00:00:26,852 --> 00:00:31,556

[Erik Macarthur]:
He was somebody that cared,

was experiencing life,

22
00:01:13,098 --> 00:01:14,197

I just thought

37
00:01:38,090 --> 00:01:39,589
he was the coolest guy
in the world,

38
00:01:39,591 --> 00:01:41,992

with the movies, nothing.

Paul was always an actor

he wasn't in L.A.
He wasn't even in the country.

in the Amazon,

diving with sharks.

to the point where he wasn't
looking after himself.

made a decision

in the shop,

but he would talk to Paul.

L.A. is a big place,

and Paul grew up
in Sunland-Tujunga,

107
00:04:15,180 --> 00:04:16,179
which is definitely

108
00:04:16,181 --> 00:04:19,182
just an ordinary,
common street with homes,

109
00:04:19,184 --> 00:04:20,250
and very much
of a blue-collar place

110
00:04:20,252 --> 00:04:22,485
to grow up and raise a family.

This is serious?

00:05:10,268 --> 00:05:12,235
Yeah, it's serious.
Right here.

that, like,
ability to tell a story,

140
00:05:16,475 --> 00:05:18,174
and of course he had the looks.

141
00:05:18,176 --> 00:05:19,976
He must have landed
or got a callback

on, like, 80%
of the calls he'd go on.

One of the people that really
showed a lot of faith in Paul

144
00:05:27,185 --> 00:05:28,518
was Michael Landon.

145
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,186
Look,
I'm a stranger around here.

146
00:05:30,188 --> 00:05:31,554
You kids know the Drake plant?

147
00:05:31,556 --> 00:05:33,523
My mother's
Mr. Drake's assistant.

148
00:05:33,525 --> 00:05:34,991
She knows that place
inside-out.

He cast Paul as one part,

151
00:05:37,229 --> 00:05:38,194
I think it had to do

00:05:38,196 --> 00:05:39,195
with the ocean
and fishes and stuff,

153
00:05:39,197 --> 00:05:40,297
and then there was another one

154
00:05:40,299 --> 00:05:42,832
they needed a kid to play
in the Special Olympics.

00:05:42,834 --> 00:05:45,869

even though I was there
watching it being filmed,

ability to just feel.

Wild man.

170
00:06:27,212 --> 00:06:29,479
[Ashlie]:
When Cody came into the family,

171
00:06:29,481 --> 00:06:31,648
he was a surprise
to my parents,

172
00:06:31,650 --> 00:06:33,783
and so obviously
a surprise to all of us,

173
00:06:33,785 --> 00:06:37,721
but Paul was almost 15.

He was another
father figure to me.

180
00:06:55,741 --> 00:06:56,806
[Caleb]:
If we were going on vacation

181
00:06:56,808 --> 00:06:58,108
or, you know, for spring break
or whatever,

182
00:06:58,110 --> 00:06:59,709
we knew where
we were already going.

183
00:06:59,711 --> 00:07:01,911
We were going
to Carpinteria State Beach,

184
00:07:01,913 --> 00:07:04,014
which is just south
of Santa Barbara.

185
00:07:04,016 --> 00:07:06,249
We'd get a camp site,
tents for the kids.

186
00:07:06,251 --> 00:07:08,718
Every night we were roasting
marshmallows and s'mores

187
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,654
and doing
the whole campfire thing.

188
00:07:10,656 --> 00:07:13,657
That was
the Walker family vacation.

189
00:07:13,659 --> 00:07:14,958
Carpinteria was...

190
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,929
That's where we went
for everything.

191
00:07:19,598 --> 00:07:21,197
[Cheryl]: I would wake up
early in the morning

192
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:23,700
when it was going to be
minus tide at daylight,

193
00:07:23,702 --> 00:07:25,769
and I would get the kids up,

194
00:07:25,771 --> 00:07:28,672
and we would go out
to the tide pools.

195
00:07:28,674 --> 00:07:31,007
Paul was just fascinated
by all of that,

196
00:07:31,009 --> 00:07:36,048
and that's where his heart
always went after that.

197
00:07:37,949 --> 00:07:39,015
We had a motor home,

198
00:07:39,017 --> 00:07:40,283
but the boys always
popped up their tents,

199
00:07:40,285 --> 00:07:42,287
and there's a...

200
00:07:45,557 --> 00:07:48,692
Paul is sitting
in the opening of the tent,

201
00:07:48,694 --> 00:07:51,494
he's eating,
like, a bowl of cereal.

202
00:07:51,496 --> 00:07:53,697
- Is it good, Paul?
- Mm-hmm.

203
00:07:53,699 --> 00:07:55,765
And his little brother,
Cody, came over

204
00:07:55,767 --> 00:07:58,070
and just put his arms around him
and gave him a hug.

205
00:08:02,174 --> 00:08:04,977
Aw, now he's
giving him a hug.

206
00:08:12,050 --> 00:08:15,452
You don't forget
stuff like that.

207
00:08:15,454 --> 00:08:17,754
Say hello, Paul.

208
00:08:17,756 --> 00:08:19,024
Hello, Paul.

209
00:08:21,159 --> 00:08:22,525
- Hello, Paul.
- Hi.

210
00:08:22,527 --> 00:08:24,160
[child]: Move out
of the way, Brent!

211
00:08:24,162 --> 00:08:25,195
Don't look at me.

212
00:08:25,197 --> 00:08:27,063
He's camera shy.

213
00:08:27,065 --> 00:08:28,198
Yeah, that'd be the day.

214
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,033
[Paul Sr.]:
When Paul reached 18 years old,

215
00:08:30,035 --> 00:08:32,068
the acting thing
was, you know,

216
00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:33,069
it was...

217
00:08:33,071 --> 00:08:34,471
he really wasn't
too thrilled with it.

218
00:08:34,473 --> 00:08:36,373
All right, we're going.

219
00:08:36,375 --> 00:08:37,674
Bye, Paul.

220
00:08:37,676 --> 00:08:38,842
See you.

221
00:08:38,844 --> 00:08:40,443
[Rhett]:
In the process of walking away

222
00:08:40,445 --> 00:08:42,045
from, you know, this career

223
00:08:42,047 --> 00:08:44,581
that his mom had put so much
effort to and everything,

224
00:08:44,583 --> 00:08:47,884
um, a lot of things,
you know, went sideways.

225
00:08:47,886 --> 00:08:50,754
Money was gone
that he thought he'd earned

226
00:08:50,756 --> 00:08:52,188
to be able to go to college.

227
00:08:52,190 --> 00:08:55,458
Hey, Paul.
Look...

228
00:08:55,460 --> 00:08:56,593
Hi.

229
00:08:56,595 --> 00:08:58,194
So what is today?

230
00:08:58,196 --> 00:08:59,496
Graduation.

231
00:08:59,498 --> 00:09:02,165
Really?
And did you make it?

232
00:09:02,167 --> 00:09:03,900
[Rhett]:
There was explanations for it.

233
00:09:03,902 --> 00:09:05,368
Whether it's the truth,
I don't know.

234
00:09:05,370 --> 00:09:09,139
I think it, uh, possibly went
to his, you know, education,

235
00:09:09,141 --> 00:09:11,975
going to Village Christian,
doing all these things.

236
00:09:11,977 --> 00:09:14,144
[Oakley Lehman]: In my opinion,
he would go make money,

237
00:09:14,146 --> 00:09:15,145
and it was so easy

238
00:09:15,147 --> 00:09:16,780
that then he would
spend it easy, too.

239
00:09:16,782 --> 00:09:19,316
Yeah, definitely not the best
at managing his money

240
00:09:19,318 --> 00:09:20,317
and all that kind of stuff,

241
00:09:20,319 --> 00:09:21,451
but who would be

242
00:09:21,453 --> 00:09:23,787
if you grew up where it would
come like that?

243
00:09:23,789 --> 00:09:25,155
[Cheryl]: I was scared.

244
00:09:25,157 --> 00:09:27,624
I was scared that he wasn't
going to turn around

245
00:09:27,626 --> 00:09:28,959
and go to school

246
00:09:28,961 --> 00:09:32,395
and do the things that we had
talked about his whole life.

247
00:09:32,397 --> 00:09:33,463
[Rhett]:
He wants to figure it out.

248
00:09:33,465 --> 00:09:34,397
Let him have a break.

249
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:35,765
Here he is, 18.

250
00:09:35,767 --> 00:09:40,203
He's already been working for,
what, you know, 15, 16 years?

251
00:09:40,205 --> 00:09:41,171
You know?

252
00:09:41,173 --> 00:09:42,872
Let him go
do what he's gonna do.

253
00:09:42,874 --> 00:09:44,474
He was one of those
kind of kids

254
00:09:44,476 --> 00:09:45,608
that parents hate.

255
00:09:45,610 --> 00:09:48,712
He was fearless,
and that scared me.

256
00:09:48,714 --> 00:09:49,779
I don't mean to say

257
00:09:49,781 --> 00:09:52,682
he was amped out of his mind
on adrenaline.

258
00:09:52,684 --> 00:09:54,684
He liked to do exciting things.

259
00:09:54,686 --> 00:09:56,353
Paul was just that way.

260
00:09:56,355 --> 00:09:58,321
He got in a lot of fights
when he was younger.

261
00:09:58,323 --> 00:10:00,190
He didn't lose very many fights.

262
00:10:00,192 --> 00:10:01,458
No one messed with Paul.

263
00:10:01,460 --> 00:10:03,460
You know, you don't really
think of that as Paul.

264
00:10:03,462 --> 00:10:04,561
You think of him
as kind of like a heartthrob

265
00:10:04,563 --> 00:10:05,862
if you don't really know him,

266
00:10:05,864 --> 00:10:08,398
but, you know, Grandpa and
Father were always showing us

267
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,667
how to punch,
and, you know, all that stuff.

268
00:10:10,669 --> 00:10:11,635
He was a tough kid.

269
00:10:11,637 --> 00:10:12,769
He grew up, he had a tough dad

270
00:10:12,771 --> 00:10:14,504
that was, you know,
a Vietnam vet

271
00:10:14,506 --> 00:10:18,174
and just, uh, played all sports,
and was just very athletic,

272
00:10:18,176 --> 00:10:20,810
and-and very scrappy growing up.

273
00:10:20,812 --> 00:10:21,911
[Muxlow]: Paul's super loyal,

274
00:10:21,913 --> 00:10:24,147
so if there
was anything that would happen,

275
00:10:24,149 --> 00:10:25,315
a circumstance that would happen

276
00:10:25,317 --> 00:10:27,317
that he feels like
his friend's being threatened

277
00:10:27,319 --> 00:10:28,151
or something like that,

278
00:10:28,153 --> 00:10:29,185
there's a little bit of a switch

279
00:10:29,187 --> 00:10:30,820
that Paul could turn on,
you know?

280
00:10:30,822 --> 00:10:32,622
And it gets real serious
pretty quick.

281
00:10:32,624 --> 00:10:34,958
[Paul Sr]:
I can remember one time

282
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,661
Paul is walking to the store,
and a guy was walking out,

283
00:10:37,663 --> 00:10:40,196
and had his arms full of cans
or whatever he had,

284
00:10:40,198 --> 00:10:42,966
so Paul opened the door
so he could walk out.

285
00:10:42,968 --> 00:10:45,735
As he walked by Paul,
he goes, "Thanks, bitch."

286
00:10:45,737 --> 00:10:47,237
It was on.

287
00:10:47,239 --> 00:10:49,639
So Paul tuned him up.

288
00:10:49,641 --> 00:10:51,541
[Lehman]:
Basically K through 12,

289
00:10:51,543 --> 00:10:52,876
we all
went to the same school.

290
00:10:52,878 --> 00:10:53,743
We just grew up together.

291
00:10:53,745 --> 00:10:55,111
We got in fights together.

292
00:10:55,113 --> 00:10:57,380
We got chased by the cops
together.

293
00:10:57,382 --> 00:10:59,082
We did things where our parents,

294
00:10:59,084 --> 00:11:00,317
we'd get in trouble together,

295
00:11:00,319 --> 00:11:02,886
and by the time I became
a stuntman and was doubling him,

296
00:11:02,888 --> 00:11:06,189
it was just brothers
that grew up together.

297
00:11:06,191 --> 00:11:07,290
He told us,

298
00:11:07,292 --> 00:11:09,059
he had us around because
we'd keep him in check.

299
00:11:09,061 --> 00:11:10,694
He knew we wouldn't let him
get away with stuff.

300
00:11:10,696 --> 00:11:14,064
He saw other actors
losing touch with reality.

301
00:11:14,066 --> 00:11:15,799
Sometimes he didn't like
the answer we'd give,

302
00:11:15,801 --> 00:11:17,200
and he'd be mad at me
for a couple days,

303
00:11:17,202 --> 00:11:18,802
and then it was always better,
you know?

304
00:11:18,804 --> 00:11:20,670
[Erik Macarthur]:
I met Paul for the first time

305
00:11:20,672 --> 00:11:22,872
at some party in Glendale.

306
00:11:22,874 --> 00:11:25,508
Paul was just kind of like
this bro guy.

307
00:11:25,510 --> 00:11:26,843
"Hey, what's up?"

308
00:11:26,845 --> 00:11:28,845
He and I hit it off right away

309
00:11:28,847 --> 00:11:30,480
because he was a surfer guy
from California.

310
00:11:30,482 --> 00:11:31,514
I was from Hawaii.

311
00:11:31,516 --> 00:11:33,283
We'd both been actors
when we were kids,

312
00:11:33,285 --> 00:11:35,518
and he just automatically...

313
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:36,453
He's like, "Dude, you've got
to meet my friends.

314
00:11:36,455 --> 00:11:37,787
You've got to come hang out.

315
00:11:37,789 --> 00:11:39,122
We've got to go camping.
We've got to go surfing."

316
00:11:39,124 --> 00:11:40,790
So I was, like, "Dude, great."

317
00:11:40,792 --> 00:11:42,359
We lived in Huntington Beach for
a while,

318
00:11:42,361 --> 00:11:43,893
and that was not
healthy for him.

319
00:11:43,895 --> 00:11:46,262
There's too many guys down there
who want to fight,

320
00:11:46,264 --> 00:11:47,397
especially if you're an actor.

321
00:11:47,399 --> 00:11:49,966
Some guy on the street
that rips off his shirt

322
00:11:49,968 --> 00:11:52,702
that's 250 pounds and looks
meaner than anybody,

323
00:11:52,704 --> 00:11:53,603
Paul's going to snap.

324
00:11:53,605 --> 00:11:55,238
His acting skills would come in,

325
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,140
and he would act
for a few seconds,

326
00:11:57,142 --> 00:11:58,108
and half the time

327
00:11:58,110 --> 00:11:58,908
I wouldn't know
if the fight was on

328
00:11:58,910 --> 00:12:00,076
until it was halfway through.

329
00:12:00,078 --> 00:12:02,646
[Macarthur]:
He was living in a garage

330
00:12:02,648 --> 00:12:03,880
and the whole bit,

331
00:12:03,882 --> 00:12:07,217
and he's got this phone
that keeps ringing nonstop,

332
00:12:07,219 --> 00:12:08,251
and I'm like, "Dude,
is that, what's that,

333
00:12:08,253 --> 00:12:09,319
like, your girlfriend?
Like, what is it?"

334
00:12:09,321 --> 00:12:10,520
He's like, "No, it's another
bill collector."

335
00:12:10,522 --> 00:12:12,255
He was getting [bleep] calls
from bill collectors,

336
00:12:12,257 --> 00:12:13,456
like, every two minutes.

337
00:12:13,458 --> 00:12:14,591
It was crazy.

338
00:12:14,593 --> 00:12:16,993
And, uh, he just really
didn't have any money.

339
00:12:16,995 --> 00:12:18,628
He started getting
a lot of pressure

340
00:12:18,630 --> 00:12:23,333
to come back and do films
or TV shows, things like that,

341
00:12:23,335 --> 00:12:26,403
from his previous agent
from when he was a kid.

342
00:12:26,405 --> 00:12:27,937
[Rhett]: I talked to him
about it considerably.

343
00:12:27,939 --> 00:12:29,205
"Look at the numbers.

344
00:12:29,207 --> 00:12:30,674
You're already a commodity.

345
00:12:30,676 --> 00:12:32,542
You've already
got your foot in the door."

346
00:12:32,544 --> 00:12:34,210
Sometimes I regret
that I did it.

347
00:12:34,212 --> 00:12:36,379
[Macarthur]:
Based off his age and his look

348
00:12:36,381 --> 00:12:38,448
and his, you know,
just his vibe and everything,

349
00:12:38,450 --> 00:12:40,283
I think he kind of
knew instinctively

350
00:12:40,285 --> 00:12:41,851
that there might really
be a crack here.

351
00:12:41,853 --> 00:12:43,620
He was like,
"All right, you know,

352
00:12:43,622 --> 00:12:45,221
might as well do this for real."

353
00:12:45,223 --> 00:12:49,659
And he made some phone calls,
reconnected, got a manager.

354
00:12:49,661 --> 00:12:51,728
I remember first meeting Paul.

355
00:12:51,730 --> 00:12:52,996
His hair was...

356
00:12:52,998 --> 00:12:54,097
I don't want to say afro-y,

357
00:12:54,099 --> 00:12:57,667
but it was definitely
big curls and longer.

358
00:12:57,669 --> 00:13:00,670
He had a great sense of humor,
a lot of energy,

359
00:13:00,672 --> 00:13:04,040
like, a very magical
look in his eyes,

360
00:13:04,042 --> 00:13:07,210
and, uh, it was
kind of mesmerizing, actually,

361
00:13:07,212 --> 00:13:08,178
when he looked at you,

362
00:13:08,180 --> 00:13:09,446
but he really looked at you.

363
00:13:09,448 --> 00:13:12,349
Just a really present
human being.

364
00:13:12,351 --> 00:13:15,285
We definitely had a bond
and a trust with each other,

365
00:13:15,287 --> 00:13:18,855
and, uh, I did right by him,
and he did right by me.

366
00:13:18,857 --> 00:13:21,858
He ended up testing
for some serious films,

367
00:13:21,860 --> 00:13:24,227
and then ended up booking
"Pleasantville" shortly after,

368
00:13:24,229 --> 00:13:26,663
with a major, A-list director,
Gary Ross,

369
00:13:26,665 --> 00:13:27,697
and an incredible cast.

370
00:13:27,699 --> 00:13:30,335
[♪♪♪]

371
00:13:32,204 --> 00:13:34,304
What's all the commotion?

372
00:13:34,306 --> 00:13:35,205
Where's the cat?

373
00:13:35,207 --> 00:13:38,842
Um...

374
00:13:38,844 --> 00:13:40,210
it's, um...

375
00:13:40,212 --> 00:13:45,115
I'm a naive '50s jock, uh,
captain of the basketball team,

376
00:13:45,117 --> 00:13:47,584
the dreamboat,
the dreamboaty guy, I guess.

377
00:13:47,586 --> 00:13:48,587
[chuckling]

378
00:13:49,821 --> 00:13:51,890
I'll see you at
school, Mary Sue.

379
00:14:01,833 --> 00:14:02,668
Who's that?

380
00:14:06,604 --> 00:14:08,370
[Lehman]: He was always known
as "the vagrant."

381
00:14:08,372 --> 00:14:09,605
Always barefoot,

382
00:14:09,607 --> 00:14:12,274
shop at the surplus stores
for, like, army clothes.

383
00:14:12,276 --> 00:14:13,509
[Luber]: Paul had a truck

384
00:14:13,511 --> 00:14:14,777
that would break down
all the time

385
00:14:14,779 --> 00:14:15,611
on his way to auditions.

386
00:14:15,613 --> 00:14:16,879
He would skip auditions.

387
00:14:16,881 --> 00:14:18,280
But when he went into the room

388
00:14:18,282 --> 00:14:19,982
and he actually
met with directors

389
00:14:19,984 --> 00:14:23,218
or read with casting directors,
he executed.

390
00:14:23,220 --> 00:14:24,820
Happy birthday, Deedles!

391
00:14:24,822 --> 00:14:27,189
Whoo-hoo!

392
00:14:27,191 --> 00:14:28,991
Happy birthday
to us, bro!

393
00:14:28,993 --> 00:14:30,259
That's right,
Big 18!

394
00:14:30,261 --> 00:14:31,493
Fully legal!

395
00:14:31,495 --> 00:14:33,395
[Ashlie]:
The "Meet the Deedles" premiere

396
00:14:33,397 --> 00:14:34,463
was the first big premiere

397
00:14:34,465 --> 00:14:36,100
that, like, our whole family
got to go to.

398
00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:39,335
Pretty photogenic
yourself there, buddy.

399
00:14:39,337 --> 00:14:40,336
Look at that.

400
00:14:40,338 --> 00:14:41,236
Hi, Paul.

401
00:14:41,238 --> 00:14:42,971
How are you doing?

402
00:14:42,973 --> 00:14:44,406
What's today's
date?

403
00:14:44,408 --> 00:14:46,510
- I forget.
- March 27th.

404
00:14:47,478 --> 00:14:48,944
I remember, like,
almost crying,

405
00:14:48,946 --> 00:14:50,479
seeing his name on the marquee.

406
00:14:50,481 --> 00:14:53,415
Oh, bro, we're
a walking Kodak moment.

407
00:14:53,417 --> 00:14:55,252
It's fully
Deedle-mania.

408
00:14:57,254 --> 00:14:59,321
[Ashlie]:
We all got in our best clothes

409
00:14:59,323 --> 00:15:01,290
and met up at the family home.

410
00:15:01,292 --> 00:15:03,292
It was... it was stressful.

411
00:15:03,294 --> 00:15:04,893
Paul was dressed really nice,

412
00:15:04,895 --> 00:15:07,029
and at the last second,
had to go get a dry shirt.

413
00:15:07,031 --> 00:15:08,265
You know, like, he was worried.

414
00:15:10,134 --> 00:15:11,533
That was one of those times

415
00:15:11,535 --> 00:15:14,970
where I actually got to see
my brother really human.

416
00:15:14,972 --> 00:15:18,242
But he liked being able
to share those moments with us.

417
00:15:19,844 --> 00:15:21,343
[Macarthur]: Here's a guy

418
00:15:21,345 --> 00:15:22,511
who's getting
phone calls left and right

419
00:15:22,513 --> 00:15:23,612
from creditors,

420
00:15:23,614 --> 00:15:24,713
and right in the middle of that,
he's like,

421
00:15:24,715 --> 00:15:25,981
"Dude, I'm going to be a dad."

422
00:15:25,983 --> 00:15:28,250
And I'm like, "Oh, my god,
this is horrible, dude.

423
00:15:28,252 --> 00:15:29,985
What are you going to do?
You know?

424
00:15:29,987 --> 00:15:31,922
You've got no money,
and you're an actor."

425
00:15:35,860 --> 00:15:37,026
[Ashlie]: You have to know

426
00:15:37,028 --> 00:15:38,894
that his relationship
with Rebecca was from...

427
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:40,529
they were...
they were kids together.

428
00:15:40,531 --> 00:15:42,965
They were sweethearts,
and then they were friends,

429
00:15:42,967 --> 00:15:45,169
and they were sweethearts,
and then they were friends.

430
00:15:46,904 --> 00:15:49,304
[Cheryl]: He was scared.

431
00:15:49,306 --> 00:15:51,306
The idea of having a baby

432
00:15:51,308 --> 00:15:54,109
when he wasn't really ready
to have a baby...

433
00:15:54,111 --> 00:15:55,644
They weren't married.

434
00:15:55,646 --> 00:15:57,680
I said, "Well, you guys
could just get married,"

435
00:15:57,682 --> 00:15:58,881
because I thought
"They're in love.

436
00:15:58,883 --> 00:16:00,616
They're never going
to be apart anyway."

437
00:16:00,618 --> 00:16:02,184
[Paul]: I was taught, I mean,

438
00:16:02,186 --> 00:16:03,652
Mom and I were
going to be together,

439
00:16:03,654 --> 00:16:04,953
and I was raised Mormon.

440
00:16:04,955 --> 00:16:07,022
I was told Mommy and Daddy
were supposed to be together,

441
00:16:07,024 --> 00:16:08,257
and it was a hard one for me.

442
00:16:08,259 --> 00:16:09,525
I was so conflicted.

443
00:16:09,527 --> 00:16:10,559
I was thinking down the road,

444
00:16:10,561 --> 00:16:12,227
I was like,
I knew where I was at.

445
00:16:12,229 --> 00:16:14,763
I was into chicks and having
fun, you know what I mean?

446
00:16:14,765 --> 00:16:17,399
I was an animal.

447
00:16:17,401 --> 00:16:18,867
I want to be there.

448
00:16:18,869 --> 00:16:20,402
My heart wants to be in it,

449
00:16:20,404 --> 00:16:22,907
but the mind
just isn't following it.

450
00:16:25,076 --> 00:16:27,543
[Cheryl]: Rebecca had been
around our home so much.

451
00:16:27,545 --> 00:16:30,379
I treated her
as if she was my daughter.

452
00:16:30,381 --> 00:16:33,749
We just became a family
that's a little different.

453
00:16:33,751 --> 00:16:35,050
[Paul]:
You know, you have kids young,

454
00:16:35,052 --> 00:16:36,452
that's part of the game.

455
00:16:36,454 --> 00:16:37,419
You know,
it sounds cool and all,

456
00:16:37,421 --> 00:16:38,721
but, you know, you look back,

457
00:16:38,723 --> 00:16:40,255
and it's like
you thought knew yourself.

458
00:16:40,257 --> 00:16:42,057
You just didn't.

459
00:16:42,059 --> 00:16:43,692
Emotionally I wasn't there yet,

460
00:16:43,694 --> 00:16:47,129
because I didn't even know
who the hell I was, you know?

461
00:16:47,131 --> 00:16:49,298
Say hi, Meadow.

462
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:50,833
Wave.

463
00:16:50,835 --> 00:16:52,434
[Caleb]: He wanted to be,
like, the super dad

464
00:16:52,436 --> 00:16:54,169
and be there
as much as he could,

465
00:16:54,171 --> 00:16:57,973
but at the same time, that's
when his career went crazy.

466
00:16:57,975 --> 00:17:01,276
He was all over the country,
filming different movies

467
00:17:01,278 --> 00:17:03,746
and, you know, being gone
literally half the year.

468
00:17:03,748 --> 00:17:05,447
Quarterback Lance Harbor!

469
00:17:05,449 --> 00:17:06,315
Let's hear it!

470
00:17:06,317 --> 00:17:07,952
[cheering]

471
00:17:10,988 --> 00:17:12,821
I was lying in bed
last night...

472
00:17:12,823 --> 00:17:14,058
[women screaming]

473
00:17:16,861 --> 00:17:19,528
...and, uh,
I drifted off to sleep,

474
00:17:19,530 --> 00:17:21,263
and I had a dream

475
00:17:21,265 --> 00:17:23,265
that we were beating Bingville
14-3.

476
00:17:23,267 --> 00:17:24,299
[cheering]

477
00:17:24,301 --> 00:17:25,267
Paul Walker
is a heartthrob

478
00:17:25,269 --> 00:17:27,770
both on and off
the big screen.

479
00:17:27,772 --> 00:17:29,338
Good to have you
with us this morning.

480
00:17:29,340 --> 00:17:31,106
Okay, your movie,
"Varsity Blues,"

481
00:17:31,108 --> 00:17:32,941
big, big hit at the box
office this weekend.

482
00:17:32,943 --> 00:17:34,977
Yeah, that's so exciting.
You guys don't even know.

483
00:17:34,979 --> 00:17:35,911
How psyched are you?

484
00:17:35,913 --> 00:17:36,812
Are you recognized

485
00:17:36,814 --> 00:17:37,913
when you're
walking down the street?

486
00:17:37,915 --> 00:17:39,682
Not too much.
I mean, I'm still the new guy.

487
00:17:39,684 --> 00:17:41,250
He smells good,
just like you, Andy.

488
00:17:41,252 --> 00:17:42,117
[laughter]

489
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,085
It's good
to have you onboard.

490
00:17:43,087 --> 00:17:43,986
Yeah, thanks a lot.

491
00:17:43,988 --> 00:17:44,853
Thanks so much
for having me by.

492
00:17:44,855 --> 00:17:45,754
Just super
to have you here.

493
00:17:45,756 --> 00:17:46,855
Paul Walker,
everyone. Wow.

494
00:17:46,857 --> 00:17:47,923
25 years old.

495
00:17:47,925 --> 00:17:50,292
[Rob Cohen]:
I was casting "The Skulls,"

496
00:17:50,294 --> 00:17:52,027
and Paul comes in.

497
00:17:52,029 --> 00:17:53,929
You know, I don't...

498
00:17:53,931 --> 00:17:55,964
He's sort of like a surfer dude,

499
00:17:55,966 --> 00:17:58,100
but, you know, he looks right,

500
00:17:58,102 --> 00:18:00,636
and I said,
"Let's read this part,

501
00:18:00,638 --> 00:18:02,271
and remember, in this part

502
00:18:02,273 --> 00:18:04,506
you have to leave California
behind.

503
00:18:04,508 --> 00:18:07,376
You have to adopt
the east coast,

504
00:18:07,378 --> 00:18:10,713
and east coast
back to the Mayflower."

505
00:18:10,715 --> 00:18:13,215
So he read it, and I said,

506
00:18:13,217 --> 00:18:17,219
"We're going to have to work
on this language thing."

507
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,021
"Oh, Erik, you and I, we need
to move to New York City."

508
00:18:19,023 --> 00:18:20,856
He said it a few times, "We
gotta move to New York City."

509
00:18:20,858 --> 00:18:22,124
I'm like, "Why do we got to move
to New York City?"

510
00:18:22,126 --> 00:18:23,959
"We've got to get the
California, all this out of us.

511
00:18:23,961 --> 00:18:25,761
We've got to become, like,
sophisticated guys

512
00:18:25,763 --> 00:18:26,729
that wear, like, turtlenecks

513
00:18:26,731 --> 00:18:28,063
and sit at coffee shops
and [bleep].

514
00:18:28,065 --> 00:18:29,998
We've got to shake the "bro"
if we want to, you know,

515
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,901
if want to be taken seriously
in the film business."

516
00:18:32,903 --> 00:18:34,570
[Cohen]:
I took him aside and I said,

517
00:18:34,572 --> 00:18:36,372
"Look, I want you
to come back in,

518
00:18:36,374 --> 00:18:39,908
but please
don't blow this audition.

519
00:18:39,910 --> 00:18:43,512
Come in here
and give me the east coast."

520
00:18:43,514 --> 00:18:44,713
He came in.

521
00:18:44,715 --> 00:18:46,682
He was dressed differently.

522
00:18:46,684 --> 00:18:48,384
He was much more buttoned down,

523
00:18:48,386 --> 00:18:50,919
and he... he did it,

524
00:18:50,921 --> 00:18:52,654
and I gave him a hug,
and I told him,

525
00:18:52,656 --> 00:18:53,589
"You've got the part."

526
00:18:53,591 --> 00:18:54,456
What are you
talking about?

527
00:18:54,458 --> 00:18:55,758
I know what you did.

528
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,526
What are you talking about?

529
00:18:57,528 --> 00:18:59,161
Know where I found this?

530
00:18:59,163 --> 00:19:02,097
Hm?

531
00:19:02,099 --> 00:19:03,365
[Cohen]:
He was so good in that scene.

532
00:19:03,367 --> 00:19:06,035
He gave Josh
such a run for the money.

533
00:19:06,037 --> 00:19:09,271
He was so threatening and dark,

534
00:19:09,273 --> 00:19:10,973
and he's, "Why is that, Lucas?"

535
00:19:10,975 --> 00:19:13,108
and he was aiming these lines,

536
00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:16,311
and-and you really
felt the power.

537
00:19:16,313 --> 00:19:21,383
From the time of the cage scene
to all the rest of the movie,

538
00:19:21,385 --> 00:19:24,720
I was working with him
like an actor, right?

539
00:19:24,722 --> 00:19:27,890
Not like a pretty
California boy, you know,

540
00:19:27,892 --> 00:19:30,793
surfer dude, football jock,
you know?

541
00:19:30,795 --> 00:19:33,095
It was, like,
"you're acting now."

542
00:19:33,097 --> 00:19:34,697
He was sopping it up,

543
00:19:34,699 --> 00:19:36,799
because I don't think
any director

544
00:19:36,801 --> 00:19:41,403
had ever talked to him like
he was a legitimate actor,

545
00:19:41,405 --> 00:19:44,707
and, uh, and I knew he was,
and I did.

546
00:19:44,709 --> 00:19:46,342
[Paul]:
I feel like I really worked

547
00:19:46,344 --> 00:19:48,243
with a director
that I really clicked with,

548
00:19:48,245 --> 00:19:49,678
and when I talk to my agent

549
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,947
or I talk to my representatives
back home,

550
00:19:51,949 --> 00:19:54,083
the thing I say
over and over again

551
00:19:54,085 --> 00:19:56,318
is that I either want
to work with Rob again,

552
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,587
or I want to work with someone
just like him.

553
00:19:58,589 --> 00:19:59,888
And he goes, "So what are you
working on next?"

554
00:19:59,890 --> 00:20:02,958
and I said, "Well, you know,

555
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,427
I'm at the very beginning
stages of this thing.

556
00:20:05,429 --> 00:20:06,528
I don't know."

557
00:20:06,530 --> 00:20:08,831
And he goes, "Is there
a part for me in it?"

558
00:20:08,833 --> 00:20:10,199
I said, "I told you, yes,

559
00:20:10,201 --> 00:20:12,201
I'm developing the lead
for you."

560
00:20:12,203 --> 00:20:15,204
He goes, "Well...
Well, tell me about it."

561
00:20:15,206 --> 00:20:17,106
I said,
"Well, you're a cop

562
00:20:17,108 --> 00:20:20,843
who goes undercover
in the street-racing world,

563
00:20:20,845 --> 00:20:25,014
and instead of
doing your job as a cop,

564
00:20:25,016 --> 00:20:28,117
you fall in love
with the people."

565
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,351
"I get a gun.

566
00:20:29,353 --> 00:20:30,319
I get the girl.

567
00:20:30,321 --> 00:20:31,553
I get a fast car.

568
00:20:31,555 --> 00:20:32,921
I play an undercover cop.

569
00:20:32,923 --> 00:20:35,024
I've got a big conflict.

570
00:20:35,026 --> 00:20:38,594
What else is there
for an actor?"

571
00:20:38,596 --> 00:20:41,132
He goes, "I'm in. I'm in."

572
00:20:46,237 --> 00:20:49,373
[revving engine]

573
00:20:57,848 --> 00:20:59,081
[Lehman]:
He really liked the cars,

574
00:20:59,083 --> 00:21:00,749
and on those movies,
he got into it.

575
00:21:00,751 --> 00:21:03,018
He could tell you
what size turbos the cars had,

576
00:21:03,020 --> 00:21:04,920
or what they should do different
to make 'em better,

577
00:21:04,922 --> 00:21:06,021
and the other actors
don't even know

578
00:21:06,023 --> 00:21:08,190
how to drive
a manual transmission car.

579
00:21:08,192 --> 00:21:09,994
He did his homework
like nobody else.

580
00:21:11,395 --> 00:21:13,429
[Rhett]:
If you took Vin Diesel, okay,

581
00:21:13,431 --> 00:21:14,496
and if you've ever been
to New York

582
00:21:14,498 --> 00:21:15,698
or on the east coast,

583
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:16,865
what kind of guys
are in New York?

584
00:21:16,867 --> 00:21:17,866
The kind of guy
that's in your face.

585
00:21:17,868 --> 00:21:19,835
And then you go to Paul Walker,

586
00:21:19,837 --> 00:21:22,338
and he's like, "Yeah, cowabunga.
Kick back.

587
00:21:22,340 --> 00:21:23,205
It's all good."

588
00:21:23,207 --> 00:21:24,573
So you took each coast

589
00:21:24,575 --> 00:21:27,309
and you ended up, like,
throwing them together...

590
00:21:27,311 --> 00:21:28,477
Smoke 'em.

591
00:21:28,479 --> 00:21:30,245
[Rhett]: You know, it'd be
like oil and vinegar,

592
00:21:30,247 --> 00:21:31,847
and you've got
this great salad dressing

593
00:21:31,849 --> 00:21:33,382
for some unbeknownst reason.

594
00:21:33,384 --> 00:21:35,686
It's like, you know,
it mixed good.

595
00:21:36,754 --> 00:21:39,355
I owe you a 10-second car.

596
00:21:39,357 --> 00:21:43,225
[Cohen]: I remember sitting
on the lawn of Universal,

597
00:21:43,227 --> 00:21:44,560
Vin and Paul and me,

598
00:21:44,562 --> 00:21:46,228
doing the press junket,

599
00:21:46,230 --> 00:21:47,363
and I said,

600
00:21:47,365 --> 00:21:50,833
"You know, I think all our lives
are about to change.

601
00:21:50,835 --> 00:21:53,635
I have a feeling this film

602
00:21:53,637 --> 00:21:57,239
is going to be so much bigger
than anyone's expecting."

603
00:21:57,241 --> 00:21:58,407
I always believed

604
00:21:58,409 --> 00:22:00,743
the subject matter had a chance
to be successful,

605
00:22:00,745 --> 00:22:03,379
but when I walked
out of that screening,

606
00:22:03,381 --> 00:22:05,082
I knew he was a movie star.

607
00:22:06,584 --> 00:22:07,618
[woman screaming]

608
00:22:09,620 --> 00:22:12,755
[screaming]

609
00:22:12,757 --> 00:22:13,622
[Paul]: I'm enjoying it.

610
00:22:13,624 --> 00:22:14,823
I have a blast.
I love my job.

611
00:22:14,825 --> 00:22:15,758
I get to travel.

612
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,060
Gosh, I mean, it's just amazing.

613
00:22:18,062 --> 00:22:19,461
I mean, this has really
been going on for me now,

614
00:22:19,463 --> 00:22:20,662
like, maybe like six years.

615
00:22:20,664 --> 00:22:22,097
I think "Pleasantville" I did
like six years ago.

616
00:22:22,099 --> 00:22:24,266
Please welcome Vin Diesel
and Paul Walker. Boys?

617
00:22:24,268 --> 00:22:29,238
[cheering]

618
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,639
You know, I don't ever
want it to end.

619
00:22:30,641 --> 00:22:33,208
[Luber]: I saw the transition
immediately.

620
00:22:33,210 --> 00:22:36,311
I remember coming out
of a Detroit radio station.

621
00:22:36,313 --> 00:22:37,880
Paul and I are going
on the sidewalk

622
00:22:37,882 --> 00:22:40,315
and saw a girl
break down in tears

623
00:22:40,317 --> 00:22:41,817
that Paul
was coming out of the...

624
00:22:41,819 --> 00:22:43,919
and we looked at each other,
like, "Did that just happen?"

625
00:22:43,921 --> 00:22:45,020
You are just, like,

626
00:22:45,022 --> 00:22:47,289
the hottest guy
I've ever seen.

627
00:22:47,291 --> 00:22:48,457
Has anyone ever
told you that?

628
00:22:48,459 --> 00:22:49,725
Yeah, what are you trying
to do to me right now?

629
00:22:49,727 --> 00:22:50,993
Are you trying to make
me blush, or what?

630
00:22:50,995 --> 00:22:52,995
The ladies love
you, Paul Walker!

631
00:22:52,997 --> 00:22:54,663
Oh, my goodness.

632
00:22:54,665 --> 00:22:55,964
It's just really bizarre.

633
00:22:55,966 --> 00:22:57,800
I mean, just not too long ago,
I was...

634
00:22:57,802 --> 00:23:00,338
I was living out of a garage,
and I was panhandling.

635
00:23:02,607 --> 00:23:03,672
Hey, how's it going?

636
00:23:03,674 --> 00:23:05,541
I'm Paul Walker,
and this is my rolling crib,

637
00:23:05,543 --> 00:23:06,644
so why don't you come on in
and check it out?

638
00:23:08,046 --> 00:23:09,412
This is where we keep
all of our surfboards.

639
00:23:09,414 --> 00:23:12,481
[Muxlow]: Probably the height
of our memories of surfing

640
00:23:12,483 --> 00:23:14,083
was the Surfing Safari trip.

641
00:23:14,085 --> 00:23:15,951
We got our old beat-up
motor home.

642
00:23:15,953 --> 00:23:17,920
It was a nice motor home,
but anyways,

643
00:23:17,922 --> 00:23:19,021
we started in northern Cal

644
00:23:19,023 --> 00:23:20,823
and went down
the California coast, surfing,

645
00:23:20,825 --> 00:23:22,591
just stopping
at all the different breaks,

646
00:23:22,593 --> 00:23:24,360
the best breaks of California.

647
00:23:24,362 --> 00:23:25,828
He actually makes his...

648
00:23:25,830 --> 00:23:29,231
his first "MTV Cribs"
in our motor home

649
00:23:29,233 --> 00:23:32,001
that we went
on the Surfing Safari with,

650
00:23:32,003 --> 00:23:33,335
so it was just funny.

651
00:23:33,337 --> 00:23:34,970
It's classic Paul, right?

652
00:23:34,972 --> 00:23:36,739
Like, hanging out
in this beat-up motor home

653
00:23:36,741 --> 00:23:38,040
for MTV Cribs.

654
00:23:38,042 --> 00:23:39,909
Um, but yeah, thanks again
for coming out. Appreciate it.

655
00:23:39,911 --> 00:23:41,177
You guys went ahead
and make yourself at home.

656
00:23:41,179 --> 00:23:43,179
Take care. We're outta here.

657
00:23:43,181 --> 00:23:45,347
Being a movie star takes
a lot more responsibility,

658
00:23:45,349 --> 00:23:47,283
just the way you carry yourself,
the way you are in public.

659
00:23:47,285 --> 00:23:49,585
Paul was always willing
to take a picture

660
00:23:49,587 --> 00:23:50,686
if asked by somebody.

661
00:23:50,688 --> 00:23:52,288
He was always willing
to sign an autograph.

662
00:23:52,290 --> 00:23:54,557
He was very gracious with that,

663
00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:56,225
but it never changed his spirit.

664
00:23:56,227 --> 00:23:57,359
It never changed his heart.

665
00:23:57,361 --> 00:23:58,594
How much
of an issue

666
00:23:58,596 --> 00:23:59,695
is paparazzi
for you now?

667
00:23:59,697 --> 00:24:00,629
I guess they're
going to start

668
00:24:00,631 --> 00:24:01,497
hounding
you very soon.

669
00:24:01,499 --> 00:24:02,498
Are you
prepared for it?

670
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:03,365
I know how to hide out.

671
00:24:03,367 --> 00:24:04,767
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

672
00:24:04,769 --> 00:24:06,602
Things were not easy
for Rebecca,

673
00:24:06,604 --> 00:24:10,039
because of people realizing
who Meadow was,

674
00:24:10,041 --> 00:24:13,008
and they would come up
in the grocery store

675
00:24:13,010 --> 00:24:13,976
and try to pick her up,

676
00:24:13,978 --> 00:24:16,445
and it was a little scary.

677
00:24:16,447 --> 00:24:19,982
So she wanted
to go move to Hawaii

678
00:24:19,984 --> 00:24:23,853
to finish college
and become a teacher of art.

679
00:24:23,855 --> 00:24:24,687
[Lehman]:
And I think that was, like,

680
00:24:24,689 --> 00:24:25,988
"Wow, I've made enough money

681
00:24:25,990 --> 00:24:28,824
to be able
to pay for my baby's mama

682
00:24:28,826 --> 00:24:31,160
and my baby to be in Hawaii
and do this,"

683
00:24:31,162 --> 00:24:32,695
and it was like
a real dream of his

684
00:24:32,697 --> 00:24:34,997
for her to grow up
and learn about the ocean,

685
00:24:34,999 --> 00:24:36,198
and learn about, you know,

686
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,667
just kind of being a hippie
and learn that style.

687
00:24:38,669 --> 00:24:39,535
Paul showed up one day,

688
00:24:39,537 --> 00:24:41,337
and I
was the only one home,

689
00:24:41,339 --> 00:24:44,640
and he said, "How is a person
supposed to balance this?

690
00:24:44,642 --> 00:24:46,375
I want to be there for Meadow.

691
00:24:46,377 --> 00:24:48,878
I want to spend
all my time with her,

692
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,016
but you gotta work
while there's work."

693
00:24:55,019 --> 00:24:56,685
[Gibson]:
"2 Fast 2 Furious"

694
00:24:56,687 --> 00:24:58,921
had a bunch of women on the set

695
00:24:58,923 --> 00:25:01,257
and a bunch of women
in the city.

696
00:25:01,259 --> 00:25:05,194
To be young, handsome,
making all that money,

697
00:25:05,196 --> 00:25:08,497
the token negro
and the token white man

698
00:25:08,499 --> 00:25:09,498
in Miami...

699
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:11,767
it was, uh, it was hard

700
00:25:11,769 --> 00:25:13,636
to get a lot of work
done out there,

701
00:25:13,638 --> 00:25:15,604
you know?

702
00:25:15,606 --> 00:25:16,739
My god.

703
00:25:16,741 --> 00:25:18,607
Girl, you know your boy

704
00:25:18,609 --> 00:25:20,276
can help you
put that fire out!

705
00:25:20,278 --> 00:25:21,510
Look at the bubble on that.

706
00:25:21,512 --> 00:25:23,045
[Paul]: I don't know.
We just got along really well.

707
00:25:23,047 --> 00:25:23,946
The only problem, really,

708
00:25:23,948 --> 00:25:25,514
was, though,
we got along so well

709
00:25:25,516 --> 00:25:26,816
that we were screwing around
more than half the time.

710
00:25:26,818 --> 00:25:27,817
While you were
supposed to be working?

711
00:25:27,819 --> 00:25:29,418
Yeah, exactly.
And so we got, you know,

712
00:25:29,420 --> 00:25:30,619
John Singleton
barking at us

713
00:25:30,621 --> 00:25:32,254
every once in a while,
telling us to get serious.

714
00:25:32,256 --> 00:25:33,789
Right. What up
to John Singleton.

715
00:25:33,791 --> 00:25:36,125
In that one, I did a big
car jump over a drawbridge,

716
00:25:36,127 --> 00:25:38,627
yeah, in a little Nissan Skyline
with no suspension,

717
00:25:38,629 --> 00:25:40,398
so it was...
it was a hard landing.

718
00:25:41,432 --> 00:25:42,266
Whoo!

719
00:25:46,304 --> 00:25:47,770
He would ask me
how big the hits were

720
00:25:47,772 --> 00:25:48,871
and how much
it really hurt, or...

721
00:25:48,873 --> 00:25:49,839
you know what I mean?

722
00:25:49,841 --> 00:25:51,807
He was so curious
on that part of it.

723
00:25:51,809 --> 00:25:53,042
I like to think
that's what separates me

724
00:25:53,044 --> 00:25:54,276
from some of these other cats.

725
00:25:54,278 --> 00:25:55,878
It's like, hey, I want
to do these stunts, you know?

726
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,248
As many of them as I can,
anyways.

727
00:26:01,185 --> 00:26:02,218
Shit.

728
00:26:02,220 --> 00:26:04,620
Damn, Rome!
How do you like them apples?

729
00:26:04,622 --> 00:26:05,821
Show-off!

730
00:26:05,823 --> 00:26:08,324
[Gibson]: If you had
to look up the definition

731
00:26:08,326 --> 00:26:11,627
of ideal handsome white man,

732
00:26:11,629 --> 00:26:16,799
Paul fit every profile there is.

733
00:26:16,801 --> 00:26:20,603
Blond, blue eyes, 6'3",

734
00:26:20,605 --> 00:26:21,937
surfer dude,

735
00:26:21,939 --> 00:26:23,472
muscles at all times.

736
00:26:23,474 --> 00:26:27,209
I mean, this dude had muscles
in his kneecaps, man.

737
00:26:27,211 --> 00:26:29,480
He was full throttle.

738
00:26:34,152 --> 00:26:36,819
Some dudes where they handsome

739
00:26:36,821 --> 00:26:39,155
and they become arrogant
with it,

740
00:26:39,157 --> 00:26:40,656
and they're unapproachable,

741
00:26:40,658 --> 00:26:45,161
as a man,
he wasn't intimidating,

742
00:26:45,163 --> 00:26:50,132
because he was so regular
and so grounded and so cool.

743
00:26:50,134 --> 00:26:56,706
He was the guy that every woman
wanted to be with

744
00:26:56,708 --> 00:26:58,843
and every man wanted to be like.

745
00:27:00,812 --> 00:27:03,815
Our personalities
just clicked, man.

746
00:27:06,017 --> 00:27:09,585
We both shared this kind of
feeling, like,

747
00:27:09,587 --> 00:27:12,254
it's perception versus reality.

748
00:27:12,256 --> 00:27:15,658
I think
there's nothing more scary

749
00:27:15,660 --> 00:27:19,228
in me and Paul's eyes

750
00:27:19,230 --> 00:27:23,065
than to have someone to give you
all this good energy,

751
00:27:23,067 --> 00:27:25,367
and they have the worst
of intentions toward you.

752
00:27:25,369 --> 00:27:29,839
You run into executives
at studios all the time,

753
00:27:29,841 --> 00:27:33,042
and it's almost like...
it feels mafia. Like...

754
00:27:33,044 --> 00:27:35,711
It's like,
"Hey, oh, we love you.

755
00:27:35,713 --> 00:27:37,046
We love you.

756
00:27:37,048 --> 00:27:39,615
Get rid of him right now, okay?
Thank you.

757
00:27:39,617 --> 00:27:41,851
Hey, man!
Let's do lunch later."

758
00:27:41,853 --> 00:27:45,855
It's like, wow,
they were so cool,

759
00:27:45,857 --> 00:27:48,624
and then...

760
00:27:48,626 --> 00:27:51,627
you find out how they
really feel about you.

761
00:27:51,629 --> 00:27:55,264
And so me and Paul had plenty
of those conversations.

762
00:27:55,266 --> 00:27:57,633
[Luber]: I think after
"Fast and the Furious 1,"

763
00:27:57,635 --> 00:27:58,934
he became much more
hypersensitive

764
00:27:58,936 --> 00:27:59,769
to what he wanted to do.

765
00:27:59,771 --> 00:28:01,103
For most part,

766
00:28:01,105 --> 00:28:04,774
Paul was always conflicted
on whether to do a film or not.

767
00:28:04,776 --> 00:28:06,175
You know, I think
it's just patience.

768
00:28:06,177 --> 00:28:07,476
You know, I've gotten to
a point now where, you know,

769
00:28:07,478 --> 00:28:08,577
I'm fairly comfortable,

770
00:28:08,579 --> 00:28:09,712
and, you know, if I'm going
to do anything,

771
00:28:09,714 --> 00:28:11,280
I want to...
I want to take pride in it.

772
00:28:11,282 --> 00:28:14,617
[Luber]: Paul was screen testing
for "Superman."

773
00:28:14,619 --> 00:28:16,085
I think it was
a $10 million deal,

774
00:28:16,087 --> 00:28:18,421
and he was the frontrunner.

775
00:28:18,423 --> 00:28:19,422
I knew he was up for it.

776
00:28:19,424 --> 00:28:20,756
I knew he was thinking
about doing it,

777
00:28:20,758 --> 00:28:23,592
and I knew he did not want
to do three or four "Supermans"

778
00:28:23,594 --> 00:28:25,628
and be Superman
for the rest of his life.

779
00:28:25,630 --> 00:28:28,064
And all of a sudden,
the phone rings, and it's Paul.

780
00:28:28,066 --> 00:28:29,465
"I've got an ass on.

781
00:28:29,467 --> 00:28:32,201
I've got a cape, boots,
the tights.

782
00:28:32,203 --> 00:28:33,502
This is not me.

783
00:28:33,504 --> 00:28:34,403
I'm getting the [bleep]
outta here.

784
00:28:34,405 --> 00:28:35,938
I gotta go. [bleep] you." Boom.

785
00:28:35,940 --> 00:28:37,606
And he was gone.

786
00:28:37,608 --> 00:28:38,808
I should be out there
prospecting.

787
00:28:38,810 --> 00:28:40,042
Quit your job?

788
00:28:40,044 --> 00:28:43,312
No, I was fired,
but it's all part of the plan.

789
00:28:43,314 --> 00:28:44,613
I'm just going
to get this thing going,

790
00:28:44,615 --> 00:28:46,982
get the boat shaped up,

791
00:28:46,984 --> 00:28:48,617
get out there, make a big find,

792
00:28:48,619 --> 00:28:50,653
and we'll live the rest
of our lives on our own clocks.

793
00:28:50,655 --> 00:28:52,755
[Luber]:
Paul, he loved the water.

794
00:28:52,757 --> 00:28:53,823
He loved to scuba dive.

795
00:28:53,825 --> 00:28:55,624
He loved action.

796
00:28:55,626 --> 00:28:57,927
"Into the Blue"
checked a lot of the boxes.

797
00:28:57,929 --> 00:28:59,428
I think it started off
as a good script

798
00:28:59,430 --> 00:29:00,429
and everything like that.

799
00:29:00,431 --> 00:29:01,764
I'm not saying
he didn't like the movie,

800
00:29:01,766 --> 00:29:03,999
but definitely did that one
for the location and the time.

801
00:29:04,001 --> 00:29:05,201
To be able to go to the Bahamas

802
00:29:05,203 --> 00:29:07,002
and rent a big fat house
on the water

803
00:29:07,004 --> 00:29:09,173
and work with cool people...

804
00:29:10,908 --> 00:29:11,907
He loved the ocean.

805
00:29:11,909 --> 00:29:13,843
He loved the water
more than anything.

806
00:29:13,845 --> 00:29:15,144
I mean, going out on his boat
and stuff

807
00:29:15,146 --> 00:29:16,946
was so fun for him.

808
00:29:16,948 --> 00:29:19,482
He got hurt on that show
on his day off.

809
00:29:19,484 --> 00:29:22,184
Wake-surfing behind the boat,
and twisted his knee.

810
00:29:22,186 --> 00:29:23,786
He was just
very honest and pure.

811
00:29:23,788 --> 00:29:25,054
He just wrapped it with ice

812
00:29:25,056 --> 00:29:26,889
and came in straight away
and told them, and then, like,

813
00:29:26,891 --> 00:29:29,325
"No, I'll just finish the show,
and we'll make it work."

814
00:29:29,327 --> 00:29:32,630
Did not want to get surgery
and get it handled then.

815
00:29:36,501 --> 00:29:37,600
[Luber]:
When we were offered a film

816
00:29:37,602 --> 00:29:38,667
and Paul was considering it,

817
00:29:38,669 --> 00:29:41,170
it was always
a major process to...

818
00:29:41,172 --> 00:29:42,505
to get to the starting line.

819
00:29:42,507 --> 00:29:44,673
It was never easy.

820
00:29:44,675 --> 00:29:46,142
We saw "Running Scared"
as a vehicle

821
00:29:46,144 --> 00:29:47,610
with a great filmmaker

822
00:29:47,612 --> 00:29:49,478
that could put Paul
in a grittier light.

823
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,147
[Paul]:
When they told me, they said,

824
00:29:51,149 --> 00:29:53,416
"Hey, look, uh,
you really have to read this,"

825
00:29:53,418 --> 00:29:54,617
their words were,

826
00:29:54,619 --> 00:29:55,818
"This is exactly what
you've been looking for,"

827
00:29:55,820 --> 00:29:57,520
and I was like, "Oh, really?"

828
00:29:57,522 --> 00:29:59,655
So it was either
we understood each other

829
00:29:59,657 --> 00:30:01,624
and we were going to be working
together for a long time,

830
00:30:01,626 --> 00:30:03,859
or we were going
our separate ways, you know?

831
00:30:03,861 --> 00:30:04,693
[baby crying]
What's your name?

832
00:30:04,695 --> 00:30:06,028
Conchita.

833
00:30:06,030 --> 00:30:07,363
Conchita.

834
00:30:07,365 --> 00:30:10,566
Now, you listen to me, Conchita,
you listen to me real good.

835
00:30:10,568 --> 00:30:12,034
I don't want to hurt Manny.

836
00:30:12,036 --> 00:30:14,603
Until he was proposed
for "Running Scared,"

837
00:30:14,605 --> 00:30:15,638
it wasn't somebody

838
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,307
that I thought
was ideal for the film.

839
00:30:18,309 --> 00:30:20,142
The Fast and Furious,
they were entertaining movies,

840
00:30:20,144 --> 00:30:21,210
but they had more of

841
00:30:21,212 --> 00:30:23,479
a comic book, cartoonish
kind of feel to it.

842
00:30:23,481 --> 00:30:24,747
[Lehman]: As silly as it is,

843
00:30:24,749 --> 00:30:27,049
I actually think that was
more of who he was, you know?

844
00:30:27,051 --> 00:30:30,019
Fighting bad people for the law,
like a good guy,

845
00:30:30,021 --> 00:30:33,155
where Brian O'Conner was a narc
that undermined the driving,

846
00:30:33,157 --> 00:30:36,258
so he was really never stoked
on Brian O'Conner.

847
00:30:36,260 --> 00:30:37,593
"Fast and Furious" fans
will hate that,

848
00:30:37,595 --> 00:30:38,861
but you know what I mean?

849
00:30:38,863 --> 00:30:39,762
Paul committed to the movie,

850
00:30:39,764 --> 00:30:41,197
we start pre-production,

851
00:30:41,199 --> 00:30:42,598
trigger the financing,
everything,

852
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,366
and then I can't hold of Paul.

853
00:30:44,368 --> 00:30:45,601
The clock is ticking.

854
00:30:45,603 --> 00:30:47,470
Uh, we're weeks into
preproduction.

855
00:30:47,472 --> 00:30:48,704
We're getting ready to start.

856
00:30:48,706 --> 00:30:52,108
Finally I'm like, "If Paul
doesn't call me this week,

857
00:30:52,110 --> 00:30:53,709
we're recasting the movie."

858
00:30:53,711 --> 00:30:56,445
It's, "You have 24 hours."

859
00:30:56,447 --> 00:30:57,613
"What's going on?

860
00:30:57,615 --> 00:30:59,148
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?"

861
00:30:59,150 --> 00:31:02,685
Like, he's calling everybody,
like, around the clock,

862
00:31:02,687 --> 00:31:03,721
because he can't reach him.

863
00:31:09,824 --> 00:31:10,823
[Kramer]:
Paul finally calls me,

864
00:31:10,825 --> 00:31:12,058
and he goes, "Hey, Wayne,
how's it going?"

865
00:31:12,060 --> 00:31:13,893
I said, "Paul, I've been trying
to get hold of you,"

866
00:31:13,895 --> 00:31:15,828
and he goes, "Yeah, sorry
about that, I've been..."

867
00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:16,896
I don't even
remember where he was.

868
00:31:16,898 --> 00:31:17,997
"But don't worry.

869
00:31:17,999 --> 00:31:19,866
I'm going to come to set
a couple of days before.

870
00:31:19,868 --> 00:31:21,167
We'll figure it all out,

871
00:31:21,169 --> 00:31:23,803
and I'll be there for you
1,000% every day,"

872
00:31:23,805 --> 00:31:25,038
and he was right.

873
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,239
You know anything about a gun?

874
00:31:26,241 --> 00:31:27,540
- No, no.
- No?

875
00:31:27,542 --> 00:31:29,442
No, it's lot five,
number 602.

876
00:31:29,444 --> 00:31:30,343
That's where he is.

877
00:31:30,345 --> 00:31:31,244
Okay.

878
00:31:31,246 --> 00:31:32,211
[Kramer]:
We have to do the scene

879
00:31:32,213 --> 00:31:33,246
where Paul, uh,

880
00:31:33,248 --> 00:31:35,748
tracks down
the janitor's home address,

881
00:31:35,750 --> 00:31:37,917
and he... he knocks on the door,

882
00:31:37,919 --> 00:31:39,686
and then
she's holding a newborn baby.

883
00:31:39,688 --> 00:31:41,487
- [baby crying]
- You don't call Manny.

884
00:31:41,489 --> 00:31:42,922
You don't tell Manny I'm coming.

885
00:31:42,924 --> 00:31:44,090
You don't warn him for anything,

886
00:31:44,092 --> 00:31:46,192
because if you do,
I'm going to come back here!

887
00:31:46,194 --> 00:31:47,694
As soon as we call "cut,"

888
00:31:47,696 --> 00:31:49,395
the baby's mother
rushes onto the set,

889
00:31:49,397 --> 00:31:50,930
grabs the baby up,
sweeps it off,

890
00:31:50,932 --> 00:31:53,399
and everybody on the set
is, like, "This is intense.

891
00:31:53,401 --> 00:31:54,233
This is too far."

892
00:31:54,235 --> 00:31:55,301
Then Paul comes over,

893
00:31:55,303 --> 00:31:56,869
he drops down next to me
behind the monitor,

894
00:31:56,871 --> 00:31:58,104
and he bursts out laughing,

895
00:31:58,106 --> 00:31:59,339
and he's, like,
almost hysterical.

896
00:31:59,341 --> 00:32:01,576
He goes,
"This is so [bleep] up."

897
00:32:04,279 --> 00:32:05,979
[Lehman]: He was always
a little bit risky,

898
00:32:05,981 --> 00:32:07,113
and a lot of times he'd, like,

899
00:32:07,115 --> 00:32:08,781
break a finger
or break a bone in his hand

900
00:32:08,783 --> 00:32:10,049
at the beginning of the movie,

901
00:32:10,051 --> 00:32:12,085
and he wouldn't say anything
to anybody the whole time.

902
00:32:12,087 --> 00:32:13,019
Inside he liked it,

903
00:32:13,021 --> 00:32:14,053
because it
gave him a little pain,

904
00:32:14,055 --> 00:32:14,921
something to react to.

905
00:32:14,923 --> 00:32:16,589
I don't want to sell pain.

906
00:32:16,591 --> 00:32:18,558
I don't have to act pain.
Hurt me.

907
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:19,726
That was who he was.

908
00:32:19,728 --> 00:32:21,127
Paul was a real tough guy.

909
00:32:21,129 --> 00:32:22,629
He wouldn't back down
for anybody.

910
00:32:22,631 --> 00:32:26,599
He just had an aura
of, uh, intensity about him.

911
00:32:26,601 --> 00:32:29,636
[Luber]: Paul loved the making
of "Running Scared."

912
00:32:29,638 --> 00:32:30,737
He loved the finished product
of "Running Scared."

913
00:32:30,739 --> 00:32:32,605
He really respected Wayne.

914
00:32:32,607 --> 00:32:34,140
[Kramer]:
Every day I'd be saying,

915
00:32:34,142 --> 00:32:36,142
"God, we've got to get
a technocrane for this,"

916
00:32:36,144 --> 00:32:37,510
and the line producer would go,

917
00:32:37,512 --> 00:32:38,344
"We've got no more money
in the budget,

918
00:32:38,346 --> 00:32:39,512
so forget about it."

919
00:32:39,514 --> 00:32:41,981
The next day, there'd be
a technocrane on set,

920
00:32:41,983 --> 00:32:43,518
and I'd be like, "Great,
we got the technocrane."

921
00:32:45,253 --> 00:32:47,320
I would find out afterwards
Paul was paying for it all.

922
00:32:47,322 --> 00:32:48,421
Paul was saying,

923
00:32:48,423 --> 00:32:51,591
"Don't tell Wayne
where this is coming from."

924
00:32:51,593 --> 00:32:53,059
So...
I mean, that's who Paul was.

925
00:32:53,061 --> 00:32:54,527
He was a super generous guy.

926
00:32:54,529 --> 00:32:57,664
When he finished filming
"Running Scared,"

927
00:32:57,666 --> 00:32:59,332
he said, "You know what?

928
00:32:59,334 --> 00:33:01,634
This is what I needed,

929
00:33:01,636 --> 00:33:04,537
but I'm still, like, all gnarly.

930
00:33:04,539 --> 00:33:05,605
I've got to get it out of me.

931
00:33:05,607 --> 00:33:06,474
I've gotta go surf."

932
00:33:09,044 --> 00:33:11,077
[Macarthur]: He called me up
one time and said, "Dude."

933
00:33:11,079 --> 00:33:12,145
I don't know where he was,

934
00:33:12,147 --> 00:33:13,279
but he was like,
"I gotta get in the water."

935
00:33:13,281 --> 00:33:14,847
Call it the negative ions.

936
00:33:14,849 --> 00:33:16,015
Call it whatever it is.

937
00:33:16,017 --> 00:33:18,184
He felt anxious.

938
00:33:18,186 --> 00:33:20,820
♪ Come wind like water

939
00:33:20,822 --> 00:33:25,558
♪ Come howl
as I cut through your tide ♪

940
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:26,492
He loved his time off,

941
00:33:26,494 --> 00:33:27,694
and would just disappear

942
00:33:27,696 --> 00:33:29,295
and check away
from all of us, actually.

943
00:33:29,297 --> 00:33:30,863
♪ Come feet come faster

944
00:33:30,865 --> 00:33:36,502
♪ Leave sweet ordinary behind

945
00:33:36,504 --> 00:33:37,537
[Macarthur]: Paul wasn't a guy

946
00:33:37,539 --> 00:33:39,672
who was off getting,
you know, [bleep] up

947
00:33:39,674 --> 00:33:41,808
or doing anything crazy
or any of the rest of it.

948
00:33:41,810 --> 00:33:42,978
He just knew
when he needed a break.

949
00:33:44,980 --> 00:33:51,019
♪ Go, go, go

950
00:33:53,088 --> 00:33:59,027
♪ Go, go, go

951
00:34:01,529 --> 00:34:02,862
[Muxlow]: I think that
wasn't as much of an escape

952
00:34:02,864 --> 00:34:05,531
as just going back to reality.

953
00:34:05,533 --> 00:34:06,633
That was real for him.

954
00:34:06,635 --> 00:34:08,534
A lot of times, you know,
you get good waves

955
00:34:08,536 --> 00:34:10,236
and they could be
in nice places,

956
00:34:10,238 --> 00:34:11,504
and in some
pretty impoverished places,

957
00:34:11,506 --> 00:34:16,476
and I think it exposed the world
to him in a tangible way.

958
00:34:16,478 --> 00:34:18,311
A lot of the times
in his movie career

959
00:34:18,313 --> 00:34:21,848
he'd be just, like, "Enough.
I'm out. I'm outta here."

960
00:34:21,850 --> 00:34:22,982
He's definitely
not a puppet.

961
00:34:22,984 --> 00:34:24,183
You know?

962
00:34:24,185 --> 00:34:25,218
He's definitely not somebody

963
00:34:25,220 --> 00:34:26,920
that's gonna just
be told to do something

964
00:34:26,922 --> 00:34:27,754
and then do it.

965
00:34:27,756 --> 00:34:29,357
♪ I'll go

966
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:33,960
He didn't like
just going to a press line

967
00:34:33,962 --> 00:34:36,763
and talking about himself
and the movie and the role.

968
00:34:36,765 --> 00:34:38,900
He wanted to talk about things
that he really cared about.

969
00:34:40,268 --> 00:34:41,167
[Michael Domeier]:
When I met Paul,

970
00:34:41,169 --> 00:34:42,535
I was about 10 years

971
00:34:42,537 --> 00:34:45,104
into a great white shark
research project

972
00:34:45,106 --> 00:34:46,572
at Guadalupe Island.

973
00:34:46,574 --> 00:34:48,641
When Paul joined us
for an expedition,

974
00:34:48,643 --> 00:34:50,510
we were catching
these big females

975
00:34:50,512 --> 00:34:52,845
and attaching these satellite
transmitters to them.

976
00:34:52,847 --> 00:34:53,913
[Paul]:
Basically we were hauling up

977
00:34:53,915 --> 00:34:56,349
giant monsters from the abyss,

978
00:34:56,351 --> 00:34:57,317
great white shark,

979
00:34:57,319 --> 00:34:59,886
anywhere from
15 to 18 feet, you know,

980
00:34:59,888 --> 00:35:00,887
over 4,000 pounds,

981
00:35:00,889 --> 00:35:03,156
all in the name of science.

982
00:35:03,158 --> 00:35:04,390
[Domeier]: The first time

983
00:35:04,392 --> 00:35:07,260
Paul saw a white shark
get pulled out of the water,

984
00:35:07,262 --> 00:35:09,762
he was like a little kid.

985
00:35:09,764 --> 00:35:11,731
Hey, Mom, look at me.

986
00:35:11,733 --> 00:35:15,134
[Domeier]: His face
was the biggest childish grin.

987
00:35:15,136 --> 00:35:17,236
I will never forget
the look on his face.

988
00:35:17,238 --> 00:35:19,505
The estimation was 16 foot.

989
00:35:19,507 --> 00:35:21,741
Looking out on the water,
it's 16'5".

990
00:35:21,743 --> 00:35:23,042
Nice.

991
00:35:23,044 --> 00:35:24,777
That's it, dude!
That's what we needed!

992
00:35:24,779 --> 00:35:25,945
You're so stoked,
your hands are shaking.

993
00:35:25,947 --> 00:35:28,715
Yeah, I'm trembling inside.

994
00:35:28,717 --> 00:35:30,617
This was his
very first opportunity

995
00:35:30,619 --> 00:35:32,085
to see a white shark
right up close.

996
00:35:32,087 --> 00:35:33,253
I mean, you can touch it.

997
00:35:33,255 --> 00:35:34,954
That'll get your
heart rate going.

998
00:35:34,956 --> 00:35:35,989
[Caleb]: He had a blast.

999
00:35:35,991 --> 00:35:38,725
That's where he was
in his top element.

1000
00:35:38,727 --> 00:35:42,929
It was way more important
to talk about that

1001
00:35:42,931 --> 00:35:44,264
than it was any movie.

1002
00:35:44,266 --> 00:35:45,498
Adventure.

1003
00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:47,634
Hey, man, I've jumped out
of helicopters, you know?

1004
00:35:47,636 --> 00:35:50,603
Snowboarded in, like, plush
champagne powder, you know?

1005
00:35:50,605 --> 00:35:52,138
I've done all that cool stuff.

1006
00:35:52,140 --> 00:35:53,806
Dropped in on waves, you know?

1007
00:35:53,808 --> 00:35:55,808
Twenty-foot-plus faces,
you know?

1008
00:35:55,810 --> 00:35:58,511
And this still takes the trophy,
I'm telling you.

1009
00:35:58,513 --> 00:35:59,846
Our common ground
was the ocean.

1010
00:35:59,848 --> 00:36:01,514
We both loved to fish,
loved to spearfish,

1011
00:36:01,516 --> 00:36:03,283
loved to dive, loved to surf.

1012
00:36:03,285 --> 00:36:04,851
By the time he got off the boat,

1013
00:36:04,853 --> 00:36:07,020
I had a whole new respect
for Paul.

1014
00:36:07,022 --> 00:36:08,354
He started making plans

1015
00:36:08,356 --> 00:36:10,323
on "How can I really
have an impact...

1016
00:36:10,325 --> 00:36:12,525
Paul Walker have an impact
on the ocean?"

1017
00:36:12,527 --> 00:36:13,993
And he knew he couldn't
do it by himself.

1018
00:36:13,995 --> 00:36:15,995
Whoo!

1019
00:36:15,997 --> 00:36:17,363
[Paul]: You know,
I've traveled the world.

1020
00:36:17,365 --> 00:36:18,665
I've been to a bunch of places.

1021
00:36:18,667 --> 00:36:20,199
I've-I've experienced a lot,

1022
00:36:20,201 --> 00:36:25,872
but nothing compares to
what I experienced on this trip.

1023
00:36:25,874 --> 00:36:28,474
I'd walk away from it all
to do this full-time.

1024
00:36:28,476 --> 00:36:31,477
He'd always say, like,
"I wanted to be a park ranger,

1025
00:36:31,479 --> 00:36:32,979
you know, make 28 grand a year,

1026
00:36:32,981 --> 00:36:34,180
and, like,
live in the wilderness."

1027
00:36:34,182 --> 00:36:36,215
Like, that's really
what he wanted to do.

1028
00:36:36,217 --> 00:36:37,483
[Luber]:
Paul looked around hard

1029
00:36:37,485 --> 00:36:38,584
where he wanted to settle down,

1030
00:36:38,586 --> 00:36:39,986
'cause he was very nomadic.

1031
00:36:39,988 --> 00:36:41,590
Santa Barbara
is a special place.

1032
00:36:45,026 --> 00:36:46,059
[Paul]: Most of my time

1033
00:36:46,061 --> 00:36:48,194
is spent, you know,
Santa Barbara north.

1034
00:36:48,196 --> 00:36:50,163
As I've grown older,

1035
00:36:50,165 --> 00:36:54,867
I appreciate more where
it's more lush and more green.

1036
00:36:54,869 --> 00:36:57,103
There's nowhere else like it
on Earth.

1037
00:36:57,105 --> 00:36:58,740
It's... it's unique.

1038
00:37:00,075 --> 00:37:02,742
[Caleb]: Santa Barbara to Paul
was like his safe haven.

1039
00:37:02,744 --> 00:37:06,446
350 acres
just up above Carpinteria.

1040
00:37:06,448 --> 00:37:07,447
[Rhett]: He had a place

1041
00:37:07,449 --> 00:37:08,448
where he could
go up there and hide

1042
00:37:08,450 --> 00:37:10,750
and run around, get muddy,
and plant trees,

1043
00:37:10,752 --> 00:37:13,088
and, you know,
just do guy shit, you know?

1044
00:37:18,693 --> 00:37:20,862
[laughter]

1045
00:37:22,530 --> 00:37:23,830
What?

1046
00:37:23,832 --> 00:37:25,865
You almost
lost it.

1047
00:37:25,867 --> 00:37:27,869
Oh, I thought
I was going for sure.

1048
00:37:35,106 --> 00:37:36,139
[Luber]:
Paul liked to race cars...

1049
00:37:36,141 --> 00:37:37,340
not street racing,

1050
00:37:37,342 --> 00:37:38,944
but really
race cars on tracks.

1051
00:37:41,179 --> 00:37:43,079
[Sean Lee]:
Our common interest was cars.

1052
00:37:43,081 --> 00:37:44,747
Cars brought us together.

1053
00:37:44,749 --> 00:37:45,915
He walked over to me,

1054
00:37:45,917 --> 00:37:48,918
go, "Hey, are you the guy
that just bought my GT3?"

1055
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,321
And, "Yeah," I told him
that I'm the guy,

1056
00:37:51,323 --> 00:37:53,289
and I also told him
that, you know,

1057
00:37:53,291 --> 00:37:56,259
a man should never sell a GT3
in his life,

1058
00:37:56,261 --> 00:37:59,329
and from that moment on,
we become close friends.

1059
00:37:59,331 --> 00:38:01,898
Really good driver,
conscientious at all times.

1060
00:38:01,900 --> 00:38:05,168
He talked about it,
he... you know, regularly,

1061
00:38:05,170 --> 00:38:06,870
"I need to be that role model.

1062
00:38:06,872 --> 00:38:09,139
I need to practice
what I preach."

1063
00:38:09,141 --> 00:38:10,540
[Lee]:
He's an adrenaline junkie,

1064
00:38:10,542 --> 00:38:11,541
if you know him.

1065
00:38:11,543 --> 00:38:13,009
He loves adrenaline.

1066
00:38:13,011 --> 00:38:14,410
He loves things that's fast.

1067
00:38:14,412 --> 00:38:15,912
"Always Evolving,"

1068
00:38:15,914 --> 00:38:18,047
Paul built that
along with Roger.

1069
00:38:18,049 --> 00:38:19,415
They put together a team,

1070
00:38:19,417 --> 00:38:20,750
and he started hanging around
more and more

1071
00:38:20,752 --> 00:38:21,918
with professional drivers,

1072
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,186
and he started

1073
00:38:23,188 --> 00:38:26,156
really, really learning
a lot of great skills with cars,

1074
00:38:26,158 --> 00:38:27,757
because look, back in the day,

1075
00:38:27,759 --> 00:38:30,226
we have a lot of famous actors,
they're race car drivers.

1076
00:38:30,228 --> 00:38:31,761
Steve McQueen, right?

1077
00:38:31,763 --> 00:38:32,862
You have Paul Newman.

1078
00:38:32,864 --> 00:38:35,732
He went from a movie character

1079
00:38:35,734 --> 00:38:39,235
to really become
a race car driver.

1080
00:38:39,237 --> 00:38:40,772
A lot of respect for that.

1081
00:38:43,275 --> 00:38:46,543
He'd get to go to the track,
spend a day being himself,

1082
00:38:46,545 --> 00:38:50,213
talk some trash, and, you know,
who's fast, who's not fast.

1083
00:38:50,215 --> 00:38:51,347
[Kramer]:
I remember going and seeing

1084
00:38:51,349 --> 00:38:53,650
his private collection of cars
up in Valencia,

1085
00:38:53,652 --> 00:38:55,351
and there's
an amazing amount of cars.

1086
00:38:55,353 --> 00:38:57,220
It wasn't even pretentious cars.

1087
00:38:57,222 --> 00:38:58,354
He wouldn't go for, like,

1088
00:38:58,356 --> 00:39:00,924
the most expensive Ferrari
or whatever it was.

1089
00:39:00,926 --> 00:39:04,060
He liked
his Japanese racing cars.

1090
00:39:04,062 --> 00:39:05,628
[Lehman]: He truly loved
the Nissan Skyline

1091
00:39:05,630 --> 00:39:06,496
and those kind of cars

1092
00:39:06,498 --> 00:39:07,697
more than muscle cars.

1093
00:39:07,699 --> 00:39:09,933
He liked the technical part
and the better brakes

1094
00:39:09,935 --> 00:39:11,434
and all the stuff,

1095
00:39:11,436 --> 00:39:13,369
but then, really, what he drove
in his everyday life

1096
00:39:13,371 --> 00:39:14,537
was the Tacoma truck.

1097
00:39:14,539 --> 00:39:16,372
He wanted somebody to cr...
you know, ding him,

1098
00:39:16,374 --> 00:39:17,474
and he'd be,
like, "Don't worry about it,"

1099
00:39:17,476 --> 00:39:18,441
and they'd just be shocked.

1100
00:39:18,443 --> 00:39:20,276
[Cody]:
If he was here right now,

1101
00:39:20,278 --> 00:39:24,314
and, you know, had
something cool parked outside

1102
00:39:24,316 --> 00:39:26,916
and you made a comment
about how cool his car is,

1103
00:39:26,918 --> 00:39:29,319
he would literally
throw the keys at you

1104
00:39:29,321 --> 00:39:31,087
and say, just,
"Cool, go have fun."

1105
00:39:31,089 --> 00:39:34,023
It didn't matter, like, when he
didn't have anything at all,

1106
00:39:34,025 --> 00:39:36,125
and then when he had everything.

1107
00:39:36,127 --> 00:39:38,497
Like, nothing about him changed.

1108
00:39:40,098 --> 00:39:42,601
[accelerating]

1109
00:39:46,438 --> 00:39:49,139
Paul had a passage
from George Bernard Shaw

1110
00:39:49,141 --> 00:39:52,342
that said, you know,
"I want to be all used up."

1111
00:39:52,344 --> 00:39:54,210
You know, "I'm not just
some flickering candle.

1112
00:39:54,212 --> 00:39:55,512
I'm going to be a torch,

1113
00:39:55,514 --> 00:39:57,480
and when I'm done,

1114
00:39:57,482 --> 00:39:59,315
I want to be thrown,
completely used,

1115
00:39:59,317 --> 00:40:01,050
on the trash heap of life,"

1116
00:40:01,052 --> 00:40:05,121
and, uh... I can actually say
he did a lot of things

1117
00:40:05,123 --> 00:40:06,089
that made a lot of difference

1118
00:40:06,091 --> 00:40:08,625
in a lot of people's lives,
you know?

1119
00:40:08,627 --> 00:40:10,228
He... he was a giver.

1120
00:40:12,564 --> 00:40:14,699
[sirens wailing]

1121
00:40:17,435 --> 00:40:21,538
[Cody]: That massive earthquake
in January of 2010,

1122
00:40:21,540 --> 00:40:25,942
Paul was frustrated with, like,
"Well, what can I do?"

1123
00:40:25,944 --> 00:40:28,111
He made some phone calls,

1124
00:40:28,113 --> 00:40:31,714
got friends that knew firemen,
paramedics, EMTs.

1125
00:40:31,716 --> 00:40:35,018
[David Marquez]: Within
the firefighting community,

1126
00:40:35,020 --> 00:40:36,753
there's kind of a group
within a group of guys

1127
00:40:36,755 --> 00:40:38,087
who sign up

1128
00:40:38,089 --> 00:40:40,256
because they're willing
to literally go anywhere.

1129
00:40:40,258 --> 00:40:43,026
We remember watching
Hurricane Katrina happen,

1130
00:40:43,028 --> 00:40:44,027
Hurricane Rita,

1131
00:40:44,029 --> 00:40:45,628
and being frustrated,

1132
00:40:45,630 --> 00:40:49,032
and so the same thing happened
in 2010

1133
00:40:49,034 --> 00:40:51,367
when the earthquake hit Haiti.

1134
00:40:51,369 --> 00:40:53,203
That's when
one of Paul's childhood friends

1135
00:40:53,205 --> 00:40:55,705
reached out to me and just said,

1136
00:40:55,707 --> 00:40:57,774
"Hey, I know you really
want to go help out.

1137
00:40:57,776 --> 00:41:00,243
I have a way that you can go.
Would you be interested?"

1138
00:41:00,245 --> 00:41:01,177
And I said, "Yeah."

1139
00:41:01,179 --> 00:41:02,412
One day I got a call,

1140
00:41:02,414 --> 00:41:05,648
and he said,
"I'm on my way to Haiti."

1141
00:41:05,650 --> 00:41:06,950
I said, "You're what?"

1142
00:41:06,952 --> 00:41:11,454
I was very proud of him,
but I was also terrified.

1143
00:41:11,456 --> 00:41:12,889
He kept talking to people
who kept telling him

1144
00:41:12,891 --> 00:41:15,825
"No, that's not possible,
no, you can't do that."

1145
00:41:15,827 --> 00:41:18,194
"You've got to have clearance
from the governments,

1146
00:41:18,196 --> 00:41:20,096
and how is he even
going to get there?"

1147
00:41:20,098 --> 00:41:21,264
They don't have plans,

1148
00:41:21,266 --> 00:41:22,899
flying by the seat
of their pants.

1149
00:41:22,901 --> 00:41:24,968
There was no chance

1150
00:41:24,970 --> 00:41:26,936
that they were going
to get a plane

1151
00:41:26,938 --> 00:41:28,271
into Port Au Prince.

1152
00:41:28,273 --> 00:41:31,441
I remember we didn't have
any way into the country.

1153
00:41:31,443 --> 00:41:32,909
The flights
were getting turned around.

1154
00:41:32,911 --> 00:41:34,811
The airport was only accepting
certain flights,

1155
00:41:34,813 --> 00:41:38,448
so we had talked about
flying into the Dominican,

1156
00:41:38,450 --> 00:41:39,883
and so we just had
the basic plan

1157
00:41:39,885 --> 00:41:42,654
of, "Let's get to the Dominican
and see what we can do."

1158
00:41:45,423 --> 00:41:47,790
You know,
Paul's relationship with Vin

1159
00:41:47,792 --> 00:41:49,459
over all of the years,

1160
00:41:49,461 --> 00:41:52,162
uh, Vin's got family in...

1161
00:41:52,164 --> 00:41:55,465
and contacts and stuff
in Dominican Republic,

1162
00:41:55,467 --> 00:41:56,533
which is right next door.

1163
00:41:56,535 --> 00:41:58,601
[Marquez]:
I remember meeting Vin Diesel

1164
00:41:58,603 --> 00:41:59,502
and some other people,

1165
00:41:59,504 --> 00:42:00,770
just hearing about,

1166
00:42:00,772 --> 00:42:02,105
"Yeah, we might be able
to get you guys a helicopter,"

1167
00:42:02,107 --> 00:42:04,174
so the next day we were...

1168
00:42:04,176 --> 00:42:05,942
I remember we were loaded
into a couple vans

1169
00:42:05,944 --> 00:42:07,045
and taken to an airfield.

1170
00:42:08,814 --> 00:42:10,246
I remember
looking out the window,

1171
00:42:10,248 --> 00:42:12,048
watching the country go by.

1172
00:42:12,050 --> 00:42:13,349
We were thinking a lot
about our families,

1173
00:42:13,351 --> 00:42:16,719
because there was a lot of scary
rumors that were going around,

1174
00:42:16,721 --> 00:42:19,122
um, about attacks
on aid workers,

1175
00:42:19,124 --> 00:42:22,759
the machete bands of, you know,
warlords and things like that,

1176
00:42:22,761 --> 00:42:24,427
so I remember there was...

1177
00:42:24,429 --> 00:42:26,362
it was a quiet flight,
and we were all just kinda,

1178
00:42:26,364 --> 00:42:28,300
"All right,
we're gonna do this."

1179
00:42:32,667 --> 00:42:33,666
[sirens wailing]

1180
00:42:33,668 --> 00:42:36,603
Haiti was like
nothing I'd ever seen.

1181
00:42:36,605 --> 00:42:38,438
I've never seen anything
like that since then.

1182
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,709
It was literally
the worst traumatic scene

1183
00:42:42,711 --> 00:42:43,977
you could imagine.

1184
00:42:43,979 --> 00:42:48,248
People were being shipped in
with multiple amputations,

1185
00:42:48,250 --> 00:42:51,217
multiple crush wounds,
no painkillers.

1186
00:42:51,219 --> 00:42:52,452
It was awful.

1187
00:42:52,454 --> 00:42:54,654
Paul was literally
holding a kid down

1188
00:42:54,656 --> 00:42:57,323
as we set his bone into place.

1189
00:42:57,325 --> 00:42:58,792
I remember seeing that
and thinking,

1190
00:42:58,794 --> 00:43:00,326
"Man, that's...
that's real genuine.

1191
00:43:00,328 --> 00:43:02,629
That's...
that's why I want to be here."

1192
00:43:02,631 --> 00:43:04,097
I appreciate that about him,

1193
00:43:04,099 --> 00:43:05,765
and the fact that we were there

1194
00:43:05,767 --> 00:43:08,435
because he reached
into his own pocket

1195
00:43:08,437 --> 00:43:10,136
and got us there.

1196
00:43:10,138 --> 00:43:11,339
I'll never forget that.

1197
00:43:12,808 --> 00:43:14,674
[Luber]: When Paul started
"Reach Out Worldwide,"

1198
00:43:14,676 --> 00:43:16,042
he warned me.

1199
00:43:16,044 --> 00:43:17,343
He said, "No press.

1200
00:43:17,345 --> 00:43:18,411
No PR, no press.

1201
00:43:18,413 --> 00:43:21,014
I don't want any...
It's not about that."

1202
00:43:21,016 --> 00:43:23,049
Everybody wants to go viral

1203
00:43:23,051 --> 00:43:25,318
for what they're doing,
you know?

1204
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:26,586
If you're doing it
from your heart,

1205
00:43:26,588 --> 00:43:28,354
why do you want
all the attention?

1206
00:43:28,356 --> 00:43:30,490
He never did Reach Out Worldwide

1207
00:43:30,492 --> 00:43:32,659
with the intentions
of press and PR

1208
00:43:32,661 --> 00:43:34,494
and wanting people to know

1209
00:43:34,496 --> 00:43:36,329
that he was
the hero that he was.

1210
00:43:36,331 --> 00:43:37,530
Let's join R.O.W.

1211
00:43:37,532 --> 00:43:39,432
by supporting their efforts
in the Philippines,

1212
00:43:39,434 --> 00:43:40,533
because together,

1213
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:43,236
we're going to realize
a much bigger impact.

1214
00:43:43,238 --> 00:43:45,338
The race to relief starts now.

1215
00:43:45,340 --> 00:43:47,173
One thing that I'm
wondering about

1216
00:43:47,175 --> 00:43:48,675
is the "let's."

1217
00:43:48,677 --> 00:43:49,676
"Let's join R.O.W."

1218
00:43:49,678 --> 00:43:52,679
It's sort of, um,
separating yourself

1219
00:43:52,681 --> 00:43:53,680
from the
organization,

1220
00:43:53,682 --> 00:43:54,881
like you're not
a part of it.

1221
00:43:54,883 --> 00:43:57,450
Ah, they don't need to know
it's my thing. You know?

1222
00:43:57,452 --> 00:43:59,452
It's like... it's something
that I believe in,

1223
00:43:59,454 --> 00:44:01,254
so let's join it together,

1224
00:44:01,256 --> 00:44:03,223
and it makes it more
like we're doing it,

1225
00:44:03,225 --> 00:44:04,724
as opposed...
"we're joining them"

1226
00:44:04,726 --> 00:44:06,993
as opposed to "join me
and R.O.W."

1227
00:44:06,995 --> 00:44:09,062
You know? I just...
I think it's cooler.

1228
00:44:09,064 --> 00:44:10,730
There was an intensity
in Paul's life

1229
00:44:10,732 --> 00:44:13,767
that you knew, like,
okay, now, this is...

1230
00:44:13,769 --> 00:44:15,468
this is really what matters
to him.

1231
00:44:15,470 --> 00:44:18,438
This isn't just the Paul
going chasing waves,

1232
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,740
but this is the Paul
that cares for people,

1233
00:44:20,742 --> 00:44:24,210
and, uh, really makes an impact
on people's lives.

1234
00:44:24,212 --> 00:44:26,246
I don't think anybody
can go to a place like Haiti

1235
00:44:26,248 --> 00:44:27,580
after that event

1236
00:44:27,582 --> 00:44:30,417
and not come back changed.

1237
00:44:30,419 --> 00:44:32,118
I think we all
came back different.

1238
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,553
I know we all
came back different.

1239
00:44:33,555 --> 00:44:35,257
[helicopter rotors beat]

1240
00:44:36,858 --> 00:44:38,794
[♪♪♪]

1241
00:44:45,467 --> 00:44:49,269
I wasn't in part 3,

1242
00:44:49,271 --> 00:44:52,005
I wasn't in part 4,

1243
00:44:52,007 --> 00:44:53,006
and it wasn't because

1244
00:44:53,008 --> 00:44:55,141
I didn't have interest
in being in it.

1245
00:44:55,143 --> 00:44:58,078
There were various other people

1246
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,014
that was kind of...
going out of their way

1247
00:45:01,016 --> 00:45:03,118
to snuff that out.

1248
00:45:09,224 --> 00:45:12,826
Paul Walker was on a mission

1249
00:45:12,828 --> 00:45:15,128
to get me
back into the franchise.

1250
00:45:15,130 --> 00:45:17,464
This just went
from Mission: Impossible

1251
00:45:17,466 --> 00:45:19,432
to Mission: In-freaking-sanity.

1252
00:45:19,434 --> 00:45:23,103
You know, we talked
a lot about family.

1253
00:45:23,105 --> 00:45:25,171
We talked...
we both have daughters.

1254
00:45:25,173 --> 00:45:32,846
As a father, you find yourself
chasing your career,

1255
00:45:32,848 --> 00:45:36,850
chasing your relevancy
in Hollywood,

1256
00:45:36,852 --> 00:45:42,021
and so when it comes to money,
one would say,

1257
00:45:42,023 --> 00:45:43,523
"You just made all of that,

1258
00:45:43,525 --> 00:45:47,293
so you don't have to go
do three, four movies in a row.

1259
00:45:47,295 --> 00:45:49,796
You could just
get this big chunk of money

1260
00:45:49,798 --> 00:45:52,866
and then go spend all this time
with your daughter

1261
00:45:52,868 --> 00:45:56,304
and be at home and go surf
and live your life."

1262
00:46:00,609 --> 00:46:02,876
[Macarthur]: At that time,
his life was all about Meadow,

1263
00:46:02,878 --> 00:46:04,677
and he would just be, like,
"Dude, she's the coolest.

1264
00:46:04,679 --> 00:46:06,646
Like, she's like...
I'm so proud.

1265
00:46:06,648 --> 00:46:08,314
You know, I mean,
she's just a cool girl."

1266
00:46:08,316 --> 00:46:10,984
[Cody]: When Paul found out
talking to his daughter

1267
00:46:10,986 --> 00:46:13,820
that she wanted to leave Hawaii

1268
00:46:13,822 --> 00:46:15,989
and she wanted
to live with her dad,

1269
00:46:15,991 --> 00:46:17,524
it made him so happy

1270
00:46:17,526 --> 00:46:20,160
to know that she wanted
to come and live with him.

1271
00:46:20,162 --> 00:46:21,895
[Rhett]:
He was, like, riddled with fear,

1272
00:46:21,897 --> 00:46:24,531
because he referred to himself
as this Disneyland dad.

1273
00:46:24,533 --> 00:46:25,498
"I'd always show up

1274
00:46:25,500 --> 00:46:27,233
and she'd get
to go travel with me,

1275
00:46:27,235 --> 00:46:28,334
go do this, go do that,"

1276
00:46:28,336 --> 00:46:29,502
and he said that.

1277
00:46:29,504 --> 00:46:31,571
It was, like, you know,
"Rebecca's a great mom,

1278
00:46:31,573 --> 00:46:34,240
you know, and I didn't have
to go through, like,

1279
00:46:34,242 --> 00:46:37,510
the flu, the chicken pox,
you know, this, that," you know.

1280
00:46:37,512 --> 00:46:39,012
He goes, "Now I get
to be there, you know,

1281
00:46:39,014 --> 00:46:41,147
probably in the most important
time of her life,

1282
00:46:41,149 --> 00:46:42,415
and I've got to be that dad."

1283
00:46:42,417 --> 00:46:43,650
[Paul]: She tries to be

1284
00:46:43,652 --> 00:46:45,385
a little tougher
than I want her to be.

1285
00:46:45,387 --> 00:46:46,586
I want her to be more revealing,

1286
00:46:46,588 --> 00:46:48,054
like, "You're not home enough,"

1287
00:46:48,056 --> 00:46:50,957
or, "You don't pay enough
attention to what I'm saying."

1288
00:46:50,959 --> 00:46:52,959
Like, I want her
to say those things.

1289
00:46:52,961 --> 00:46:53,960
She's honestly,

1290
00:46:53,962 --> 00:46:55,028
she's the best partner
I've ever had.

1291
00:46:55,030 --> 00:46:56,529
She lives with me full-time now,

1292
00:46:56,531 --> 00:46:59,032
and, uh,
so we're in all this together.

1293
00:46:59,034 --> 00:47:02,202
When it comes time to,
you know, considering a project,

1294
00:47:02,204 --> 00:47:03,269
whether
I'm going to do it or not,

1295
00:47:03,271 --> 00:47:04,404
we sit down and we pow-wow.

1296
00:47:04,406 --> 00:47:05,438
We discuss it.

1297
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:06,806
He would be, like,

1298
00:47:06,808 --> 00:47:10,710
"Dude, I only got six more years
until she graduates high school.

1299
00:47:10,712 --> 00:47:13,713
I only got five more years
'til she graduates high school,

1300
00:47:13,715 --> 00:47:16,783
and I'm contractually obligated
to do this or that,

1301
00:47:16,785 --> 00:47:18,985
and they'll sue me
if I don't do it,"

1302
00:47:18,987 --> 00:47:22,891
and when it's time to work,
he's gone for months on end.

1303
00:47:27,696 --> 00:47:29,429
[Luber]: The "Hours" was...
we went after that script.

1304
00:47:29,431 --> 00:47:30,430
We loved that role for him.

1305
00:47:30,432 --> 00:47:32,465
We loved that script for him,

1306
00:47:32,467 --> 00:47:34,134
and I think the "Hours"

1307
00:47:34,136 --> 00:47:37,137
was one of the best performances
Paul ever had.

1308
00:47:37,139 --> 00:47:40,173
Yeah! Hello? Hello?

1309
00:47:40,175 --> 00:47:42,041
Hey, can you hear me?
This is Nolan Hayes.

1310
00:47:42,043 --> 00:47:43,343
I'm at Saint Mary's Hospital.

1311
00:47:43,345 --> 00:47:45,945
I've got a baby on a ventilator
that needs a rescue team.

1312
00:47:45,947 --> 00:47:49,482
Right away, please.
She needs to be moved.

1313
00:47:49,484 --> 00:47:51,551
[Macarthur]: You know, he's
trying to save his daughter,

1314
00:47:51,553 --> 00:47:53,119
and I knew he tied in,

1315
00:47:53,121 --> 00:47:55,088
and he told me he tied in
on that.

1316
00:47:55,090 --> 00:47:56,990
As he was getting older,

1317
00:47:56,992 --> 00:47:58,324
and the way
that he was changing,

1318
00:47:58,326 --> 00:47:59,159
being a father,

1319
00:47:59,161 --> 00:48:00,260
doing the things that he was...

1320
00:48:00,262 --> 00:48:01,094
[staticky voice on radio]

1321
00:48:01,096 --> 00:48:02,562
Hello? Hello?

1322
00:48:02,564 --> 00:48:03,630
[Macarthur]:
...He was actually stepping

1323
00:48:03,632 --> 00:48:05,965
into becoming
a really [bleep] good actor.

1324
00:48:05,967 --> 00:48:07,100
I knew he was gonna be.

1325
00:48:07,102 --> 00:48:08,701
There was only so many guys

1326
00:48:08,703 --> 00:48:10,870
that are in their late 30s,
early 40s

1327
00:48:10,872 --> 00:48:13,006
that looked the way he looked,

1328
00:48:13,008 --> 00:48:14,474
that were built
the way he was built,

1329
00:48:14,476 --> 00:48:16,409
that could do the action.

1330
00:48:16,411 --> 00:48:17,343
I always said to him,

1331
00:48:17,345 --> 00:48:18,378
"You're going to be
Steve McQueen

1332
00:48:18,380 --> 00:48:21,281
in your 40s, you know?
In your 50s, even.

1333
00:48:21,283 --> 00:48:22,982
You're so handsome right now,

1334
00:48:22,984 --> 00:48:24,784
that age is actually
going to be good for you.

1335
00:48:24,786 --> 00:48:28,321
More lines on your face,
give you some grit."

1336
00:48:28,323 --> 00:48:30,990
You know, we were
on an upward trajectory.

1337
00:48:30,992 --> 00:48:32,327
The sky was the limit.

1338
00:48:33,169 --> 00:48:34,368
Paul! Paul!

1339
00:48:34,370 --> 00:48:35,670
Hey, Tiger!

1340
00:48:35,672 --> 00:48:38,539
Paul! Paul!

1341
00:48:38,541 --> 00:48:40,208
Paul, to the left,
please!

1342
00:48:40,210 --> 00:48:42,910
Being a big Hollywood star
and the whole thing

1343
00:48:42,912 --> 00:48:44,679
is, like, it's...

1344
00:48:44,681 --> 00:48:46,314
it's so difficult to do that

1345
00:48:46,316 --> 00:48:50,518
and
to have a functional family.

1346
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:57,024
[women screaming]

1347
00:48:57,026 --> 00:48:59,427
He told me he actually
had some conversations,

1348
00:48:59,429 --> 00:49:02,830
like, "What if I just
take some time off?"

1349
00:49:02,832 --> 00:49:06,033
But ultimately he said,

1350
00:49:06,035 --> 00:49:09,003
"I have a responsibility
to a lot of people.

1351
00:49:09,005 --> 00:49:11,939
A lot of people
rely on me doing this.

1352
00:49:11,941 --> 00:49:14,642
I have a publicist, a manager,"

1353
00:49:14,644 --> 00:49:18,446
and he goes, "I help provide
for you, Ashlie.

1354
00:49:18,448 --> 00:49:20,214
I help provide for Mom."

1355
00:49:20,216 --> 00:49:21,749
What are you doing?

1356
00:49:21,751 --> 00:49:22,583
Happy birthday.

1357
00:49:22,585 --> 00:49:24,752
You're going
to give me a car?

1358
00:49:24,754 --> 00:49:27,188
[laughter]

1359
00:49:27,190 --> 00:49:28,856
It's a Lexus.

1360
00:49:28,858 --> 00:49:31,158
Who says material things
don't make people happy?

1361
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:32,293
[laughter]

1362
00:49:32,295 --> 00:49:34,662
He did take care of people,

1363
00:49:34,664 --> 00:49:38,099
to the point where...

1364
00:49:38,101 --> 00:49:40,334
he wasn't looking after himself.

1365
00:49:40,336 --> 00:49:42,069
I worried about him.

1366
00:49:42,071 --> 00:49:45,139
I worried about that
taking its toll on him,

1367
00:49:45,141 --> 00:49:46,374
and I wish sometimes

1368
00:49:46,376 --> 00:49:49,210
that maybe I had been more...

1369
00:49:49,212 --> 00:49:52,380
had a hand in helping him stop.

1370
00:49:52,382 --> 00:49:58,286
I think Paul wanted most
to be a great father,

1371
00:49:58,288 --> 00:49:59,987
and I think that...

1372
00:49:59,989 --> 00:50:01,222
when he was away from Meadow

1373
00:50:01,224 --> 00:50:03,491
or he wasn't spending time
with his daughter,

1374
00:50:03,493 --> 00:50:04,792
that wore on him the most.

1375
00:50:04,794 --> 00:50:06,694
What is
success to you?

1376
00:50:06,696 --> 00:50:09,363
Uh, success is, uh,
balance in life.

1377
00:50:09,365 --> 00:50:10,364
That's the most hard...

1378
00:50:10,366 --> 00:50:11,699
that's the most difficult thing
to find.

1379
00:50:11,701 --> 00:50:15,303
Every single person
in my family,

1380
00:50:15,305 --> 00:50:18,005
every single person
that calls Paul a friend,

1381
00:50:18,007 --> 00:50:20,508
has been told by Paul,
from his mouth,

1382
00:50:20,510 --> 00:50:22,009
"This is the last one.

1383
00:50:22,011 --> 00:50:23,644
Oh, this is the last one.

1384
00:50:23,646 --> 00:50:26,314
This is the last one,
and I'm done."

1385
00:50:26,316 --> 00:50:29,984
Heard that forever,
but he couldn't walk away.

1386
00:50:29,986 --> 00:50:31,085
He couldn't quite...

1387
00:50:31,087 --> 00:50:34,555
he couldn't quite
walk away yet, in his mind,

1388
00:50:34,557 --> 00:50:37,425
and, uh...

1389
00:50:37,427 --> 00:50:39,760
that's one thing
that's, like, so killer,

1390
00:50:39,762 --> 00:50:42,530
that sucks so bad about...

1391
00:50:42,532 --> 00:50:48,069
You know, he never got
to really enjoy,

1392
00:50:48,071 --> 00:50:50,905
like, just watching
his daughter grow up,

1393
00:50:50,907 --> 00:50:54,876
and enjoy everything
he had worked so hard for.

1394
00:50:54,878 --> 00:50:56,110
He was finally starting

1395
00:50:56,112 --> 00:50:59,115
to really kind of
put that together and, like...

1396
00:51:02,785 --> 00:51:04,954
Yeah, and then he just got...
got cut short.

1397
00:51:09,492 --> 00:51:12,793
He took Meadow
out to breakfast,

1398
00:51:12,795 --> 00:51:13,928
and when they came back,

1399
00:51:13,930 --> 00:51:16,831
I was in my pajamas
in the kitchen,

1400
00:51:16,833 --> 00:51:19,934
a little embarrassed
that I still was in my pajamas,

1401
00:51:19,936 --> 00:51:22,470
but he said, "Oh, Mom,
it's, you know, fine."

1402
00:51:22,472 --> 00:51:25,239
I think he got a text
on his phone,

1403
00:51:25,241 --> 00:51:27,808
and he looks at me
and he goes, "Oh, my gosh.

1404
00:51:27,810 --> 00:51:29,477
I'm supposed to be somewhere
right now."

1405
00:51:29,479 --> 00:51:31,646
He told my mom, he said,

1406
00:51:31,648 --> 00:51:35,449
"Oh, there's an event
that I'm supposed to go to.

1407
00:51:35,451 --> 00:51:37,285
Um, it's this toy drive."

1408
00:51:37,287 --> 00:51:41,222
We made plans to be
back together in the evening

1409
00:51:41,224 --> 00:51:43,991
and decorate a Christmas tree
that night.

1410
00:51:43,993 --> 00:51:46,661
And then
after he left her house,

1411
00:51:46,663 --> 00:51:48,396
he called me.

1412
00:51:48,398 --> 00:51:49,764
He had, like, this...

1413
00:51:49,766 --> 00:51:51,098
this game plan on, like,

1414
00:51:51,100 --> 00:51:53,935
how to
bring the family even closer.

1415
00:51:53,937 --> 00:51:55,503
And then after he got
off the phone with me,

1416
00:51:55,505 --> 00:51:57,605
he called Cody
and had a similar conversation.

1417
00:51:57,607 --> 00:52:02,011
He actually called me
on his way to that toy drive...

1418
00:52:05,648 --> 00:52:08,816
and, uh...

1419
00:52:08,818 --> 00:52:13,554
I was at work that day,
uh, and, uh...

1420
00:52:13,556 --> 00:52:17,124
god, I'm so glad
that I wasn't on a call.

1421
00:52:17,126 --> 00:52:21,329
I was able to answer the phone.

1422
00:52:21,331 --> 00:52:23,998
When the toy drive
was finished,

1423
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,501
I was driving the Carrera GT
from where he was parked,

1424
00:52:27,503 --> 00:52:29,704
trying to put it
back into the garage.

1425
00:52:29,706 --> 00:52:32,540
Roger comes out,
joking around with me,

1426
00:52:32,542 --> 00:52:34,609
saying that, "Hey, you know,

1427
00:52:34,611 --> 00:52:36,611
you probably don't know
how to drive a Carrera GT right,

1428
00:52:36,613 --> 00:52:37,578
and it's my car.

1429
00:52:37,580 --> 00:52:38,746
Let me take it home."

1430
00:52:38,748 --> 00:52:41,182
And that's when
Paul was leaving,

1431
00:52:41,184 --> 00:52:45,753
and said he wants
to take a ride with Roger first.

1432
00:52:45,755 --> 00:52:47,221
[Cody]: It's just so stupid.

1433
00:52:47,223 --> 00:52:50,191
I've been
on that same exact loop.

1434
00:52:50,193 --> 00:52:52,994
It's an industrial park.

1435
00:52:52,996 --> 00:52:54,762
There's nothing there
on the weekend.

1436
00:52:54,764 --> 00:52:56,797
There's no cars. There's...

1437
00:52:56,799 --> 00:52:57,765
It's all closed up.

1438
00:52:57,767 --> 00:53:00,401
There's nothing there.

1439
00:53:00,403 --> 00:53:01,636
And it was just kind of like,

1440
00:53:01,638 --> 00:53:03,004
"Oh, you just, like, do a loop,

1441
00:53:03,006 --> 00:53:03,905
and, like, get it...

1442
00:53:03,907 --> 00:53:05,339
get the car running up to temp,

1443
00:53:05,341 --> 00:53:07,074
and then, like, put it away."

1444
00:53:07,076 --> 00:53:08,643
You gotta let these cars run.

1445
00:53:08,645 --> 00:53:09,510
You've gotta run them.

1446
00:53:09,512 --> 00:53:11,045
You've got to rotate the tires.

1447
00:53:11,047 --> 00:53:14,117
You've got to do these things,
and this is a customary thing.

1448
00:53:17,020 --> 00:53:18,920
[Lee]: And so we're there,
still cleaning up.

1449
00:53:18,922 --> 00:53:20,187
The next thing we know,

1450
00:53:20,189 --> 00:53:22,223
we hear a loud noise,
a loud bang.

1451
00:53:22,225 --> 00:53:26,794
Supposedly...

1452
00:53:26,796 --> 00:53:33,201
the impact knocked him out,

1453
00:53:33,203 --> 00:53:37,073
and then the car
just became this inferno.

1454
00:53:48,418 --> 00:53:49,650
He's stuck in this car,

1455
00:53:49,652 --> 00:53:52,253
he's unconscious on impact,

1456
00:53:52,255 --> 00:53:54,090
and then he just burns alive.

1457
00:53:56,793 --> 00:53:59,293
[Ashlie]: After Paul left
for that toy drive,

1458
00:53:59,295 --> 00:54:02,263
my mom called me
and asked me what I was doing,

1459
00:54:02,265 --> 00:54:04,865
and, um,
I went over to the house,

1460
00:54:04,867 --> 00:54:08,771
and we ran an errand together,
and...

1461
00:54:12,108 --> 00:54:14,442
Lucas Wimer
walks through the door,

1462
00:54:14,444 --> 00:54:16,677
covered in soot,

1463
00:54:16,679 --> 00:54:19,616
like, singed eyebrows.

1464
00:54:25,788 --> 00:54:31,158
He told me that he couldn't
get him out of the car,

1465
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,294
and then he said
he couldn't find him in the car.

1466
00:54:33,296 --> 00:54:38,599
Well, I'm immediately saying,
"We need to go find him."

1467
00:54:38,601 --> 00:54:42,803
I didn't know
what he was trying to say

1468
00:54:42,805 --> 00:54:44,472
was he couldn't find him

1469
00:54:44,474 --> 00:54:47,343
because the car was on fire
and they couldn't get to him.

1470
00:54:49,512 --> 00:54:50,778
[news report]:
At the scene of the crash,

1471
00:54:50,780 --> 00:54:53,347
deputies had to wrestle
one of Walker's friends away

1472
00:54:53,349 --> 00:54:54,315
seconds after it became clear

1473
00:54:54,317 --> 00:54:56,317
Paul and Rodas
couldn't be saved.

1474
00:54:56,319 --> 00:54:58,753
Our coroner's office
also determined

1475
00:54:58,755 --> 00:55:01,022
that the cause of death,
Mr. Walker,

1476
00:55:01,024 --> 00:55:02,356
is combined effects

1477
00:55:02,358 --> 00:55:05,359
of traumatic
and thermal injuries,

1478
00:55:05,361 --> 00:55:07,130
and the manner of death
was Accident.

1479
00:55:17,670 --> 00:55:19,002
I... I was actually the one

1480
00:55:19,004 --> 00:55:21,638
that had to call
each member of my family.

1481
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:25,576
I felt like I had to keep
breaking more people's hearts.

1482
00:55:25,578 --> 00:55:29,179
If you knew Paul, you loved him.

1483
00:55:29,181 --> 00:55:30,549
That's just how it was.

1484
00:55:41,193 --> 00:55:42,593
I tried reaching Cody.

1485
00:55:42,595 --> 00:55:45,195
I couldn't,
so I got ahold of his fiancée.

1486
00:55:45,197 --> 00:55:47,965
She said, "Oh, he's working."

1487
00:55:47,967 --> 00:55:54,271
There's my wife,
and she's just sobbing, and...

1488
00:55:54,273 --> 00:55:57,775
my supervisor says,
"You're going to go home,"

1489
00:55:57,777 --> 00:56:02,112
and, uh, she pulls me outside,

1490
00:56:02,114 --> 00:56:04,581
we start
walking towards the car.

1491
00:56:04,583 --> 00:56:05,649
I'm like, "What's wrong?"

1492
00:56:05,651 --> 00:56:07,117
She's like,
"Something really bad happened."

1493
00:56:07,119 --> 00:56:08,619
I said, "What's wrong?
You've told me that.

1494
00:56:08,621 --> 00:56:10,055
What's wrong?"

1495
00:56:20,032 --> 00:56:22,332
And, uh, she just looks at me,

1496
00:56:22,334 --> 00:56:25,504
and she goes,
"It's your brother, Paul."

1497
00:56:29,041 --> 00:56:30,407
Take your sword.

1498
00:56:30,409 --> 00:56:31,308
I will.

1499
00:56:31,310 --> 00:56:32,810
Say it
right now.

1500
00:56:32,812 --> 00:56:34,778
- Hey!
- What?

1501
00:56:34,780 --> 00:56:36,647
My name is Cody.

1502
00:56:36,649 --> 00:56:38,849
Do you want to fight?

1503
00:56:38,851 --> 00:56:40,352
Yah, yah, yah!

1504
00:56:42,922 --> 00:56:44,221
I said, "Okay, so he got hurt?

1505
00:56:44,223 --> 00:56:45,989
What's wrong?

1506
00:56:45,991 --> 00:56:47,760
Is he...
Is he going to be okay?"

1507
00:56:51,497 --> 00:56:54,800
And, uh,
she just shook her head.

1508
00:56:58,237 --> 00:56:59,970
[Rhett]:
To lose somebody like Paul,

1509
00:56:59,972 --> 00:57:03,907
it's not, uh,
it's not for the weak, you know?

1510
00:57:03,909 --> 00:57:06,110
It's not for the strong, either.

1511
00:57:06,112 --> 00:57:09,348
It's just something
that's totally messed up.

1512
00:57:12,518 --> 00:57:14,451
Your son's not supposed
to go before you.

1513
00:57:14,453 --> 00:57:19,022
I... it's your worst fear,

1514
00:57:19,024 --> 00:57:22,426
and it came to pass.

1515
00:57:22,428 --> 00:57:23,660
How old
are you now?

1516
00:57:23,662 --> 00:57:24,628
13.

1517
00:57:24,630 --> 00:57:25,596
Okay,
this is the...

1518
00:57:25,598 --> 00:57:26,964
We're going
to test you now.

1519
00:57:26,966 --> 00:57:28,198
This is the test.

1520
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,667
What's today's date?

1521
00:57:30,669 --> 00:57:33,303
September 20...

1522
00:57:33,305 --> 00:57:34,671
I mean, December 24th.

1523
00:57:34,673 --> 00:57:36,774
Yeah? What year?

1524
00:57:36,776 --> 00:57:39,209
19... um, 1986.

1525
00:57:39,211 --> 00:57:41,178
Uh-huh.

1526
00:57:41,180 --> 00:57:42,880
I just remember
the very first time I...

1527
00:57:42,882 --> 00:57:43,881
I heard it.

1528
00:57:43,883 --> 00:57:45,315
You know, I immediately
jump in my car

1529
00:57:45,317 --> 00:57:48,888
and I drive down
to be with the family, you know?

1530
00:57:51,357 --> 00:57:57,995
I remember, uh, giving...

1531
00:57:57,997 --> 00:58:00,364
giving Cheryl a hug,

1532
00:58:00,366 --> 00:58:04,401
and, uh, her words were,
"Paul and you were brothers,

1533
00:58:04,403 --> 00:58:07,237
and you will be forever."

1534
00:58:07,239 --> 00:58:10,007
I guess, like, uh,
a little bit of,

1535
00:58:10,009 --> 00:58:12,009
"What can I do to help," right?

1536
00:58:12,011 --> 00:58:13,710
With Meadow
and everything like that,

1537
00:58:13,712 --> 00:58:15,345
you're, like,
there's so many uncertainties.

1538
00:58:15,347 --> 00:58:17,948
He would have helped out
if it would have been reversed.

1539
00:58:17,950 --> 00:58:19,316
He would have been the one
taking care of everything

1540
00:58:19,318 --> 00:58:20,317
for my family.

1541
00:58:20,319 --> 00:58:23,053
I really just wanted
to go to sleep

1542
00:58:23,055 --> 00:58:25,556
and not have to get up again,

1543
00:58:25,558 --> 00:58:28,292
because I just wanted
to be with him.

1544
00:58:28,294 --> 00:58:29,493
Swim to the side.

1545
00:58:29,495 --> 00:58:30,928
Come on, I'll
hold onto you.

1546
00:58:30,930 --> 00:58:33,764
Swim! Swim! Swim! Swim!

1547
00:58:33,766 --> 00:58:36,335
Kick those feet!

1548
00:58:45,711 --> 00:58:47,377
Even if I died
age 80 or whatever,

1549
00:58:47,379 --> 00:58:50,180
I will never live even a third
of the life Paul lived.

1550
00:58:50,182 --> 00:58:51,381
I mean, that guy...

1551
00:58:51,383 --> 00:58:53,851
that guy made the best
of every single minute.

1552
00:58:53,853 --> 00:58:56,453
Whoo!

1553
00:58:56,455 --> 00:58:58,355
He was just a guy

1554
00:58:58,357 --> 00:59:03,060
who... could take life
on its own terms

1555
00:59:03,062 --> 00:59:06,330
and find the joy in it
at all times.

1556
00:59:06,332 --> 00:59:07,564
There's nobody

1557
00:59:07,566 --> 00:59:09,233
that ever worked with him
or ever knew him

1558
00:59:09,235 --> 00:59:12,102
that doesn't feel the loss.

1559
00:59:12,104 --> 00:59:16,306
I'm so, so grateful
that he was in my life,

1560
00:59:16,308 --> 00:59:17,941
and that he was my friend.

1561
00:59:17,943 --> 00:59:20,711
He was a, uh, supporter,

1562
00:59:20,713 --> 00:59:22,815
and a, uh, you know,
a champion for you.

1563
00:59:23,916 --> 00:59:26,417
He would be
going absolutely bananas

1564
00:59:26,419 --> 00:59:28,085
over the fact I've discovered

1565
00:59:28,087 --> 00:59:31,121
a brand-new population
of adult white sharks

1566
00:59:31,123 --> 00:59:33,123
very near his back yard
in Santa Barbara.

1567
00:59:33,125 --> 00:59:35,426
I know he would have
been bugging me 24/7,

1568
00:59:35,428 --> 00:59:36,293
"Hey, let's go again,"

1569
00:59:36,295 --> 00:59:37,494
and I really wish

1570
00:59:37,496 --> 00:59:40,030
I could have him
out there with me.

1571
00:59:40,032 --> 00:59:41,098
Paul taught me that,

1572
00:59:41,100 --> 00:59:43,767
it may seem simple,
but to do good.

1573
00:59:43,769 --> 00:59:46,770
Many times
when he hung up the phone

1574
00:59:46,772 --> 00:59:48,772
or, uh, ended a conversation,

1575
00:59:48,774 --> 00:59:52,176
he said, you know,
"Be good."

1576
00:59:52,178 --> 00:59:53,844
And he meant it.

1577
00:59:53,846 --> 00:59:55,846
He wanted to do good things.

1578
00:59:55,848 --> 00:59:57,081
He wanted you to do good things.

1579
00:59:57,083 --> 00:59:59,783
He wanted us to do more
to do better for the world.

1580
00:59:59,785 --> 01:00:02,119
I had no idea

1581
01:00:02,121 --> 01:00:05,322
the impact worldwide
that Paul has had

1582
01:00:05,324 --> 01:00:08,992
until he passed away.

1583
01:00:08,994 --> 01:00:12,863
I think we were all
amazed to see

1584
01:00:12,865 --> 01:00:15,799
how far and wide
Paul's influence went,

1585
01:00:15,801 --> 01:00:17,269
and how many people loved him.

1586
01:00:19,338 --> 01:00:21,638
Beef jerky
time.

1587
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,941
[Gibson]: I learned a lot
from Paul, man...

1588
01:00:23,943 --> 01:00:27,144
humility,
treat everybody the same,

1589
01:00:27,146 --> 01:00:28,312
respect and love.

1590
01:00:28,314 --> 01:00:29,613
Go out of your way

1591
01:00:29,615 --> 01:00:34,952
to create moments
of uninterrupted quality time.

1592
01:00:34,954 --> 01:00:37,521
He gave the best hugs, man.

1593
01:00:37,523 --> 01:00:40,824
There isn't a day
that's gone by since his passing

1594
01:00:40,826 --> 01:00:42,860
that I haven't
thought about him,

1595
01:00:42,862 --> 01:00:46,930
and sometimes
I just talk out loud.

1596
01:00:46,932 --> 01:00:49,600
I say what I want to say,
what I'm thinking.

1597
01:00:49,602 --> 01:00:51,034
"We still miss you.

1598
01:00:51,036 --> 01:00:53,370
We still love you.

1599
01:00:53,372 --> 01:00:54,638
It'll always be like that."

1600
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:56,842

1601
