The Taste of Blood (2021) - full transcript

Everyone on this
earth has a purpose.

Also an opportunity to do good.

At least that's what
I've always believed.

It's not complicated.

You will live a good life and
you be kind to one another.

People shouldn't have to worry
about evil in this world,

it just brings about
unnecessary pain, torment,

suffering and tears.

Of course, there is
evil in this world,

and I've seen a small
measure of it myself

in the form of resentment,
vindictiveness, and spite,



but true evil,

I never expected to
actually meet it.

I mean really why would I?

Why would anyone?

No.

Around my neck.

No.

Around my neck.

No.

Three, two.

No.

Here, I'm counting
from ten okay?

No, just go five.

Nine, eight, seven.



Forget it, I'm not
having this conversation.

And they killed two guys

that were running a
sex slave operation.

No, not now.

Yeah but Ken
got passes in Disney World.

But there're
still some assholes

who's pushing drugs
to little kids.

Killed the man,
who poisoned his entire family.

They're out,
seeing a movie with Ken,

he's a nice guy,
very dependable.

Wife, and six kids, the
youngest three months old.

Have you seen this
young man before?

No, doesn't look familiar.

That's what
I used to think too,

but they're not,
they're anything but.

You can never be too
careful out here, sheriff.

You never know
what ne'er-do-well,

might be standing on that porch.

Telling you they're
not like other people.

Edna, Harley, Sheriff Fields.

What the hell
is going on here,

if it's not over
it'll never be over.

You gotta listen
to me. they killed people.

They're not just cannibals,

this is what people
don't understand.

I keep telling you, they're
not like other people.

But you got to listen
to me they killed people.

Edna, Harley, Sheriff Fields.

Come on, damn it, fuck it.

Fuck off.

Oh god.

Danny, how you doing?

I'm fine, how about you?

Not bad, not bad at all.

You look like shit.

Yeah, you've said
that before, thanks.

Here, have a seat.

Where?

Oh yeah,

Right there.

Nice place.

Oh, that's convenient.

Goes where I got to go.

Just suits me fine.

Hey, you want a coffee?

No, thanks, I've
had your coffee.

I got Scotch, you
want some of those?

For God's sake Nate,
it's 10 in the morning.

Suit yourself.

Still running around
chasing those serial killers?

I've been close.

I've been really, really close.

Yeah, it's like, how
the hell do you get by?

I'm a private
investigator, am I not?

It's enough?

Yeah, much business?

Cheating husbands
and wives mostly.

I don't even need a camera.

I just follow them along and
take pictures on my cell phone.

You wouldn't believe some
of these people, Christ

they don't even bother
to close the blinds.

Listen, I may have
something for you.

Like what?

You remember Spider
Evan's in vice?

Sure, what about him?

He's retiring, he's
starting up a security company

wants to hire former
cops, I thought of you.

No, no, sorry Dan
that's not for me.

I need to move on
whenever I get a lead.

For Christ sake Nate,
it's been over 20 years.

You've lost everything.

Your family, your job,

you've got to let
this nonsense go.

Dan, it's not nonsense.

I know what I know.

You realize that your
husband and wife cannibal team

were in their nineties
20 years ago, so what?

There were 110 years old now,

they're still running
around murdering people?

They're not just cannibals.

This is what people
don't understand.

They rejuvenate
by eating others.

With the Whalens,
when they disappeared,

they became younger,
transformed, and they were seen.

Not by anyone reliable

and a young couple running around
in the Whalen's sports car,

probably meant the young couple
stole the Whalen's sports car.

Maybe they even
killed the Whalens.

No, no way, not a chance.

God look, the evidence
never supported your claims.

Evidence, that's
bullshit, that's not true.

There was a newspaper,

and they said that my
account was credible.

They wrote an extensive
article, a big one.

The Richmond Rattler?

Not exactly the
Washington Post now, is it?

Okay let's suppose, you're
right about these people

and they were cannibals.

Don't you think time would
have taken care of them?

I mean, simple attrition.

I mean, come on
Nate, do the math.

I keep telling you they're
not like other people

because that's the thing they
don't age for Christ's sake.

Still got that old bird?

Wally, he died
over a year ago.

How old was he anyway?

I have no idea.

Really old, ancient.

Listen, do me a favor.

Give the job some
thought would ya?

There's more to life than just

running around the
country chasing ghosts.

Tea.

Thank you, dear.

Are you sure you don't want
something to eat with that?

No, I'm fine.

There's nothing like a hot
cup of tea on a cold day.

I could warm up some
croissants or tea biscuits.

No, thanks dear.

Okay, I'll be going then.

Bye dear.

You haven't been
eating much lately,

you got to keep
up your strength.

Oh, Harley you fuss too much.

You know I can't help it.

I worry sometimes.

What'd you look at that.

What is it Harley.

It's an article about
this John X. Smith guy.

What about him?

Says here he's gone missing.

Oh, that's all.

It's stupid, it's ridiculous.

If you asked someone where
they're going, nobody ever says,

oh, I think I'll go missing.

That bothers you, does it?

Yes.

A lot of things seem to
bother you these days.

That is true.

Does it bother you
as much as clowns?

Oh Edna, there's
no comparison.

You know how much I hate clowns,

they are just plain creepy.

What about mimes?

Don't even get
me started on them.

Then there are those Morris
dancers you like so much.

Grown men dancing around
with bells on their legs

waving hankies.

Yes, I've got you.

We're going north, buddy.

Get over here now,
something big has happened,

now right now, unbelievable.

Finally.

Danny, get in here.

Hey.

Hey, have a seat.

Thanks.

Wait 'til you hear this.

Local con man disappears,

foul play suspected,
John X. Smith.

He was running a Ponzi
scheme targeting the elderly

John X. Smith, right?

Like that's his
real goddamn name.

Ponzi scheme.

Yeah, got millions
from those people.

I'm sure a lot of people
would like to see this guy dead.

Not just the old people he
conned but their families too.

But they wouldn't
actually do it.

His car was gone and
forensics only found

a trace of blood at the scene.

Now you and I both know that
people who kill out of anger,

they're not that organized.

No car, no body.

I mean, maybe he
faked his own murder.

I mean, he wouldn't
be the first one.

No, it's them.

I know it is.

So dig this.

They don't just kill anybody.

They only kill people
that have done bad things.

So a picky eaters.

They're not your garden
variety serial killers.

Like there is such a thing.

Well, they work as a team

that's the first thing.

Okay hold on.

There've been a lot of
murderers working as teams

over the years.

I mean, Florida,
back in the eighties,

Ottis Toole, and
Henry Lee Lucas,

some people estimate as
many as a hundred deaths.

Yeah, I know all that crap.

California same time period.

Charles Ng and Leonard
Lake, 25 people.

These people are different.

Oh, okay you wanna talk nuts.

There was that guy in California
I forget how many murders

but he said that the killings
were some form of necessary

evil, like a kind
of human sacrifice

that would prevent earthquakes.

I mean what a wacko.

No, no, no, Danny, you got
to wrap your head around this.

They're not like anybody else.

Just look, look where
I've tracked them.

Okay, pay attention?

New Orleans, a
bed and breakfast.

They killed a man who murdered
his wife for her money.

Then over to San Francisco,

they owned an art
gallery and killed a man

who was moving drugs
inside of antiquities.

Boulder, they had a small
cafe and they killed two guys

that were running a
sex slave operation.

And off to Savannah, and
there they had a candy shop

where they killed some asshole who
was pushing drugs to little kids.

And up to Chicago, they
ran a nursery school

and they killed a man who
was planning on killing

his own kid for the insurance.

And then Boston, you're
gonna love this one,

a funeral parlor.

Well, that's appropriate
kind of a make work project.

Well, that's appropriate
kind of a make work project.

Right, they killed a man who
poisoned his entire family,

wife and six kids the
youngest was three months old.

Look, I'm gonna say
something that no former cop

should ever say.

Sounds like these two were
doing the world a favor.

They're murderers
and cannibals.

Your Jeffrey Dahmer type, huh?

No, they need to eat
human flesh to stop aging.

And you really believe this?

Of course I believe this.

Look at this dump.

You ever consider
back on your meds?

I've never been on meds.

Ever considered getting meds?

Fuck you, I'm not crazy,

but I know who they are,
and I know what they do,

and I'm gonna prove it.

Okay, okay, I believe you.

Thanks Danny.

Just shut up.

And the old ones.

Shut up.

God knows what they must think.

Shut up and leave me alone.

Well, it wouldn't hurt you
to help out a little bit.

Not leave all the work to me.

Doris, please
come and sit down.

What is it Doris, you sounded
really upset on the phone.

It's Teddy.

Oh yes, I hear he's
home again, how is he?

We had a terrible
argument last night.

Teddy, Teddy...

Teddy, it's almost
3:00 PM honey.

I wanted to let you sleep,
but I need your help.

Just leave me alone.

Come on, I made your favorite
banana pancakes and bacon.

Just don't bug me.

Come on don't be like this.

I need you to get up.

I've got the carpet
cleaners coming in an hour

and I need someone to help
me move the heavy furniture.

Then don't move it.

What am I your fucking slave.

Don't talk to me like that.

Then fuck off.

Just fuck off you old bitch,

and leave me the hell alone.

You know how hard I've
worked with that boy?

I do indeed.

The therapists,
psychiatrists, psychologists,

social worker, that special
camp for problem children.

Yes, I remember.

I even sent him to private
school for two years.

I couldn't afford it,

but they said they'd had
success with kids like Teddy.

Doris, everyone knows
you've done everything

humanly possible for that boy.

No, they don't.

They think it's my fault.

They think it's
always the mother.

That I didn't raise him
right but I did, I did.

I know, I know.

Well, they don't, I can tell.

I see the way they look at me.

Half pity, half superiority.

Well now.

Well they do, they're damn
perfect bloody children.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's all right.

But it's true.

I mean, Jamie got
into law school,

and Diane was valedictorian.

Brett had a football
scholarship.

And I have to get their
damn Christmas letters

every year with
the minute details

of their perfect children's
perfect lives,

makes me wanna scream.

I can see how that would
be very annoying for you,

but Doris it's a long
ways away from Christmas.

So how would you tell me
why you're here today?

Oh dear, have you
spoken to him about this?

No, not yet.

I was just so shocked
and disappointed.

He told me he was off drugs,

that he just wanted to come
home and help me with the motel.

I don't know what possessed
me to believe him.

Would you like me
to speak with him?

I mean, I've known Teddy
since he was little.

He was the cutest
sweetest little boy.

I remember he used
to work those big,

beautiful, blue eyes of his,

perhaps I can speak with
him about addiction.

No, you can't.

Why not?

Because he's gone
again, just took off.

Didn't even pack his
things, he just left.

I don't know why I'm surprised.

It's his nature after all.

Just fuck off you old bitch,

and leave me the hell alone.

Is Hope still here.

No, she left
early for work, why?

I don't know.

I don't know what to
think about that girl.

These damn socks,

they have those little knots,

always end up
pinching my baby toes.

You've barely eaten, what is it?

It's not like it was.

What on earth is?

I mean, it doesn't
work like it used to.

You have to give it time.

Honey it's like medicine,

you have to give it time
to feel the benefits.

Not anymore,
something's changed.

Now you're just being silly.

Nope, I can't do
it anymore Harley.

Of course you can.

No, no, I can
feel it in my bones.

Oh, Edna.

Hi.

Hi.

Can I help you with anything?

Oh no, no, no, no, no.

It's Hope right?

Yes.

I heard you're
staying at the inn.

Yes.

Well, I can walk you home
when you get off work, you know,

just for safety sake the
nights are really dark.

Sure.

Okay, great, great, great.

I'll come pick you up
when you get off work.

What time?

Nine.

Nine, okay nine it is.

I'll be back.

Hey.

Hey.

Wanna go?

You look nice tonight?

Thank you.

How was work?

Good.

Nice, nice.

Oh hey, wait up.

Thank you, goodnight.

Wait.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

What is that crap anyway.

It's Greek yogurt, walnuts
and some blueberries.

That's it, that's your dinner.

Yes, I like it.

Well, the rest of us
had Brussels sprouts,

mashed potatoes,
roast and gravy.

Good for you.

Don't you ever miss it?

No.

Damn Hope you're
gonna turn into

one of those freaking vegans.

So what if I do?

Well it's not exactly the
tradition around here now is it?

I don't care.

Well, you should.

And what's with all
this new religious crap?

I know you've been sneaking
off to that church.

So it makes me feel better.

How, do you go
there to confess?

You think it frees
you from your past?

Good luck.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.

Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven.

Hey, here you are.

Thank you, Jacob.

How's it going?

Jacob.

Hey, Jacob how are you?

Fine, fine.

I haven't seen you in ages.

How are your courses going?

Okay, yeah.

Art history, right?

Yeah, yeah.

And you're still
enjoying them.

Yeah.

So how are your parents?

Okay.

And your sister how's she?

Okay.

And your little brother Tommy?

He's okay.

Jacob and I went
all through elementary

and high school together.

OMG, we even went to
nursery school together too.

We were probably even
potty trained together.

Well, I...

You may as well take
off, I can lock up.

♪ You pick me up
and walk me home ♪

♪ And take me by the hand

♪ My heart it beats
a little faster ♪

♪ I don't want
this night to end ♪

♪ We walk along these
lonely streets ♪

♪ But my heart is
filled with love ♪

♪ You kiss my lips
and dance with me ♪

♪ In this moment
there's only us ♪

♪ This is a dawn of love

♪ I don't want
this night to end ♪

♪ Come and take my hand

♪ Please don't ever let it go

♪ This love is us

Hope I wasn't expecting you.

I know, is that okay?

Yeah, I'm happy to see you.

Come in, sit down.

Thank you.

So my dear, what
brings you in today?

I'm not sure.

That's okay, you don't
need a definite reason.

Some people that find
themselves in a crisis

just need to
unburden themselves.

Some come looking for guidance

and others just need an
impartial ear to listen,

until they can figure
it out themselves.

So Hope, you're new to town?

Have you been able
to make some friends?

Well, I have one friend,
but I'm a little confused.

About?

My feelings.

Go on.

He's really nice.

He's kind, and sweet,
and funny, and-

- Cute?

Is he cute?

Yeah, I guess so.

You really like this boy.

Yes.

That's great,
I'm glad for you.

But it makes me nervous.

I'm always afraid
something will go wrong.

Hope that's only human nature.

We're all worried to lose
someone that we love.

I didn't say that.

You didn't have to.

Just try and relax and let
things play out naturally.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm worried
about Hope, Harley.

Why is that?

There's a boy, she's been
sneaking him into the inn.

I know that, nothing
happens around here

that I don't know about.

Every night for
the last two weeks.

Well, doesn't it worry you?

Why?

Sex?

You think they're having sex?

I don't know, probably.

I certainly hope so.

Otherwise there's
something wrong with them.

Do you remember us at their age?

We could barely keep our
hands off of each other.

Oh Harley.

And as I remember it, you
were magically beautiful.

Harley, you're such a softy.

No, this isn't about
them having sex.

That's not what worries me.

What then?

The talking
Harley, the talking.

Yeah, I had to
take a motel room

too bloody cold to
stay in the trailer.

Remind me never
to move to Canada.

No, nothing yet.

And I just, everyone, I
talk to says the same stuff.

I know, that Smith
was a slimy bastard,

and if he was dead
good riddance.

No, you know the usual.

Oh, it's such a peaceful,
nice little town,

nothing bad ever happens
here, yada, yada yada.

Yeah.

Right, okay, I'll let you know.

Hi.

Hello, I brought you some
towels and toiletry items.

We don't get many visitors
during the winter months.

I'm just glad you were open.

Well, I think there
should always be some place

for people to stay
this time of year.

I mean, the inn
closes completely

and there isn't another
place for 30 miles.

The inn?

Yes, it's a lovely place.

Big stone mansion
at the edge of town.

The owners used to have a
farmer act as caretaker.

Was his off season after all,

but he fell last summer
and broke his leg and yeah,

he had to give it up.

It's too bad.

They have an older
couple staying there now,

you know, just to keep
an eye on the place.

People from town?

No, I don't know them
they're not from around here.

Well, there's also a young
woman staying there as well.

I understand, enjoy your stay.

Great, thank you very much.

God damn.

Jesus Christ it's him,
it's fucking really him.

Jesus.

Miss, miss, hold on.

I got to talk to you
it's really important.

Who are you?

My name's Nate, I'm
a private investigator.

Look, the people
you're staying with

are not who you think they are,

you're actually in a
great deal of danger.

Leave me alone.

I know you think,
they're a sweet old couple

and that's what I
used to think too,

but they're not
doing anything, but-

- Go away you creep.

But you gotta listen
to me they kill people.

Come anywhere near me
again and I'll call the cops.

But it's true.

You're crazy.

Oh shit

she's right, I do sound crazy.

Hope my goodness what is it?

Please I just need
someone to talk to.

Has something happened?

No, I'm just upset.

I don't know what to do.

Okay, okay.

Just try and calm down okay,

and tell me everything.

Okay.

Is it wrong not to warn
someone of a possible danger?

Someone who's been kind to you?

What do you mean?

What kind of danger?

Is someone planning
to hurt someone?

No, not like that.

The authorities are
after this person.

Oh, your young man has
got himself into trouble?

No, not him,

But if I warn this person,
everything will change.

All of our lives will change
just when I'm finally happy.

I see.

If your conscience demands,
then tell this person,

but Hope you are not
obligated to do so, okay?

If they've broken the law,

then he or she is
responsible for the outcome,

not you, understand me.

Okay.

Okay.

Breathe.

Danny, I saw 'em.

Harley Whalen in the flesh.

What about the old lady?

No, not her, not yet.

You got to get up here
fast I need your help.

Okay, I'll be
there as soon as I can,

but don't do anything
until I get there okay?

All right, all right.

Promise?

Yeah, but I saw the girl.

What girl?

They got a girl
living with them.

Damn it Nate,
what are you thinking?

Why didn't you just wait?

Somebody had to warn her
and that somebody is me.

Just stay put
until I get there okay, shit.

All right Danny, hurry up.

Come on you fucker,
what the fuck?

Come on.

Come on you...

Finally.

You're not normal.

You don't fit in and do you?

You don't have time
for me anymore?

It used to be just you and me,

now there's this boyfriend.

Don't you care about me anymore?

And what's with all
this religious crap?

Are you confessing?

How could you?

You think that will save you?

Fat chance, nothing
can save you.

You deserve what
you've got coming.

Traitor, traitor, traitor.

Hey, hey, hey, what is it,
what is it, are you okay?

Nothing, it's nothing,

I just had a really bad day.

What happened,
you can talk to me.

Oh Jacob.

Happy birthday.

Jacob, it's not my birthday.

I know, I just thought I'd take
a chance, it could have been.

What did you do?

I didn't know what you like
so I bought a few things

I just didn't expect
you to be so sad.

Maybe I can help.

Call Nate.

This is Nathan
Field, please leave a message

and I'll get back to
you as soon as possible.

Pickup for Christ's sake Nate,

just call me would you?

What is it Harley?

Oh it's nothing.

Seems like something to me.

Someone's got you're
squirming around like that.

I think it's toilet paper.

They just don't make it
the way they used to.

How so?

Well, it's not the same.

It makes me all itchy
and uncomfortable.

Haven't you noticed?

I can't say that I have.

It's like it
crumbles and it's like,

it leaves crumbs behind,
it's miserable stuff.

Anything else you'd like
to get off your chest Harley?

Anything particularly
bother you?

Toenails.

What's wrong with toenails?

Two things actually.

They grow too fast and
they're hard to get to,

a body can't keep up.

I see.

Howsomeever, it's over Harley.

No, don't say that.

I know it.

I can feel it, but not for you.

You're not done yet, I can tell.

Oh Edna, I can't
go on without you.

You've got to
have hope, Harley.

No, no I can't.

Yes you can.

You've got to carry on.

We all do what we have to do.

I'm awfully tired, Harley.

Do you think you could
help me get upstairs?

Oh, of course dear.

I think I'd like
to rest a while?

Maybe just sit in my
chair by the window.

Sure, come on.

You better let me carry you.

That's just what you need.

I'll get you into something
warm and cozy, a good rest

and you'll be feeling
right as rain.

I must admit I had a
soft spot for this girl.

Maybe it's because so
many of our young people

had drifted away.

She seemed so lost
and vulnerable.

She had this innocence about her

that made me want to comfort
her and reassure her that,

whatever her problem,
everything would be all right.

Hope, come in.

Are you feeling better today?

I suppose so.

So have you come to a decision

about your dilemma?

Yes.

It is a terrible
situation to be in,

to have to betray the
trust of a loved one.

But remember you did
not create the situation

that put this
person in jeopardy,

they did that to themselves.

So may I ask, have you
decided to warn this person

about the authorities,
I'm assuming the police?

Yes, yes I have.

Oh, you have.

You don't approve.

It was your decision to
make I am not here to judge.

Really?

'Cause the church is
kind of famous for that.

Hope.

Isn't it judgment and then
guilt, lots and lots of guilt.

What an earth has
gotten into you?

The church judges people
for every little thing

that goes on in their lives,

and then shovels on
the guilt, heaps of it.

Hope please.

And the sins, lots
and lots of sins.

Some of them are even
considered deadly,

even gluttony for fucks sake

like you've never
overeaten on occasion.

You're out of line Hope.

I know what the church
thinks about people who steal,

and covet, and blaspheme.

And I know what
the church thinks

about people who kill people.

For God's sake.

So what would the church think

about people who kill
people and then eat them.

Live by the cross,
die by the cross.

Isn't that what they
say church lady?

Close enough.

Oh, and by the
way, I'm not Hope.

Hey.

Hi.

I really enjoyed
seeing you last night.

You did?

Yeah, you wanna go
for a walk or something?

Sure, I'd like that.

Yeah I know,
kinda tough trail.

So, have you ever
seen the chapel?

No, I've always been curious
about it though it's funny.

Lived here all my
life never seen it.

Well, I guess it's
time then, isn't it?

It's like a jail cell.

Exactly.

Oh, it's beautiful.

I love the stained
glass windows.

That's the coronation
when Jesus crowns Mary,

makes her queen of heaven and...

Oh yeah, that's
the annunciation.

That's when the Angel
Gabriel tells the Virgin Mary

that she going to
conceive the Christ child,

and that one, that one depicts
the agony in the garden.

It's when Jesus realizes
he's gonna be betrayed.

You suppose I could take a
couple pictures just for class

and oh, what a beautiful altar.

- Here again?
- What's the problem?

I'd like a little
time to myself is all,

is a little privacy
too much to ask?

Privacy?

Come on, you know you can
never hide anything from me.

I'm not hiding anything.

You sure?

What do you mean by that?

What do you mean by that?

I know you plan on
ratting out the old ones.

Imagine that after all
they've done for us.

I would never.

Don't bother
pretending otherwise.

You didn't really think I'd let
that go unpunished, did you?

By the way, I met
your little boyfriend.

By the way, I met
your little boyfriend.

When?

Today here, he
came looking for you.

He was very sweet really,
incredibly innocent and trusting.

Yeah, I took him
to see the chapel.

He thought it was beautiful.

Kept going on and on
about the stained glass

and religious symbolism,

the nativity scene,
and the resurrection,

and that one panel where
Jesus meets his mother

while he's carrying
the cross, so sad.

I think your little boyfriend
was genuinely moved,

but he found the altar
particularly interesting.

No

No, no.

It never would
have worked you know.

Imagine what your little
Romeo would have thought

when he found out
what you really are.

It was amusing though.

You thinking you're some
kind of modern day Juliet.

You deserve this Hope Bertha.

Joy Beulah Whalen, you bitch.

I loved him.

I got you now,

feeding time's over,

oh yeah, time's up old timer.

I've found you, you fuck.

Okay kiddies,
it's dinner time.

You can wander the
grounds if you like,

but the inn's
closed for the season.

There's no room or food, if
that's what you're after.

I just wanted to
take a look around.

I heard a lot about the inn.

You

We never had a moment of peace

because of you, always running.

And my Edna

I'll kill you.

You son of a bitch.

No.

I didn't mean for this to
happen it's not my fault,

it was an accident,
he attacked to me.

No.

Look, you're lucky
I came when I did.

You don't understand.

He was probably
planning to kill you

because that's what he does.

He was my father.

Hey Lucy.

Hi Frank

How are you doing?

Good, how are you?

Good, hungry.

Hungry?

What are you thinking?

Well, what am I
gonna do first is,

put my feet up, crack a few
beers and watch the game.

Sounds good.

'Cause I've actually
got money riding on it.

Oh my, isn't that illegal.

Shh, don't tell anyone.

Well, I am all in of those
meals that you really like,

but I do have pizza in
the cooler over there.

No, you don't have
any of the frozen ones?

Unfortunately no, I'm
sorry, it sold out earlier.

All right.

Wine, pizza's always good.

Yes it is pizza and beer.

Pizza and beer.

You can't have
pizza without beer.

There's some in the bottom
of the cooler over there.

How's that a wife of yours.

She's good, and I'm happy now.

Nice.

Speaking of wife, you
know how much she loves

these peanut butter things.

Sounds good, I'll take two.

All right, I got two here.

One of those.

Gonna get fat over here.

So how's your shift
going are you done?

Yep, you bet and
I'm heading home.

That's what the beers are for.

You have a good night?

Yeah, it's been busy.

Like I said, we
sold out earlier.

So can't complain,
there you go, sir.

Right on sweetie okay,

George better watch out
that I don't steal you away.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, I forgot to ring you up.

I'll catch you tomorrow.

Yeah, I know where you live.

Frank here.

Hi Frank, I need
you to check something out

I just got a call
from a cop no less.

You're kidding.

The guy's really upset.

He can't reach his friend,
name is Nate Field.

I was just heading home.

He's staying out at the motel.

Can you just stop by?

Okay, okay, I'll check it out.

Everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

No rest for the wicked.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Drive safe.

Thank you.

My word, Frank, what
are you doing out there?

I'm looking for a
man named Nate Field,

he took a room here, right?

Yes, he's down at number
four is something wrong?

Nah, you know how it is?

A friend of his wasn't
able to reach him

and started to worry.

His cell probably
died or something.

Actually, I haven't seen
him since he got here.

He was asking about the inn
though, if that's any help.

Good, thanks Doris.

Okay.

They said you'd help me,
that if I was good and prayed,

you'd show me a way out.

And I did, I prayed all the
time, but you didn't help me.

And now I've lost everyone.

I thought you could
save me, but it's true,

nothing can save me.

Police, I need to
speak with someone.

Hello, anyone?

Hello?

Hello, anyone?

Call Stone Town Police.

Stone Town Police Department.

Yeah, hi it's Dan Davis.

It's been three hours any word?

We sent a car out Mr. Davis,

but the officer hasn't
called back in yet.

you send someone else.

There are only
three of us. Mr. Davis.

It's just a small town.

Fuck.

I'm looking for a friend
of mine, Nate Field,

he was staying here.

Oh yes, there was a policemen
from town here earlier

asking about him.

Oh good.

I told Frank that your
friend seemed interested

in the old inn, so I think
he was heading over there.

Thanks, whereabouts
would I go?

Oh, just down the
hill, turn right,

follow the road right
along the river,

you can't miss it, it's big
iron gates at the entrance.

Big help, thanks very much.
