However, his true motive is revealed when he asks Sally to not perform the scene which features Sam’s history of abuse. Sam gets agitated with Sally and scolds her, calling her a liar. Meanwhile, Barry is waiting outside of the hotel room with a gun. When Sally opens the door, Barry has a clear shot at Sam, but freezes up and runs away.
