Listen to me, goddammit,
I don't have the artifact,
and I don't know where it is.
Evelyn?
No.
She don't even know about it.
It was all my id--
You leave her out of this.
Look,
You gotta believe me,
I don't know where the damn thing is,
I'm telling the tru--
I remember a song I used to hear as a child,
It began playing when I'd look up at the sky
and realize I wasn't in the place I wanted to be.
I'd walk alone, daydreaming until the sun would go down.
That song played for me all the way up until the end.
I knew what he had meant then,
Everything was connected.
Harris,
I don't have time for this.
I don't think you do, either.
I guess he beat me to it.
Look,
This isn't exactly "pennies from heaven", Harris.
There's actual work involved on our part.
Splitting it four-ways isn't just ridiculous,
it's basically giving away what's ours.
Have you flipped your wig?
Look, I've known this guy longer,
Hell, he got me my first real job.
This guy ain't like everybody else,
He got eyes and ears everywhere.
I once saw him--
--Swell,
So you're too chicken to play ball.
A quarter of the profit for half the work.
When did you become Stillio's flunky?
Listen, Evelyn, I ain't no flunky,
but I also ain't no chump, neither.
I'm not new to this game,
I had to go through the *** wringer
to get where I am now.
And yeah,
sure,
you don't think I haven't considered double-crossing Stillio before?
I have,
and let me make it perfectly clear when I say,
being on Stillio's bad side,
it ain't no picnic on Crystal Cove, if you get what I'm saying.
I've heard every story on this guy,
the demon from hellfire to the swear you'd call me a liar.
They say Stillio's in cahoots with the devil himself.
Says he can get to you anywhere,
and he won't just kill you,
no, see, not his style, that's too simple.
He'll make you suffer first,
and I ain't talking abou--
--Alright.
Don't snap your cap.
That's a nice line,
"in cahoots with the devil."
Did Stillio tell you that one himself?
Now I'm about to ask you something,
and I want you to really wrack that brain of yours for this.
What does Stillio actually do?
Besides sitting around his office collecting a share of the profit from the people below,
the people that do all the real leg work.
This is all above my pay grade.
I'm happy with the way things have been running.
You really want to run off with Stillio's share,
go ahead and try.
Sure, you can skip town,
but for the rest of your life,
you'll be looking over your shoulder,
and I'll be damned if you make me go down that path,
that ain't a path I'm ready to--
--I'll be too busy living to worry about who may want me dead.
With that kind of money, we'll never have to pull another job for anyone again.
Don't you realize it, Harris,
this is what we've both wanted for years.
This is a nice place,
how'd you manage to get us in before they opened?
I know the owner.
At least hear what I have to say.
Alright,
spill it,
let's hear what that pretty head of yours came up with.
what this amazing scheme you've got is,
this, brilliant--
--It's simple.
When the job is done
we go straight to Samuel instead of Stillio.
We hand him the objet d'art
and explain that Stillio sent us to make the drop and collect the dough.
When he pays us,
we split the cash fifty-fifty,
go our separate ways and never have to see this crummy city again.
Object-deh-what?
Who the hell's Samuel?
And whad'ya mean crummy?
Samuel is the dark fellow Stillio sells all his merchandise to.
When the man posing as the guard hands us the artifact,
we're supposed to take back to Stillio.
He takes it to Samuel,
collects the thirty million, and splits it between the four of us.
You're suggesting we cut out the middle man?
It's only fair isn't it? We're doing all the real work.
What about the guy at the museum?
Sounds like he's doing the real work.
We're just...
Transportation.
We've done our share of real work in the past,
this is gonna be our easiest, highest paying job,
and if we play our cards right,
it can be our last.
I have always wanted to see Barbados.
You know what?
I can't believe I'm saying this,
but you're right.
We have been doing all the real work these past couple of years, and
jeeze,
retiring in my twenties?
Not too many people get that kind of break.
'sides, when we go our separate ways,
he won't just be looking for me,
he'll be after you, too.
Hell, I'll probably have a pretty good head start
on account of he'll be too busy hunting you down to worry about little old me.
Guess he gave you the easy way out.
He always did like you best.
Got a light?
So the Arab tells you it ain't worth a dime.
What the hell did Stillio want with it then?
Why was he willing to pay us so much bread for a *** piece of stone?
Think we can still bring it back to Stillio?
Pretend the whole thing was a joke.
No.
By now he would already know what he planned.
Samuel would have already called him.
You mean what you had planned.
So now we got stolen goods that ain't worth nothin',
we got no money,
the cops are probably looking for us,
oh, and we got a guy who wants us both dead.
Peachy, Evelyn, just peachy.
This has to be worth something,
he wouldn't be willing to pay so much if it was worthless.
You think that Arab was lying about its value?
Okay,
you hold onto that thing.
Find out its worth, if any.
I'll be staying at the Moon Dreams motel.
Contact me if you should figure something out.
Alright, I'll give you a ring if I find out anything.
No send me a letter,
I don't trust telephones no more.
Where can I contact you?
I'm at the Starlight inn.
You know,
I didn't do this for the money,
I did it because you seemed so confident.
Same reason I always listen to you I guess.
Irregardless, I trust you on this.
You know that, right Evelyn?
Evelyn?
If you want to kill me, go ahead,
but don't insult me.
I wasn't stupid enough to bring the thing with me,
and you'll never find it if I'm dead.
Harris, what happened?
Saint Peter couldn't take that incessant rambling of yours?
I never thought I'd say this, but would you speak up?
I can't hear what you're saying.
Even the dark uncovered recesses between the world systems
where the resplendent moon and sun do not shine there arose an immeasurable
effulgence transcending the splendour of the gods.
Beings born there saw each other on account of that effulgence and knew
that there were other beings born there. The ten thousandfold world system shivered
and trembled on account of that immeasurable effulgence transcending the splendor of the gods.
Could you repeat that, please?
Preferably in English this time.
Evelyn,
everything is connected now,
do you know who you are?
Do you see?
Do I see...
What?
Harris.
Harris?
Stillio is dead.
He was never the threat.
The men he works for are.
As long as you have the artifact,
they won't kill you.
They're in your head now,
They're using me to get to you.
They want to break you.
You're not safe here anymore.
Where exactly is here?
This life.
They have eyes everywhere.
You need to escape
You need to use the artifact.
Your mind is slipping,
you don't have much time left.
Your people have always had a link to the artifact.
Use it.
They've been here since long before us humans, Ruth.
They're everywhere, all the time!
Heck, they're probably here with us as we speak and we just can't see them!
I knew this place wasn't dead,
all my customers are just invisible.
Now if you could just get them to order some food.
I'm serious! They're here right now just waiting for the perfect moment.
Well tell 'em not to wait too long, we close at six.
They've got this whole plan I tell you,
when they...
Wait a second,
you think I'm crazy, don't you?
Oh, no, Ed, I know you are!
What if I told you that they took me up there with them and
I looked down on this place from the heavens.
Tell me I'm crazy now!
You had the whole world to look at and you chose this dump?
Well, Ed, you are crazy!
When they get into your head,
you'll see then.
They'll slowly take your life away from you,
your mind will belong to them and they will crush you from within.
They will take away your will to live and you will beg for death.
You will only know fear, only pain, only torment.
Hell will seem like heaven when you get there and you
will kneel before the devil
thanking him for his mercy.
You will believe him to be God in all his kindness,
Yet inside you will know God has abandoned you.
God can't help you anymore.
They will have you now, Evelyn and you will never be free of them.
This the best you could do?
Change my notes to some ancient language?
I'm being haunted by a group of translators and absurd radio comedians.
You gonna finish that?
How did I get here?
How did either of us get here?
To think,
in a few hours, we'll be on easy street.
What do you mean?
What day of the week is this?
This,
is some really good orange juice.
It's not too smooth,
it's got those little pieces in there so you know it's not that watered down stuff they serve at cheaper places.
It's Tuesday.
Tuesday,
the day before we take the artifact.
You know what's funny, Evelyn?
You still don't see the bigger picture.
You were meant to have the artifact.
Hell, it's practically been looking for you.
I'll cover this one.
They want me to pass on some information to you
regarding what they expect you to do next.
They say if you follow,
they'll stop messing with your head.
That's the way the story goes, anyway,
but we both know it ain't that simple, right?
They are so deep in your head right now,
and you are so far from reality,
that there ain't no going back.
That road is closed.
When they get out of your head,
you're dead.
Hell, you're practically already dead.
They want you to meet them at the warehouse in one hour.
They want you to bring the artifact and leave it in the room next to the stiff.
That role is played by me.
Anyway, don't do that,
Unless you also want to play the role of a corpse in a warehouse,
and trust me, it ain't all it's cracked up to be.
Instead,
bring the tablet,
make them think you're playing ball,
and then use it against them,
'cause it's the perfect time.
They'll all be there,
it's in your blood,
use it to escape.
Got a light?
How do I use it?
What am I supposed to-
Some choice you're giving me.
I planned on killing you myself and keeping the money.
You would've never seen it coming.
Thanks for the help.
Too bad about Barbados, huh?
I knew what he had meant then,
everything was connected.
