03x01 - A Winter's Tale

[bunniefuu]

Shadow, we're gonna be releasing you later this afternoon.

Your wife...

...she d*ed in the early hours of this morning.

My lucky coin.

♪ Give me my f*cking coin, dead wife.

You get your life back; I get my coin.

Deal's off, I'm keeping your f*cking coin.

I usually end up getting what I want.

I could be Mr. Wednesday with a shake of the hand.

I could use a fellow like you.

You're my man now.

When you start to piss me off, I'm gone.

We have a compact.

Hello, Shadow.

You're working for Wednesday.

Yeah.

What is it Wednesday is up to?

You want us to go to w*r.

Believe me, these New Gods are not going anywhere soon.

They've already replaced us; now they want to destroy us.

Your att*ck will only work against you.

Make it easier for Odin to convince those who were on the fence to join his cause.

Guard my spear as you will guard my life.

Wars are coming, Shadow.

I have a big role for you.

I was k*lled by a God.

Which f*cking God?!

Wednesday.

f*ck that guy.

I guess I believe in him.

I wanna believe in you.

He's Wednesday's now.

Hurts when someone takes what's yours.

Love...

is the most powerful w*apon of w*r.

Love and w*r may sit on opposite sides of a coin, but only so they may never meet.

What do you think happens when you touch a God?

What happened to our arrangement?

Go help save Shadow.

You owe me a battle, Grimnir.

You really want to know why I picked you?

Just tell me.

We are the same.

Like father, like son.

Sometimes you remind me of my son.

Your son?

I want to believe in you.

Gods are real if you believe in them.

The storm is coming.

Whoever did this, I curse.

f*ck!

Someone here is gonna die soon.

Don't get in the f*cking way.

Sweeney d*ed last night.

I'm gonna k*ll Wednesday.

Are you gonna try and stop me?

Free country.

State police agencies have connected these suspects...

f*ck!

My boy is gonna be just fine.

You drop-balled that entire pile of frag before lunch?

Yeah, but you only been on the line a minute and you roll like that?

Damn, you're a quick study.

Well, I got a good teacher.

Okay.

Okay, I'll take that.

Hey, Mike, you got a minute?

Yeah, sure.

Uh, catch you in the break room?

Yeah, you will.

We got some bones to slap, so don't even think about skipping out on the ass-kicking I'm about to lay down.

Sorry.

Sorry, boss.

Mike, you're aware we've been having issues with staffing.

We just landed this m*llitary contract.

There's not a lot of wiggle room in the bid.

We want to put our best people on it...

And with me being new...

I'd like you to be on the project.

Position comes with a pay raise and all the overtime you want.

Interested?

Yeah.

Of, of course.

Um, I don't want to leave my team in the lurch.

Well, Sadie's the one who put you up for the job.

She's got an eye for talent, thinks it's a good opportunity for you and I, uh, agree.

I don't know what to say.

Uh, thank you.

All right.

And since this is a government thing, the feds are gonna do a background check, make sure you're not a spy or whatever.

Pretty routine.

Just, uh, hide the p*rn when they come to pay a visit.

Yeah, sure.

Will do.

Look, Brigitte, your boy was swinging his magic voodoo d*ck around telling me he could bring the leprechaun back.

- Yo, Brigitte.

- Hiya, George.

It was three f*cking months ago.

What is the deal?

I'm gonna be real with you, Lil' Bit.

That big d*ck is as magic as it gets.

But, heh, he ain't been swingin' it at no f*cking leprechaun.

Let me talk to Samedi.

Like I told you last time, he's in Hialeah at a loa family reunion.

When the f*ck is he back?

I'm the Lord of the Dead's f*ck buddy, not his appointment secretary.

Look, I know Samedi gave it his best sh*t.

Potions, gris-gris, the whole nine.

But, heh-heh, resurrecting a god isn't as easy as you'd think.

Especially when no one believes in him anymore.

What if you didn't have to bring him all the way back to life?

I mean, what if he just had to be undead enough to perform a relatively simple task?

Such as?

I need something from his hoard.

It's...

It's a revenge thing.

There's a certain m*therf*cker that's got it coming.

You sure revenge is the only reason you want this leprechaun back?

Not that it's any of my business.

No, it's really not any of your business.

But, yes.

Payback's the only itch I gotta scratch.

I'm afraid you're out of luck, Lil' Bit.

There's really nothing more the Baron can do.

Good news is, Sweeney's pretty well preserved.

If he didn't have god energy, he'd be a puddle of Irish stew by now.

Oh, that's fantastic.

A good-looking corpse doesn't really get the job done.

What about this?

The gris-gris Samedi gave me.

Would this work on him?

The magic in that secret sauce is meant for you and you alone.

My f*cking luck.

Et voilà!

This is him.

God rest his soul.

I just buried him today.

Oh, no.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Decent, kind, good-hearted.

Well endowed.

The hands tell the tale.

He was also a liar, a cheat and a con man, capable of deception and great cruelty.

He was transformed by the grace and forgiveness of his family.

It was forgiveness that allowed us, me, to see past his failings.

But a man's sins can never be undone.

If my husband could speak now, he'd offer his humble apology for all the hurt he has caused.

Even though he is now with the angels, I can hear him say it.

Nice party trick, assh*le.

Go f*ck yourself.

You're not extracting me from anywhere.

Doesn't include you.

You were supposed to go to Lakeside.

Or didn't the address on that driver's licence make it clear enough to you, Mike?

I don't do your bidding anymore.

I'm not your man.

This is not the best time to discuss our compact, given your legal situation.

Well, you're gonna have to come up with a better con than that.

Today you were supposed to tweet, post, clap back, trend, and go high key with our messaging.

But instead of taking the first glorious steps towards building a virtual church of the mind...

...we have this.

The fur-leather combo's pretty dope.

Predicting what the chimp-people will care about is an inexact science.

This...

...is not control.

Mike Ainsel!

♪ You've grown some serious balls.

I'm proud of you.

I told you to stay the f*ck away from me.

Everything that you've heard and seen since we first met must have been running around in there the past few months and you couldn't talk about any of it to anyone, huh?

We're gonna play Twenty Questions, and they're all yours.

Fire away.

You really my dad?

Oh, is that still a point of speculation, considering our shared traits?

Huh?

Charisma, strong jawline, way with the ladies.

- - I am done with the fuckery.

Okay, so no more riddles, no more talking in circles, okay?

If you want forgiveness, I want answers.

You owe me that much.

- So, Mom?

- Mom.

Another one of your conquests?

That why you abandoned us?

That's two questions.

First one, your mother.

My relationship with her was a mistake.

She was too young and I was...

me.

Oh, so she was just a nut and run?

I never met anyone like your mother.

There was a light about her.

Yeah, yet you still left her.

She left the country.

Oh, really?

'Cause it's not like you went after her.

I'm bound to these shores.

If I were ever to leave, I would cease to exist.

It's one of the penalties you pay for being a god who comes to America.

Yeah, well she came back to America.

Along with your son.

If you're telling the truth.

Believe it or not, I'm just trying to save the human race from itself.

Wow, people are gonna be so pissed when they find out the messiah that everybody's been waiting for...

is you.

I do remember a time when man lived in harmony with nature.

But now he's made technology his god.

And what's it gotten him?

Pesticides in his water, in his food, weapons that can destroy the earth a thousand times over.

New Gods.

Heh.

They're just parasites.

The only reason they're here is to make it easier for humanity to indulge in its most self-destructive impulses.

Until the world ceases to exist.

And, without followers, so will you.

Well, I don't see any conflict in enlightened self-interest.

So, you are on a mission to save humanity, and you're just trying to draft me into this w*r?

Well, it's a volunteer army.

I can't do it all on my own.

Who in the hell knows if you actually believe anything you just said?

And you're still running around not knowing who you really are.

Huh.

- We're done.

- Well, you've got about 14 questions left.

Yeah, I kinda got all the answers I need.

Oh, you can be your own man all you want until destiny kicks in.

Why don't you ask me if I need you?

Why?

Because w*r is coming, Shadow.

And if I don't have the loyalty of my own son, how can I expect support from anyone else?

Yes, I need you, Shadow.

And, besides, we're the only family we have.

♪ Wo-o-ow!

Spectacular new look.

And, and I get it.

White guys are not on trend.

Evolve or perish, am I right?

Sit.

Great idea.

Understand: The more attention Wednesday gets, the more powerful he becomes.

So he has some traction.

We put up a cat video, the old fossil's history.

Yeah, why are we worrying about this?

All it takes is for that old fossil to throw a lightning bolt into the power grid and you're all offline.

Grandpa Viking?

You're totally overreacting.

You were all created by me for a specific purpose.

Fail at that purpose and this is what happens.

Are we clear?

Boss, you're k*lling it, but, uh, can we have the room?

I have been feeling a certain degree of hostility towards me lately.

You and I are chill, right?

Let's review: you turned an intelligence-gathering operation into an act of w*r with Shadow Moon.

Okay, we've been through this..

You still haven't delivered Bilquis to our side.

You even managed to f*ck up your own system upgrade.

Shall I continue?

Fine.

Clearly, I have not been meeting your level of expectation.

Mea culpa.

King Kamehameha culpa.

You're procrastinating with Bilquis.

Why?

I am being strategic.

I am letting her live into the reality that she owes me big time.

I'm feeling very optimistic about the outcome.

I don't give a f*ck about what you feel.

Just get it done.

And...

what is taking so long with the financing for the SHARD project?

You and I both know that a digital pipeline direct into every cerebral cortex on the planet is a no-brainer.

But, as strange as it may sound, bankers have some hesitation pumping 20 billion into a yet-to-be-developed vanguard technology that will forever change human consciousness as we know it.

Your job is to convince these people.

Not make excuses for them.

With respect, asking the primates for money to build it feels...

super weak, when we can just hack into the World Bank and f*cking loot the place.

SHARD requires human participation.

The humans need to believe that they're the ones building a virtual church of the mind.

Once it is operational, we will control it and the Old Gods will finally be obsolete.

Hm.

Um, more than they already are?

Don't underestimate Wednesday.

He can still hurt us.

Which is why I'm taking him off the board.

Uh-huh.

I'm here to collect.

I enabled you with the means to not just survive but to live...

large.

Only seems fair that you return the favor.

I want you to join our coalition against Wednesday - and his irrelevant, medieval friends.

- No.

When you were on the skids...

...did the All-Father so much as offer to lend you a caribou pelt to keep you warm at night?

And you?

You only helped me with expectation of gain.

I have no love for Wednesday or his ilk, but I intend to stay neutral.

I have seen w*r.

It doesn't solve anything.

w*r only brings misery and death.

Well, I promise that our w*r is going to help a lot of people, or a few people a lot.

Either way, you get to be one of them.

And you have a destiny to fulfill, so don't screw it up.

Or everything will come to an end.

What destiny?

How the f*ck should I know?

It's beyond my sight.

Oh, you know all about erasing history, don't you?

I think it's two below zero out there.

I just got into town.

I didn't...

I didn't think it was gonna be this cold.

Up here in the Great North Woods, we call this late summer.

January is what we call cold.

I'm gonna get you a cup of coffee.

Would that be all right?

You think that'll warm you up a little bit?

Yeah, that, that, that'd be real nice.

Thank you.

- Okay.

- Oh.

Is there, I dunno, a cab company I can call?

Yes.

Yes, there is.

Chad, I have a gentleman here that needs a ride up to Gorman Street.

Oh, you're a doll.

Okay.

Okay, great.

I'll see you in a minute.

Bye-bye.

Our cab driver is out of town for the holidays.

Abner heads down to the Sea of Cortez to do some marlin fishing every year.

Mike Ainsel.

Mike.

That's a really nice name.

- Thank you.

- Yes.

Oh, well, it's nice to have some company in here.

The store can get really quiet.

That's quite the collection you got here.

I know it.

I am, I'm pretty proud of it.

Is there much demand for videos these days?

Well, there is when you live in a town with spotty Internet.

And don't get me started on the cell service.

Not that I'm complaining; the extra income helps keep - I don't know - body and soul together or something like that.

Oh!

You the fellow that needs a ride?

Chad's the law in these parts.

And temporary taxi driver every year 'round this time.

Okay, well, give me your coffee cup.

- Thank you.

- All right.

- After you.

- And take care.

What most folks don't know is that the first settlers here, Lloyd and Martha Pruitt, were British loyalists, a little detail they had to keep under wraps in order to be awarded a homestead.

So, how long you planning on being in town?

I don't know.
