I've known you
for a million years. Everyone's watching
the run-through, and there's no spark on stage. And I don't know if that spark
got lost in the past few years, because it's not
the same person. There's no Erika Jayne. I don't feel confident
about any of it. None of it. Everyone's waiting
for you to come alive. I think that's the bottom line. And I can only do so much. There hasn't been a chance
to throw it all away and really perform.
There really hasn't. There've been notes
up until the last minute. We just put on the costumes
two hours ago. We just put it all together. Everybody's things
are coming apart. There are challenges
within the show and it feels ####ed up. Yeah, I'm not here.
Yeah, I'm not here. And I don't know if I can-- It's not your job to. - I have to do it.
- [Mikey sobbing] I have to show up for myself. We are less than 24 hours
before opening night. This is everything
that you've ever wanted. And we need to
make the most of it, because we're not gonna

pretty mess ♪ Today is a very exciting day. Today is the first day of the Bet It All On Blonde
rehearsals, a Las Vegas residency at the
House of Blues, Mandalay Bay. I'm super excited,
because between divorce, competency hearings
and indictments, and losing everything,
and bankruptcy, the last three years
have sucked. [dramatic music] Let's cut back 20 years ago, when Tom Girardi was
a successful, respected lawyer. He had a great reputation. He had a ton of cases and a ton of money
coming in and out of that firm. By all accounts, Tom Girardi
was a great plaintiff's lawyer. He just kind of
got the trick of life. The guy was charismatic. He was a sweet man. I could have never predicted that I would be in this
situation that I'm in with him. But more importantly,
that he is where he is-- disgraced,
disbarred and indicted, and in a home for... Alzheimer's, dementia.
A memory care facility. REPORTER 1: Hugely successful
and praised Los Angeles attorney
Tom Girardi, who has since been disbarred,
now in even more legal trouble. REPORTER 2:
"Fraud on a massive scale." That's how federal
investigators today described the indictments against
attorney Tom Girardi. Some of Girardi's
famous cases include representing Erin Brockovich
and representing Bryan Stow, the Giants fan who was severely
injured during a 2011 incident in the parking lot
at Dodger Stadium. Tonight he's in an Orange
County rehabilitation center, apparently suffering
from Alzheimer's, and is expected to be
taken into federal custody. So it will be up to
a federal criminal court to determine his competency. It's hard, because I remember
the warm Tom, the sweet Tom, the Tom that helped kids get
into schools, pays for tuition. I one time asked him
many years ago, "Why did you choose
the plaintiff's practice?" He said, "I didn't like
people getting ####ed over." But here we are,
20-plus years later, allegedly having
####ed over everybody. REPORTER: It's alleged
that Girardi and the CFO of his former law
firm, Christopher Kamon, stole more than $15 million
from clients. It's a massive fall from grace. I was married to this man
for over two decades. You don't shrug
that off lightly. You just don't. And when it's in the news, and it's consistently
brought to your attention, and it's talked about,
and people say things about it - and remind you...
- Hi, Erika! - How's everything with Tom?
- ...that somehow this is - all your fault too.
- Are you guys talking? He's facing 20 years, I heard.
What's your reaction to that? Yeah, I have something to say.
Just not right now. I was not prepared for
what happened with Tom. And I'm not asking
for people's empathy. None of this should've happened. I feel terrible about
the clients and that they did not receive what
they were entitled to receive. These people have been
wronged, harmed. They want answers
from a law firm that they put their trust in. I am not part of that law firm. I'm not indicted, but because of
the last few years, I'm ####ing tired, man. I'm beat down. I have self-doubt. I have negative loops
running in my head. I have negative news
coming at me. I've lost everything,
and I'm starting over. [knocking at door] Oh, Laia's here. Day one. Let's get this bread. - [Laia sighs]
- Nah? Come on. Are you excited? [laughs] - First day of school.
- You already look worn out. I found this $20 in
the front yard this morning. - Just outside?
- Yes. What does this mean? I'm just gonna take it
as a good omen, that... money is falling from the sky. - Falling from the sky. Yes.
- Right. And that's a--
There's just gonna be a few more zeros
added on to that. Several. [upbeat music] - Erika Jayne has arrived.
- [Erika laughing] Hi! I am so excited. - Thank you.
- [squealing] You're laughing like crazy. [laughing] Hi. Nice to see you.
Thanks for doing the show. Hi. Hi, love. Mikey and I
have worked together hand-in-hand for so many years. He stuck it out with me. He believed in me
when nobody did. And when I got the deal, I said,
"You know, here's the thing. "Mikey has to be the director,
and I have to have him. "It's nonnegotiable." In 30 days, we will be doing our final dress rehearsal
in Las Vegas on August 24th. So it's literally
30 days from today. And that's why also
Jamie is extra crucial. Having one person
know everything that you do. It's an insurance policy. - So--
- What'd you guys learn? You wanna show
once before lunch? - Yeah, can I do that?
- Just to get her excited. ["Night Light" by Erika Jayne

in a very short period of time. - Cut!
- It's just like the old times. Old times, but elevated. [pensive music] Hi, sweetie. Oh, no. So my old house in Pasadena
was burglarized several times. Oh, my goodness,
you're such a big boy. You're such a big boy. And Tom did not like dogs
'cause he was a paper boy and had gotten bit on
his paper route repeatedly. You wanna lay down? You know, he broke down
and finally said, "Okay." Hey. Hi. You're okay? [kisses] You okay? You smell terrible. [laughs] All right. You wanna go outside? Tiago, he's an old guy,
but he's my best friend. I mean, you know,
I don't know of a better friend. You can do it.
I believe in you. Come on, come on. Oh, Lord. Oh, no. My sweetheart. I'm trying to keep him around
as long as possible. But when Tiago goes,
it's kind of like the final thing that goes
from my old life. When I first moved in with Tom, I showed up with two garbage
bags full of clothes and my car. And my life became his life. I admired him. He was a bright man. Tom was a mentor to me. I went to him with
all of my insecurities, questions about life, questions about finance,
questions about politics. You have to have
someone in your life that you go to that you trust, and for me,
that was my husband, Tom. If you say so. - If you say--
- [both laughing] You're so bad.
But you're so good. It's funny because as a child,
I learned not to trust anyone. My mother and my birth father
were married, and then he left
when I was nine months old. So I did not know him. My mother remarried. I can remember,
I was little-ish, third or fourth grade,
my mom took me for a ride to my stepfather's work, and we were parked down
the street a little bit so we could see in. And he was meeting up with the
girl he was seeing on the side. And she was like, "Get down!"
You know? And I just remember, like,
"What the [bleep] is going on?" And so there wasn't
a whole lot of trust in men. You know? Let me just say that.
Like, I didn't have a steady father figure
growing up. I don't identify
with having a dad. Cut to, I was 29 years old. I married somebody
that was almost 60 years old. Tom made me feel comfortable
in my own skin, and I trusted him. A lot of people
trusted this man. You know what I'm saying?
Like, people thought of this man as a successful,
solid human being. But the little girl was right
the whole time. I was right. I don't know if absolute trust
is a possibility for me in life. - [knocking at door]

that wants my attention? Yes, hello? Hi. Okay. Wow. Do you have a card?

- Okay. And we'll have him reach out,
honestly, and we'll go from there.
Is that okay? All right, thank you so much. All right. Bye-bye. You gotta be ####ing kidding me. That is freaking me out. I don't know, but I'm moving. I don't have anything to say to
her that I haven't already said, which is, look, I-- you know, I knew things were bad,
and I said that, and I raised my hand,
and I said, you know, "This man is not right." It's the same thing
I've said for ####ing years and I will say all along. I don't believe that--
Now, I'm not an expert, so does that make him
competent under the law? Don't know.
I know what I lived with. I know what
I experienced with him. I know what I had to go through. Again, does that make him
competent under the law? Couldn't tell you. Did you know she was here? - Absolutely not.
- ####ing nuts. I did too at first.
I was like "Erika?" 'Cause she called my name. Who is this lady? "Office of the Federal Public
Defender, Central District"? He has a ####ing
public defender. The almighty Tom Girardi
has a public defender. I feel like I'm in the mob.
Like I never get out. I really feel like
I'm in the ####ing mafia. Like, I cannot get away
from this whole life, and I'm trying
really hard to get out, and they just keep
pulling me back in. ["XXPEN$IVE" by

live musicians on." So, how many instruments
do we need? Well,
we definitely need live drums. - Yeah, you need drums.

August 11th, "Drip Drop." Hit it. ["Dip Drop" by Erika Jayne
playing over speakers] Hot. ♪ Drip drop ♪ Yeah. ♪ You won't regret it ♪ ♪ Going side to the side ♪ ♪ To the left
to the right like ♪ Good. ♪ I'm thriving late at night.
Don't even have to try ♪ ♪ Make it look easy ♪ ♪ Underneath
the California lights ♪ Good. Everyone's going nuts!
Oh, my God! She's glowing in the dark! Holy sh##. So much better. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You happy? We'll put your boots on later. The cool thing about today
is we move to center stage, which is,
I've rehearsed there for a long time,
for many years. But we get to see the stage and
everything that was designed. And it's built and I mean,
the bare bones of it. Obviously, no screens
and lighting design or anything like that. But we actually get
to start performing and seeing these numbers,
if they work on stage. The sh## has hit the fan. [bleep] yeah. Everything's up.
All the props. - Oh, my God, I'm about to die.
- Yeah. Oh! [laughs]
Are you dying? I'm not.
I'm trying not to. I've already held back tears
for half an hour. So, you know,
I feel you on all of it. - Oh, my God.
- It's very real. I know. - [sniffles]
- I know. I know.
It's been tough. - [cries]
- All the hard work. Starts now. And they said we couldn't
have a lift. - Oh, my God.
- Look. Look.
It's so good. There's the stage that
we drew out on a piece of paper. So when you see it no longer
marked out in pink tape on the wooden floor,
it's very real now. It's holy sh##,
my show's coming up. - It's so cool, right?
- Yeah. It's so cool. You don't know.
You don't know. - Girls are in the house.
- Yeah. Jamie... Later. Later.
Light up later. - You're not crying on day one.
- I can't help it. But it's better than crying
on the day. ♪♪♪ The show's in like a few days. Yesterday, I had no
idea what I was doing and it gave me a nightmare. Okay. The bed. Look. It's going to be
spectacular. And I know this record
in and out. That's one of the reasons why
I'm having a hard time with it is because it's changed. It was choreographed
to certain sounds, but Mike comes up
with certain-- Now they're not there. If you don't give them to me, my brain goes out the window. And then a number
that I did know all of a sudden
is like in shambles. Oh, I can't believe
I forgot that. You know the great thing
about LA in the rain is... Well, no.
Not really. Nobody can drive out here
in the rain. I think that,
and they want to go fast. But today, since it's a
hurricane, it's like wide open. It's like here comes
the hurricane, bitch. ♪♪♪ - No, I did not brush my hair.
- [laughs] - No, I did not.
- You are tired. And no, I'm tired
and I don't have time. And the dog and the house, and
the legal sh## and the people. I don't have time. I don't even know this show. Well, you're about to.
Hey, guys, girls, come on over. We are going to start with
"One Hot Pleasure." Wake up, honey.
You have a slut number to do. Time for you to swirl around
on this cheap bed. From the top of the track
where it starts. Push me out. ["One Hot Pleasure" by Erika
Jayne playing over speakers] Four, five, six,
seven, and seven... -[Erika laughs]
-Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, three,
two, three, four. Everybody goes down
and stays low in an acting masculine,
sexy way. Boys, you are gone. Oh no, no,
we need to take you off, right? They should [bleep] on my face
and leave. What is your intention
behind this? -How do we sell this?
-That is their intention. I'm talking about them exiting. Because it gets very, like,
dancer all of a sudden. Well, they're done. They zip it up and leave. Are they going to do any
of the ba ba ba? Let's go back so they can wrap
their brains around it. Five, six, seven, eight. ♪ Bam ba ba bam ba
bam ba bam ba bam ba ♪ Six, seven, and. - This.
- ♪ Bam ba ba bam ba-- ♪ - No, terrible.
- That last part. The doing it and walking
and rolling and all of that. It's just not good. ♪ Bam ba ba bam ba
bam ba bam ba bam ba ♪ ♪ Bam ba ba bam ba
bam ba bam ba bam ba ♪ Snake! ♪ Bam ba ba bam ba
bam ba bam ba bam ba ♪ ♪ Bam, bam, bam,
bam, bam, bam, bam ♪ I'm not feeling very confident
about "One Hot Pleasure," which I thought would be
the easiest number for Erika and for the girls. We have done many a video,
many a photo shoot where when in doubt,
throw Erika naked in some pumps and some hair
and makeup on a bed and she is gonna work it. But there's something
that is not translating in her brain right now
and she's not giving herself permission to be owning
this moment. Stay a little bit longer
on the bed. Keep going. She's a little sloppy,
you know. - Oh, it's terrible.
- We're missing a few things. We're both saying, we're both,
we're missing things, right? So let's hear it again. ♪ Bam ba ba bam ba
bam ba bam ba bam ba ♪ It's not age. It's not like I feel ugly
or I feel like I shouldn't be doing this
'cause I'm a few years older. It's more like, like, sh##
did I get beat down so hard that I can't access
back something that is so natural for me? Feel it. The fallout from
the last three years, that steals the joy
of the creative process. Cut. We need to clean this bed
number or I'm taking it out. I don't know
what's going on with Mikey. I'm really frustrated. I've never seen Mikey
this stressed out. I don't want that because the
time to get nervous is not now. Mikey cannot do that. Two thumbs down.
Not feeling good about it. Very frustrating for me
because she's not killing it. That could ruin the whole show. We have the Dropbox.
I need you to look at it on your spare time
at nighttime just to just review it
in your brain. Otherwise, next Monday,
it's gonna be such a disaster. I'm over the steps,
we're doing it all. That's it. [thunder rumbling] One, two, three. We made it to Vegas. - [all cheering]
- Let's go baby! Hey! Bam, bam, bam!
It's not clicking up there. There's a problem here.
It's called me. - No. Terrible.
- I'm not feeling it. Less proppy, more acting. Cut.
I don't think we can do it. - Why?
- No one was killing it. I would be a liar if I said Tom's 100%
out of my mind. The sh## this man did,
the fallout is great. Now I have to pick up
and do a show. Go, go, go.
I want to see lights. I want to see a performance
from the performers. Why do I feel like
this is an execution? Let's ####ing party. [audience screaming] Erika! Erika, Erika. Erika, Erika.
