02x05 - Rendezvous with Death

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Ice...

Are you seriously saying no to me?

We may not be ready
to be partners yet, Cameron,

but you really don't want me
as your enemy.

[CAM]: I k*lled your brother
with my own hands.

If you take out divorce proceedings,

I will k*ll you.

You really shouldn't
have come here, Malcolm.

Get the f*ck inside.

[PERCY]: You need more
than money to move goods.

You need contacts, connections.

A network.

[FREDDY]: The Anastasia diamond.

We're gonna sell it.

I can cut our rough to match it.

f*ck yes.

[CAM, READING]: "I have
a rendezvous with Death

"at some disputed barricade,

"when spring comes back
with rustling shade,

and diamond-dust fills the air..."

"I have a rendezvous with Death

when spring brings back
blue days so fair..."

[HORNS HONKING, BODY CRASHING,
TIRES SQUEALING]

"It may be God will take my hand

"and lead me to His promised land

"and close my eyes and quench my breath.

"It may be I shall pass him still

"and have a rendezvous with Death

"on some scarred slope
of battered hill...

"when spring comes round
again this year...

and the first meadow-flowers appear..."

[GROANS]

Come on.

Are you f*cking crazy?

Go on, pull the trigger.

Pull the f*ckin' trigger,

it's the last chance you're gonna get.

[CAM]: "God knows
'twere better to be deep,

"pillowed in silk and scented down

"Where love throbs out in blissful sleep

"Pulse nigh to pulse,
and breath to breath

where hushed awakenings are dear..."

Get the f*ck off me!

No! I helped you build this place,

turn it into a f*ckin' business!

Something more than just

a mom and pop f*ckin' hole-in-the-wall!

You don't do nothing
for anybody but yourself!

You ungrateful f*ckin' piece of sh*t!

[CAM]: "...But I have
a rendezvous with Death

"at midnight in some flaming town

"when spring trips north
again this year...

"and I to my pledged word am true...

I shall not fail my rendezvous."

[♪♪♪]

How long were you married?

What?

You and Mrs. Rose.

Oh. years.

Is there anything special
you'd like her to wear?

No.

You've selected the natural pine.

Excellent choice.

Thank you.

She'll be laid to rest at Mount Moriah

in the Green family plot.

Yeah.

When would you like
the announcement to go out?

No, no. No announcement.

I assume the family

will want to pay their respects.

My dad was the biggest c**t
in East London.

He was a thief,

a drunk,

a mean son-of-a-bitch.

Came downstairs for school,

and there he was
in the kitchen, you know?

Brains all over the f*ckin' floor.

No note.

No apology.

No f*ckin' money in the bank account.

You know what he left us?

He left us a f*ckin' poem
about meeting death.

What a f*cking coward.

These people do not deserve respect,

none of 'em.

You stick her in the ground.

Wow...

What?

It's just nice having you around.

You know, seeing you guys talk,

get along.

I know it's only for a few days, but...

it's still nice.

[SIGHING] Oh, my God...

Apparently, she doesn't know

that I slept in the basement last night.

Jake...

Yes?

How much longer do you think

that you and Freddy are going to be here?

I don't...

I don't know, okay?

Just ask Freddy, please,
because I don't know.

Okay.

But don't forget that
I have a trunk show today,

and the renovations start tomorrow.

I hope he's done soon.

I really do.

[BASEMENT DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

[FOOTSTEPS DESCENDING STAIRS]

It does not look like you're working.

You can't just jump into
something like this, Jake, okay?

You... you gotta see it
before you make the first cut.

Ah, that's what you were doing,

you were visualizing the whole...

Yeah, something like that.

Hey, you know what,
don't f*ck with my process.

What do you want?

Nothing, I'm just,

I'm going to the conference thing

to sign us up.

Yeah? All right.

All right, you got this, bud.

Hey, Jake?

Yeah?

I mean, you're sure

we shouldn't just go to Laser Mike's

and have his stupid robot cut it, right?

Freddy...

Freddy...

I'm sure, but are you sure?

I mean, come on, man, this was your idea.

Yeah, I know, I know.

Believe me, it would f*cking k*ll me,

but, you know,

it's a guaranteed $ ,
$ million, whatever,

that's a lot of money.

Yeah, sure.

And how much if you cut it?

For the Anastasia? Come on...

million, maybe more.

Can you? Can you cut it?

f*ck, yeah. I told you I could cut it.

Yeah, I'm just...

What? What is it?

You know, I haven't cut a stone sober

since I was, like, years old.

No...

Give or take.

Yeah, I used to be doing lines

in Alexi's parents' basement,

and then I'd come back here,

and, bam, bam, bam, I'd be in the zone.

Yeah.

Can you do it sober, though?

Yes, I can cut it sober.

I'm just talking.

I'm just, you know...
thinking about Rafa's family,

and everything we're trying to do here,

one little miscalculation, and...

If that's all it is,

hey, look, you got this.

Just relax, okay?

Yeah.

Man, I swear to God,

you're gonna give me a heart att*ck.

Hey, look, do not actually cut it,

not until you're sure.

Okay?

I know.

Get the f*ck outta here,
I know what I'm doing.

Jesus...

[SNIFFS]

[WINCING]

So, what the f*ck am I
supposed to do with you?

Get me a drink.

Please.

What are the pills?

I thought you could use

something stronger than aspirin.

I don't need them.

What would make me feel better

is you...

sitting right here,

and us getting to know each other.

I feel sad

for the type of woman that
that would work on.

Hmm...

Take those, Malcolm.

The shower is over there,

and Hilda has cleaned your clothes,

and you'll find them hanging
in the closet.

[DOORBELL BUZZES]

[SIGHS]

This ain't a good time.

No?

I just wanted to do some shopping, Cam.

Please?

Maybe use the family discount?

For old time's sake, you know?

So, what are you looking for?

You looking for something, uh, special?

Hmm.

. carat,

Asscher cut, diamond stud.

Well, that's lovely,

but I ain't got it.

Hmm, are you sure about that?

If you've got something to say,
f*cking say it.

When I caught Malcolm
in my hotel room yesterday,

he had one just like that,

and it's f*cking beautiful.

And I should know,

I f*cking bought it
in Tel Aviv last year.

It was hand-crafted.

It's just stunning, Cam,

and you stole it,

along with everything else
in my f*cking store.

You know, whoever robbed your store,

you oughtta be f*cking grateful.

Is that right?

So I should be thanking you, hmm?

No, the government w*nk*r who, uh,

who took what your father
bled and d*ed for,

you know, and then...

Robin-f*ckin'-Hood comes along,

and everything's right?

So, yeah, I think
that deserves a thank you.

If that's what happened.

You want me dead, old man!

[g*ns COCKING, CHAIRS CLATTER]

You do it yourself, Cam.

Whoa, whoa, not today.

Nobody else f*cking dies today.

Not today.

Now you've had your say,

get the f*ck out of my store.

Next time you cross my path,

or your son,

it'll be the last time.

Find my son.

Find my f*cking son!

Hungry?

Yeah.

Very.

So...

why exactly did you turn up to my door,

Malcolm Tobias Rose?

[CHUCKLES]

You think you know me?

Malcolm Rose,

only son of Cameron Rose

and Bella Davies.

One of the best heist-men in London,

although your methods are,
to say the least,

a little... messy.

I always get the job done.

Hmm, not always.

Two years in Wandsworth Prison.

Your best friend ratted you out.

But after you were released,

he disappeared,

Tragic.

Never seen of again.

Well, I hear Femi's family
is worried sick.

Hasn't been seen
since your little boat ride.

Touché.

Seems we both hate disloyalty,

doesn't it?

You know, there was a time

when I could have used someone like you.

Use me now.

Hmm, no, I said
there could have been a time.

Not anymore.

Hmm.

Let's take a ride.

I have to be at the office, darling...

That can wait.

[♪♪♪]

You'll be glad you did.

Hey, a little help?

Thanks.

[CLEARS THROAT]

f*ck it.

Hey.

Hey, Freddy.

This... This is all you?

"Saule Vert?"

[CHUCKLES] Yeah.

Wow.

H-How did you make this happen?

I got a little help from my family.

Your family?

Yeah.

I kind of had to eat sh*t,

but, you know,

sometimes you gotta do
what you gotta do, right?

That's right.

Um...

Okay...

How's it going down there?

Yeah, good, fine. Yeah, sorry.

I'll be out of your hair
real quick, I promise.

I'm just, you know,

I'm almost there, I'm almost there.

Um, hey, I was wondering,

could I borrow your... your old car?

I've got to run some errands.

Only if it's okay.

It's okay.

Thank you. Okay.

Um, oh, hey...

Good sh*t.

Really.

I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

Ladies, how are you?

Can I get you another glass of wine?

Uh, no, thank you, I'm fine.

Okay.

[WHISPERS] How's it going?

Okay...

[CORI]: Ava...

I dare say we have a problem.

Oh, there's no problem.

Marsha needs you to order another piece

just like this one.

That is a Dashiell Holland,

it's one of a kind.

Perfect, then it's settled.

I saw it first.

That only counts if you're six years old.

Ava Green,

meet Sydney Foular

and Marsha Roberts.

They're usually best friends.

[BOTH CHUCKLING MIRTHLESSLY]

Tell me, Ava, how much
is this little trinket?

, .

I'll give you , .

Okay, make it .

Marsha, you're embarrassing yourself.

This isn't an auction.

.

.

Okay, ladies...

I have an idea.

Hand me the Oleman.

I have this amazing piece.

White gold.

fire red diamonds.

Each one carat, each hand-cut,
and set by Mars Oleman.

You can both have an original.

I'll take it.

How about this.

I'll meet your asking price
for both pieces,

and I'll set you up with Emily Duran.

The actress Emily Duran?

You know her?

I certainly hope so.

I'm married to her father.

Wife number four,

the new and improved model.

Emily needs a necklace

for the ANA's red carpet on Saturday.

You'd be perfect.

Sold.

[GIGGLES]

I just love it when she's angry.

Do you take black?

It's my favorite color.

I like this one, Cori.

Keep her.

[QUIETLY] Okay, sold. There you go.

That's her card.

She'll get you all sorted out.

Thank you.

You said you wanted to meet
Emily's stepmother,

you met her.

We girls take care of each other.

Okay.

Pick something nice out for yourself.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

This is Ava Green.

Hi, Ms. Green,
it's Susan Bryant at Clearview.

Uh, yes, how can I help you?

I'm sorry to bother you,

but Ms. Rose asked us

to send her belongings to your home.

I just need an address.

Oh, I, um,

I believe there's been
some sort of mistake.

Sarah's decided to stay at the facility

for a few more days.

I'm so sorry.

Were you not informed?

Someone was supposed to call you.

About what?

Ms. Green, there's no easy way
to say this.

Sarah's passed away.

Last night, she k*lled herself.

[JAUNTILY KNOCKING ON GLASS]

Ramona,

Ramona...

How can I help you, Jake?

I'd like to reserve

our spot at the expo this year.

Corner booth, second row, like always.

And what company will you be listing?

Huh...

Let's go with Green & Green Jewelers.

I was under the impression

that Green & Green had dissolved.

Well, you'd be wrong.

Not according to the government.

I'm sorry, but we can't accommodate you.

Ramona...

we have been a staple at this event

for years, okay?

We pay our dues on time.

Our record is spotless.

Please,

I need this.

Okay, what about a private room?

There's one private room available,

but it's expensive.

To qualify,

your total declaration
must be at least $ million,

and, sadly, the deadline has passed.

What if I told you I have
a stone worth twice that?

One stone?

One stone.

carats of absolute beauty.

It's crystal clear,

cut to perfection,

and much like your smile,

it's flawless.

I can get you in
with a buyer's exemption,

but the registration fee is $ , ,

and I can only reserve your spot
for hours.

Gosh, Ramona, you are an angel.

Thank you.

Also, I need to see the stone.

What?

I need to see the diamond.

I can't just take your word for it, Jake.

Two days, or I release the spot.

Okay.

Two days.

[CHUCKLES] Bye, Jake.

You know, I, uh...

I spent all sixth period

thinking about how to introduce myself.

You know, something cool but not forced.

Witty, but doesn't sound rehearsed.

And what did you decide on?

I decided to walk right up to you,

and say, "Hi, my name
is Braxton Michaels,

and it would make my day
if you told me yours."

[SCOFFS]

[WHISPERS] That's lame.

I know, right?

Yeah, it is.

I suck.

Well, maybe you can try harder next time.

Next time.

Mm-hmm.

I'm Willow.

Nice to meet you, Willow.

I, uh, I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.

Maybe I'll see you tomorrow.

Maybe.

[SCREAMS] What the f*ck!

Are you okay?

Yeah, that guy just took my necklace.

Move, move!

Yo, you all right?

Yeah.

[MALCOLM'S VOICEMAIL]:
Leave a message, or don't.

I don't really care, mate.

[BEEP]

Malcolm...

look, I know you're pissed at me, kid,

but, you know, uh, this is business.

You know, we've got the first
delivery tonight, so...

I want you to be there.

Where is she, Cam?

The hospital called,

and they said they released
the body to you for burial,

and she's not at Cohen's.

I took care of it.

Right.

So, when is the service?

What do you want, Ava?

You want a shiva

so you can tell a couple of gags
and talk about her life?

What a wonderful wife she was,

a precious aunt?

You wanna reminisce
about the golden days,

before the miscarriages,

you know, before she went f*ckin' nuts?

No, you don't get to do that.

You don't get to rewrite history...

She wouldn't go out
of the f*ckin' house...

The women, the lies.

The verbal abuse.

You made her who she was.

When she wanted to break free,

you sent her away.

No, no, I just wanted to help her.

You wanted her dead.

I just wanted my wife,

the wife I married, you know,

but she d*ed f*cking years ago.

Okay, um...

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

She's buried in Mount Moriah.

Plot ,

next to her brother.

[EXHALES WITH SATISFACTION]

Did you catch him?

No, he got away, but...

he left this.

Oh, my God, thank you.

Did he hurt you?

I just want to go home.

Okay.

I'll, uh...

I'll walk you home, though,
if that's okay.

Thanks, bro.

Well...

This is fun, but...

I'm quite a busy woman,

so, um, maybe you need
to tell me why we're here.

The one on the left, his name's Oscar.

He's one of your legitimate couriers.

He was skimming off the top
of your diamond deliveries.

And how do you know that?

Because the man he was selling them to

was one of ours.

He's the unfortunate guy on the right.

Cameron.

No.

He had nothing to do with it.

I just found out myself last night.

They were stealing from both sides.

See?

There's no loyalty left in the world.

We can watch your back

in ways you don't even know you need.

"We"?

Yeah.

Me and my dad.

[CHUCKLES]

So, that's what this is.

Cameron sent his little lap dog

to try and get my trade routes...

He doesn't send me anywhere.

It's the smart play,

for all of us.

Well, I don't play games, Malcolm.

And I don't need you
and I don't need Cameron.

I'm perfectly capable

of taking care of my own affairs.

Thank you.

Those are the stones
that Oscar stole from you

and you didn't know about.

You see, we all need friends
in this business.

Especially loners,

like us.

[♪♪♪]

[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

Jakey!

Alexi, hey.

Hey, how you livin'?

Good to see you back around.

So, look, I need to talk to you.

I am an open book.

I need K.

[LAUGHS] What?

And I need it now.

Like, right now, okay?

I mean, come on...

I'm flat broke.

You are my only chance.

I just punched
Cam in the f*ckin' head, okay?

And I know he and Malcolm,

they're gonna come after me...

Malcolm...

is back in L.A.?

Yes.

He's working for Cam.

I never liked that "Suka."

Right? So then give me something.

What about those watches,
I can get those off your hands.

I mean, I can...

Sorry, Jake, that run's been made.

Okay, then give me something, all right?

I will do anything.

Anything.

[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

Olaf, get him a taxi.

Spasibo.

_

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

f*ck it.

[WOMAN SCREAMS]

f*ck.

Hello? Are you okay?

God damnit.

f*ck me.

M-Ma'am?

Are you okay?

sh*t...

Ma'am? Can you hear me?

Yeah, there's been an accident.

You know, what you did
back there was totally dumb,

and you could have gotten really hurt.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Besides,

it looks amazing on you.

Is it a family heirloom, or...?

Um, it's a gift from my mom.

A bribe to make me not
hate Williams so much.

Hmm.


Pretty expensive bribe.

Yeah, beauty of divorce.

Bribes get bigger, gifts get better.

When parents compete, you know?

Must be nice.

Yeah, at first, it was, but...

Anyways, how about you,

are your parents still together?

They are.

They're, uh, they're just not around.

Oh.

They d*ed.

A car wreck when I was six.

I'm really sorry.

Oh, it's cool.

I barely remember them.

[FRONT DOOR CLOSES]

Um...

Mom, this is Braxton.

Hi, Ms. Green.

You have a lovely home.

Thank you.

Willow, I didn't... realize
we were having company.

Yeah, I kinda figured

the no-boys rule gets waived

when they, uh save your life.

She's exaggerating.

Wait, what...

This guy, um, snatched my necklace,

and then Braxton ran after him

and he got it back.

He's kind of like a Prince Charming.

Were you hurt?

No, I'm okay, Mom.

Well, I'm glad you were there, Braxton.

I, uh, I should get going.

My uncle gets pretty antsy

when I'm late.

I'll see you at school tomorrow.

Yeah, I'll walk you out.

Thank you for having me.

Yeah.

[FRONT DOOR CLOSES]

Mom...

We need to talk.

Okay, you can't seriously
be mad about that.

Oh, no, honey, no.

No, no, no, no.

Um...

It's about your Aunt Sarah.

All right, so you guys
must be the buyers?

Cool.

[g*n CLATTERS]

You got my product?

You got my money?

Ow!

[GRUMBLES]

I won't ask again.

The trunk.

False bottom.

[SPEAKING CHINESE]

[SPEAKING CHINESE]

Where's my money?

You can tell Alexi

payback is a bitch.

It may be, but I'm not.

You would die for the Russian?

- [g*nsh*t]
- [SCREAMS]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Drop those f*cking g*ns!

You k*ll me, they k*ll you.

Yeah, you'll still be dead.

Drop the f*cking g*ns!

Now get me my f*cking money.

[SPEAKING CHINESE]

Back off.

[REPEATS IN CHINESE]

Back the f*ck off!

[REPEATING IN CHINESE]

[GROANING IN PAIN]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[g*nf*re]

[♪♪♪]

All right, well, listen,

I really appreciate you
looking out for my guy.

He's got some issues.

He's doing his best,

but you did a great job, man.

Thanks a lot.

Hey. What's up.

All right, so...?

The woman on the bike's gonna be okay.

Busted arm, but she'll be fine.

Good. God damnit.

I never even saw her.

She f*ckin' came out of nowhere, man.

I know.

Hey, they're gonna need to draw blood.

I need to know you're clean.

Yeah, I am. Totally.

- Don't lie to me.
- I am, Reardon.

I am clean, I swear.

All right.

You did not f*ckin' tell me
they were Triad.

[CHUCKLES]

You didn't ask.

You almost got me k*lled, Lexi.

Take Sasha.

Make up for your trouble.

[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

What kind of delivery did you
think was worth K, huh?

The dangerous kind.

If I didn't think you could do it,

I wouldn't send you.

I'm gonna need one more thing.

Something I can take home.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Hi, sweetheart.

[WILLOW]: Hey, Dad. You busy?

Uh, yeah, well,
I'm just running some errands.

Uh, what's up?

Think you can drop by later?

Maybe we can, like,
hang out, watch a movie?

Uh...

You know, I don't really know.

Okay, Dad.

Is something wrong?

Nothing, um...

it's just with the robbery
and everything,

it's been, like a really crappy day.

Robbery?

What robbery?

What, really?

What the f*ck are we doing here?

Time to face your demons, Freddy.

Okay, is this

some kind of reverse sober
psychology, or something...

Out, out.

All right.

I'll get your car back
to your sister-in-law's.

- Out, out.
- Fine.

You wanna fall off the wagon, I'm in.

Is this some kind of
blow the dealer thing?

Because I told you
I'm not really into that.

Cut the jokes, okay, Freddy?

You came here today for one reason,

to get high.

Yeah?

How do you know I wasn't here
to feed the homeless?

Look, man,

what do you want to hear?

You know what?

Here, I'm doing the steps,

I'm doing what you told me to do.

Here's your fearless
moral inventory right here.

Okay?

I'm clean, Ed.

I'm clean.

"Call Natalya."

Who's Natalya?

Nobody. She's just this...

really hot Russian chick

I should probably call.

I was trying to think of sh*t
to write down.

"Forgive Cam."

"Connect with Mal."

Cam's your uncle. Who's Mal?

Huh? Oh, Mal is Cam's son.

I haven't seen him since we were kids.

Look, honestly,

I should probably
cross that off the list,

because he's, like, this big-time thief.

So's Cam for that matter.

Look, you want the truth, man?

Yeah, I came here

to buy dr*gs.

But I'll tell you what,

for the first time in my life,
I wasn't doing it for me.

Yeah? Who were you doing it for?

It's not a who.

You see, I got one chance,

to take everything I f*cked up
and make it right...

and I don't think I can do it sober.

Here.

Go save the f*ckin' world.

Drink it, smoke it,

call a cab.

I don't give a sh*t.

It's on you.

[STARTS CAR]

[BUSTLE OF ACTIVITY]

Now, back it up, you're good...

Now, stop, stop, stop...

Where the f*ck's Percy?

What the f*ck is this?

This is what you paid for.

Oh.

Thank you.

Beautiful.

Percy says I can trust you.

You know, you got a lot
of moving parts here

for, uh, , carats of diamonds.

We don't traffic
in merchandise, Mr. Rose.

Uh-huh.

We traffic in networks,

and I am the king of those networks.

Percy has told me a lot about you.

Well, that's funny,

'cause he ain't told me
nothing about you.

Business is booming,

but I lost my cleaner.

It's hurting my bottom line.

I need to try and find someone
who can help me turn those...

into untraceable cash.

g*ns for diamonds, yeah?

No f*cking way.

But you haven't heard my price.

I don't need to.

I control diamonds.

This sh*t, dealing g*ns,

it's the quickest way to get you k*lled.

Then how am I still breathing?

Well, I wish you luck with that.

Percy said you'd be in.

Well, I think you should, uh,

have a little chat with Percy.

Hello?

Do we have a problem?

No.

We have no problem.

Hey, Boss.

They just found Malcolm.

Well, thank f*ck for that.

Where is he?

It's bad.

We should go.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

This is Ava.

Ava. Sydney. Is this a good time?

Is it ever a good time
to remodel your house?

I wouldn't know.

Are you still interested
in accessorizing Emily

for the Audience Awards?

Yes, absolutely.

Wonderful.

Emily's assistant will be in touch

to set up a meeting.

No promises,

but I told Emily
your collection was amazing.

That's... great, Sydney.

Wow, I don't know what to say.

Say, "I can handle this, Sydney."

Say, "I know your reputation is at stake,

and I won't let you down."

I can handle it.

%.

Good.

[FRONT DOOR CLOSES]

Hey.

Where's Willow?

Uh, she's upstairs doing homework.

Why? What's wrong?

I don't know, you tell me, Ava.

Our daughter gets robbed,

and you don't even think to call me?

sh*t...

Jake, I was going to tell you
just as soon as you got here.

She's okay.

No thanks to you, right?

What's that supposed to mean?

You put our daughter
in a $ , necklace,

like a walking billboard,

parading her around

in front of your
high-society Stepford Wives?

I mean, what the...

Don't-don't talk to me
about Willow, okay?

What if she had ended up in the hospital,

or worse, hmm?

You are such a f*cking hypocrite.

I'm a hypocrite?

Look at the life that you gave us, Jake.

With your go-bags and your g*ns, and...

Jesus f*cking Christ,

I was kidnapped because of you.

You know, you never seemed to complain

when the money was coming in.

Seemed to love it, actually.

Okay.

Well, look around.

This is my house,

my business,

and I don't need you anymore, so...

We don't need you.

Your house.

Your business.

Cars, private school...

How did you pay for all of it?

I mean, really, Ava, come on,

we both know

that there isn't a bank in this world

that would give you a loan, so...

please.

How?

My mother gave me the money, okay?

Bullshit.

I know your f*ckin' mom.

She wouldn't give you a dime.

No, no, no, not unless...

No...

How come you never asked me?

Asked you what?

When I woke up,

I told you

that I thought I knew
where the Holocaust Diamond was,

but you never asked me if I found it.

You knew that I didn't.

You knew that I couldn't.

Because you already did.

You found the Holocaust f*cking Diamond,

and you used my dad's diamond

to buy all of this sh*t!

You didn't give me a f*cking choice.

[WILLOW]: What?

Willow...

Mom...

how could you?

What's going on?

Where have you been? I've been
calling you all f*cking day.

Yeah, sorry.

I-I was just driving around.

Yeah...

You didn't, uh...

you didn't start?

I can't see it.

Well, things have changed.

We don't have any f*cking time.

We have hours,

and I gotta show the conference office

a fully-cut diamond.

[CHUCKLING RUEFULLY] f*ck...

You know...

growing up,

f*ck, man, I wanted to be you.

The one with all the skill,

the f*cking chosen one.

I need that guy right now, Freddy...

Jake, you're not hearing me.

You think I don't want to?

I want to,

for Rafa's family, for us...

I can't do it.

I can't cut the stone.

I'm...

I'm sorry.

And there's more where that came from.

Cut the f*cking stone.

[SIGHS SADLY]

Cut him down.

Here...

Aw...

I'm sorry.

I shoulda been there.

I shoulda f*ckin' been there.

[CAM, READING]: "I have
a rendezvous with Death

"At some disputed barricade,

"When spring comes back
with rustling shade

"And diamond-dust fills the air...

"I have a rendezvous with Death

"When spring brings back
blue days so fair

"It may be God will take my hand

"And lead me to His promised land

"And close my eyes and quench my breath

"It may be I shall pass him still

- and have a rendezvous with Death..."
- [TEXT ALERT CHIMES]

"...On some scarred slope
of battered hill.

"When spring comes round again this year

"And the first meadow-flowers appear

"God knows 'twere better

"To be deep-pillowed in silk
and scented down

Where love throbs out
in blissful sleep...

"But I've got a rendezvous with Death

At midnight in some flaming town..."

[SNORTING]

"Pulse nigh to pulse...

And breath to breath..."

Where hushed awakenings are dear

"When spring trips north
again this year..."

Open it.

"...And I to my pledged word am true

I shall not fail my rendezvous."
