We're on day 25 of shooting; this is their last week of filming, because they're out of money. "I'm ready to direct the film," John says, "I just have to push for it." Krista had asked for some time off, and she wasn't even in, yet, on the set. "I'm putting things into place to make this week as smooth as possible," Stephen admits. "We need the actors to show up on time," Mike explains. They talk about what they could do, but it's too late to do anything.
They begin shooting some intense scenes with choreography and special effects. They don't have a lot of time to shoot, so, they're trying to do what they can and so far it's working well. Joel explains that Balthazar's hair is growing out like insane, and now he doesn't want to cut it, because he has another movie that he needs to have long hair for the role. They discuss it with him. He wants to see if it really makes a difference on set. They basically threaten to go to his agent if he doesn't cut his hair, as Joel explained, because they need everything to go right from now on.
Krista missed her flight the day before, which is why she is late, and now she comes on from the set as if nothing has happened. "I missed my flight last night," she says, trying to convince people she shouldn't feel guilty. She's being a diva on set, telling her not to get the blood in her eye, because it burns and it happened before. She's asking for kneepads and all these other demands, as if she owns the set, and they're just sitting there shaking their heads at her. They shoot various instances of the scene until the move on with John's approval.
"I'm taking a lot of heat," John says. Krista goes back to get her hair and makeup down for the next scene. They can't make up their minds as to what she should do. "Everyone up there is saying don't take a shower," one of her makeup guys says. "The blood stains the face," she says. Stephen contradicts this and tells them that. They're over 35 minutes over and now she's wearing a different bra that is causing problems with continuity. John brings it up with her, because in some scenes they can see her nipples and they didn't really want that, but she blows it off and says she didn't change her bra. "That was really embarrassing," John laughs.
Colleen talks about how Krista didn't want to stick around, so, she changed her clothes and prepared to leave. "If they're unorganized, things can unravel pretty quickly," Mike says. Davis and Colleen headed to catch up with Krista, because they think she "wrapped" herself for the day, and tried to leave. They come up with a game plan to prevent this, because actors never wrap themselves, and they have to be wrapped by Ben on this set. Davis refuses to be her babysitter and threatens to leave. "They've made some bad mistakes," Ben says. "The primary mistakes are managing call times. We can't take those kind of hits."
Balthazar refuses to cut his hair, so, the crew all begin getting the hair shaved the same way he does to motivate him to get it cut. Even Chris Moore ended up getting his hair cut. He sees them come out of the trailer. "Once he saw all the people that got that hair cut, got in the chair, and said, 'Cut me,'" Mike explained. "He's going to follow through with that, and I was very happy with that."
They're on the set for the last shot that day, and it wraps easily. "We'll just do everything else but the glass," John notes. "Tomorrow we need to shoot scene 183, well will be the real acid test," Joel explains. "That's where we need to make it happen."
