Sister Simone,

you must locate the Holy Grail.

I don't want to talk to It.

'Cause It k*lled your dad?

Yeah, 'cause It k*lled my dad.

Your mother is such a genius.

If I could just have a peek

inside her workshop.

[CROSSBOW WHOOSHES]

What's your name?

- Lizzie. What's yours?

- Wiley.

I've always wanted

to meet a real cowboy.

- Damn it, Lizzie!

- Hey! My name is Simone now.

What did you say when I proposed to you?

I said yes, Jesus.

The Algorithm distracts Its users,

sends them on little quests

for f*cking Wings.

You use It long enough,

It gives you Wings, right?

Wrong.

It uses you long enough,

It gives you strings.

[TENSE MUSIC]

After you find It, I will end my life.

Do you know where the Holy Grail is?

This is the last person known

to be in possession of the Grail.

Her name is Clara.

It did give me a clue a phone number.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hi, this is Clara.

My god, Clara.

I'm looking for the Grail.

Where are you?

- [PHONE BEEPING]

- Oh, we got a hit!

Number's in London.

Then I guess we're going to London.

[DRAMATIC ORCHESTRAL MUSIC]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]



You cannot win.



You're beaten.

Just let go.

Never!



Why are you doing this, laddie?

Why?

Funeral or festive?

Oh, uh, really?

I already feel kind of

like I can't breathe.

The tie is the uniform of the enemy.

And if you don't wear it,

they'll sense you're not one of them.

Think it'll just be way less satisfying

when you blow their f*cking minds.

All right, all right.

Let's go with festive.

- Okay.

- [CHUCKLES]

Tonight, at the Truckee Park Arena

- Do you know how to do this?

- I don't know how to tie a tie.

Okay.

Who will be unlucky 13?

Jezebull, Jezebull, Jezebull!

Officially designated

a w*apon of mass destruction!

Tonight, at the Truckee Park Arena,

behold the unbridled fury of Jezebull!

[SUSPENSEFUL WESTERN MUSIC]

What kind of idiot would

actually get on that thing?

Well, bulls aren't actually that bad.

In fact, some of them are kind of sweet.

Respect to your bona fides, pardner,

but you haven't been in a rodeo

since you were 11.

[SOUTHERN ACCENT] Oh, well,

I'll have you know, darling,

I conquered many a steer

back when I was a young'un.

Oh, great.

Then you shouldn't be scared

of a bunch of lawyers.

Okay, let's go through it one more time.

Ready? Good. Okay.

I got this. Ow.

They'll go through their song and dance.

Then you take out the envelope,

melt their faces off.

And then they will say

[GRAVELLY VOICE] "Young man,

you can't be serious."

I'm serious. I'm serious.

I've thought about this a lot,

seriously. Uh, this decision

[NORMALLY] You don't need

to overexplain.

Right, right, right. Okay.

[GRUNTS] Okay.

I am serious.

In fact, I'm only gonna take enough

to get me and the woman I love

started in Alaska.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

And that's it.

[GRAVELLY VOICE] Mr. Wiley, as we are

heartless attorneys unswayed

by absurd romantic notions,

are you absolutely sure

[NORMALLY] That this

is what you want to do?



I have never been more sure

of anything in my entire life.

[SWELLING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC]



For courage?



[SIGHS]

Oh, whoo!

We're going to Alaska.

For courage.



Mr. Wiley.

Your mother and father

They were wonderful people.

We were so sorry to learn

of their tragic death.

Also, happy birthday, by the way.

Oh. [CLEARS THROAT] Yes.

Thank you.

I have here a copy

of your grandfather's last will

and testament,

which states that you,

Preston John Wiley III,

on the occasion

of turning 25 years of age,

will inherit the entirety of the estate,

the value of which,

as of today, is $712 million.

I'm giving it all away.

Are you gonna ask if I'm serious?

Aren't you serious?

Oh, people!

I don't need to overexplain.

Morally, I cannot accept

this grotesque wealth,

and so I have signed

it all away to charity.

Everything except $85,000

for a cabin in Alaska

for me and the woman I love.

We're driving there today.

And there is nothing

you can do to stop us.

- There ain't

- [DING]

- No

- [DING]

- Stopping

- [DING]

- Us

- [DING]

- Now.

- [DING]

[WHISPERING] I have never been more sure

of anything in my entire life.

Great.

Whatever you want, son.

If you'll just hand over

that relinquishment

of the inheritance,

we'll do whatever you ask.

[DOOR CRASHES OPEN LOUDLY]

[TENSE WESTERN MUSIC]



Bo?

You know this man?

Gentlemen, pardon the intrusion,

but I have business

with Preston Wiley here.

[LOUD METALLIC THUMP]

Son, there's a secret

that's been kept from you

your whole life,

and before you take all this money,

you got a right to know who you are.

Now, some fellas, they don't

want to know the real truth.

But if you do,

and any real cowboy would

just say, "Tell it to me straight, Bo."

And I will.

Tell it [CLEARS THROAT]

To me straight, Bo.



About 20 years ago,

your grandfather knew

his foot was rearing back

to kick the bucket,

so he decreed that his inheritance

would skip a generation,

bequeathing

the whole damn piñata to you,

his beloved grandchild.

All you had to do

was live to the ripe old age of 25.

But son, you were born busted.

Your liver.

And don't ask me what it was.

I ain't no doctor.

But it was f*cked up.

Only one problem:

it weren't f*cked up enough.

Now, your mama and daddy,

they couldn't get you

on the transplant list

because the danger weren't imminent.

But if your liver quit on you,

you kicked it before you were 25,

your granddaddy's money

would stay locked up forever.

[SPITOON CLANGS]

So they hired me.

I trained you

for the junior rodeo circuit,

not because you had a talent

for riding steer

You didn't

But for another reason entirely:

to get you on the damn liver list.

I reckon you recall the All Hallows' Eve

Junior Rodeo Extravaganza,

but what you don't recall is

how doped up that animal

you were sitting on was,

nor me reaching down and

grabbing that bull's nut sack.

Now, I could barely get

his balls in my hands,

but I knew I had to get both of them.

And I did, son.

And I squeezed that bull's gem sack

one second before the two of

you sh*t out of that chute.

You were in the hospital

waiting for a liver transplant

within the hour

An adult liver you share

with that little girlfriend of yours.

Would you have made it to 25

if your family hadn't found

a way to cut the line?

No way to say.

But before you take

all your granddaddy's money

I want you to know the game was rigged.

All them ribbons and medals you won,

they weren't earned.

And I've borne this truth

all these years,

the one that you told me

to tell it to you straight.

So straight's how I'm gonna

tell it, Preston John Wiley.

Ain't nothing worse than a cowboy

who ain't worthy of his boots.



[SPITOON CLANGS]



Thank you for that, sir.

But Mr. Wiley was just telling us

he was giving the entire fortune away.

Really?

Well, my bad. [CHUCKLES]

Happy birthday, son.

[LAUGHS]

[PEACEFUL WESTERN MUSIC]

[PURPOSEFUL WESTERN MUSIC]



[BUZZER SOUNDS]



[HORN BLASTS]

[RIDER YELLS]

[HORSE NEIGHS]

[LOUD CRUNCH, BULL BELLOWS]

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

- [GROANING] Medic!

- Stop!

You better not put weight on that.

- [SCREAMING] Oh, God!

- We got a bleeder!

Medic! Medic! [GROANING]



[GULPS]



[BULL BELLOWS]



You on the roster?

Yeah.

Should be right there on top.

So it is.

[CROWD CHEERING]

You're next up.

Pin this on tight.

Help us keep track of you,

in case he eats your face.

What?

[LAUGHS] Yee-haw!

Wiley!

Excuse me.

Lizzie. Hey, hey.

Uh, hey?

You leave me some weird message

about manhood

and tell me not to worry,

but there's something you need to do?

- Yeah.

- [SCREAMING, CRASHING]

- [BULL BELLOWS]

- Uh, wait.

Babe, please tell me this is not

what you think you need to do.

Lizzie, I'm next.

Up next for what?

[CROWD CHANTING INDISTINCTLY]

Jesus, Wi Wiley! What are you doing?

You haven't done this

since you were a kid.

No, no, no. Sweetheart.

Sweetheart, listen to me.

I have never done this, okay?

It was all fake.

Well, I have no idea

what you're talking about,

but either way, it sounds

like we're dealing

with real experience deficit.

I know. I have to ride that bull.

Well, then why

Why did you even call me

if you don't want me to stop you?

Because I didn't want to be alone.

Okay?

[SOFT TENSE MUSIC]

Preston Wiley, come on down.



For courage.

This is not f*cking courage.



See you in a couple minutes.

Wiley!



[HORN BLASTS]



[BULL BELLOWS]



[BULL BELLOWS]



[BULL BELLOWS, GATE CLANKS]



[BULL BELLOWING]



[CROWD CHANTING]



ALL: Five, four,

three, two, one!

[HORN BLASTS]

[TENSE MUSIC]



Stop staring at him.

I'm not staring at him.

I'm surveilling him.

I don't know why I'm surveilling him.

All he does is read.

We're surveilling him

'cause he's going to lead us

straight to Clara,

who was last in possession

of the Holy Grail.

And that's the only thing we know?

We know that she has flaming red hair.

She what?

You told me the Algorithm only gave you

a phone number and a name.

[QUIRKY SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Right.

The Algorithm also told me

that she has flaming red hair.

Are you lying to me, Lizzie?

Simone. And no.

Because lying seems

like it'd break the rules.

It's not a good look

with your little outfit.

It's not a little outfit. It's a habit.

[PHONE RINGING]

I need to take this.

I have to pray.



Hey. Tell me you figured out

where the Apron Man is headed.

You know I did.

Scone, Scotland.

This off-the-grid, end-of-the-line spot

no one would give a right fart about

if it weren't for [CHUCKLES]

Excalibattle!

Excali battle?

Thousands of years ago,

this giant sword appeared

sticking out of the ground.

No one knows how or why.

It's like Stonehenge.

Except stupider.

Oh, yeah. Way stupider.

Four times a century,

they have this festival, right?

They dress up like King Arthur cosplay.

Anyway, that's where

your Apron Man is headed.

Because it's Holy Grail sh*t.

Because it's Holy Grail sh*t,

that's right.

g*dd*mn Algorithm, man. So predictable.

Cliché all day, man. Cliché all day.

- [INDISTINCT YELLING]

- Yo, what's all that noise?

I can barely hear you over there.

Oh, that? Dude! It's training day, son!

Yeah!

[BODY THUDS] Guy just did a flip.

Oi!

Are you briefing him

or trying to f*ck him, mate?

Give me that.

Hello.

How goes the quest, cowboy?

Fantastic.

Giddy up.

What about the nun?

She have any idea

you ran the fake German gambit?

[CHUCKLES]



No, she does not.

Well, keep her close.

And remember what I told you.

Eyes on the prize.

And what's the prize?

Freedom.

Say it like f*cking Braveheart!

I I

[LOUDLY, THEN SOFTLY] Freedom!

You're g*dd*mn f*cking right!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Freedom!

Yeah!

[CONTEMPLATIVE MUSIC]



[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Hello, Simone!

Mrs. Davis, I presume?

[ELECTRONIC CHITTERING]

Actually, here in the UK,

I'm referred to as Mum.

Oh.

I'm not calling you Mum.

- Come on in.

- So!

How's your top-secret mission

to find the Holy Grail going?

The phone number you gave us

led us to the man

in the next, uh, carriage.

It's not really top secret

if we keep chatting about it, though.

Tally-ho. Right you are, Simone.

Well, I just wanted

to give you this gift,

and I'll be on my way.

This is for your traveling

companion, Mr. Wiley.

Okay.

It's wonderful that you've reconnected

with a former lover

to help you with your quest.

God, don't call him that.

You were in love, and you no longer are.

I'm sorry. Do I have that wrong?

No, you have it exactly right.

Wonderful.

Well, enjoy the gift.

If I'd known Celeste

was traveling with you,

I would have gotten her one, as well.

- [SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- So

Sorry, did you just say

my mother is on this train?

[EARPOD SCREECHES]

Redirect.

What?

Sandy Springs?

[EARPOD SCREECHING] Redirect.

What's happening?

Deep in my heart, I am warrior.

Sorry, wha

- 1042.

- [EARPOD SCREECHING]

What?

Celeste.

She's in the dining car

at this very moment.

Were you not aware?

I was not.



Hey.

My f*cking mother is on this train.

Whoa, you curse? So what are the rules?

Did you say your mom?



Father.

Sister.

[HAUNTING MUSIC]



Mother.

Hello, Elizabeth.

Oh, sh*t.

I see you're still running

around with rodeo clowns.

Yeah, hi.

It's awesome to see you, too, Celeste.

What are you doing here?

Following you, of course.

Why why are you following me?

Why did you decide,

after nearly a decade

of unremarkable convent life,

to suddenly pack your bags

and travel to the United Kingdom?

- The question, Mother

- [CLEARS THROAT]

He's trying to get by or something.

Why don't we just sit down?

Sit down, sit down.

Excuse me, excuse me.

[DISHES CLATTERING]

The question is, Mother,

how you even knew I was here.

I run the most successful security firm

in the Western United States.

Of course I'm going to keep tabs

on my daughter's whereabouts,

especially when she's booking

international travel to a hot zone.

Yeah. So you're still doing this.

What is a hot zone?

Hot zones are areas where my quarry

is most likely to hide.

For the millionth time,

he is dead, Mother.

- Dead and gone.

- No.

He is not dead.

Your father is very much alive.

He is alive, and laughing

at everyone he duped.

But he did not dupe me.

And to pull off what he did,

to maintain a lifestyle in exile,

he would require an accomplice

of extraordinary skill,

and someone above reproach.

Like a nun.

You think I became a nun

so I could help Dad fake his death?

Why else would you become a nun?

For what it's worth, I don't blame you

for however he convinced you

to help him hide.

You always saw the best in people,

even when they gave you every reason

to see how unworthy

of that trust they were.

It became somewhat of a pattern.

I am not hiding him.

Everyone's hiding something, Elizabeth.

Like a loaded crossbow

in a secret workshop?

[TENSE MUSIC]

I warned you not to go in there.

And I'm warning you

to stay away from us.

Dad's gone.

He d*ed right in front of me.

It was horrible.

Do what I did, Mother. Move on.



As you wish.

Wishes are for little girls.

BOTH: Don't.

[INTERCOM CHIMES]

Now arriving at Courrour Station.

Now that you know that I am here,

there is no way that you

are leading me to him,

so I'll be going.

But you should know

I don't move on, Elizabeth.

I move towards.



You want to talk about it?

Yeah.

Just not with you.



No, take your time.

We still have, like,

three hours before we get to

[GONG RINGS]

[SOFT FLUTE MUSIC PLAYING]



Well, we're here.



Meat pies! Meat pies!



Nappies! Nappies! Get your nappies here!

No toilet breaks!

Extra-absorbent nappies for big boys!

Is that man selling diapers?

Pure, concentrated coffee balls.

Don't fall asleep, get them here cheap.

All right, whatever.

Coffee balls.

[HORN BLASTS]

All would-be kings,

the contest shall commence

in two minutes!

- [INDISTINCT YELLING]

- What the f*ck?

Contest?

[INDISTINCT YELLING]

That's him.

That's Apron Man.

And that must be Clara.

See the red hair?

Oh, sh*t.

- Do we just go up to her, or

- [HORN BLASTS]

At the sound of the ram's horn,

any contender without a helmet

will be eliminated.

What's up? What are you doing?

I'm gonna get a helmet,

or I'll get eliminated.

- Eliminated from what?

- Whatever he's doing.

Look, the Apron Man

is joining the contest.

So I'm gonna join the contest,

find out what he knows.

We needed him to lead us to Clara.

- That's Clara.

- Yes, exactly.

You follow Clara, I follow him.

All right? I got this.

You got what?

Wiley!

[ENERGETIC MUSIC]



[CROWD CHANTING]

Those not connected to the sacred blade

are hereby eliminated.

Leave the field of battle now!

Unworthy!

ALL: Unworthy!

Unworthy!

Friends.

Roughly four times a century,

the Sun, Moon, and Venus

align in a celestial syzygy.

One such syzygy occurred the very day

a young man named Arthur

pulled the sword of destiny

from a stone,

proving himself the one true king.

For any man who has failed,

fallen short,

or disappointed, now is your chance

for glorious redemption.

Here, in this sacred place,

you can at last learn the truth.

Are you worthy?

For the one amongst you strong enough,

brave enough, worthy enough

to hold your hand upon the blade

longer than the rest,

oh, the glory and honor you will carry

for the rest of your days!

A handsome cash prize, not to mention

[SUSPENSEFUL ORCHESTRAL MUSIC]

Free neeps and tatties for life

at McNaughton's Savoury Restaurants.

The rules are simple.

Keep one hand upon the blade

at all times.

If you let go, you are unworthy.

But should you be the last one

with your hand upon that sacred steel,

there can be no doubt

that you are the

ALL: One true king!

One true king!

One true king!

One true king!

The contest has begun!

The crier will now make

the official count.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[HORN BLASTS]



[BELL RINGS]

Two hours on the sword,

and still 46 brave souls left.



Call for you, sir.



From the lady on the perimeter.

The nun, sir.



Wiley? Test, test.

Oh my God. I can't believe this works.

Any progress with Apron Man?

Uh

negative.

I am playing it cool.

What about Red?

Found the hotel where she's staying in.

So she checked in

under the name Celeste.

Weird. That's your mom's name.

I mean, Mathilde. Mathilde.

She checked in under the name Mathilde.

I followed her that was not

a Freudian slip, by the way.

- I'm not even thinking about my mom.

- Obviously.

I followed Mathilde, which is an alias,

because she's clearly Clara, to a bank.

And it looks like she's a banker,

which is, like,

the opposite of my mother.

Do you wanna talk about your mom?

No, and why are

you not talking to Apron Guy?

Because I'm biding my time.

You know, it's starting to feel like

you don't care about him at all

and you're just here

for the dumb sword game.

All right. You want me to talk to him?



Fine.

[CAN CLATTERS]

Hey!

Oh, excuse me.

Hey, my man. In the apron.

Sorry. Excuse me.

I'm gonna squeeze by. Don't mind me.

I'm just going to sorry, man.

I'm talking to my friend here.

What's up?

Saw you talking

to a redhead earlier, you dog.

Is that your wife?

f*ck off!



Sorry. [GRUNTS SOFTLY]



If you're looking to get him to talk,

half a day on the sword,

and any man will be singing

like a songbird.

Trust me. You'll see.

Yeah, that doesn't seem very nun-like.

Dummy, focus.

I was going through Clara's

[CLEARS THROAT]

Mathilde's suitcase,

and I saw she packed a wetsuit

and like, those water socks

with the individual toes.

Anyway, I need you

to get whatever intel you can

from Apron Man,

because I think Mathilde is planning

on bringing the Grail

to a body of water,

which isn't exactly specific

considering, you know,

we are surrounded by ocean and lakes.

Lochs. They're called lochs.

But not the kind you pick.

You okay?

I'm not goofy.

[CROW CAWING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]



Do you know what it's like

to love a woman so deeply

and yet remain

completely invisible to her?



I do know what that's like.

I've been put out to pasture,

removed from my position.

But if I can just keep my hand

on this bloody blade long enough,

she'll see what a mistake she's made

and take me back.



And she,

this woman who sacked you,

she's out at the lake right now?

- The loch.

- Right.

And what loch is it, again?

Even though I already know.

It's the Loch Drumellie, of course.

It's the one with big trees

that do this.

[CLOCK TICKING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Loch of Drumellie.

There's been a lot of activity

around the bank in town.

These women in pantsuits,

coming and going.

I think they're preparing

for some kind of transfer,

since tonight is the syzygy.

Mm. Transfer. I get it.

Because they're bankers.

What? No.

A transfer of the Grail,

which is happening

at the Loch of Drumellie.

So come on, let's go. I got us bikes.

I'm staying.

What?

I can win this thing.

I knew it.

This this was never about

you helping me with Apron Man.

He's out, and you're still here.

For what? For what?

Free neeps and tatties?

No, I'm still here, Lizzie,

because I am the one true king,

and that horned f*ck over there

is the only thing standing

between me and my destiny.

You know what? You do your destiny, pal.

I am going after the Grail.

[EERIE MUSIC]



Holy sh*t.



[GASPS]

I didn't think you'd be

stupid enough to show up.

In this ridiculous costume, no less.

Okay, it's not a costume. It's, um

My Frilly told me you called.

You better not be making trouble, Clara.

Okay, whoa. We are

We are really in the weeds here.

Okay, let's just start with

[HEAD THUDS]

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

Oh, sh*t.



Oh, thank God.

Oi, Mathilde!

[BANKERS CALLING]

- Mathilde?

- Come on ahead.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[SNARLING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You cannot win.

You're beaten.

Just let go.

Never!

Why are you doing this?

[SCREAMS]

There is a storm on the horizon.

Take cover.

Rain's a-coming. Get your umbrellas.

Wiley! Hey, I need a can.

I wouldn't distract

the contestants, milady.

- Not with only two left.

- Who's left?

The one they call Horns,

and your man with the Wings.

My man with the what?

Wings, milady.

Wings. [CHUCKLES]

Oh, he is a man of great honor.

This is why I chose him as my liege.

And also why I gave you

all those free calls.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]



m*therf*cker.

Milady!



[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Attention, spectator!

You are not authorized

to enter the contest area!

- Hey!

- [SCREAMS]

Lizzie, I don't think

you can come up here.

Lizzie, I don't think

You have Wings?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Why?

- Wait!

- Why?

Will you just take it easy?

Why do you have Wings?

It's complicated.

- Are you working for Her?

- Oh, God. Lizzie, please.

You said you hated Her,

but you have Wings!

I do hate Her!

You liar.

You do whatever She tells you to do!

That that's the only way to get them!

That's not the only way.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[GRUNTS]

What is that?



It's an expiration date.

When you get one, She

The Algorithm,

It gives you a*t*matic Wings.

It's a shortcut. No quests.

All you have to do is turn yourself in

when your time comes.

Turn yourself in when your time's up?

What, you do you mean die?



Wiley, why would you do

something like that?

Because

I wanted people to look at me

and see that I mattered.

That I was worthy of my boots.

[LAUGHS]

That's why you won't let go. [LAUGHS]

Get f*cked!

What the f*ck are you

even doing here, man?

You horny f*ck!

Good luck trying to get me off,

m*therf*cker!

Because this time,

I'm riding you, Jezebull!

Oh, sh*t.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

This is about the rodeo.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

For courage.



See you in a couple of minutes.

Wiley



CROWD: Three, two, one

[HORN BLARES]

[BULL BELLOWS]



[BULL BELLOWS]



ALL: Coward!

Coward!

Coward!

I'll never forget how you looked at me

after I got off that bull.

It was like the light in your eyes,

the light for me, just went out.

[THUNDER CRASHING]

Just tell me the truth.

That was when you stopped

loving me, wasn't it?

That day, in that instant.

Because you saw me for what I really am.

A coward.

Okay, okay, okay.

[IRMA THOMAS' "ANYONE

WHO KNOWS WHAT LOVE IS"]

No more secrets.

See you in a couple minutes.

Wiley

[DELICATE MUSIC]

I was helpless.

In an instant, you were

getting on that monster,

and I knew I couldn't stop you.

I knew there wasn't going

to be Alaska anymore.

There wasn't going to be you anymore,

because you were gonna die.

So I did what I'd only

ever seen other people do

Please save him, please save him,

please save him.

I put my hands together, and I prayed.

- [WIND HOWLING]

- What?

I was willing to do anything.

"Please save him," I said.

Please save him, please save him,

please save him.

They can't see you ♪

And then I wasn't at the rodeo anymore.

I was somewhere else.



A restaurant.

I didn't understand, but somehow,

I I knew I wasn't dreaming.

I knew that it was really happening.



Then I saw him.

Anyone, anyone ♪

And it didn't matter that

up until that very second,

I didn't believe in him.

I just knew who he was.

Anyone ♪

For the ones ♪

Who pity me ♪

And he fed me.



Anyone ♪

'Cause they just don't know ♪

Anyone ♪

Oh, they don't know what

happiness and love can be ♪

It was love at first sight.

Undeniable.

Absolute.

Forever.

I know to ever let you go ♪

Oh, is more ♪

Than I ♪

You're right.

Everything did change that day.

In an instant.



Who knows what love is ♪

Wiley, you didn't get off that bull

- because you were a coward.

- [THUNDER CRACKS]

You did it because I asked

him to save you, and he did!

[RAIN PATTERING]

You went to a restaurant?

Yes.

You ate there?

Falafel.

And this isn't like, a metaphor.

This is this is actual.

This is like, a real place.

It is as real as it gets, man.

And uh, this guy

He is who I think he is?

Yes.

And look, I wanted to tell you,

to help you move on.

But I

I didn't think you'd believe me.

You didn't think I would believe

that on the worst day of my life,

you teleported to a restaurant

and met fell in love with

- The Messiah

- I

And he [STAMMERS] he fed you falafel.

It was really good.

I mean, I always wondered

if there was someone else, Lizzie.

But I really didn't anticipate

I lost out to the King of f*cking Kings.

[CHUCKLES] To Jesus?

To Jesus g*dd*mn Christ?

That's not don't say it like that.

Don't blaspheme your husband?

I can't call your husband the

guy that stole my girlfriend

I can't call him Jesus

m*therf*cking g*dd*mn Christ?

f*ck you, Jesus f*cking

g*dd*mn m*therf*cking Christ!

- [THUNDER CRASHING]

- [ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Am I dead?

No such luck, idiot.

Did I win?

They gave you a pin.

So yeah.

Congrats. You are worthy.

Yay.

Got to take him now, sister.

Can I ride with him?

I'm afraid only patients

allowed in the back.

Wiley, I saw the Grail.

The women, those bankers. They have it.

We're so close.

With all due respect, Lizzie,

I don't give a sh*t

about the Holy Grail.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You sure about that?



I've never been more sure

of anything in my entire life.

[SIREN WAILING]



[SIREN WAILING]



You know where we can find the lad

that was struck by lightning?

Uh, the other ambulance just took him.

What other ambulance?

[TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC]



[TIRES SCREECH]

[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]



[DOOR OPENS]



All right, my son.

Now that we've finally got

some time to ourselves

[AMERICAN ACCENT] I'm looking forward

to discussing where you got those shoes.

What the oh, sh*t.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
