00:00In the middle of the night in Los Angeles, Luis falls into a train station and begins to cut a chain on the fence.
00:05Suddenly, he sees a light approaching and quickly hides his tools before he is found by a guard asking for identification.
00:12Luis comes over, pretending to cooperate, just to attack the guard so that he would not notice and steal his watch.
00:18After that, Luis goes on the run and sells the fence to the supervisor after a long negotiation about the price.
00:23Then he asks the supervisor if he employs him, using the tone of corporate jargon to sell himself.
00:28The supervisor immediately says no, so Luis asks for an unpaid practice for experience, however, the supervisor says that he will never hire thieves, which means he knows where Luis got the fence from.
00:38Later, while Luis is driving, he sees several police cars passing by, so he stops to see what it is about.
00:43It turns out that he had an accident and now the car is on fire with people still inside.
00:48At that moment, Joe and his employee come to record everything, so Luis looks very concerned and careful.
00:54When he finishes, Luis asks Joe about the job and he explains that he is a stringer, which means he is in a hurry to the place where the crime or accident occurred and records everything, then sells the footage of the newsroom that pays the most.
01:04The only thing the stringer needs are a camera and a police scanner.
01:08Finding a job, I invite Luis to ask him if he is employed, but Joe says no.
01:12The next day, Luis sees the accident on TV and becomes even more determined to get into that job.
01:17He visits the beach and waits for the guy to be shot to steal his bicycle, then they sell it to him.
01:22The owner of the stolen bicycle is not willing to negotiate the price, regardless of how much Luis insists, so instead he asks for a loan in the store and gets a camera and a police scanner at the door.
01:31That night, he uses the scanner to start listening to all the reports in the area, just to realize that he does not understand the codes and that he needs a good route to get there quickly.
01:39First, he comes to a simple arrest and the police take him away.
01:43Then he tries to record the woman who the police stopped because of the driving in a drunk state, but again the police quickly throw him out.
01:50In the end, he arrives at the scene of the deadly car theft and gets close enough to the victim to record real graphic material.
01:56This makes one policeman angry and immediately throws out Luis and the other stringer, who spoils Luis because now he can't finish the recording.
02:03Luis ignores his anger and follows him to hear his phone conversation to learn how to negotiate with new houses and how much to pay.
02:10After that, Luis goes to Channel 6 and shows a video of the director of Viesti Nini, who immediately becomes impressed with how close he came.
02:17He calls the producer Frank, but the man panics, saying that such graphic images cannot be put in the morning program.
02:23Nina says that she will only add a warning and reminds him that she is the boss, so she agrees to buy the recording.
02:28Luis tries to negotiate, but in the end he does not get as much as he hoped.
02:32However, Nina tells him that he has a lot of potential and that he just needs a better camera, because the current quality of the picture is not good.
02:39Since it is preferable to buy more than him in the future, Luis asks what is best for the rating, and Nina explains that their viewers are interested in graphic misfortune and violent crime in rich white areas.
02:49The next morning, Luis sees his video on TV and feels like he has finally achieved something.
02:54He takes the news on his computer and looks for a list of police codes on the Internet to remember their meaning.
03:00Later, he meets a young man named Rick for an interview.
03:03Again, he uses a lot of corporate jargon to ask questions and forces Rick to talk about himself, but in the end he sends him because he has a phone, knows the area well and knows how to use GPS.
03:13Luis discovers that this is unpaid practice, which caused Rick to protest, he needs at least a little money because he is almost homeless.
03:19After a long discussion, Luis agrees to pay him $ 30 a night.
03:23In the evening, Luis and Rick wait in the car while listening to a police scanner for an interesting incident, and Luis uses the opportunity for Rick to learn police codes.
03:31After many hours of nothing, they finally hear about the fire, so they hurry there.
03:35Rick needs to find the fastest route on GPS and give directions, but Luis drives like crazy and shouts at him because he is desperate to get to the scene first.
03:42Becoming very nervous, Rick accidentally gives the wrong directions and by the time they get to the right place, it's too late because the emergency services have already taken the victim.
03:50After Joe fights him for delaying, Luis gets angry at Rick and asks for better communication, so Rick begs him not to rush him.
03:56The next time they get a good shot, Luis shouts at Rick and manages to get there just in time.
04:01However, the police closed the looted house and there is nothing interesting to film.
04:05Luis refuses to give up and waits for the police to be shot, then sneaks inside the house to find bullet holes in the kitchen.
04:12He rearranges the pictures on the fridge around the hole to make it look more tragic and ends up filming the holes in the window that show the victims talking to the police.
04:20Before he leaves, he steals some unimportant mail to get the victim's name.
04:24A few moments later, Luis brings the footage to Nina, who absolutely adores him.
04:29Frank panics because it is clear that Luis has fallen inside and the names have been stolen from private correspondence, but Nina still decides to use it.
04:36From then on, Luis and Rick become successful in finding good stories and filming them to later sell to Nina.
04:42Rick finds the best routes for Luis to quickly get to the scene and Luis films every detail without shame, avoiding the police.
04:50He always watches TV to see his work on the screen and takes over all the clips to create a collection on his computer.
04:55When he gathers enough money, he buys a better camera for himself and another one for Rick so that he can film from a different angle.
05:01One night, they arrive at the scene of the car accident before the police.
05:05Luis tries to interview one of the drivers who are stalking him, because he is trying to talk to the police officer.
05:11Then Luis checks the destroyed cars and finds another driver dead in a dark area, so he starts pulling the body until it is in front of the car lights for a better shot.
05:20He films as much as he can until the police arrive and send him away.
05:24Joe sees him passing by and realizes that he lost this battle.
05:27Later, when Luis brings the footage, Nina notices that he has blood on his sleeve, but he ignores it and calls her for dinner.
05:33First, Nina rejects him, saying that she does not want to compromise their professional relationship.
05:37However, Luis implies that he will stop giving good shots if she says no, so there is no choice but to agree.
05:43The next day, Joe attacks Luis and explains that he will expand his team with more vans that work for him, so he wants Luis to join.
05:50Luis refuses, and when Joe continues to insist, Luis threatens him with violence.
05:54Angry, Joe leaves, destroying Luis' reputation.
05:57When Saturday comes, Luis has dinner with Nina at the restaurant and admits that he wants to be her lover.
06:02Again, Nina refuses, saying that it was just professional love.
06:06Luis immediately begins to quote a lot of data he found in his research,
06:10pointing out that her restaurant is the lowest-ranked and that it was his video recordings that attracted thousands of new viewers.
06:16He knows that Nina's contract is about to expire, so if she wants to be renewed and keep her job, she has to accept his offer.
06:22Nina has no choice but to start meeting Luis on the weekend to have fun together in exchange for him selling video recordings to her.
06:30Some time later, Rick makes another mistake with the route, and Luis fails to make it on time for the biggest incident of the evening.
06:36Joe and his team are the first to get all the shots, and Joe fights with Luis because of that.
06:40At the end of the night, Luis brings Nina some shots, less crime, and Nina breaks down because their rival channel will get a big story instead of them.
06:47Her bosses will be angry and it feels like she gave her body for nothing.
06:51The next morning, Luis watches Joe's video on the rival channel and becomes so angry that he breaks his swimming goggles.
06:57Wanting revenge, he decides to sneak into Joe's house and sabotage his van.
07:01That night, Luis and Rick arrive just in time to film that car accident.
07:05It turns out that this is Joe's van and he is seriously injured in the accident, so he takes him to the emergency room.
07:11Rick thinks it's wrong to film his colleague Stringer and says that Joe is one of them, but Luis doesn't stop and gets closer to film everything.
07:18Joe looks at Luis with anger as he chokes.
07:21A few nights later, Luis and Rick are fast enough to appear in a large villa that was destroyed before the arrival of the police.
07:27Luis sneaks inside and sees criminals running away from the scene, so he hides in a bush to film their faces and the registration plate of their van.
07:35Then Luis enters the house and films every drop of blood on the floor, following the track to find the bodies of all the victims.
07:41One by one, Luis makes sure to film everything, and even adds a shot of an empty bed with enough footwear for the viewer to think that maybe there is a dead baby in it.
07:50When he finds the last body, he realizes that the man is still alive, but instead of helping him, he films him before he runs away with Rick just before the police arrive.
07:58He stops the car just a few blocks away, so Luis can quickly cut out the criminals and the living victim from the shot.
08:05A few moments later, he takes a picture of the baby, which is incredibly impressive.
08:09As usual, Frank panics and doesn't even call the channel's lawyer to make sure this is legal.
08:14The lawyer explains that he is crossing the border, but until he finds the address and censors the faces of the victims, everything should be fine.
08:20After that, Luis asks for $15,000 for the video, and when Nina refuses to give him that much, he finally breaks down.
08:26It stands out that he has his power here, so from now on, she must always pay as much as he asks for without bargaining,
08:31force the hosts to give credit to his company Video Production News, and introduce Luis to all his colleagues so that he could start making connections.
08:39Nervous, Nina can only accept this.
08:42When it's finally time to broadcast live, Luis stays and watches with pleasure as the hosts mention his company while presenting the footage.
08:49The hosts also have to describe the scene of the crime, and Nina gives them signals to make everything dramatic, graphic, and scary.
08:56When it's time for the commercial break, Nina's bosses call to congratulate her and ask her to meet Luis.
09:01The next morning, Detective Cafrontieri and her partner come to Luis's apartment to ask him some questions.
09:07Luis makes up a story by saying that he heard some gunshots and went home with the intention of helping, but it was too late, so he started filming instead.
09:14He remembers seeing the van leaving, but he didn't catch the faces of the criminals.
09:18The detectives are not sure, but they can't leave anymore.
09:22After that, Luis searches the registry board on the Internet and gets the address of one of the criminals.
09:27He goes there with Rick and waits in front of the house for the criminals to come out.
09:31When Rick notices the van, he asks why Luis won't call the police right away, so Luis explains to him that he wants the criminals to go to a nicer place, hoping that they will resist and make a better story.
09:41Rick panics and says it's getting too dangerous, so he asks for more money.
09:45Luis forces him to withdraw the amount, and Rick says 75 dollars a night, which Luis immediately accepts.
09:50His reaction tells Rick to realize that he could have asked for much more, but when he tries to ask for a better amount, Luis tells him it's too late.
09:57When the criminal finally leaves the house, Duo follows him and watches him pick up his partner.
10:02Then they continue to follow them until the criminals run out of food.
10:06Luis finally calls the police, giving them detailed descriptions and saying that the criminals are armed.
10:11Chuck specifies that they are wanted guys from a known crime and offers his name as the person who found them.
10:17After Luis stops calling, Rick realizes that he will ask for the reward that the police put on those guys and asks for half of it.
10:23Luis gets mad, but he really needs another camera for additional angles, so he accepts to pay and Rick goes to the other side of the restaurant.
10:30Soon, the police arrive, and when they approach the criminals, the guys open fire, causing a gunshot that kills several people.
10:37Luis and Rick record everything while one of the criminals is also killed, and the other is injured, but he can still run and run in his van.
10:44The police immediately follow him, and Luis picks up Rick before he follows them.
10:48While Luis drives like a maniac, Rick stops recording.
10:52The traffic is so crazy that a civilian car hits a police car, throwing him out of the game.
10:58Another police car continues to follow the criminal who starts hitting their car with his van until it causes an accident that seems to be him and the police are fighting.
11:07Luis immediately rushes to record all the bodies and suddenly announces that the criminal is dead.
11:11He asks Rick to come and record everything to learn more about the terrible footage, but when Rick comes closer, it turns out that the criminal is alive and shooting at Rick.
11:19Luis does not look surprised and continues to record while the criminal gets out of the car, but before he can find Luis, he hears the arrival of the police and tries to escape.
11:27However, the police immediately shoot him and kill him.
11:30Then Luis checks Rick and records his injuries, Rick realizes that Luis knew that the criminal was alive and uses Rick to get a better story.
11:38Luis does not show remorse and takes Rick's camera after he dies.
11:42After that, Luis brings all the footage to Nina, who is delighted with all the terrible pictures.
11:46When it is finally time to broadcast live, Frank informs Nina that he is a secret, but reliable source, as if the crime in the house was not a coincidence of the mass rapists who became violent.
11:55The family was actually part of the mafia and hid illegal substances.
11:59However, Nina refuses to add that detail to the story, saying that the tragedy of an ordinary man sells more.
12:05Frank tells her that it sounds like Luis, but Nina takes it as a compliment, saying that Luis inspired them to want more.
12:11Later, the detectives of the Frontier come to the station and request footage because they are evidence, but Nina refuses to hand over the tapes without a charge.
12:17Then the Frontier leads Luis to the station to interrogate him, but he remains calm and keeps his story.
12:23The Frontier becomes more angry and severely criticizes him for his crazy and immoral work policies, but he has to let him go because there is no evidence.
12:30A few nights later, Luis gets two vans with the logo of Video Production News and employs three interns.
12:36None of them will pay, but he promises that he will not force them to do anything that he himself would not have done before starting the search for the next story.
