The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 5: Trick or Treat
Man, you're preaching to the choir. Option two is where I'm leaning, but I just can't do anything until tomorrow after I talk to my lawyer. So that's where it's at.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 5: Trick or Treat
I just need to consult first. That's basically it. Okay. Like I said before, so I don't know what happens now.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 5: Trick or Treat
Just out of curiosity, does the person not get in trouble for the hoax as well? Why do you ask?
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 5: Trick or Treat
Well, I don't know where you get it from.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 5: Trick or Treat
Okay, whatever at Sub, I guess.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 5: Trick or Treat
Just out of curiosity. Does a person not get in trouble for the hoax as well? Absolutely, yeah.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 5: Trick or Treat
I respect you guys. I respect what you do. I understand what this is about. I just can't say anything.

The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 3: Catfishing
And so I tried to make a run for it. And that's when he actually pulled out a gun.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 2: The Twilight Zone
How much did you think the car was worth? I thought it was worth somewhere between $3,000 and $4,000. Which you're paying $40 for?
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 2: The Twilight Zone
The problem is that I'm so tired and it's so hard to remember things.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 2: The Twilight Zone
Am I free to go? Yeah. Then I will.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 2: The Twilight Zone
It's so hard to remember, like, these minute, specific details about these days that I just didn't ever bother to think about or remember because who the hell does that, you know?
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 1: Where's Johnny?
The first thing that I noticed, the padlock didn't look familiar to me.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 1: Where's Johnny?
It's a suspense thriller. Actually, it's a short film. The total runtime is only going to be about eight or nine minutes. So, yeah. Suspense thriller? Right.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 1: Where's Johnny?
So if there was anything like that, if somebody needed to borrow the place or whatever, then they would let me know. Let you know. Or they'd ask for something like that.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 1: Where's Johnny?
I'm working on a comedy right now, which is actually a full-blown feature that's actually going to have a decent budget in the neighborhood of about $3.5 million.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 1: Where's Johnny?
As soon as they called me on the phone, I got this weird chill.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 1: Where's Johnny?
So I get this call from my co-producer on the phone, this guy from LA that's helping me put together my big feature, the Day Players comedy.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 1: Where's Johnny?
And this guy taps on my window.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 1: Where's Johnny?
And at first I'm thinking, OK, he's going to ask me for loose change or, you know, something like that.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 1: Where's Johnny?
But he didn't look like a transient. He seemed to be, you know, dressed like a normal person.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 1: Where's Johnny?
He goes, well, I have shacked up with this... really rich lady, you know, it's like a sugar mama kind of situation and she's going to take care of me and she's going to buy me a new car when we get back from a vacation that we're going to take. So I'm just looking to unload buying and don't really care that much how much I get for it. How much do you have on you? And so I say, well, 40 bucks.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 1: Where's Johnny?
And with that tone and everything, like, I'm not expecting anything here. And he was like, yeah, sure, fair enough. I'm thinking, okay, what, is there like, you know, two tons of cocaine in the trunk? Like, I'm trying to figure out what the catch is here.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 1: Where's Johnny?
Yeah. He lives just a couple of blocks away.
Dateline Originals
The Man in the Black Mask - Ep. 1: Where's Johnny?
So, what? Well, I tried to answer some more of their questions and fill them in and everything like that, and it turns out that the car is, in fact... belonging to this missing guy, and it's a huge deal. So that's what this whole thing's about.
