SHAUNA Listen you little lucky charms- hoarding prick, I wouldn't expect you to have learned this at Sbarros School of Management - E Semesters at Rutgers - SHAUNA What's the difference. Anyway, at Stanford we learned about a little something called the Streisand Effect. It's a pretty complex principle, so listen closely. If you keep trying to cover up something, more people will pay attention. The conversation will continue. If you ignore it, let the press pick a different flavor of the day - poof. E So we're just supposed to wait? SHAUNA Yes. Less is more, Eric. And fortunately, there's been nothing all that damaging from the leaks. A few fake names uncovered, some nasty emails, a few treatments leaked, but nothing incriminating. Everyone knew Ari was a conniving asshole already, and most of what's out there makes Vincent look pretty good. But leave it to me. Anyone has any questions, I'll handle them. What you need to worry about is the day-to-day shit. We can assume that all Vince's covers are blown, all of his favorite clubs are swarming with paparazzi, and fans are staking out the various properties. You have to avoid those places like Jack White avoids sunlight. Vinny looks like he's taken Shauna's advice to heart, but then acts like the daring Vinny Chase we all came to know and love. VINCE So what, Shauna? I'm just supposed to stop living my life? Isn't that exactly what these hackers want? SHAUNA It's not clear what they want, Vincent. The only information we have is that these files were dumped onto Reddit by users Charybdis, BlackManta, and OCMaster. You don't need to stop living your life. Just don't go to Sayers or Lure anytime soon. Besides, it's just for a little while. E Okay, Shauna. We'll keep a low profile. How long before this blows over? SHAUNA The fuck do I look like, Katie Couric? Who knows? We just need another story - say, how does Drama feel about leaking some nude pics? E You know he's sensitive about his legs. SHAUNA What about Turtle? Is his music business close to overtaking Spotify? Or what if he and Drama got badly injured? That'd buy some sympathy at least. E I'll pass that along. E and VINCE stand up, ready to roll out. E Thanks Shauna. SHAUNA Stay sharp, Eric. Take care, Vincent. As the two walk out, Shauna reminds them..... SHAUNA And remember, silence is golden! The door closes and we cut to INT. BOARD ROOM We're looking at the Time Warner board. ARI GOLD is under attack by board member SANDRA KIM. ARI is trying to be a bit more tactful as the CEO and CHAIRMAN OF A BILLION DOLLAR MULTINATIONAL BUSINESS. SANDRA We trust you Ari. We just don't know how long this Vincent Chase thing will go on. Or how deep it goes. Maybe it's best for you to take a little vacation. Recuse yourse- ARI Recuse myself? Sandra - ladies and gentlemen of the board - I'm the CEO - and chairman - of this corporation. SANDRA That's exactly why- ARI I know that you think I'm biased because I came up from Hollywood, but to me, the revenue from the Vincent Chase movies is a drop in the bucket. I simply believe it would draw more attention to the parent company - questions from the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times rather than the Hollywood Reporter and Variety - if I were to step down. In my career, I've been through - pardon the language - some real shit. I've had the corporate rug pulled out from under me, had former employees try to expose my..... direct approach, and even fought Gary Busey one-on-one. And you know what I've learned from all of that? What pearl of fucking wisdom I've fisted oysters to get? Just this. People will criticize assholes briefly, but they'll never tolerate a quitter. OLD WHITE BOARD MEMBER #1 Give 'em hell, Ari. OLD WHITE BOARD MEMBER #2 We're with you. ARI looks over at Sandra, recognizing that this will be a KEY CONFLICT of this season. The two will be locked in a corporate struggle until Sandra is destroyed or turned into an ally. With the leaky corporate dam temporarily plugged, we turn back to..... INT. THE BOY'S PAD TURTLE So when do you want to do this Ask Me Anything, Drama? DRAMA Whoa, there's a whole Johnny's Bananas page? TURTLE That's not a page, Drama. That's a whole subreddit. DRAMA Sweet. Uh - I don't know. I'm going to be pretty busy going over the new idea with Walsh. TURTLE Nice, how's the auteur's creative process? DRAMA It's amazing, Turtle.
