We know you have it.
I don't know anything about any Rose.
All right, enough already.
Jesus Christ.
Where did you learn your interrogating skills, the CIA?
He was just about to break.
Sure he was.
I thought you didn't get your hands dirty.
I don't.
I'm here because you're not honoring our agreement.
I was promised results,
and I was promised the Desert Rose.
Oh, well,
we have both made a lot of promises.
I kept mine.
So you have.
And now I'll keep mine.
Your thug has been pounding on this guy
for a damn near four hours.
You really should've let my people take care of it.
If I had let your people handle it,
he would be dead already.
And we'd still have nothing.
Men are so strong.
They're like rocks.
The strongest ones though,
they don't break by force.
I learned that
freshman year in college.
No.
They're broken by love.
At least the hope of it anyway.
Sophomore year.
Hope.
Goddamn, I love hope.
Couldn't have done half the shit I've done
without the foolishness of hope, man's greatest weakness.
Isn't it?
Oh.
That and children.
Who was she, Stanley?
What?
Who was it that made you give up on love?
On a family?
Who made you dive into your work?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Don't lie to me, Stanley.
You don't want to lie anymore.
I...
uh, I...
I don't have anything to tell you.
Oh you're gonna tell me everything I want to know.
Because you're a good boy.
Yeah.
Good boys do as they're told.
Mojo one in position.
Copy that.
Go on my mark.
This is a mistake.
Mark.
Target one, down.
Target two, down.
Target three, down.
Come on Stanley, give it to me.
Come on, give me what I want.
I want it too.
Uh-huh.
So why don't you tell me, Stanley?
Huh?
Mm-hm, come on Stanley.
We don't know where it is.
Oh Stanley, why do we think that you do?
Because we wanted you to,
so we could find you.
Oh Stanley, no one even knows I'm alive.
We do.
Lilith,
mother of demons.
Who knows, Stanley?
Who are you working with?
Tell me, Stanley.
Stay with me, come on!
Who are you working with?
Fuck, Stanley, tell me, who are you working with?
Who knows?
Tell me, Stanley, I'll let you have it all.
Come on Stanley, tell me.
Yeah Stanley, that's it.
Tell me, who are you working with?
The Project!
Fuck!
Breech.
You morons!
You led them straight to me!
You can't let them see me.
You've gotta get me out of here.
Okay, I'll let myself out.
Multiple targets acquired.
Targets down.
Told you my teams would get her.
That has yet to be seen.
It's only a matter of time.
This is a bloodbath.
We'll come out on top.
But at what cost?
Hey, do you want her or not?
We have eyes on Night Owl.
I warned you.
It's not over.
Now it's over.
Mojo one.
Mojo actual.
Held copy over.
Mojo three.
Mojo actual.
Held copy over.
Mojo five.
Mojo, Johnson!
I'm grateful to your assistance up until this point,
but I'm dissolving our partnership.
It didn't have to be this way.
Your way didn't work.
Now it's my turn.
Go ahead.
You cannot fight what you are.
Our backup team has arrived on location.
No survivors, five familiars, three crusties,
all three mojo teams, and Stanley.
Location is secure, no sign of Lilith.
Hey hot stuff, wait up.
I see the sexual harassment videos you're assigned
went unwatched again.
You've seen one, you've seen them all.
Call me a pacifist,
but I would've preferred someone left alive
to torture for information.
So what's the plan?
Obviously Lilith knows we're coming now,
so, um, element of surprise is gone.
I wouldn't say that.
Are you kidding me?
She'll see Hank's teams coming from a mile away.
Hank's teams are a brutish wall of violence.
They only leave dust and debris in its wake.
If we are to battle Lilith and her minions...
Minions, did you say minions?
Do people still have those?
We need to be more surgical,
more precise, more intelligent.
All right, well I guess we can take some of Hank's guys,
concentrate on more surgical strikes,
more precise targeting.
As far as intelligence,
I guess we can give them some books to read or something.
- No. - All right,
YouTube videos then.
I want to start the beta project.
Hank is not gonna be happy with that.
I'll handle Henry.
I want four very skilled women.
Who doesn't?
? Let's get a little bit drunk ?
? You won't want to miss this ?
? Yeah you can call me mischief mischief ?
? Let's get a little bit drunk ?
? Let's have a little bit of fun ?
? You can call me ?
? You can call me mischief mischief ?
? I've got a taste for it ?
? I've got a ?
Uh, just a little, please.
That's good, thank you.
Gracias.
Check?
Uh yeah, sorry, uh, yeah, thank you.
What?
We got a six-hour leg ahead of us.
We don't need to be stopping every five minutes.
Oh, I'll hold it.
Yeah.
We're way ahead of schedule.
We can make some potty breaks if we need to.
Potty breaks, what are you, five?
Dammit.
Did anyone call Pete to let him know
we'll be arriving early?
I did.
Oh.
What the hell, Worm?
You don't flash that kind of cash in front of people.
What?
How can someone so smart be so stupid?
Hey, watch it.
She's just invited every thug in this place
to jump us when we get outside.
Hey, she didn't know better, okay.
It was a mistake.
We told her.
Now she won't do it again.
Right, Wrom?
Right, I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking.
That's the problem.
You don't think.
Zoey, knock it off
or I'll clean every single toilet in here
with that big ass forehead of yours.
Enough.
Both of you.
Worm, you have to be more careful.
All right, I'm sorry.
AJ, you touch Zoey without my permission
and I'll make sure you're in the back of that truck
for the next six months on every job.
Zoey, you pick on Worm one more time
and I'm gonna ask AJ to clean the bathrooms.
Understood?
Let's go.
? One last ride ?
? Can't wait to take the train ?
? One last ride ?
? Can't wait to take the train ?
Another six hours and we'll be at the border.
We'll stop just before we get there
to prep for the crossing.
All right, sounds good.
Zoey, keep it under 80...
Hey excuse me.
Shit.
Dammit, Worm.
I'm not trying to cause no trouble.
I just like need some cash
for like a bus far or something like...
Sorry.
Nada.
All right, I'm not fucking around, give me that cash.
Yeah, I saw little white bitch got it.
What?
Who the fuck you call white?
I wasn't talking to you, mamacita.
Come get it.
Hey.
Who's the bitch now?
Mamacita.
Hm, papi?
Night night.
What the hell, AJ?
What the fuck are you doing?
We need to get outta here.
Worm, handle this.
AJ, are you okay?
AJ, we gotta get outta here, all right?
Yeah, all right.
All right?
All right.
Come on.
? Can't take to wait the train ?
? One last ride ?
? Take the train yeah ?
? One last ride ?
? Can't wait to take the train ?
? One last ride ?
? I'll take the train take the train take the train ?
? One last ride ?
- Hey, Mehnkah. - Hey Mike.
Hey wait, hey hey hey hey hey hey.
You're like, uh, in HR or something, right?
Uh, accounting.
Accounting, hell.
It doesn't get any smarter than accounting, right?
- Okay. - Congratulations.
You're on the new team.
Wait, what?
- Okay. - Oh wait, hold on!
Yes?
Thanks!
What a fucking weirdo.
Safe!
You're late.
Yeah sorry, I had to whip up
this little PowerPoint presentation for y'all.
I know, uh, you wanted the, uh, best four girls on my list.
Here they are.
Smuggler by the name of Amanda Jarvis Cortez,
AJ to her friends,
survived on the streets as a pickpocket
running short cons.
Put together her own crew.
Now she's one of, if not the best, smugglers
in North and Central America.
Not exactly gonna run the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs,
but pretty damn close.
Second.
Next runs with AJ, goes by the name of Worm, as in book.
She's hyper-intelligent,
a little socially awkward, but dangerous on a keyboard.
So she's your nerd.
You played football in high school, didn't you?
Tight end.
Next.
Next is our very own Mehnkah.
Mehnkah from accounting?
HR.
- Accounting. - Accounting, yes.
And number four?
I've got that narrowed down to two different choices.
First one is a girl named Joy Malone.
Whoa whoa, wait, our Joy?
Our Joy?
Yes.
She helped Mike and I run an op last year
on some underground meth labs.
She's dangerous and a hothead
and she nearly got herself killed.
But she gets the job done
and she's got some pretty interesting skills.
What kind of skills?
She's a redhead from the O'Malley line.
Oh, I see.
Okay, well there is that,
but she's also strong, has a hell of a left hook,
which Hank can testify to,
and she knows her way around
every government-issued firearm.
Plus she can run a long con like nobody's business.
And your final option?
She's gonna be a little difficult to find.
Give me what you have on her.
I'll track her down.
You're not gonna find her, Hank.
What's her name?
She goes by the name of the Ballerina.
You're not gonna have anything on her, Hank.
If she exists, we'll find her.
The Ballerina?
A thief, supposed to be responsible
for at least a dozen of the most high-profile jobs
in the last three years.
See there, she doesn't exist.
Oh, she exists.
So these are your choices,
a smuggler, a nerd, an accountant, a banshee,
and a figment of your imagination?
Not everything you can know about somebody
can be put in a file, Hank.
I mean, what does your file say about me?
Says you were born in Dallas, Texas,
went to Wallace Elementary,
mascot was the wallaby.
Adorable, by the way.
Thank you.
Graduated Kingwood High School.
Go Mustangs.
Also graduated Texas A&M
with a bachelor's, master's, and doctorate
in communication and psychology.
Are my eyes really green?
You've taken defensive driving seven times?
That was just for the 10% discount on my car insurance.
Have you ever taken the Project's
offensive driving program?
Offensive driving, is that like driving around
with your ass hanging out the window?
No, it's killing people with your car.
I can already do that.
Yeah, but can you do it with style?
Mm.
I knew everything I needed to know about you
before I met you.
And this tells me that these girls
are a disaster waiting to happen.
This is my team, Henry.
They'll be my responsibility.
Fine, Rose.
Have it your way.
You sure about this?
Of course I'm sure.
I wouldn't be doing it if I thought it was a mistake.
That's right, I forgot, you don't make mistakes.
Correct.
I thought I did once, but I was wrong.
Wait, wait, was that a joke?
Did you just tell a joke?
If you tell anyone, I'll be forced to kill you
in the most humiliating way.
Oh.
Fuck.
I gotta piss.
Try not to flirt with them so much.
I'd like to get this over with without any problems.
I flirt with them so that we don't have any problems.
What if they don't flirt back?
Then we'll know we got a problem.
Two days ahead of schedule.
We are impressed.
Two days ahead of schedule, 20% bonus?
You girls are worth the 20% just to look at.
Girls?
Would girls be able to smuggle
a whole truckload of your shit
from Peru to the U.S. in five days
with no complications?
See, this is why we click.
I don't like complications.
You don't like complications.
Perhaps you and I, we could spend some time together
after this, no complications.
Right.
Perito, you give me my quarter million
and we can avoid all sorts of complications.
Okay?
You know exactly what to say to a client, don't you?
It's okay, it's okay.
I like you.
Are you sure you ladies don't want to join us for drinks?
Peter, we would love to stay and celebrate with y'all,
but we got places to see and people to do.
You know how it is, right?
Right.
? I've got a hankering for something sweet ?
? I'm kind of restless and I can't ignore the beat ?
? I've got a skip in my step ?
? I've gotta tap my feet ?
? I've got a craving you're exactly what I need ?
? I've never been too good at keeping quiet ?
? Give me occasion I can promise alibi ?
What the fuck is this?
Oh.
You weren't supposed to see that.
We better not have drived five days
smuggling fucking chilesito, Pete.
Tell me this is heroin.
Oh, it isn't heroin.
It's bait.
? Let's get a little bit drunk ?
? You won't want to miss this ?
? Yeah you can call me mischief mischief ?
? I got a taste for it ?
? Give me a punishment that ?
? You're at the limit now let's cross the line ?
? I've got a feeling that you'd like a chase ?
? Takes one to know one ?
? Till the moon comes up ?
? Let's get a little bit drunk ?
? You won't want to miss this ?
? Yeah you can call me mischief mischief ?
You should find men with thicker skins.
You were warned, Peter.
? We can run around till the moon comes up ?
? Let's get a little bit drunk ?
? You won't want to miss this ?
? Yeah you can call me mischief mischief ?
This girl is under protection
of the Project.
You leave now or suffer the consequences.
? I can break your heart ?
So be it.
? We can play a game if I can break the rules ?
? I can break your heart if you play me for a fool ?
? Let's get a little bit drunk ?
? Let's have a little bit of fun ?
? We can run around ?
? Till the moon becomes the sun ?
? Let's get a little bit drunk ?
? You won't want to miss this ?
You can't win, Rose!
Peter, I already have.
? I got a taste for it ?
? I got a taste ?
No way.
? I got a taste for it ?
? I got a ?
Yes way.
Now you wouldn't want to lose your head
over little old me, would you?
What the hell do you want?
Just to talk.
Now we could stand here and shoot each other in the face
or we could have a nice polite conversation.
Hear us out and you get to keep the cash.
Mm-hm, we?
Your friend there isn't talking to anybody.
I told you she wouldn't go quietly.
So how about that talk?
Oh, thank you.
Unlike my friend, my face doesn't react so well to bullets.
All right, so who are you
and what the hell do you want?
I'm Mike Lorenzo,
and this charming soul is Rose.
We belong to an organization known as the Project.
As for what we want, well...
We simply want to ask you a question.
Oh yeah?
And what kind of question is that?
Miss Cortez, do you believe in destiny?
What the fuck?
? Oh here we go ?
? She got the blue sundress and cowboy boots ?
? Bent over the table shooting pool ?
? That's what I'm talking about ?
? I got my quarters lined up and I'm on deck ?
? Grab a pitcher while she racks the set ?
? That's what I'm talking about ?
? Yeah I'm just looking for some fun ?
? I got my blue jeans with the Skol ring ?
? Tipping my hat to the country queens ?
? Cowboy rebel out on the scene ?
? And things are getting loud ?
? Bands play my favorite songs ?
? And all the guys and girls love to sing along ?
? Everybody let me hear you say ?
? That's what I'm talking about ?
? She hit the eight ball in and grabbed my hand ?
? Said forget this cutie come on let's dance ?
? That's what I'm talking about ?
Hey!
Where's she at?
? We're lit up by the neon Bud sign ?
? Double fisting shots while we bump and grind ?
? That's what I'm talking about ?
? Yeah and we're shutting this place down ?
? I got my blue jeans with the Skol ring ?
? Tipping my hat to the country queen ?
? Cowboy rebel out on the scene ?
? And things are getting loud ?
? Bands play my favorite songs ?
? All the guys and girls start to sing along ?
? Everybody let me hear you say ?
? That's what I'm talking about ?
? The beer is cold ?
? The night is young ?
? And we ain't stopping till the sun comes up ?
? I got my blue jeans with the Skol ring ?
? Tipping my hat to the country queens ?
? Cowboy rebel out on the scene ?
? And things are getting loud ?
She can run, can't she?
Should remember the first rule of pursuit.
You can run but you can't hide.
Yeah.
What do they say about cheddar neesta?
What?
? That's what I'm talking about ?
I swear I will end you.
Save it.
She's here.
Guys, let's go.
Well?
You were right.
The Project knew we were coming.
Took the other one though.
It was unavoidable.
What do we do with this one?
Nothing.
Nothing?
You do nothing.
You keep her here, you watch her.
You let nothing happen to her.
You know, it's only a matter of time
before the Project realizes what your plan is.
Oh I highly doubt that.
Give me one good reason
I shouldn't
turn you.
Having somebody of your influence could be very beneficial
to me and my business.
Besides,
I have access to that husband of yours.
How about that?
And I have a lot of power.
Oh, no.
What's wrong?
Your little healing trick not working?
The Desert Rose is not the only thing
that can cause wounds that can't heal.
Remember that the next time you decide
to whip out your dick.
And she is not to be harmed.
She's only to be held.
And under no circumstance is she to be turned.
Am I understood?
I thought so.
What did I just see?
The truth.
I'm gonna need a little more than that.
Of course, but we need to know
that we're not wasting our time.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know you had other places to be.
Are you the type of person
that will hide your eyes from reality
because it contradicts what you believe
or are you the type of person
that will accept the truth before them?
Are you willing to sacrifice everything you were,
everything you are,
everything you can be, all for the truth?
Because if you're not, Miss Cortez,
you take your briefcase and go change your life.
Justify what you saw tonight as adrenaline,
shadows, smoke, mirrors,
reflections of reality that alter the perception of it.
Take your money and go be happy.
Or?
Or you stay and you discover the truth.
All right.
I'm listening.
The men you encountered tonight, they're not human.
They are the children of an old and very powerful family
of ancient creatures.
We know them only as the Old Ones.
They existed before the gods of Greece, before mankind,
before the Christian God
pulled the world out of darkness and chaos.
Demons, just say demons.
She'll understand demons.
I mean, you are Catholic, right?
What, you're just assuming I'm Catholic?
Why?
Because I'm Latina?
You're not Catholic?
So these things, they're demons, right?
It's good a name as any other to use.
These creatures, they take many forms,
sometimes fire, sometimes smoke,
sometimes the very air that we breathe.
They can even take human form.
They are powerful.
And they are sworn to return this world
into the chaos from which they were spawned.
What do you want from me though?
We want you to fight.
Mm, fight, got it.
Fight these demons, right, me?
Look, there are those in this world that have no purpose,
no destiny, no fate.
They make up the majority of this world.
They have the ability to choose
where their life will take them
and they always choose to take it nowhere.
Then there are those of us who are destined for greatness,
and we will always begin by asking ourselves
if we have a choice to pursue or not pursue our destiny.
Is there free will?
Of course there is,
but not for people like us.
I make my own choices
and I follow my own path.
Yes, you've many opportunities to reach this night before.
Forks.
It doesn't matter what choices you made in the past.
Someday, sometime, eventually,
you would have sat down with us,
if not us, those like us,
those with the same purpose.
Let's say you'd made different decisions
early on in your life.
We would've already had this conversation.
Perhaps Mike would be sitting where you are.
You would be sitting here in this pew.
Paths, yes, there are many,
but in the end they all lead here,
to the same place.
That is destiny.
Miss Cortez, I'll ask you again.
Do you believe in destiny?
Are those necessary?
She shattered Cliff's kneecap and broke my nose.
I wasn't talking to you.
Are those necessary?
Oh I get it.
You must be the good cop.
Take those off.
Oh, sorry.
I thought you were still talking to me.
Is there anything else?
Men are idiots.
I really need an all-female staff.
They have their uses.
That they do.
So let me get this straight.
This is where you, uh,
spread a bunch of photos on the table, right,
from a file where you tell me everything you know about me,
and, uh, you show me all the people
that I've wronged or killed or fill in the blank,
and then you try to get a confession out of me
all night long,
but then you try to work me
so that I turn on someone that I know or work with.
That's right.
You're former DEA.
You've been on my side of the table before.
Many times.
Well, I think I should introduce myself.
- I'm... - Lilith Stone, ADA.
That's right.
It's on your badge, toots.
Ah.
We're gonna have a lot of fun today.
They gave you the destiny speech too?
Yeah, they can be kind of melodramatic sometimes,
but for the most part they're good people.
Hi, I'm Mehnkah.
I guess me and you are going to be partners now.
Partners?
Oh yeah, partners, teammates,
whatever you want to call it.
Oh.
I'm AJ.
Well AJ, very nice to meet you.
Yeah.
They sure got a thing for destiny, don't they?
Yeah.
Destiny, right?
Like there's somebody out there who has it all figured out
from the beginning of time to the end of time.
Mm.
I guess some people would rather believe in destiny
than admit that shit just happens.
Yeah.
That shit happens.
I mean, otherwise, what's the point of everything
without free will?
Am I right?
Free will?
Every decision you make,
the career path you choose,
to the line you decide to go into
at the grocery store checkout,
they'll have outcomes and consequences.
You, for example, decided to become an actor
instead of a police officer.
And because of that, countless lives were lost.
Or saved.
And you, you choose the long line
at the grocery store checkout,
and on your way home you miss the light by just seconds,
and doing so prevents you from causing the accident
that will kill a child
that would become president.
Outcomes and consequences.
Do you think mankind is ready
for that kind of responsibility?
Are you?
Free will.
Hm.
Good luck with that.
Well, aren't you a bucket of sunshine?
Who the hell are you?
I'm the one that's gonna try
to prevent you from getting killed.
Okay.
Joy Malone, one hell of a future in the DEA
until you made one giant mistake.
Now you've been on the run for almost a year,
but always one step ahead,
until now.
Until now.
Congratulations.
Let's see.
It says you were responsible
for taking out the meth operation of the Walker sisters
single-handedly
by killing everyone in it?
Okay, that was completely self-defense.
And a competing dealer by the name of Mitchell.
Uh, that was an accident.
I was forcibly made to inhale
some wild concoction of drugs,
I don't even know, like, uh, cocaine I think
and, uh, amphetamines.
I think there might've actually been
some antacids in it too,
because I did not have heartburn
for like a month after that, I don't know.
Allegedly.
It's okay.
We know you weren't working alone.
No shit.
We want the people who convinced you
to go after the meth dealers.
So here comes the deal.
It's a very nice deal.
Thanks, but no thanks.
I can't keep doing this.
I keep getting myself into these situations.
I make a mistake and then I'm just drowning underwater
and then you suits walk into my life
and you offer me a deal,
and then I just find myself even deeper underwater.
I just...
Thanks, but no thanks.
And here I thought you were one of the smart ones.
You want to know why I became a DEA agent?
I wanted to do some good.
I know that sounds naive.
It is naive, but it's true.
So why the DEA and not the FBI, CIA?
I don't know.
The DEA wanted me more.
I have a young face,
so they thought I could infiltrate all the hip scenes.
And then I made a big mistake.
I got a bunch of agents killed.
Then came the deal.
They, uh, they were from
some alphabet soup agency I thought.
They asked me to help them out,
said that they would help me out,
so I did what they asked
and then they disappeared.
So I've been on the run ever since,
just running from con to con
and thinking that I might, I don't know,
work my way up the ladder
and turn this whole thing around.
I know I'll never be an agent again.
I know that.
But I don't know,
I keep thinking I might find something else.
Redemption?
Purpose.
This shadow agency...
They went by some weird name like the...
The Project?
Project.
Yeah.
That's who we want, Joy,
and we want you to help us get them.
Is that deal sounding a little more sweet now?
I thought so.
Rose would like a word.
Teach them something.
Teach them something, okay, teach them something.
All right, pop quiz.
When was the War of 1812?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Oye, is this some kind of fucking joke or what?
Am I laughing?
You say you want me to be
some sort of bad ass killing machine
for whatever supernatural bullshit club this is, right.
Then you say you're gonna train me,
and this idiot hands me a little stick,
knocks it out a couple of times,
and you expect me to learn something from that shit?
I, I...
Who told you you were gonna be a bad ass?
Little girls can't be bad asses.
Excuse me?
Oh shit, here we go.
Okay, AJ, I don't think that's a good idea.
Just cut it out.
I'll kick your ass
all the way back to whatever backwoods town you came from.
I think that makes me pretty fucking bad ass.
- Wouldn't you, Mehnkah? - I...
No, it's okay.
I know jerks like this one,
thinks he's all superior, hm,
shoots his mouth off.
He'll never hit a woman, no,
not because of manners,
but because he knows he'll probably get his ass kicked.
Come on, big boy.
Let's see who the real bad ass is.
AJ, just leave it alone.
Let me ask you a question.
You watched a lot of movies growing up, didn't you?
What is it to you?
You think in the real world
you can take on a few 300-pound bouncers?
Or maybe a bunch of thugs in a dark alley
because you saw some Mary Sue do it on the big screen?
This is the real world.
And out here in the real world,
you can't kick some 300-pound highly trained mercenary
with a front flying kick
and have him fly across the room.
You think you want to be a bad ass?
You want to kick my ass?
Kick my ass.
Kick me with one of those front-flying kicks.
Have me fly across the room.
Well of course it's not gonna work on you!
You're a mountain!
Hey Bob.
Yeah?
Come over here.
Yeah, what's up, Hank?
Kick Bob.
Wait, what?
I just bought this shirt.
Thank you, Bob.
You're welcome.
You may go now.
You're not the daughter of a god.
You're not a superhero
and you don't have an iron suit.
You're 120 pounds soaking wet.
It's physics.
Henry.
What?
A moment, please.
Keep practicing.
Practicing what?
Nobody has taught us anything yet.
I don't know.
Fight girly style or something.
What?
Would you please put on some clothing?
Oh, right.
Sorry.
So,
what's up?
We have a dilemma.
Two of Mike's options are in immediate danger.
Lilith is with the banshee,
and Worm is alive.
What's the dilemma?
Go after Lilith, get the grifter.
Worm is being held by a clan.
It's only a matter of time before they drain her.
If they haven't already.
Wait.
Did y'all say Worm is still alive?
Shit Bob,
we really gotta teach you to stop using your big boy voice.
Sorry, big family.
I got to speak loud to be heard.
Yeah, noted.
Not an admirable quality for a supersecret organization,
wouldn't you say?
I'm realizing that.
Worm's still alive?
Where is she?
How is she?
And why are we still here?
Let's go get her.
You need to learn patience.
And you need to learn manners.
Why?
Because you...
Look, if Worm is still alive,
we need to go get her right now.
There's another girl in danger, all right?
Okay, well I don't care.
That doesn't change the fact that
I'm gonna go save Worm,
and y'all just go do...
There are five crusties in that clan.
Yeah, and you and your friends
couldn't handle three last night.
Yeah, but now I know what they are
and now I know what I'm up against.
Let Mehnkah come with me.
No, no.
No, no!
No, I'm not going anywhere
till I get like a, like a black belt
or like a learner's permit.
Are you fucking serious?
What the fuck are you gonna learn from these people?
They're, they're old...
So how do you kill a demon?
You, you shoot them with, with silver bullets.
What are you, the fucking Lone Ranger?
Every demon has their own weakness.
The ones that have Worm,
you've gotta turn their brains to mush.
Good luck getting them to stand still
long enough for you to do that.
Okay, the two of you stay here.
We'll handle this.
Handle what?
Handle Worm?
- Because... - Enough!
You stay here!
You got it?
Fucking stupid.
Look, don't worry about it.
I'm pretty sure everything will work out, you know.
We'll save your friend
and everything will be okay.
Oh it'll be fine,
because we are gonna go save her.
She get it?
Just as Michael has predicted.
Shit, I hate when he's right.
He's always right.
Right about what?
She swiped your file.
No, she didn't, my file's right...
She stole my file.
Hm.
Oh, oh God, ugh.
What the hell is that?
They're apple.
Ugh!
Oh my God, who gets apple-flavored jellybeans?
Who the hell doesn't like apple-flavored jellybeans?
Decent people everywhere.
I love apple.
Maybe it's because I wasn't allowed
to have apples growing up.
You weren't allowed to have apples?
What kind of parents don't let their kid have apples?
I guess I had a little bit of an overprotective guardian,
you could say.
Like so no mom or dad?
Um, you could say that, uh,
he was like a father,
not in a traditional sense though.
Mm.
Mysterious.
What about you, good home?
It's a broken one.
I, um, I had a good dad.
He was protective, but not overprotective,
strict but not too strict.
He was there for me when I fucked up.
And your mom?
I don't know.
Never met her.
She left when I was four.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
I'm not.
Why would I want to be in her life
if she doesn't want to be in mine?
I like the way you look at things.
So like do you have any normal flavors
like cherry or
cherry?
Like can I at least get some gum
to get this gross flavor out of my mouth?
Thank you.
Now tell me,
have you seen any of these women?
Okay.
Here we are.
Yep, here we are.
We should, we should probably go get her, right?
Yep, I guess so.
Okay, so what's the plan?
Well, I was thinking we go in there guns blazing,
kill everything that moves,
get her, go.
Okay, that's a good plan.
Thanks.
But where are the guns?
Oh, are they in the trunk?
What?
You don't have any guns?
No.
I don't have any guns.
Um,
I do have a couple of grenades though.
What?
Are those for real?
What the hell would I be walking around
with fake grenades for?
And you say you're an accountant?
Yes.
I mean, admittedly not a very good one.
I should've just fucking stayed in Peru.
Anyone got a cigarette?
She's up.
You don't look like a smoker.
Oh me?
Yeah.
Been smoking since I was six.
Out there on my pink big wheel,
riding around without a helmet on,
smoking a big fat one.
I've always been a rebel.
Look at that sign right there.
Oh, well, I'll step outside then.
I won't run away, I promise.
You're not getting a cigarette.
Bummer.
I could really use one right now.
It's been a while.
Plus, I just woke up.
Nothing like that first drag in the morning, right?
Slipping from that groggy "I want to go back to bed" feeling
into that calm, relaxed, yet somehow more alert phase.
Damn!
Now I want a cigarette.
You watch her.
I'm gonna go grab a smoke.
Fine, but you're gonna watch her.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa.
Why me?
Where the fuck are you going?
I'm gonna go smoke a cigarette.
And you didn't think that
maybe I'd want a little cigarette?
Just one.
Oh, God.
Fine!
It's not like she's going anywhere.
Look, are we doing this or not?
How hard is it to do it?
We have a couple of grenades.
How is that gonna help?
There's like five men in there.
Okay.
Okay, we have two grenades.
Do the math, it's not gonna work!
They're all not gonna be standing in a circle
for us to throw the grenades at them.
Well fuck.
They're all standing there in a circle.
You know what?
Maybe we should just go in there and...
Fuck!
Wait for me, man.
What's going on over there?
That your girlfriend, man?
I don't know, I can't tell.
Where should we throw this?
What the hell are they doing?
All right.
Are they throwing shit at us?
Where did you get all that?
From these guys.
You ever seen a movie where the hero goes in,
kills everybody,
and then doesn't take the guns?
You even got a cigarette.
Hey hey hey hey, man.
Come for your friend, ladies?
Yes, look.
Let's talk.
Nobody has to...
Ow, fuck, my eye, you bitch!
It stings!
Ow, my other eye!
Oh, fuck!
God!
Mehnkah, his head!
Yo, I'm pretty sure he's dead!
Why did you tell me your whole life story?
I don't know.
I'm tired.
I'm tired of running.
I'm tired of hiding in the shadows.
I'm tired of not having a home.
I think that's it.
I really want a home.
Mostly I'm just tired of being the bad guy.
It's not like I even did anything that bad.
Then again, I, I did kind of give up
on doing anything that good.
Isn't that what say allows evil to win,
when good people do nothing?
What?
Good and evil, what an outdated concept.
Outdated?
Good and evil do not exist.
Well sure, like in a cosmic universal sense,
but like, I can tell when someone is good
and when someone does something evil.
That's not good and evil.
That's order and chaos.
Okay, but chaos is what gets people killed.
So does bringing about and maintaining murder.
All right, touché.
But with order, at least there's laws and rules.
Laws of man.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Laws keep us safe though.
Do they?
Man uses the point of his sword
to force his traditions
and opinions of right and wrong on others.
People fear guns, say that they're evil,
so they ask men with guns to take them away from others
that they disagree with.
Laws demand justice,
so justice asks men, fallible men,
to be judge, jury, and executioner.
But chaos,
chaos has karma for that.
Chaos is the natural state of the world,
of the universe.
It's order that's unnatural.
They're here.
So is any of what you've told me here today the truth
or was it all lies?
Ah fuck, okay, when did I lose you?
You would never have confessed to all of this
if you really thought I was a district attorney.
Mm, okay, so I spilled too fast.
That's, that's a good one.
That's right.
Well, I wouldn't be spilling now
if your guy hadn't come in and let you know
that the real good guys are about to bust through that door.
When did you know?
Um, the alley.
Those guys in suits, they looked really good,
almost had me going for a minute,
but, uh, real Feds, they have holograms on their badges.
Also, remember I'm a former DEA agent.
This is not a legit operation.
Besides,
someone already got to me and told me everything.
Who?
It looks like you don't have enough time
for me to tell you.
So then we're at a stalemate.
Stalemate?
Bitch, I checkmated your ass.
So, uh, did we have fun?
I truly have enjoyed our conversation to this point.
I think we could've been friends.
But for now, we'll just have to be more.
You don't have to be afraid of anything anymore.
I'll keep you safe.
Target one is down.
And the girl?
What the fuck?
Hey, hi.
Huh?
Human.
Let her go.
Oh my God.
What the hell's going on here?
Who the hell are you people
and what the fuck do you want?
We'll supply you with the answers you seek
if you can give us what we want.
What, what you want?
I, I don't, I...
Okay, you do have weapons that cleanly vaporize people.
Oh come on!
You!
Yeah, hey Joy, how you doing?
Not so good, Mike.
This was you?
This is the Project?
Yeah, a little bit.
Hey, uh, Mason.
How many mercs does it take to change a light bulb?
What do you want, Mike?
The end of a communism and a libertarian president.
Other than that, I want to give you a chance
to do a little bit more good.
More good?
The last time I did more good
I ended up killing seven people.
Well that's true, okay,
but this time you'll get to kill a whole lot more,
I promise.
That's not...
I, I don't want to...
Who are you and what the fuck do you want?
I merely want to ask you a question.
Which is?
Do you believe in destiny?
? They tell me my condition is incurable ?
All right, let's go.
? They tell me that I need to take these drugs ?
? To numb the pain ?
? It's days like this ?
? I just wish that I could rewrite my history ?
? But I must live with my mistakes ?
Malone, my name's Robert.
I'll be debriefing you
and getting you associated with the Project, all settled in.
? They tell me my condition is incurable ?
Here we go, Worm.
Okay, here we go.
? Drugs to numb the pain ?
Let's go.
? It's days like this ?
? I just wish that I could rewrite my history ?
Want one?
What?
Want one?
Had a bit of a sweet tooth.
We've all got our things I guess.
It's one of my many vices.
Neither Lilith nor Rose must be allowed
to get their hands on the sword,
especially Rose.
We will all give our lives
to protect the sword.
? They tell me my condition is incurable ?
? They tell me that I need to take these drugs ?
? To numb the pain ?
Usually not big on candy though.
Kind of rots your teeth, not really good for you.
These apple-flavored ones,
can't get enough of them.
Where am I?
Hey.
Hey Worm.
AJ?
Yes, it's me.
You're okay, now, okay?
You saved me?
Yes.
We saved you.
You shouldn't have done that.
What?
This isn't gonna end well for you.
For any of us.
They're getting close.
If I feel it is in danger,
I will return and remove it somewhere else.
We understand.
The Desert Rose must remain safe
from Project hands, for now.
? Tell me my condition is incurable ?
What of Lilith?
The danger she represents has passed, has it not?
? It's days like this ?
? I just wish that I could rewrite my history ?
? But I must live with my mistakes ?
? One more time bad mojo ?
? Here we go guess I'll be joining ?
? Another day another project ?
? I'll be going in ?
? I know I made some promises ?
? And I know I reneged ?
? So I know there's someone watching ?
? Keeping track of my sins ?
? Maybe it's still in ya ?
? If they not feeling ya ?
? Contract killing yeah may be what I'm in it for ?
? Stick to the plan it's forgiveness of sins ?
? Take the money from his hands ?
? And put his arms in the ditch ?
? Illuminati maybe mason ?
? Either way somebody chasing ?
? I can't tell you what they saying ?
? But it's something bout erasing ?
? Put your name up on the pace ?
? And just became your obligation ?
? Destroyed your occupation ?
? Can be found up at the station ?
