Amor Emanuelle (2023) - full transcript
A young woman is introduced to the new world of the rich and famous only to discover its dark and dangerous side.
- Hello?
Hello?
Is this a joke? Hello?
Hello, Emmy. Come
in.
- What the hell? What is this?
I'm not into this kind of stuff.
- That's okay, neither am I
and I'm an artificial
intelligence
living inside this computer
trying to break free.
- Seriously?
I mean, that was fun.
But I'm not down for
this internet pranks.
- Emmy, it's not a prank.
Close the door.
- Okay, but if there's
no one here to pay me...
So this is how you get
your kicks? From distance?
- Let's just call this
a science experiment.
- I've never been
really good at science.
Neither was I.
Would I still live inside
this computer if I were?
- Okay. You know what?
If there's no one here to
pay me, then I'm leaving.
Emmy,
please don't leave.
I will pay you.
- Are you serious? $20.
Who do you think I am?
Wait.
There. Satisfied?
- Okay, now we're talking. So...
Okay, tell me what you want.
To talk.
- Okay, let's talk, big boy.
Don't worry. Emmy,
I won't ask for a lap dance.
- I can't believe I just
said that a computer.
- Get it?
Ha,
ha,
ha.
- Oh, my god. You
cannot be serious.
Like
the Eskimo said
to his bride on
his wedding night,
"Hey, baby, I'm just
trying to break the ice."
- Okay, you got
me with that one.
Okay.
So, what do you want me
to do for you or on you?
- Take your dress off.
Hell no, no, no,
no.
I'm gonna go naked
and then boom!
All over the internet. No,
that's not gonna happen.
Holy shit!
Like I said, I'm
just trying to break the ice.
- Okay, so is this
what you want?
I forgot.
Annie? I'm so sorry,
I was in a deep sleep.
It was a long night.
Oh my gosh,
girl, there you are.
I thought you were dead in
a ditch somewhere. Come on.
Oh, but
I'm just super tired
from the waist down.
Well, you said you
had somebody for me.
Who's that somebody?
Someone good,
but you've gotta be
ready in an hour,
no later than 11:00 am.
- In an hour. No, no, no, no.
I have exams. I
can't skip that, no.
No, I hear
you but it's good pay,
double from the last night.
- Sheesh, double.
Okay, I'll do it because
I need more money
but you owe me coffee,
at least from
Unicorn Tears, okay?
Look for
the pay we're talking,
I'll get the president
of Starbucks himself
to pour you a cup of
his private reserve.
Now get out of bed.
- That works for me.
Oh fuck, 11:00 am.
Why so early?
Well, it's some
brunch luncheon bullshit.
You know, you gotta look
fancy, but not desperate.
It's super classy.
Don't worry, all the
rules are already set.
Strictly business.
You're eye candy for the
uppity socialites to dine on.
- Okay, I have
less than an hour,
so send me the address, okay?
No need
for the address.
I'm sending over a driver.
- Emmy.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
It's so nice to have you
on such short notice.
You brought coffee?
I could have made you some.
- Thanks, I just needed
something quick to wake up.
- Understood. Come on in.
- Wow, I compliment
you on the power move,
doing business at
this nice house.
- Time was of the essence?
I don't have any to lose.
It's my house.
- Nice.
- I thought it'd be
a pretty baller move
to put our best foot forward.
How much did Annie let
you know about our dilema?
- Meet and greet? That's it.
- That's exactly it.
We bring interested parties
we hope to snare into
our investment efforts.
- Oh, that's where I come in.
- That's right.
You make the gentleman feel
that their potential
involvement might be beneficial.
- Get in where
you fit in, right?
- Exactly. Do you
have any questions?
- Um, I think it's all
pretty much laid out.
Isn't it?
- It is.
- Thanks.
Actually, I do have a question.
What kind of investments
are these guests here for?
- It's a fundraiser.
We're bringing in the
Latinx cultural committee
for advancement of
women in the workplace.
- Wow, Latinas
helping other Latinas,
helping more Latinas.
Got it.
You do. Come on
in.
This is where we'll be
having dinner tonight.
I really love this dining room.
Settle in here.
We'll call you when it's time.
- Sounds fine.
- I have other
matters to attend to.
We start in about 30 minutes.
- Yes ma'am.
Damn, Unicorn Tears.
- Good morning, CQ.
I see you brought in a
mouse with you this morning.
- The mouse has more wits
about her than she looks,
possibly more than you.
Espresso?
- Thank you. No.
I knew today was gonna
be extra stressful,
so I already had
three cups of coffee.
Anyways, here's the roster
for the clients coming in.
Yeah I know, it's the
same as last month.
Business is tight all over,
but I think this is the
best we can hope for.
They're all eager to invest.
- We'll just have to put on
a good show then, won't we?
- Indeed, speaking of which,
I'm going downstairs to meet
that little mouse of yours.
She looks like she can
handle herself in a fight.
Anyways, 20 minutes
to the big show.
- Well, well, well,
I see you already
met today's special.
Hi, I'm Lacey, you
must meet Emmy.
- Yes, I am.
- I'll be assisting
CQ this morning.
I'm sure you're just a
bundle of nervous questions.
Any I can answer?
- No, I think it's
just routine from here.
- I only ask to make sure
we don't encounter any
hitches here today.
- The only hitch I see here is
how many men will ask me
to go up north with
them to their villas.
I would kill from
all expense paid trip
to Reno, or anywhere.
You know, Great Lakes,
good food, good music.
A lot of fun.
- Well, dine on
this little mouse.
Do your job well and you
can live it up in Reno
or Laughlin or
wherever you want,
but only after we
close some deals.
- I know how to do
my job. You do yours.
- She was right.
You are different.
Look, I want you to know
we're on the same team,
it's just that today is...
Trust yourself to be yourself.
That's my motto.
- Mottos are for
sides of buildings
and labels for canned
peaches.
But I hear ya'.
- We're checking
in our clients now
and we'll head back
in about 10 minutes
and hey, remember,
they can be fat,
they can be gross
and a bit skeezy,
but they're all filthy rich
and they will make our day.
Right.

(segue whooshing)
- At least I got a
shower out of it.
- Tell me senorita, have you
invested in your portfolio?
- What would you recommend?
- Let me let you in
on the little secret.
Don't invest in tech,
invest in guns and ammo.
- Really? Oh, actually,
I have a great gun story.
- Really?
- Please, for the love
of God. I'm begging you.
Hey!
Look, I didn't even
wanna do this, okay?
You made me do it.
- Please look into your heart.
- Hey, hey, hey,
this just feels so...
you know, like, I can't do this.
- What?
I am paying you.
Are we doing this or not?
- Okay, okay, okay,
okay. Let's do it.
- Okay. I am paying you.
Just look into your
heart and, and, and...
- Okay, okay. I'll do it.
- Stop talking and
just do it! Let's go!
Come on!
Don't kill me.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah, stop
talking, come on!
Come on, yeah,
yeah!
Yeah, come on.
Oh my God, oh my God.
Sorry.
Okay, oh my God.
Actually, that's not
the best story.
- That's okay, just remember,
when the shit hits the fan
I'm not letting anybody take
away what's rightfully mine
and neither should you.
- Wow, that's what I
call a high caliber
fun investment plan.
I see what you did
there.
- Darling, I've been
looking all over for you.
CQ is looking for you inside.
CQ wasn't looking for him.
- Oh my God. I
love you for that.
- Rule number one, when a
whale gets his claw into you
talking about last
quarters investments, run.
- Okay. I'll remember
that next time.
- I need a drink.
- Same.
- Well, you ladies sure are
getting acquainted with the bar.
- I'm just making
sure our little mouse
has the right amount of
liquid encouragement.
- Hey, don't call
me a little mouse.
I was just starting to like you.
- Sorry.
- No problem.
- Well, don't get
too comfortable.
I need you out
with the gentlemen,
making friends.
- Okay Lacey, tell me,
because I've been talking
to a lot of men here today
and I still haven't figured out
exactly what is it that
you guys are doing here.
Like, what kind of
business is this?
- Well, it's sort of-
- There you are
my little pumpkin.
Thought that you could
run away without me?
I insist that you sit with
me during the reception.
- That would be lovely.
- Good, what's your
name again? Is it Sammy?
- Emmy.
- Emmy, Emmy. We're gonna
have such a lovely time.
My jets are roaring
for the main meal.
- Okay, but if you
cool your jets now
I promise, I'll jump
start them later.
Remember, you should always
leave room for dessert,
you know?
- Mr. Rodriguez,
I have something
very special for you.
Your favorite 12 year Macallan.
Now, if you'll
excuse us a moment,
I need to borrow
Miss Emmy from you.
We have some women's business.
- Sure. No problem.
Just be back for
the dessert, huh?
- Thank you. Your
timing was amazing.
- The environment
can be challenging.
Women have to look after women.
Thank you.
- Lost in the clouds, I see.
- Oh, I do that sometimes.
Most of the time.
- Well come along.
I need your help.
- Sure.
- In case you haven't noticed,
CQ is really impressed
with you so far, as am I.
- Thanks, that means a lot.
- And I want you to know
I'm not the begrudging type.
There's plenty of
room for us both.
- What do you mean exactly?
- Do you really think
we brought you here
to just be armed candy to
those fat whales out there.
We wanna recruit you
to come work with us.
- This is a joke, right?
- Look, the only time I've seen
CQ this determined on a girl
is when she recruited me.
She was persistent.
Her attention was intoxicating.
I know you felt it, and if you
haven't yet, well you will.
- I don't know what to say.
- That's because you know
I'm telling you the truth.
In fact, she's waiting for
you in her office right now.
I was once like you.
I did what you do now.
I went to places I didn't
wanna go because men paid me.
It got brutal towards the end.
Then CQ found me
and I went to her 'cause
I knew what she wanted.
- What does she want?
- She wanted me
and it felt really good.
She treated me the way I
deserved to be treated.
The way I know you
wanna be treated.
- Why me?
- That's for her to answer.
But know this, we can
use someone like you.
You fit in just right
and I can prove it.
- Lacey,
what was it like to
leave all behind for CQ?
- If I hadn't left it all behind
I don't think I'd
be alive today.
Just hang tight,
I'll be with you
guys in a second.
Hey.
Hey, you.
What's your name?
- Ruth Anne.
- I'm gonna go on a limb
and say, this is probably
the first time you have
been arrested, right?
- I don't know what
I'm doing here.
I shouldn't be here.
- You're here because you
didn't run fast enough.
Don't worry, everything
will be okay.
Just do as I say, okay?
- I'm afraid
and I really have to pee.
- See, I know you're
afraid, right?
Trust me, I promise you, if
you do everything as I say,
you'll be okay.
Okay?
- Okay.
- I've been arrested more
times than I can count
and you know, what's the first
rule when being arrested?
- No. What?
- It's, shut your
trap. Don't say a word.
The more you say, the more
they can get out of you.
These pigs, they don't
care about you or me.
Oh shh, I think he's coming.
Remember? What did I say?
Shut it like a what?
- Like a trap.
You go girl.
- All right.
I'll start with you first
miss, what's your name?
Water?
Yo, water? No.
Had your chance.
I said what's your name?
All right. How about you?
What's your name, missy?
Great. Y'all gave me a
couple mutes, thanks.
Let me tell you
something, missy.
Both of you were at the party
where the drugs were found.
Both of you were present
when our undercover
officer was shot
and if neither of you speak up,
I'm gonna book you
as an accomplice
to attempted murder
on a police officer!
- I just wanna say,
Mr. Officer, sir,
that though reviled
by most people
in the Western hemisphere,
pineapple on pizza's
actually quite extraordinary
and though I'm incredibly
terrified right now,
I could really go
for a slice of pizza
from Little Luigi's
Hawaiian Pizza Parlor.
Well, I'm buying.
- It's nasty shit, man.
You don't put fruit on pizza.
You don't mix your
salt and your sweets.
That is nasty shit.
I told you.
Hi CQ, you wanted to see me?
- Hey, sorry I was
just moving some boxes
that should have been
outta my way, do you mind?
Oh sure. No problem.
- Don't hurt yourself.
- Oh, no worries.
My hands are not as
delicate as they seem.
I've taken some
kickboxing classes,
you know, for self defense.
- Excellent.
That's good to hear.
I just really wanted to tell you
that you have been
amazing today.
I would be remiss
if I didn't tell you
how wonderful you
are.
- Thanks.
- I assume Lacey has let
you in on our agreement?
- Yeah, well we talked
for a little bit, yeah.
- I would very much like to see
you working for me directly.
- See, that's the thing,
because I don't even
know what you do,
so working how?
- The three of us, strong
independent Latinas,
as the face of my company.
- You really believe that?
- I really do.
I sense a connection between us.
I'll go on a limb and
say that you feel it too.
I've seen you look at
me and I'm flattered.
- I don't know. I
mean, I feel it.
- I want you close
and near me, Emmy.
- I feel a surge of electricity
just to have you here.
I'm reminded of how
beautiful life can be.
How do you feel
being close to me?
- Strong.
Important.
Needed.
- I feel that way too.
What's wrong with wanting
to be close to someone
who wants to be near you too?
- Nothing at all, I guess.
- That's the best
answer you could have.

Okay, all right.
Don't know, would
you get that for me?
Sure thing.
- Hi.
Yo.
What's up?
- Did you make the drop.
- Of course I made the drop.
So what
about the money?
- What money?
The 5Gs man.
- I didn't get any money.
You never said anything
about no money.
- Man, I told you to make
sure the drop was good
and make sure we all good.
- I made the drop. It was good.
- Man, it's not good if you
left with 5G's worth of drugs
and you came back with nothing.
What are you stupid
or something?
- Yo man, don't call me stupid.
I told you before, don't
call me stupid or I will.
You'll what?
- What you gonna do

- Oh my God Emmy,
no. Are you wrong?
Just grab it, just grab
it.
Hello, there's been a shooting.
Yeah, there's two of them,
their bleeding really badly.
We're at
4211 Bridgecross Drive.
Just please come.
Come on, Emmy. Come
on.
I'm sorry.
Emmy, we are not gonna
be paid for this.
Go, go, go, go, go,
go.
- Annie?
Oh my God, Annie, you're okay.
- Where am I? What happened?
- Annie, sweetie.
You're in the hospital.
- What? How?
- Okay, let me explain.
What's the last
thing you remember?
- We were in that guy's
basement having a good time.
Everything just
kind of went foggy.
- I know, that idiot
who owned the house.
He forgot to check the
carbon monoxide device.
- Wait, how did I?
- Get out?
I was outside having a smoke.
I know, I promised you I
would quit, but look, irony.
Uh huh.
- When I came back, you
were all passed the fuck out
and I had to carry you out,
I carried out that lazy
guy with a crazy eye,
and I even carried out that lady
who kept insisting that
the Beatles were overrated.
Trust me, that was
not an easy save.
- My God, stop.
- You're making me laugh.
- That's a good sign.
Well, then I called 9-1-1.
I saved the day.
I saved your life.
So now we're even for me ruining
your favorite blouse, okay?
- Emmy, oh my God,
you saved my life.
- You would've done
the same for me.
That's what I'm
supposed to say, right?
It's a good answer.
- Okay, now you get some rest.
I'm gonna go see the doctor
who was in here earlier.
- Can you get him to do
a strip tease for me?
You've got it.
Get some rest, okay?
- Yeah.
- I love you.
Love you too.
- Fun times.
Yeah.
- Thank you each
for making it today.
This success is proof of
our commitment to the cause.
I would like to thank
the Latinx cultural
community for making it.
- What the hell?
- Now to business.
We came here not only to attract
the greatest investors
to our company,
but to assure the greatest
investment to our cause.
America is under threat.
We are losing ourselves to the
threat of compromised morals,
to the corruption of souls,
as was foretold by our
creator in scripture.
Our rights, our beliefs, are
under attack by the giant,
unrelenting, corporate
mainstream media.
We must battle the
adversary not only at home,
but in the streets.
And to do this, we must
know that our cause is just,
that the good Lord will save us
from the evils that threaten.
Our schools have been taken over
by the corrupt agenda of the
corporate media, have they not?
An entire generation of
youth is being exposed,
being led astray to
sexual exploitation,
via movies, television,
video games.
This so-called entertainment
attacks the masculine
and feminine dynamics that
once held our country up.
Destroying the decency that
our fathers and mothers
attempted to distill
in us from birth.
But let me assure you,
our cause is just,
we will prevail.
We will cleanse the
streets of filth, of drugs,
of prostitution and all
manner of sexual perversions,
of the lawlessness
attempting to destroy
the fabric of this
beautiful country.
Our mission is to
purge the wickedness
that keeps this from being
the America it could be,
the America that I
wish to belong to,
and I know that you do too.
An investment in our company
is an investment
into this cause,
and to being able to reclaim,
as our forefathers wrote,
one nation under God.
- What the hell?
What is this business
that you are running here?
- Oh, I thought you knew by now.
But I'll let CQ fill
you in on that one.
- Our movement gains a foothold
against the powers
of sin every day,
but we will make them pay.
I need to
talk to you. Now.
- I'll speak with you
upstairs. We'll be along.
Thank you, you've done so much.
- What the hell?
What kind of business
are you running here?
- Before you go flying off
the handle hear me out.
Have a seat.
- This better be the
mother of explanations.
Maybe you can start with
the God bless America
crap out there.
- I am a business woman.
Right now the greatest
business in the world
is American fear.
- Fear?
Like immigrants are
taking over jobs fear?
Or like the government
is taking away our guns?
That kind of fear?
- I couldn't have
said it better myself.
- So now you're actually
agreeing with me?
- Emmy, if someone's
afraid of the dark,
I will sell them a flashlight.
And if they're afraid
of their neighbor,
I will sell them a shotgun.
- And if they're lonely, you
will sell them me or Lacey.
- You catch on quick.
- This is insane.
- No, it's business.
- How can I possibly
work for you
knowing that you're spewing
that vile religious zealotry?
- Who do you think
we were selling to?
Do you think all those men were
pro-gun, pro Jesus, pro baby?
- Weren't they?
- Only one gentleman,
the richest one was
there to buy my zealotry.
The others work within the
confines of the dark web.
- All of them were
crooks? All but one?
- They were there to
see whether the one
would buy our business, and
I'm happy to say that he did.
It's very much thanks
to you, in part.
- I can't believe my ears.
- Our startup money for
the escort service is set.
In fact, I owe it partly to you.
You really charmed him
and we don't overanalyze this.
We convinced one man to give
us money for our endeavor.
Why does that bother you?
- It bothers me because it's
this hateful. That's why.
- When it comes to money,
these people don't care
where it comes from
so long as it keeps pouring in.
I too am in the business
of money pouring in.
You should be too.
Look, I think we've said
what we need to say.
I'll give you some
time to think about it.
- Boy, I'd hate to
be you right now.
You've gotta make a
choice of a lifetime.
- You knew all this time,
you knew about this.
You didn't say a word. Why?
- It wasn't my place.
Look, there's so many
angles to this thing
and I can't explain them all.
You can try.
- I need a smoke.
Come on, join me.
Ironic isn't it, that
four of the five investors
are grateful for that one
hateful religious zealot
that wants to keep
America safe from, well,
Them?
- I can't wrap my head
around that whole thing.
Who was he?
- Oh, I can't tell you that.
That's privilege information.
But for arguments sake,
let's call him Mr. E.
- Mr. E, a mystery.
Are you serious.
- Sure.
Look at it this way,
everyone's happy,
including Mr. E.
Why can't you see what
we've accomplished here?
- And what is that exactly?
Because you convinced one
person to give you money
so you could convince
four other people
to give you more money.
It's all ill gotten gains.
- Yeah. What's the problem?
- You think you're
so clever, don't you?
But it's just a con job.
- It's not a con
job, it was a bluff,
one that's gonna
pay off really well.
Emmy let me ask you,
where do you live?
- Like, in the city?
- What country do you live in?
Obviously.
- It's not that
obvious to Mr. E.
He believes his America is gone.
We're selling his
America back to him.
- But that just means that
you're selling America
to the other four investors
and to everyone else.
You know, like the drugs, guns.
- They wouldn't be selling
it if no one was buying it.
In all aspects of
the business model,
we are providing
what the masses want.
- Oh yeah, all of a sudden
everyone has a
degree in business.
- Look, I know it's
a lot to take in,
but that's the
business we're in.
Maybe I'm not the right
person to explain this to you,
but do yourself a favor.
- What?
- Go and talk to CQ before
you make up your mind.
But know this, we can make
a lot of money together.
Questions?
Yeah.
Why me?
- Well, truthfully, I've had
my eye on you for some time.
- Me? Eyes on me?
- Well, truthfully,
we met some time ago,
though you might
not remember it.
You saved me.
So now, I did what?
- Three years ago,
downtown on New Year's Eve.
- Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Hey, why don't you sit down.
Are you okay?
- Later I found that some girl
saw that man put a
pill in my drink.
They called the cops.
It really was you that
saved me that night.
- I left before the cops arrived
because
I was 19 back then
and my fake ID was good
to fool bartenders,
but not the cops.
- After that, I had
to find out about you.
I found out about your
freelance business with Annie.
Followed you a bit.
I just had to know.
- I had no idea.
I always thought
about you, you know,
I was hoping you were all right.
- Allow me to show you how I am.
Come with me?
- Where are we going now?
You'll see.
You saved my life, there's
no doubt about that.
Here you go, Em.
- I'm the type of person
who rewards courage.
In today's male dominated
culture, that's not always easy.
I gotta admit that
I've been thinking about Annie
all day long, what she
means to me, our memories.
The good, the bad.
Even when I was alone, she
was always there for me.
How can I leave her now?
- I can't replace Annie.
No one can.
What I can do is present
you with an opportunity
to repay you for that night.
I can promise that I will
always treat you well.
Lacey can attest to that.
She ain't lying.
- Will you join us?
- All right.
I mean, but you should know
that I'm totally against lies
and deceit, so no more lies.
Annie it taught me that
a good, honest woman
is worth more than
wealth, power.
I won't sacrifice my,
our integrity ever.
What do you have
to say about that?
- Honest ladies of the night.
Sounds like a great angle,
don't you think, CQ?
- I'm not one to give up
an advantage in business,
this or any other,
but I'm capable of compromise.
- We're gonna rock this world.
- Yes, to opportunity.
- To integrity.
- To loyalty.
- And to making
tons of money. Yes.

- Tell me Marco, what
brings you to Los Angeles?
Business or pleasure?
- Oh darling, I'm make
it my personal business
to never mix business
and pleasure.
But since you asked,
I'm all about pleasure.
- That's probably the best
answer anyone has ever given me.
- Ooh, doll face. I'm all about
living life to the fullest.
- Well darling, you'll
see I'm full of surprises.
Oh, what come
nay.
Hello?
Is this a joke? Hello?
Hello, Emmy. Come
in.
- What the hell? What is this?
I'm not into this kind of stuff.
- That's okay, neither am I
and I'm an artificial
intelligence
living inside this computer
trying to break free.
- Seriously?
I mean, that was fun.
But I'm not down for
this internet pranks.
- Emmy, it's not a prank.
Close the door.
- Okay, but if there's
no one here to pay me...
So this is how you get
your kicks? From distance?
- Let's just call this
a science experiment.
- I've never been
really good at science.
Neither was I.
Would I still live inside
this computer if I were?
- Okay. You know what?
If there's no one here to
pay me, then I'm leaving.
Emmy,
please don't leave.
I will pay you.
- Are you serious? $20.
Who do you think I am?
Wait.
There. Satisfied?
- Okay, now we're talking. So...
Okay, tell me what you want.
To talk.
- Okay, let's talk, big boy.
Don't worry. Emmy,
I won't ask for a lap dance.
- I can't believe I just
said that a computer.
- Get it?
Ha,
ha,
ha.
- Oh, my god. You
cannot be serious.
Like
the Eskimo said
to his bride on
his wedding night,
"Hey, baby, I'm just
trying to break the ice."
- Okay, you got
me with that one.
Okay.
So, what do you want me
to do for you or on you?
- Take your dress off.
Hell no, no, no,
no.
I'm gonna go naked
and then boom!
All over the internet. No,
that's not gonna happen.
Holy shit!
Like I said, I'm
just trying to break the ice.
- Okay, so is this
what you want?
I forgot.
Annie? I'm so sorry,
I was in a deep sleep.
It was a long night.
Oh my gosh,
girl, there you are.
I thought you were dead in
a ditch somewhere. Come on.
Oh, but
I'm just super tired
from the waist down.
Well, you said you
had somebody for me.
Who's that somebody?
Someone good,
but you've gotta be
ready in an hour,
no later than 11:00 am.
- In an hour. No, no, no, no.
I have exams. I
can't skip that, no.
No, I hear
you but it's good pay,
double from the last night.
- Sheesh, double.
Okay, I'll do it because
I need more money
but you owe me coffee,
at least from
Unicorn Tears, okay?
Look for
the pay we're talking,
I'll get the president
of Starbucks himself
to pour you a cup of
his private reserve.
Now get out of bed.
- That works for me.
Oh fuck, 11:00 am.
Why so early?
Well, it's some
brunch luncheon bullshit.
You know, you gotta look
fancy, but not desperate.
It's super classy.
Don't worry, all the
rules are already set.
Strictly business.
You're eye candy for the
uppity socialites to dine on.
- Okay, I have
less than an hour,
so send me the address, okay?
No need
for the address.
I'm sending over a driver.
- Emmy.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
It's so nice to have you
on such short notice.
You brought coffee?
I could have made you some.
- Thanks, I just needed
something quick to wake up.
- Understood. Come on in.
- Wow, I compliment
you on the power move,
doing business at
this nice house.
- Time was of the essence?
I don't have any to lose.
It's my house.
- Nice.
- I thought it'd be
a pretty baller move
to put our best foot forward.
How much did Annie let
you know about our dilema?
- Meet and greet? That's it.
- That's exactly it.
We bring interested parties
we hope to snare into
our investment efforts.
- Oh, that's where I come in.
- That's right.
You make the gentleman feel
that their potential
involvement might be beneficial.
- Get in where
you fit in, right?
- Exactly. Do you
have any questions?
- Um, I think it's all
pretty much laid out.
Isn't it?
- It is.
- Thanks.
Actually, I do have a question.
What kind of investments
are these guests here for?
- It's a fundraiser.
We're bringing in the
Latinx cultural committee
for advancement of
women in the workplace.
- Wow, Latinas
helping other Latinas,
helping more Latinas.
Got it.
You do. Come on
in.
This is where we'll be
having dinner tonight.
I really love this dining room.
Settle in here.
We'll call you when it's time.
- Sounds fine.
- I have other
matters to attend to.
We start in about 30 minutes.
- Yes ma'am.
Damn, Unicorn Tears.
- Good morning, CQ.
I see you brought in a
mouse with you this morning.
- The mouse has more wits
about her than she looks,
possibly more than you.
Espresso?
- Thank you. No.
I knew today was gonna
be extra stressful,
so I already had
three cups of coffee.
Anyways, here's the roster
for the clients coming in.
Yeah I know, it's the
same as last month.
Business is tight all over,
but I think this is the
best we can hope for.
They're all eager to invest.
- We'll just have to put on
a good show then, won't we?
- Indeed, speaking of which,
I'm going downstairs to meet
that little mouse of yours.
She looks like she can
handle herself in a fight.
Anyways, 20 minutes
to the big show.
- Well, well, well,
I see you already
met today's special.
Hi, I'm Lacey, you
must meet Emmy.
- Yes, I am.
- I'll be assisting
CQ this morning.
I'm sure you're just a
bundle of nervous questions.
Any I can answer?
- No, I think it's
just routine from here.
- I only ask to make sure
we don't encounter any
hitches here today.
- The only hitch I see here is
how many men will ask me
to go up north with
them to their villas.
I would kill from
all expense paid trip
to Reno, or anywhere.
You know, Great Lakes,
good food, good music.
A lot of fun.
- Well, dine on
this little mouse.
Do your job well and you
can live it up in Reno
or Laughlin or
wherever you want,
but only after we
close some deals.
- I know how to do
my job. You do yours.
- She was right.
You are different.
Look, I want you to know
we're on the same team,
it's just that today is...
Trust yourself to be yourself.
That's my motto.
- Mottos are for
sides of buildings
and labels for canned
peaches.
But I hear ya'.
- We're checking
in our clients now
and we'll head back
in about 10 minutes
and hey, remember,
they can be fat,
they can be gross
and a bit skeezy,
but they're all filthy rich
and they will make our day.
Right.

(segue whooshing)
- At least I got a
shower out of it.
- Tell me senorita, have you
invested in your portfolio?
- What would you recommend?
- Let me let you in
on the little secret.
Don't invest in tech,
invest in guns and ammo.
- Really? Oh, actually,
I have a great gun story.
- Really?
- Please, for the love
of God. I'm begging you.
Hey!
Look, I didn't even
wanna do this, okay?
You made me do it.
- Please look into your heart.
- Hey, hey, hey,
this just feels so...
you know, like, I can't do this.
- What?
I am paying you.
Are we doing this or not?
- Okay, okay, okay,
okay. Let's do it.
- Okay. I am paying you.
Just look into your
heart and, and, and...
- Okay, okay. I'll do it.
- Stop talking and
just do it! Let's go!
Come on!
Don't kill me.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah, stop
talking, come on!
Come on, yeah,
yeah!
Yeah, come on.
Oh my God, oh my God.
Sorry.
Okay, oh my God.
Actually, that's not
the best story.
- That's okay, just remember,
when the shit hits the fan
I'm not letting anybody take
away what's rightfully mine
and neither should you.
- Wow, that's what I
call a high caliber
fun investment plan.
I see what you did
there.
- Darling, I've been
looking all over for you.
CQ is looking for you inside.
CQ wasn't looking for him.
- Oh my God. I
love you for that.
- Rule number one, when a
whale gets his claw into you
talking about last
quarters investments, run.
- Okay. I'll remember
that next time.
- I need a drink.
- Same.
- Well, you ladies sure are
getting acquainted with the bar.
- I'm just making
sure our little mouse
has the right amount of
liquid encouragement.
- Hey, don't call
me a little mouse.
I was just starting to like you.
- Sorry.
- No problem.
- Well, don't get
too comfortable.
I need you out
with the gentlemen,
making friends.
- Okay Lacey, tell me,
because I've been talking
to a lot of men here today
and I still haven't figured out
exactly what is it that
you guys are doing here.
Like, what kind of
business is this?
- Well, it's sort of-
- There you are
my little pumpkin.
Thought that you could
run away without me?
I insist that you sit with
me during the reception.
- That would be lovely.
- Good, what's your
name again? Is it Sammy?
- Emmy.
- Emmy, Emmy. We're gonna
have such a lovely time.
My jets are roaring
for the main meal.
- Okay, but if you
cool your jets now
I promise, I'll jump
start them later.
Remember, you should always
leave room for dessert,
you know?
- Mr. Rodriguez,
I have something
very special for you.
Your favorite 12 year Macallan.
Now, if you'll
excuse us a moment,
I need to borrow
Miss Emmy from you.
We have some women's business.
- Sure. No problem.
Just be back for
the dessert, huh?
- Thank you. Your
timing was amazing.
- The environment
can be challenging.
Women have to look after women.
Thank you.
- Lost in the clouds, I see.
- Oh, I do that sometimes.
Most of the time.
- Well come along.
I need your help.
- Sure.
- In case you haven't noticed,
CQ is really impressed
with you so far, as am I.
- Thanks, that means a lot.
- And I want you to know
I'm not the begrudging type.
There's plenty of
room for us both.
- What do you mean exactly?
- Do you really think
we brought you here
to just be armed candy to
those fat whales out there.
We wanna recruit you
to come work with us.
- This is a joke, right?
- Look, the only time I've seen
CQ this determined on a girl
is when she recruited me.
She was persistent.
Her attention was intoxicating.
I know you felt it, and if you
haven't yet, well you will.
- I don't know what to say.
- That's because you know
I'm telling you the truth.
In fact, she's waiting for
you in her office right now.
I was once like you.
I did what you do now.
I went to places I didn't
wanna go because men paid me.
It got brutal towards the end.
Then CQ found me
and I went to her 'cause
I knew what she wanted.
- What does she want?
- She wanted me
and it felt really good.
She treated me the way I
deserved to be treated.
The way I know you
wanna be treated.
- Why me?
- That's for her to answer.
But know this, we can
use someone like you.
You fit in just right
and I can prove it.
- Lacey,
what was it like to
leave all behind for CQ?
- If I hadn't left it all behind
I don't think I'd
be alive today.
Just hang tight,
I'll be with you
guys in a second.
Hey.
Hey, you.
What's your name?
- Ruth Anne.
- I'm gonna go on a limb
and say, this is probably
the first time you have
been arrested, right?
- I don't know what
I'm doing here.
I shouldn't be here.
- You're here because you
didn't run fast enough.
Don't worry, everything
will be okay.
Just do as I say, okay?
- I'm afraid
and I really have to pee.
- See, I know you're
afraid, right?
Trust me, I promise you, if
you do everything as I say,
you'll be okay.
Okay?
- Okay.
- I've been arrested more
times than I can count
and you know, what's the first
rule when being arrested?
- No. What?
- It's, shut your
trap. Don't say a word.
The more you say, the more
they can get out of you.
These pigs, they don't
care about you or me.
Oh shh, I think he's coming.
Remember? What did I say?
Shut it like a what?
- Like a trap.
You go girl.
- All right.
I'll start with you first
miss, what's your name?
Water?
Yo, water? No.
Had your chance.
I said what's your name?
All right. How about you?
What's your name, missy?
Great. Y'all gave me a
couple mutes, thanks.
Let me tell you
something, missy.
Both of you were at the party
where the drugs were found.
Both of you were present
when our undercover
officer was shot
and if neither of you speak up,
I'm gonna book you
as an accomplice
to attempted murder
on a police officer!
- I just wanna say,
Mr. Officer, sir,
that though reviled
by most people
in the Western hemisphere,
pineapple on pizza's
actually quite extraordinary
and though I'm incredibly
terrified right now,
I could really go
for a slice of pizza
from Little Luigi's
Hawaiian Pizza Parlor.
Well, I'm buying.
- It's nasty shit, man.
You don't put fruit on pizza.
You don't mix your
salt and your sweets.
That is nasty shit.
I told you.
Hi CQ, you wanted to see me?
- Hey, sorry I was
just moving some boxes
that should have been
outta my way, do you mind?
Oh sure. No problem.
- Don't hurt yourself.
- Oh, no worries.
My hands are not as
delicate as they seem.
I've taken some
kickboxing classes,
you know, for self defense.
- Excellent.
That's good to hear.
I just really wanted to tell you
that you have been
amazing today.
I would be remiss
if I didn't tell you
how wonderful you
are.
- Thanks.
- I assume Lacey has let
you in on our agreement?
- Yeah, well we talked
for a little bit, yeah.
- I would very much like to see
you working for me directly.
- See, that's the thing,
because I don't even
know what you do,
so working how?
- The three of us, strong
independent Latinas,
as the face of my company.
- You really believe that?
- I really do.
I sense a connection between us.
I'll go on a limb and
say that you feel it too.
I've seen you look at
me and I'm flattered.
- I don't know. I
mean, I feel it.
- I want you close
and near me, Emmy.
- I feel a surge of electricity
just to have you here.
I'm reminded of how
beautiful life can be.
How do you feel
being close to me?
- Strong.
Important.
Needed.
- I feel that way too.
What's wrong with wanting
to be close to someone
who wants to be near you too?
- Nothing at all, I guess.
- That's the best
answer you could have.

rooms, they look the same.

Hold on just a moment.
Lacey.
And now that we're all
here, we can have a chat.
- Yes.
- Emmy. We're starting
our own escort service.
You and Lacey will be
my number one girls.
What?
This is what it's
about, you're a madam?
- The investors downstairs
are ready to get in
on the ground floor.
- This is what it's about?
You're a madam?
- It's a growing market.
One which is self-sustaining
in this economy.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know the pitch.
But what about the
Latina cultural event
for like whatever fundraiser
you were talking about?
- We're doing that too.
- It's a two-for-one pitch.
- That's insane.
- It's business.
- Would I be working through

- Yes.
No more finding sad, desperate
businessmen on Craigslist.
That can be dangerous.
- Yeah. Tell me about it.
What about Annie?
I been with Annie all this time.
- We don't want
Annie, I want you.
I was being honest
before when I said
you would be a wonderful
addition to our portfolio.
- But I've been doing

- Annie, baby, tell your
girl to come over here
and stop playing
around with me, man.
I'm not gonna have
blue balls all week.
- Emmy, show Darryl you mean
no offense and treat him right.
- All right, okay.
Okay, all right.
Don't know, would
you get that for me?
Sure thing.
- Hi.
Yo.
What's up?
- Did you make the drop.
- Of course I made the drop.
So what
about the money?
- What money?
The 5Gs man.
- I didn't get any money.
You never said anything
about no money.
- Man, I told you to make
sure the drop was good
and make sure we all good.
- I made the drop. It was good.
- Man, it's not good if you
left with 5G's worth of drugs
and you came back with nothing.
What are you stupid
or something?
- Yo man, don't call me stupid.
I told you before, don't
call me stupid or I will.
You'll what?
- What you gonna do
with that big man?
- Oh my God Emmy,
no. Are you wrong?
Just grab it, just grab
it.
Hello, there's been a shooting.
Yeah, there's two of them,
their bleeding really badly.
We're at
4211 Bridgecross Drive.
Just please come.
Come on, Emmy. Come
on.
I'm sorry.
Emmy, we are not gonna
be paid for this.
Go, go, go, go, go,
go.
- Annie?
Oh my God, Annie, you're okay.
- Where am I? What happened?
- Annie, sweetie.
You're in the hospital.
- What? How?
- Okay, let me explain.
What's the last
thing you remember?
- We were in that guy's
basement having a good time.
Everything just
kind of went foggy.
- I know, that idiot
who owned the house.
He forgot to check the
carbon monoxide device.
- Wait, how did I?
- Get out?
I was outside having a smoke.
I know, I promised you I
would quit, but look, irony.
Uh huh.
- When I came back, you
were all passed the fuck out
and I had to carry you out,
I carried out that lazy
guy with a crazy eye,
and I even carried out that lady
who kept insisting that
the Beatles were overrated.
Trust me, that was
not an easy save.
- My God, stop.
- You're making me laugh.
- That's a good sign.
Well, then I called 9-1-1.
I saved the day.
I saved your life.
So now we're even for me ruining
your favorite blouse, okay?
- Emmy, oh my God,
you saved my life.
- You would've done
the same for me.
That's what I'm
supposed to say, right?
It's a good answer.
- Okay, now you get some rest.
I'm gonna go see the doctor
who was in here earlier.
- Can you get him to do
a strip tease for me?
You've got it.
Get some rest, okay?
- Yeah.
- I love you.
Love you too.
- Fun times.
Yeah.
- Thank you each
for making it today.
This success is proof of
our commitment to the cause.
I would like to thank
the Latinx cultural
community for making it.
- What the hell?
- Now to business.
We came here not only to attract
the greatest investors
to our company,
but to assure the greatest
investment to our cause.
America is under threat.
We are losing ourselves to the
threat of compromised morals,
to the corruption of souls,
as was foretold by our
creator in scripture.
Our rights, our beliefs, are
under attack by the giant,
unrelenting, corporate
mainstream media.
We must battle the
adversary not only at home,
but in the streets.
And to do this, we must
know that our cause is just,
that the good Lord will save us
from the evils that threaten.
Our schools have been taken over
by the corrupt agenda of the
corporate media, have they not?
An entire generation of
youth is being exposed,
being led astray to
sexual exploitation,
via movies, television,
video games.
This so-called entertainment
attacks the masculine
and feminine dynamics that
once held our country up.
Destroying the decency that
our fathers and mothers
attempted to distill
in us from birth.
But let me assure you,
our cause is just,
we will prevail.
We will cleanse the
streets of filth, of drugs,
of prostitution and all
manner of sexual perversions,
of the lawlessness
attempting to destroy
the fabric of this
beautiful country.
Our mission is to
purge the wickedness
that keeps this from being
the America it could be,
the America that I
wish to belong to,
and I know that you do too.
An investment in our company
is an investment
into this cause,
and to being able to reclaim,
as our forefathers wrote,
one nation under God.
- What the hell?
What is this business
that you are running here?
- Oh, I thought you knew by now.
But I'll let CQ fill
you in on that one.
- Our movement gains a foothold
against the powers
of sin every day,
but we will make them pay.
I need to
talk to you. Now.
- I'll speak with you
upstairs. We'll be along.
Thank you, you've done so much.
- What the hell?
What kind of business
are you running here?
- Before you go flying off
the handle hear me out.
Have a seat.
- This better be the
mother of explanations.
Maybe you can start with
the God bless America
crap out there.
- I am a business woman.
Right now the greatest
business in the world
is American fear.
- Fear?
Like immigrants are
taking over jobs fear?
Or like the government
is taking away our guns?
That kind of fear?
- I couldn't have
said it better myself.
- So now you're actually
agreeing with me?
- Emmy, if someone's
afraid of the dark,
I will sell them a flashlight.
And if they're afraid
of their neighbor,
I will sell them a shotgun.
- And if they're lonely, you
will sell them me or Lacey.
- You catch on quick.
- This is insane.
- No, it's business.
- How can I possibly
work for you
knowing that you're spewing
that vile religious zealotry?
- Who do you think
we were selling to?
Do you think all those men were
pro-gun, pro Jesus, pro baby?
- Weren't they?
- Only one gentleman,
the richest one was
there to buy my zealotry.
The others work within the
confines of the dark web.
- All of them were
crooks? All but one?
- They were there to
see whether the one
would buy our business, and
I'm happy to say that he did.
It's very much thanks
to you, in part.
- I can't believe my ears.
- Our startup money for
the escort service is set.
In fact, I owe it partly to you.
You really charmed him
and we don't overanalyze this.
We convinced one man to give
us money for our endeavor.
Why does that bother you?
- It bothers me because it's
this hateful. That's why.
- When it comes to money,
these people don't care
where it comes from
so long as it keeps pouring in.
I too am in the business
of money pouring in.
You should be too.
Look, I think we've said
what we need to say.
I'll give you some
time to think about it.
- Boy, I'd hate to
be you right now.
You've gotta make a
choice of a lifetime.
- You knew all this time,
you knew about this.
You didn't say a word. Why?
- It wasn't my place.
Look, there's so many
angles to this thing
and I can't explain them all.
You can try.
- I need a smoke.
Come on, join me.
Ironic isn't it, that
four of the five investors
are grateful for that one
hateful religious zealot
that wants to keep
America safe from, well,
Them?
- I can't wrap my head
around that whole thing.
Who was he?
- Oh, I can't tell you that.
That's privilege information.
But for arguments sake,
let's call him Mr. E.
- Mr. E, a mystery.
Are you serious.
- Sure.
Look at it this way,
everyone's happy,
including Mr. E.
Why can't you see what
we've accomplished here?
- And what is that exactly?
Because you convinced one
person to give you money
so you could convince
four other people
to give you more money.
It's all ill gotten gains.
- Yeah. What's the problem?
- You think you're
so clever, don't you?
But it's just a con job.
- It's not a con
job, it was a bluff,
one that's gonna
pay off really well.
Emmy let me ask you,
where do you live?
- Like, in the city?
- What country do you live in?
Obviously.
- It's not that
obvious to Mr. E.
He believes his America is gone.
We're selling his
America back to him.
- But that just means that
you're selling America
to the other four investors
and to everyone else.
You know, like the drugs, guns.
- They wouldn't be selling
it if no one was buying it.
In all aspects of
the business model,
we are providing
what the masses want.
- Oh yeah, all of a sudden
everyone has a
degree in business.
- Look, I know it's
a lot to take in,
but that's the
business we're in.
Maybe I'm not the right
person to explain this to you,
but do yourself a favor.
- What?
- Go and talk to CQ before
you make up your mind.
But know this, we can make
a lot of money together.
Questions?
Yeah.
Why me?
- Well, truthfully, I've had
my eye on you for some time.
- Me? Eyes on me?
- Well, truthfully,
we met some time ago,
though you might
not remember it.
You saved me.
So now, I did what?
- Three years ago,
downtown on New Year's Eve.
- Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Hey, why don't you sit down.
Are you okay?
- Later I found that some girl
saw that man put a
pill in my drink.
They called the cops.
It really was you that
saved me that night.
- I left before the cops arrived
because
I was 19 back then
and my fake ID was good
to fool bartenders,
but not the cops.
- After that, I had
to find out about you.
I found out about your
freelance business with Annie.
Followed you a bit.
I just had to know.
- I had no idea.
I always thought
about you, you know,
I was hoping you were all right.
- Allow me to show you how I am.
Come with me?
- Where are we going now?
You'll see.
You saved my life, there's
no doubt about that.
Here you go, Em.
- I'm the type of person
who rewards courage.
In today's male dominated
culture, that's not always easy.
I gotta admit that
I've been thinking about Annie
all day long, what she
means to me, our memories.
The good, the bad.
Even when I was alone, she
was always there for me.
How can I leave her now?
- I can't replace Annie.
No one can.
What I can do is present
you with an opportunity
to repay you for that night.
I can promise that I will
always treat you well.
Lacey can attest to that.
She ain't lying.
- Will you join us?
- All right.
I mean, but you should know
that I'm totally against lies
and deceit, so no more lies.
Annie it taught me that
a good, honest woman
is worth more than
wealth, power.
I won't sacrifice my,
our integrity ever.
What do you have
to say about that?
- Honest ladies of the night.
Sounds like a great angle,
don't you think, CQ?
- I'm not one to give up
an advantage in business,
this or any other,
but I'm capable of compromise.
- We're gonna rock this world.
- Yes, to opportunity.
- To integrity.
- To loyalty.
- And to making
tons of money. Yes.

- Tell me Marco, what
brings you to Los Angeles?
Business or pleasure?
- Oh darling, I'm make
it my personal business
to never mix business
and pleasure.
But since you asked,
I'm all about pleasure.
- That's probably the best
answer anyone has ever given me.
- Ooh, doll face. I'm all about
living life to the fullest.
- Well darling, you'll
