She is angry that Ricky is talking to Julian, so Ricky tries to pretend that he is talking with a customer. He then picks Ricky up with Trinity really young asking Julian questions saying she doesn't think her mom likes him. Unlike in the show when she asks him for a cigarette he hands her one. After a lot of fighting with Lucy, Julian picks him up and explains he got the camera crew because he think something's going to happen to him so he wants to show people not to follow his path.

Ricky then announces it's his last day working with Julian making Lucy happy. Ricky is also afraid if he goes to jail AGAIN Lucy will leave him. They walk around the corner and see Patrick and Julian pulls out his gun and Ricky is the responsible one in this unlike the show and tries to get him to put it away which really doesn't work. They start firing at him willingly shooting someone down to the ground while doing it.

The three start a huge shootout until Julian pins him down. He comes out and Julian shoots him, while he falls down on the ground. Julian gets the dog making a huge dramatic scene he can't shoot it and throws his gun backwards and it fires shooting the soundman.

They show themselves in jail later and there sentence is 16 months. They say they played the film in the courtroom. Julian says although he didn't die he thinks his life has been put on pause. This seems to be the turning point for Julian where he finally becomes as mature as he is in the show while Ricky stays the same.
