[CAM]: Previously, on Ice...

[g*nshots]

[CAM]: Hello, my loves.

Have you missed me?

You did well, son.

Thanks, Dad.

[FREDDY]: We own a mine in Venezuela?

Yeah, this is what Pieter was after.

Is it producing?

Well, we could go there and find out.

Jump! Jump!

[a*t*matic g*nf*re]

[expl*si*n]

[SCREAMS]

[RAH]: What exactly is a diamond?

Some think it's love.

If that were true,

then anyone who agreed
to place it on their finger

would feel treasured
as long as they're wearing it.

Some would have you believe it's eternal,

but, like anything,

it can break under the right pressure.

[FREDDY]: Oh, my God. f*ck me.

Bad day to be off vodka.

[JAKE]: You're fine, Freddy. You're fine.

[GAEL]: Gentlemen!

Bienvenidos.

How was your flight?

[FREDDY]: Not good.

Not great, actually.

He has a fear of flying.

Well, no, I... no, I have
a fear of crashing.

[CHUCKLES]

Hey, thank you for coming
all the way out here.

Oh... Pieter Van de Bruin's
death changes nothing.

You are the owners of a mine
which provides jobs,

and for that, you deserve the respect.

Come on.

Sorry to hear about your brother.

Oh, I knew his life with that old man

would k*ll him one way or another.

Do you want to go to the hotel first,

get settled?

Uh, no... if you don't mind,

we'd like to go straight to the mine.

[GAEL]: Of course. La mina.

[CAR ENGINE STARTS]

So, have you found any promising samples?

Our foreman assures me
your mine has potential.

Potential? But no roughs yet?

Well, if the hunt was easy,

the find would be worthless.

[FREDDY]: What's going on up there?

Be calm. Let me talk to them.

[SPEAKS SPANISH] _

[SPEAKS SPANISH] _

He's asking for your identification.

Right. Okay.

[GAEL SPEAKS SPANISH] _

[GUARD SPEAKS SPANISH] _

He just said "cariel."
I think that means "jail."

Find your passport.

[GAEL SPEAKS SPANISH] _

[MAN YELLING IN SPANISH] _

[g*nf*re]

Stay calm.

What just happened means nothing to you.

You aren't going to report it to anyone.

Stay calm.

Smile.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

Muchos gracias, señor.

Vamos.

[♪♪♪]

[RAH]: What happens

to another when you promise your heart

and exchange a token that ties you

in such a ritualistic way?

They call it, "happily every after."

I'm not so sure.

There are so many choices,
it can be overwhelming,

but I'm here to help you
through every stage.

Did your daughter have a favorite color?

I don't really know, um...

Purple.

Like a queen.

Sorry...

we don't have a purple.

Perhaps blue? Also very regal.

No.

Fire.

Excuse me?

Red.

Definitely red.

It's a beautiful choice.

Red it is.

Would you like a plaque with her name

placed in a columbarium?

A columbarium?

It's the building that holds urns.

No, I want...

I want Palesa with me.

Of course.

Well then, we're all set.

If you have no more questions...

I can give you a moment.

No, of... of... of course.

It's fine.

I'll call you when everything's ready.

This process helps make it easier.

I promise.

I know that you mean well,

but promises don't mean
anything to me anymore.

Thank you.

You're going to like this place.

Yeah?

Yeah, they got fantasy rooms.

Fantasy rooms?

Yeah, you can pretend to be a pirate.

A f*cking pirate?

Or whatever you want, then.

A dragon. f*cking Aladdin.

You know, in my old spot,

you get a pint and a pull for a tenner.

Now I've got to pretend
to be Davey f*cking Jones

to get my knob polished?

Who?

He was a pirate.

You f*cking brought it up.

East End's f*cked.

No...

it's been upgraded.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You know, I don't really fancy
white titties, you know?

Something about pink nipples
I don't like.

Yeah... shaved minge... mm.

I don't care.

[CAM]: Let's jiggy-joggy, huh?

Turn around.

Lovely.

Right next door?

f*cking hell.

It's not a competition.

[DOORS CLOSE]

You do not have OSHA down here, do you?

Yeah, or child labor laws.

[GAEL]: If only everyone
could afford the simplicity

of an American view of the world.

Here, work is difficult.

Starving is worse.

Diego!

- Meet Jake and Freddy Green.
- How are you doing, buddy?

Very much a pleasure.

Diego's our head geologist and foreman.

Oh, okay. The man with the plan, huh?

Cool, yeah, let's, uh,
get this show on the road.

Can we see the mine?

Come this way.

Okay.

These are the latest kimberlite samples.

Mind if I...?

Of course.

[LOUD, ECHOING BOOM]

[GAEL]: Dynamite.

[DIEGO]: We're opening holes
in the vicinity.

Don't worry.

[GAEL]: With patience,

your mine will no doubt
produce more carats

than Venezuela's other mines combined.

[SPEAKS SPANISH] _I'm hungry

[QUIETLY] I'm not seeing anything.

What?

I'm telling you,

zero signs of a diamond
pipe in this mine.

You must've missed something, Freddy.

I'm not a licensed geologist,

but you know, Pop drilled
so much diamond sh*t

into my brain.

That sample they showed us was sh*t.

I'm telling you,

I'm not seeing any other markers.

f*ck me.

[YELLING IN SPANISH]

What the hell is going on?

Gael, what's going on, man?

Boy's a thief.

This kid is a thief?

[GAEL]: They learn very young.

Learn what, exactly?

Hiding roughs.

They hide them in knots in their shoes,

attach them to arrows,
sh**t into the forest...

sometimes even hide them up their ass.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

No! No! No!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Are you f*cking serious?

No! No way. That's not happening.

We have rules.

Yeah, well, so do we.
This is our mine, right?

Run and protected by me.

I'm going to blow that entrance up

and shut this entire thing down!

Relax, okay? No one's going
to blow anything up.

Can you let this go
just one f*cking time?

Besides, I'm not sure that they know

what a rough stone
even looks like, right?

No more feet, or hands,

or whatever else
you fuckers are chopping off,

or I swear to God, we'll pull out.

[SPEAKS IN SPANISH] _

[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]

Gracias, señor.

[GUARD YELLS IN SPANISH]

[DOOR OPENS]

Hi, Mrs. Green.

Hey, Mom.

Where've you been?

We got coffee after study group,

and then we just kind of drove around.

I told you I was making dinner.

Yeah, I texted you.

And you said you'd be home soon.

Here I am.

Four hours later.

And...?

Is four hours soon to you?

Is four hours soon to you, Hannah?

Because four hours is not soon.

[WILLOW]: Oh, my God, chill out.

Holy, she's a fricking n*zi.

What did you say?

Um, I'm going to go.

No, it's fine.

It's not fine.
She'll see you later, Hannah.

See you tomorrow.

Oh, my God. Seriously?

Yes, ma'am.

You don't check in. You're late.

After everything we've
been through, Willow...

- You!
- Excuse me?

Yeah, everything
you've been through, okay?

None of that happened to me,
Mom, remember?

So don't make me live
in some flipping prison

just because you're scared.

And what about the budget talk we had?

What part of "cutting back"
don't you understand?

You seriously think...

You don't even know.

I'm out.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Oi.

Ah! Hello, Malcolm.

Looking fit as always.

Tommy.

Nice to see you.

Hello, Cam.

[CAM]: Hi, Tom.

Good to see you.

Have a seat.

I've got some business
to do with your dad.

Yeah, well, my business
is my son's business.

Nah, it's cool, Daddy-o.

[CAM]: No, you stay here.

Give me the room.

Good.

All right, let's have a look
at what you've brought, then.

This lot retails at two mil.

I got five other rolls exactly the same.

You won't get what they're worth.

I f*cking know that.

My man will have to check
for inscriptions,

erase serial numbers,
inspect them and all.

Inspect them?

Yeah.

The next time gems this good
come through your front door,

your nuts'll be swinging
down by your f*cking ankles.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay. Okay.

Tell you what.

Give me six months, I'll move them clean,

get you top dollar.

- Two days.
- Oh, piss off.

I reach out to all my buyers,

my risk goes sky high.

Any one of them gets nicked

and runs off with the mouth,

we'll all go down.

Now, hang on.

Hang on.

We both know if you had other options,

you wouldn't be here.

We both know that you'd
f*ck your own mother

and your own grandmother

to have quality stones like that.

- Let's go.
- All right, hang on, hang on.

Come on, Cam, don't be stupid.

We both know I'm your best bet.

Now, look...

I know a guy

who might have the readies
to take the lot,

dump them all in Mumbai.

Mumbai.

Of course, there'll be a deep discount

for this kind of bulk,

and then my %.

.

Oh, well, that's not negotiable.

Everything's f*cking negotiable.

Times've changed, mate.

This is my firm now.

I'm top dog.

You pay my vig,
or you get the f*ck out. Simple.

Can I come in?

Like I have a choice.

I gave this to you for your birthday.

This is your favorite sweater.

All of those clothes down there
are yours.

Can you please just leave me alone?

Come on, Willow. Talk to me.

I didn't think I was going to get a lot,

maybe just enough to buy my own lunch

for the rest of the year,

so I wouldn't have to bother you
every morning.

You tried to sell them?

Yeah, but they're not worth anything.

Even my leather jacket.

The guy would only give me $ for it.

Oh, honey...

we're not in that kind of trouble.

You don't have to sell anything.

Money's just a little tight right now,

that's all.

It's just so not fair.

I know.

No, I mean...

Papa leaves me a diamond

worth, like, a gajillion dollars,

and no one can find it?

How does that happen?

I don't... I don't know.

I just don't know...

but what I do know

is that none of this
is for you to worry about.

That's my job.

I mean it.

I have homework.

Can I make you a plate, bring it up?

I'm just going to make food later.

All right.

You know, it really sucks
you thought I was shopping.

I know.

I'm really sorry.

There you are.

Jesus, f*ck. You scared me.

Didn't mean to.

It's, uh... ever since the kid,

I've been having visions
of one of those guys

shoving a rusty machete up my ass.

Yeah, about that...

they didn't look too happy
with you getting involved...

and you're missing the party.

[LAUGHS]

Yeah, well, it's not really my scene.

Is it some sort of AA thing?

Too soon to be around booze, or what?

I'm guessing it's always
going to be too soon.

You know, earlier, I asked a guard

for a pull off his canteen.

Turned out it was tequila.

You know what?

I almost said, "f*ck it."

What if I haven't hit my bottom yet?

You have.

I f*cking hope so.

I hope that Gael isn't too insulted

with us missing the party,

- You know what...
- especially after today.

f*ck him up his genocidal ass.

All right?

What, you would've been okay

watching that kid's f*cking hands

get cut off right in front of us?

I would have stopped it, 'kay,

but just, down here,

you've got to be a bit more diplomatic.

How am I not diplomatic?

"f*ck him up his genocidal ass?"

That's what you just said.

You just said that.

Fine.

You can handle
diplomacy from here on out.

You know...

go with me for a second.

I know, in my drug-filled haze,

I missed quite a lot,

but if I got this right...

everything Pieter Van de Bruin did

he did to keep his hands in this mine.

He wanted this. He knew something
was here, and yet, what,

they haven't found any diamond pipes yet?

Okay, then f*ck it, right?

Let's just go home,

and we'll find another source of cash.

No, no, no, what I'm saying is...

maybe just because

there weren't any pipes
in the area Gael showed us,

maybe that doesn't mean

there aren't some pipes here somewhere.

Pop owned...

this whole area was his mine, right?

Well, look, see the dry riverbed
right there?

The one that cuts through there,

and then there's the ridge
right behind it?

That's not part of the mountain.

So that suggests there was some
kind of shift in the earth,

like, thousands of years ago.

That...

if I was looking
for indicators of a pipe,

that's where I'd be digging,

not over there.

Okay, so,

Gael's showing us the
wrong side of the mine.

I... he...

He's f*cking us.

Hard.

My God.

Check it out?

Yeah, alone.

[CHUCKLES]

What the f*ck is that, huh?

Well...

that's a bit of fashion, mate.

You know what I mean?

If you're playing
for team f*cking Liberace.

Team what?

You know, he was a...

a gay pianist.

All the old ladies loved him, you know?

He sang that song, uh...

oh, I can't remember. f*ck it.

Your first bespoke, right?

Yeah.

First proper little...
you know, proper whistle.

Huh.

My mother, your grandmother,

first took me when I was .

Well, when I was ,

my mum was too busy

getting bounced off the walls of her flat

by her latest husband.

No sh*t?

How is your mother?

Horrocks Lane.

You want to know how she is,
Dad, go and ask her.

Yeah, yeah, okay.

Ah!

That's what I mean.

Look.

This is how I want people
to see you, yeah?

[JAKE]: Anything?

Dirt.

Freddy?

Hey, you got something?

They've been digging.

[FREDDY]: Here we go... core samples.

Holy sh*t.

Find something?

[FREDDY]: A f*cking garnet.

No better sign of a diamond load

than these babies.

That mother...

if that m*therf*cker's
been digging viable samples,

then he is storing them
somewhere around here.

Come here.

[DOG BARKING]

[DOGS BARKING LOUDER]

Ace!

[WHIMPERS]

Still a sh*thole.

I half expected you wouldn't come.

Here I am.

I made some sweet tea.

[JUDITH]: I've remembered you
in my prayers.

[RAH]: They're wasted on me, Sister.

You may not feel it now,

but His presence can be a comfort.

I don't want it.

The pain I feel lets me know

that I'm still alive.

Oh, Rahwia...

What is it they... they say?

"The Lord giveth...

and the Lord taketh away."

[JUDITH]: Blessed be
the name of the Lord.

Amen.

He gave me my baby back...

so I could watch Him take her away.

She d*ed in my arms, Sister.

I could feel her going.

No...

if you ask me,

He is a sadistic f*ck.

Rahwia!

Blessed is His name?

Well, f*ck his name!

[JUDITH]: Stop.

That's enough.

I can still feel her beside me.

Because she's still there.

No.

No, Sister Judith, she's not.

She's dead.

Did you bring what I asked you to bring?

[UNZIPS BAG]

If you ever need anything else...

There is nothing else

that I need from this place.

Being back must bring up
a lot of memories.

Uh-huh.

Thank you.

[DOG BARKING]

Don't remember that.

Ha!

Your brother painted that.

Part of his "therapy."

I told him it's ugly as sh*t,
but he's proud of it.

Sit down and quit pacing.

You're making me nervous.

I'm not pacing.

I'm just...

taking it all in.

Nothing's changed.

TV got bigger.

[WOMAN]: Mm. It always does.

Your room is exactly how you left it.

You know, there's even
a picture of Jason Wright

taped to the headboard.

That's just sad.

Mm-hmm.

He was asking about you the other day.

He's back in town.

He's working for his father.

Big surprise there.

Man, their business stinks
ever since "the sea" went dry,

but they'd put away a lot
for a rainy day.

Good for them.

So, are you going to tell me

why you decided
to grace us with your presence?

I need your help.

No sh*t.

Jake and I...

Yeah, you're divorced.

Anyway...

Isaac recently passed away...

Jake's father.

The company's gone. All of it.

I need to think about me and Willow.

I need to get on my feet,
secure our future.

And by "getting on your feet,"
you want me to give you money?

It's not what you think.

Ha!

Yeah, right.

It would be a loan.

I could easily pay you back
within the year.

I've got a plan.

Oh, so the Greens are into
counterfeits now, huh?

No.

It's real, Momma.

carats...

worth almost million.

f*ck me five ways to Sunday.

With some money,
I can start a business...

a clean business.

Not like this dirty one.

You know, you never had
trouble with this business

when it let you act all high and mighty

so you could bag Jake Green.

Okay.

I didn't mean it like that.

Mm-hmm.

I wasn't implying anything.

I'm sorry.

Before you go any further,
I have a requirement.

Okay.

What is it?

It's been ten years, Ava.

It's time I get to see
my granddaughter again.

You get Willow,
bring her over here for a visit,

and then we can discuss
your little venture.

f*ck him up his genocidal, thieving ass.

[SIGHS] That m*therf*cker.

[FREDDY]: It's one small chain.

Not very secure.

Us coming was a surprise.

They had to do this in a hurry.

Yeah, they didn't expect
us to look this deep,

so they didn't worry about security.

[FREDDY]: It's a whole f*cking lab!

f*ck me.

[JAKE]: Holy sh*t, man.

Guess Gael knew how to find diamond pipe

after all.

Yeah...

he said he hadn't found
anything promising yet.

Lying m*therf*cker.

What do we got here?

Guess he forgot about these.

Holy sh*t.

You old f*ck.

Did you really already get me
six and a half?

Top dollar?

Couldn't very well let down
an old friend, now,

could I, eh?

That's f*cking incredible.

Come on.

[CHUCKLING WARMLY]

Have a seat, Malcolm.

Nice.

Looking sharp.

Right.

Hope you slags have still
got some money left

for me to take.

Well, if I didn't know better,

I'd have thought

I was going to be
Tommy DeVito-ed or something.

What, you see plastic
on the floor, you bastard?

"What do you mean?
What am I, a funny guy?"

"Funny-looking."

"What, I make you laugh?"

"Oh, I amuse you?"

"What, am I funny, huh?"

[LAUGHING]

Hang on.

Yeah, Joe Pesci, huh?

Joey the Fish.

Bloody thing gets heavier every day.

Yeah, nothing changes.

Oi.

I'm not looking, Tommy, for f*ck's sake.

Not that I don't trust you...

But I don't.

Huh.

[LAUGHS]

Ooh...

There you are.

Whoa, whoa.


You know, I can see there's, uh...

there's not six-and-a-half there.

It'll get you set you up in I.A.

When the f*ck do I get the rest?

I don't know. Next week, maybe...

when I've shipped
the rest of the merchandise.

Ah, f*ck...

Ain't you going to count it first?

No, f*ck that.

No, I might have taken my % out.

You'd have a bigger problem
than you've already got.

I have a problem?

Yeah...

what with you being
the, uh, "top dog" now

and, you know...

"Pay the vig or get the f*ck out?"

You insulted me, Tommy.

Only told the truth, mate.

No, you know, usually, I let it go...

you know, call it a...

call it a mistake of judgement...

put it down
to you not knowing how to react

to me coming back out of the blue.

But...?

You did it in front of my son.

[GRUNTING]

Looks like you wankers

haven't gotten any better
at this game, have you?

[STRUGGLING, GRUNTING]

[LOUD CLATTER]

Look...

whatever's going down in there
has nothing to do with us.

All right.

Look.

I mean it, mate, all right?

Those are two very old dogs in there,

with a lot of sh*t to sort out.
It's not our fight.

Do you understand?

Yeah, we good, bro.

Oof!

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

[SHATTERING]

Where you going? Where you going?

I didn't want to take over, you c**t.

[THWACK]

That's not what I'm f*cking here for.

[THWACK]

If I wanted to take over this sh*t hole,

you'd f*cking give it to me.

[THWACK]

You f*ck me,

and I'll cut your f*cking head off.

[THWACK]

See? Nothing changes.

Here's your %,

and I better get the rest
of my money next week,

or I'm coming back.

[GRUNTING]

[REPEATED HITTING]

Malcolm...

Malcolm!

Enough!

Enough! Get out.

f*ck off.

Like a f*cking animal.

Go!

Gael, he wanted us

to fund the opening of the mine...

and yet, he was moving in our roughs

as his own.

Technically, they're Uncle Sam's roughs.

Technically. Who cares?

So how do they look?

Dad was right.

[SUDDEN MOVEMENT]

- Hey!
- Hey.

f*cking freeze.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We're just looking around.

Stand over there.

Hands on the table where I can see them.

[FREDDY]: Okay, all right.

[GUARD]: You, over there.

We were just looking around, man.

Not a big deal.

Okay, those are...

Sorry, oh, sh*t...

Hands on the f*cking desk.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

I just spilled the thing. My bad.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] _

_

Don't do that. Don't do that.

Hey, Gael will want to talk to you.

Hands on your heads.

Okay. Jesus Christ.

Go, go, go, go!

[expl*si*n]

[FREDDY]: What are you doing? Come on!

[JAKE]: Getting his g*n!

Tell me you didn't k*ll that fucker.

Oh, and this from Lennox f*cking Lewis.

[LAUGHS]

Finally, you said a name I've heard of...

[PHONE RINGS]

And he's retired. You should've
said Anthony Joshua.

Fine. f*ck you.

Yeah?

You f*ck me, Cam? Huh?

I trust you with my contacts, my men,

and you f*ck me?

[CAM]: Who the f*ck is this?

Oh, you sent your boys
down here for the roughs.

Gael?

What f*cking boys?

The f*cking Green brothers.

They'll be coming home in pieces.

Jake and Freddy?

What f*cking roughs?

What I'm hearing from you
is that you found roughs

and forgot to mention it to myself.

A few small stones.

They may be worth nothing.

Then why are you worried
about my nephews?

Are we still partners
in this little side venture,

or not?

Of course.

Then stop your f*cking whining
and take care of it.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

Please tell me
we're just passing through.

Nope.

This is where I grew up.

No wonder you never talk about it.

[LAUGHS]

Yeah.

So why does she want
to see me all of a sudden?

Oh, well, you know...

when people get older, they...

I have no idea, honey.

I don't know why she wants to see you.

She just does...

but I'm hoping she'll help us...

loan us some money.

How does anyone living out here

have enough money to help us?

You'd be surprised.

[PANTING]

Hold on. Let me rest for a second.

I probably shouldn't admit this...

but that was f*cking awesome.

[LAUGHS] I think you hit your head.

No, you're telling me

you don't feel, like,
a little high right now?

- Pure adrenaline, bro.
- Yeah. A little.

[LAUGHING]

- All right, a little.
- All right, let's keep moving.

Yeah. Which way?

We're going to go left.

[FREDDY]: You sure
this is the right direction?

[JAKE]: Yeah, it can't be too far.

[DIANE]: Well, well,
you are a looker, Willow.

I'm not.

Well...

you look just like your momma.

Of course, she wasn't as
well-developed as you back then.

Jesus, Mom.

That's why she had
to wear those tight clothes,

really tight clothes.

Otherwise, the boys
wouldn't even have noticed her.

Well, she's hot now.

Willow!

Can we please change the subject?

[DOG BARKING]

Do you live here alone?

Sometimes, Michael comes
and stays with me.

Michael?

Your Uncle Mitch.

Yeah, Uncle Mitch.

He's had some problems through the years,

but he has a very good heart.

I don't really remember
that much about him.

That's 'cause your mother
wouldn't allow you

anywhere near him.

He's a junkie.

Was a junkie.

Well, I didn't think it was okay
to have him around my baby.

Well...

she's her own girl now.

Maybe she can decide some of these things

for herself, right?

I guess...

[LAUGHS]

[AVA]: Nice chat.

Willow, will you, uh,

wait outside for me, please,

so I can talk to my mother?

Um...

well, it was...

nice seeing you, Grandma.

I just hope we get to do it some more.

Willow?

Call me Diane.

Yes, ma'am... Diane.

I'll be right there.

[WOMEN, SINGING BADLY]:
♪ I know what it means ♪

♪ To work hard on machines ♪

♪ Do you believe in love? ♪

♪ One that lasts for all time ♪

♪ You take me up ♪

♪ Oh-hoh ♪

♪ You take me up to a higher ground ♪

Jesus f*cking Christ...

Hey!

Do me a favor.

Put your cock in their mouths

and get them to shut the f*ck up.

[WOMEN]: ♪ Now I never want
to come back down ♪

Like someone strangled a cat.

[PHONE RINGS]

You arrange to meet me in a karaoke bar,

and then you make me wait on my own?

What am I, a schmuck?

No, look, I'll be there soon,

but... I've got to ask you...

[CAM]: Ask away.

I'm going to need my cut now.

"Disappearing" costs money,

and Tommy and his boys
ain't about to give up lightly.

Yeah, you don't have to worry about that.

f*ck, yeah, I do, all right?

[WOMEN]: ♪ You take me up ♪

♪ Oh-hoh ♪

Look, his crews are everywhere.

Couple of weeks in Cardiff just ain't
going to do the trick this time.

Tommy's had his ass kicked, okay?

He knows he's out of line.

He ain't going to come after you.

You don't have to worry about it.

I don't?

No...

because you're coming with me.

What?

Malcolm, the job you did for me in L.A.,

it was beautiful.

Now, I can use your talents

in La La Land.

Pack your bags, kid.

You know that's what k*lled Daddy.

You k*lled Daddy.

What?

Marrying that Jew-boy.

Running away to Los Angeles.

You do realize that Willow's
half-Jewish, right?

I never said I gave a sh*t,

but it damn near drove him over the edge.

I married Jake

because he was
the first thing that came along

that could get me out of here...

away from this family...

away from you.

See...

I looked at you

as the curse.

From the beginning of the pregnancy,

heaved my guts up
morning, noon, and night

'til all I could taste was bile.

Bitter, acidy, yellow bile.

Can still taste it sometimes...

like now.

Then you were born,
and you screamed non-stop.

Doctor said you were colicky
or some sh*t like that,

but I knew the truth.

I knew you were just
a little ball of hate.

A punishment.

Maybe I deserved it.

I thought of k*lling myself.

Hmm.

I actually considered that.

Then I realized

your father and your brother
couldn't last a week without me.

I even thought of...

of you being out of the picture.

We could have got along
just fine without you...

but then, one day,
you just stopped crying,

just like that,

and you barely said another word
for ten years.

Your father, he wanted
to send you to a doctor,

but I was, like, "f*ck me,

I am so glad for the peace and quiet."

And then it was puberty.

You turned into the town slut...

with your cut-offs,

and your tight clothes,

prancing around in front of the customers

while they were waiting
for their purchases.

Their meth.

Which is providing you

the money you're begging for now.

I am not begging.

I told you, I will pay it back.

Yeah, right.

You think of me however you want.

A curse,

a punishment...

I really don't give a sh*t.

The money.

Yes or no?

I said I used to think of you as
a punishment or a curse.

Then I realized

I was giving you too much credit.

What you always were,

what you still are...

is a disappointment...

in every possible way.

A complete disappointment.

Let's go.

What?

Now.

Hello?

Seatbelt.

Sorry.

You okay, Mom?

I'm fine.

Just want to get a jump on traffic.

What did she say?

She said, "yes."

I think you'll be pleased.

It's one of the most beautiful memorials

I've seen,

truly.

Would you like to open it now?

I can't.

That's a natural response.

You need to do this when you're ready.

You'll know when that is.

[FREDDY]: Dude, the trees
are getting thicker.

It's getting steeper.

We're definitely heading
further into the mountain.

We can't turn back, okay?

This guy's going to be on our ass.

You'd rather get lost

in the middle of the f*cking Amazon?

Yes.

[JUNGLE ANIMALS HOWLING]

Do you want to keep moving?

Why?

We're so f*cked.

[JAKE]: No.

Now we're f*cked.

[FREDDY]: Are you kidding me?

[RAH]: A diamond is not a commitment.

Anyone can dole out three months' salary,

brandish it on bended knee,

and wax philosophical about undying love

when, really, all they want
is to avoid being alone.

In essence,

a diamond is whatever you want it to be,

for whatever reason,

at that time.

A talisman for your most primal desires.

A symbol for your most fervent wish.

A lie, most likely, in the end.

My diamond...

is a soul.

My blood.

Palesa's ashes,

reborn as a red stone...

with a will,

and a spirit,

and a strong, strong heart.

As long as I can feel it
against my chest,

I know I'm alive.
