Castle Rock (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 9 - Caveat Emptor - full transcript
Ace and his army continue their search for their "angel" as Castle Rock falls to darkness. Annie and the others desperately try to survive and understand the nature of how to save themselves and their town.
Warden Lacy had locked
the devil in a box
to put an end to all
the horrors we've seen.
The stain,
the curse on our town.
That's what God told me.
I'm just passing through.
Your ad said you needed
temp RNs.
- You on any medications?
- No.
- What's happening?
- We're getting out.
- Just hang on to me.
- Don't make a sound.
Joy?
‐ Although he had no children
of his own,
Pop raised Chris and John.
Everything you fucking have
I gave you.
‐ You gave me shit.
I took what I deserve.
Remember, Sergeant Major?
‐ You'd be wise not
to bring that up again.
You told Nadia?
‐ Nadia!
She figured it out on her own.
Well, now she won't talk
to me either.
Is there anything
you can't fuck up?
‐ She's awake.
Are you feeling better?
‐ Much.
‐ Your vessel was blind, yes?
‐ So I gather.
Well, then...
to whatever part of her is left,
a gift.
Now I need something in return.
‐ I need a memory of hers.
Your husband kept
a man in a cage‐‐
a secret cage beneath
the prison.
But I don't think
it was just a man.
I think it was an angel.
‐ Our angel?
‐
Oh, Papa!
‐ No, no, no, no!
‐ I need to know if it was him
and where our angel is now.
‐ I only know that
the warden recorded in detail
every struggle in letters
which he sent to his friend,
Sheriff Pangborn.
‐ And these letters,
where are they now?
‐ In possession
of the collector,
the one who takes
cast‐off things.
‐ Pop Merrill?
‐ Yes.
‐
Where's Abdi?
‐ Abdi...
Abdi...
Nadia!
Nadia!
Stop!
No, please listen!
Please, please, please,
wait, wait, wait!
Wait, I'm not one of them, okay?
I saw your truck! It's not safe!
You got to get out of here!
But they're coming!
They're right down the road,
and they're killing everyone
who's left!
‐ In the truck, now.
Get in!
Go, Pop!
‐ Fuck!
Shit! CHANCE: It's them!
‐ Get down! Get down!
‐ Stay down!
Fuck!
Move!
Abdi!
‐ I saw Pop's truck.
I thought maybe‐‐
‐
‐ Come on! Come on!
Why are they trying to kill us?
‐ Let's live long enough
to talk it out.
When Pangborn got
butchered by his wife,
I bought his trailer
and everything inside it.
‐ The old sheriff? ‐ Yeah.
He had these letters
from Warden Lacy.
‐ And now they're both dead.
‐ Yeah.
Dale was kind of
our town historian.
He‐‐he‐‐he always used to say
he was in
the remembering business
when everyone else's
stock‐in‐trade was forgetting.
He also said the ones that
first settled this place,
the ones that died
in that first bad winter
and disappeared‐‐poof‐‐
no bones even,
Dale said he knew
where they went.
Nowhere.
He said that they never
really left.
I didn't know what
he meant by that.
I‐I didn't know what
he meant by that.
I didn't want to know.
And now...
Now I know.
Goddamn generator.
Why didn't we hear the sound?
Why aren't we hypnotized?
‐ Pop? POP: I don't know.
No fucking clue.
This is insane, Pop.
We don't know how many of
them are roaming the streets.
This is the safest place
if we keep it safe.
So we need a perimeter.
‐ That's a lot of bombs.
I figured somebody would
be coming for me someday‐‐
either the police
or something else.
Take these downstairs.
Put them by the doors
and the windows.
Daisy‐chain them together.
Be careful.
‐
Hey.
Hey.
‐ Oh, shit. Fucking wire.
‐ How is any of this possible?
‐
I‐I wanted‐‐
I wanted none of this for you.
I brought you to a bad place.
‐ Whatever's happening here‐‐.
Door C.
‐ There's someone down
in the basement.
Door C. Door C.
‐ Basement.
End of the hallway.
Hands up! Up, up, up, up, up!
‐ ‐ Anne?
‐
The streets are teeming
with these people.
There's no way you got in here
unless they wanted you to.
Why don't you stop
wasting my time?
The bad guys are out there!
They have Joy!
Funny thing about bad guys
is they look just like you and me.
‐ I knew you were after
my daughter
the minute I laid eyes on you.
Why don't you ask if this one
is the real deal, huh?
- How about that?
- Mr. Merrill.
Anne‐‐she helped us
make it here.
Shut up. You were at Marsten.
‐ I already told you I was.
How'd you get out?
‐ I killed some people.
‐ How did you get
all the way over here?
‐ I killed some more people.
Dr. H., I don't like this.
‐ Evelyn, we have to be sure.
‐ They've got my daughter,
and I'm‐‐I'm getting her back.
That's why I'm here.
So hand me a gun,
and I'll be on my way!
I don't care who they are!
I don't care why they're doing
whatever crazy thing it is
that they're doing!
‐ Let's use the Army manual.
‐ Go slow. Take your time.
‐ I was at the Mellow Tiger,
and all of a sudden,
everyone turned their heads
at once,
like, as if they heard a sound,
but I didn't hear anything.
‐ Two people,
a‐a man and a woman,
they just‐‐they started
shooting people.
All the ones that didn't
walk off after the statue.
‐ And then we found each other.
‐ Who? ‐ Evelyn and Ingalls...
the nurse.
‐ Did you hear
that fucking sound?
No.
My girl...
Joy‐‐she did.
And she fell in line.
So, like I said, can I‐‐
‐ Hold on.
‐ What, you don't trust me?
How about I don't trust you?
All of this is down
to your blood!
Your cock‐a‐doodie nephew!
I did kill him.
‐ What? ‐ Just like you thought.
And I dumped him
in the wrong dang place.
The wrongest place. ‐ Where?
‐ That construction site.
‐ Near Marsten?
‐ It's what's‐‐
what's underneath.
‐ What's underneath?
‐ Tunnels!
‐ Draw it.
At first, I thought
it was just my brain
shorting out on me,
but it was real!
‐ You think she's one of them?
‐ I think she's bipolar,
for starters.
But, no, I don't.
‐ What happened to your earring?
Come on, J, you hooked me up
to chemo how many times?
We're practically coworkers.
You had a diamond stud
in your ear three days ago.
Today...
there's not even a dent
in your earlobe.
It's all...
Healed up.
What I'm trying to figure out
is why they'd sneak you in here.
Why didn't they just
storm the place?
‐
‐ And this drug, Haldol‐‐
you're saying
it flips them back?
‐ Yeah, but only for a time.
I saw it work on Chris.
He became himself again
after every injection...
Until it wore off.
- How much drug do we have?
- Enough.
I think if we
give him the full four mil,
we'll talk to the Jamal we know.
Then what?
Then he tells us how we
can stop them‐‐
their weaknesses,
how we fucking kill them?
‐ They still have the memories
of the other one.
Chris did.
‐ Prisoner in your own body?
‐ He's awake.
‐ You tried to kill him. Why?
Jamal will tell us.
He knows what you know.
Let him, then.
It's over.
Tomorrow at dusk, she returns.
‐ He's a friend. I don't understand
how‐‐how someone could just‐‐
‐ It's not his fault.
It's not even him.
‐ Okay, well, I just‐‐
I don't understand any of this.
‐ 400 years
she's been gathering speed,
heading for this place
at this time,
and you think you can stop her?
‐ You know what I think?
I think there's a reason
your boss sent
an assassin to kill me instead
of breaking down the door.
‐ Oh. Oh, Jesus.
I think you need something.
That's what I think.
Something that only I have.
Huh?
‐ He's here.
Pop.
Pop Merrill, come back.
Come back, Pop.
Let's make a deal.
‐ So you want to discuss
the terms of your surrender?
You caught me at a good time.
Shoot.
Uh... ‐ Oh, Jesus.
Oh, God. ‐ Shh!
‐ Delusions...
normal for a man
in your advanced age.
Whoever you are,
I'm guessing your age is a lot
more advanced than mine.
You're smarter than I thought.
We've got a lot to talk about.
We sure do.
What do I call you, new guy?
‐ My name is Augustin.
Well, Augustin,
I've been catching up
on some old correspondence
from Dale Lacy.
Remember him?
That's why you're here, right?
You need to know what he knew.
‐ So you want to hear my offer?
You give me
the warden's letters,
I'll let Nadia and Abdi go,
along with whoever else
you've got in there.
Or...
we could do this another way.
Decided how many people
you want to see die tonight?
‐ We're not the ones
who'll be dying.
I got bombs on every door
and window.
We have 55 minutes.
- It's the only way out.
- Pop...
Just need extra time.
Let's make a deal. ‐ Really?
You're gonna let them go?
Why? You're killing everyone
else left in Castle Rock?
Pop.
Pop Merrill, come back.
‐ Okay, so we're
fucking surrounded.
‐ Yeah, we have a plan.
Okay.
We need to find a way out
before they find a way in.
And how are we supposed
to do that?
The train.
‐ It's gonna be
the Maine/Boston.
‐ That train's a mile long
and always on time.
‐ We're gonna jump on
to a train?
‐ In front of a train.
‐ Oh, okay.
It was a game we played as kids.
Hurry! Before he sees us!
Come on!
‐ Hurry up! He's coming!
Come on, Nadia!
- Go, go, go, go!
- Nadia, hurry!
Mostly to get away from Ace.
How's that for a fucking
cosmic joke?
‐ It cuts the town in half.
You can't get across
for half an hour.
We get on the other side,
they won't catch us.
‐ I don't know
if I can make it, Nad.
‐ No man left behind, right?
Generator, fuck.
‐ I'm on it. ‐ No, I'll do it.
‐ You shouldn't go alone.
Keep up.
It's just down here.
‐
Where's Anne?
‐ I need to know where they've
got my daughter in that house‐‐
what room, et cetera,
and any other little details
you can help me out with.
‐ And why would I ever tell you
any of that?
‐
Maybe you wouldn't.
But I have put down quite
a few of your brothers
and sisters tonight,
so maybe that carries
some weight.
You folks have some experience
with pain.
Is that right?
Annie...
find her.
‐ So do I.
What I can't get
my kadooza around
is why they're keeping
you alive.
Maybe they're still living in
a world where reasonable people
can come to an arrangement.
I would love that.
I'm as reasonable as they come.
But...
I have spent some time
in that house of yours.
And sorry.
You folks don't seem
very reasonable at all.
‐ Do you really think
she's better off with you?
You see, I knew what he knew‐‐
Jamal‐‐
and I remember the hallway.
Anne?
What are you doing?
Even if you find her,
after what we've done to her,
she'll never be the same.
A good mother
would never let this happen.
‐ You'll look into those eyes,
and you won't know
who's looking back.
‐
‐ You killed him!
He was meant to help us!
Do you never think, Anne?
‐ Pop.
Pop...
‐
I thought we'd be killing
each other by now,
like civilized human beings.
‐ Well, I know how much
you love a deal.
I thought I'd try you
one last time.
Your bombs will slow us down.
They'll slow us down,
but they won't stop us.
I prefer a softer landing,
though.
I bet you do, too.
‐ No, I don't do deals
with walking fucking corpses.
‐ Which is funny,
coming from a walking corpse.
‐ You know the difference
between me and you, Gus?
You're a hitchhiker
in borrowed clothing,
and I know who I fucking am.
‐ Pop...
You don't at all.
That's why you're always
looking for a trade.
You are remarkably empty
of purpose...
Of destiny.
That's why your life
is gonna end here
in this tower of garbage,
this castle of shit.
All these little...
insignificant trades
adding up to a tomb of trash.
See, I know everything he knew.
‐ Who? ‐ Your nephew.
Then you're a fucking moron.
‐ I remember what he felt.
You know what he felt for you?
Love.
To think,
underneath it all,
that angry little boy...
he loved you.
You.
But...
you hit him...
a lot...
when he was small.
A lot.
Well, he was bad a lot.
From the jump, like his dad.
In my house, you pay your debts.
He knew the rules.
‐ It's extraordinary.
No children of your own,
but ruined four kids anyway.
To start with nothing
and somehow end up
with less than nothing...
That takes a real businessman.
I've been trying to understand
what could be so important
in these here letters.
And I don't know much
about your kind,
but I think I can guess.
The way I figure,
you're trying to understand
who the fuck Lacy had in that
cage and where he is now.
Well, you're not gonna find out,
'cause I burned
your fucking letters.
‐ I don't care about
the letters, Pop.
I have you.
You read them,
so I'll take you instead.
I'll make you one of us, Pop,
and you'll tell me everything.
Pop.
Pop.
Don't let him get
into your head.
‐
That part about...
me fucking up all four of you...
‐ Pop, it's‐‐it's too late
for this shit.
‐ Be honest.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Yeah, what?
‐ Yeah, you fucked us up.
I mean, you want me to lie?
‐ I fed you.
I protected you.
I taught you.
Even when my life was shit,
I tried to make
your life better.
Even when I didn't feel like it.
And you should know,
I really fucking felt like it.
And here you are.
‐ Here I am.
Here we are.
Here's what you
always wanted to hear
from my ungrateful mouth.
Thank you for liberating me.
Look at me.
I'm liberated.
‐ They still fit?
‐ Yeah.
‐ He'll come soon.
He's patient,
but not that patient.
‐ Breathe. POP: Huh?
When that fucking train comes,
I'm gonna slow you down, Nadia.
‐ It's just a few yards
across the track.
Once we're past‐‐
‐ Well, if I don't make it
out of this,
things I want to say. ‐ Stop.
‐ I want to tell you that...
seeing all those graduations
meant to me...
All you've done,
all you've accomplished‐‐
‐ Stop it.
‐ No, I just‐‐I want‐‐
I want to say it.
But I don't want to hear it.
There's not gonna be a time
after this, okay?
Not for us.
‐ I know you're gonna be mad
at me forever.
I‐I get that.
You don't get
to make your peace.
That's what I'm trying
to tell you,
and I'm not gonna be mad
at you forever.
If I live through this night,
I'm gonna leave this place.
And I'm never gonna think
of you again.
‐ We good here?
‐ Good as we're gonna be.
‐ Pop,
we'll give you a quiet end,
entombed in one of us.
You can subside... gracefully,
knowing that you did
one good thing
in your gaping vacancy
of a life.
‐ I don't know.
Nobody really retires
these days.
I got myself in a vest here,
loaded up with C4.
‐ Pop‐‐ POP: I'm guessing
that when it blows,
it ain't gonna be so easy
to bring me back.
‐ Looks like we're leaving
earlier than we thought.
Down to the back staircase
through the cellar.
- Abdi, stay with me.
- Let's go!
- Go, go, go, go, go!
- Move!
‐
Here, take this one, too.
‐
‐ Hello, Georgia. Freak time.
‐
‐
You guys okay?
How many of them behind you?
‐ We don't know.
- ‐ Go, go, go!
- Come on, let's go.
Go, go, go!
‐ Hey.
‐ Go, go, go, go!
Pop, come on! Pop!
‐ You need more time.
‐ Pop!
‐
‐ Where's Pop?
‐
‐ Keep going.
‐
The train! We have to go!
‐ Wait.
‐ Evelyn!
‐
‐ Careful, now.
Careful, careful, careful.
‐
‐ How deep you got
the bodies stacked, Gus?
Do you slip into a new one
like a kimono?
Or is it
a little more complicated?
‐
‐ Ah...
So you can't just spoon up
whatever dog food's left
into your fancy magic coffin.
This goes up,
the whole place goes up with us.
Looks like you're not
gonna be around
to see your brave old world.
‐ Pop. Reginald.
Don't. ‐ Why not?
You just spent the last hour
telling me I'm a piece of shit.
Now you're gonna tell me what?
That my life is suddenly
worth something?
That I'm a good man?
‐ No.
You're not a good man.
You're a dying one.
‐ Anne, shoot!
‐
‐ And I am a deathless one.
You have nothing.
I have forever.
Don't tell me you're not
interested in a trade.
Don't tell me you don't want
what I've got.
‐ Hmm, no deal. ‐ No!
‐
‐ Come on!
‐ You'll see.
‐ Pop!
Come in, Pop!
Pop!
Pop, come in!
‐ Pop! Pop, do you copy, Pop?
‐ Pop?
‐ Pop? Do you copy, Pop?
the devil in a box
to put an end to all
the horrors we've seen.
The stain,
the curse on our town.
That's what God told me.
I'm just passing through.
Your ad said you needed
temp RNs.
- You on any medications?
- No.
- What's happening?
- We're getting out.
- Just hang on to me.
- Don't make a sound.
Joy?
‐ Although he had no children
of his own,
Pop raised Chris and John.
Everything you fucking have
I gave you.
‐ You gave me shit.
I took what I deserve.
Remember, Sergeant Major?
‐ You'd be wise not
to bring that up again.
You told Nadia?
‐ Nadia!
She figured it out on her own.
Well, now she won't talk
to me either.
Is there anything
you can't fuck up?
‐ She's awake.
Are you feeling better?
‐ Much.
‐ Your vessel was blind, yes?
‐ So I gather.
Well, then...

Now I need something in return.

But I don't think

Where's Abdi?

Abdi...

Nadia!
Stop!
No, please listen!
Please, please, please,
wait, wait, wait!
Wait, I'm not one of them, okay?
I saw your truck! It's not safe!
You got to get out of here!
But they're coming!
They're right down the road,
and they're killing everyone
who's left!
‐ In the truck, now.
Get in!
Go, Pop!
‐ Fuck!
Shit! CHANCE: It's them!
‐ Get down! Get down!
‐ Stay down!
Fuck!
Move!
Abdi!
‐ I saw Pop's truck.
I thought maybe‐‐
‐
‐ Come on! Come on!
Why are they trying to kill us?
‐ Let's live long enough
to talk it out.
When Pangborn got
butchered by his wife,
I bought his trailer
and everything inside it.
‐ The old sheriff? ‐ Yeah.
He had these letters
from Warden Lacy.
‐ And now they're both dead.
‐ Yeah.

‐ 400 years
she's been gathering speed,
heading for this place
at this time,
and you think you can stop her?
‐ You know what I think?
I think there's a reason
your boss sent
an assassin to kill me instead
of breaking down the door.
‐ Oh. Oh, Jesus.
I think you need something.
That's what I think.
Something that only I have.
Huh?
‐ He's here.
Pop.
Pop Merrill, come back.
Come back, Pop.
Let's make a deal.
‐ So you want to discuss
the terms of your surrender?
You caught me at a good time.
Shoot.
Uh... ‐ Oh, Jesus.
Oh, God. ‐ Shh!
‐ Delusions...
normal for a man
in your advanced age.
Whoever you are,
I'm guessing your age is a lot
more advanced than mine.
You're smarter than I thought.
We've got a lot to talk about.
We sure do.
What do I call you, new guy?
‐ My name is Augustin.
Well, Augustin,
I've been catching up
on some old correspondence
from Dale Lacy.
Remember him?
That's why you're here, right?
You need to know what he knew.
‐ So you want to hear my offer?
You give me
the warden's letters,
I'll let Nadia and Abdi go,
along with whoever else
you've got in there.
Or...
we could do this another way.
Decided how many people
you want to see die tonight?
‐ We're not the ones
who'll be dying.
I got bombs on every door
and window.
We have 55 minutes.
- It's the only way out.
- Pop...
Just need extra time.
Let's make a deal. ‐ Really?
You're gonna let them go?
Why? You're killing everyone
else left in Castle Rock?
Pop.
Pop Merrill, come back.
‐ Okay, so we're
fucking surrounded.
‐ Yeah, we have a plan.
Okay.
We need to find a way out
before they find a way in.
And how are we supposed
to do that?
The train.
‐ It's gonna be
the Maine/Boston.
‐ That train's a mile long
and always on time.
‐ We're gonna jump on
to a train?
‐ In front of a train.
‐ Oh, okay.
It was a game we played as kids.
Hurry! Before he sees us!
Come on!
‐ Hurry up! He's coming!
Come on, Nadia!
- Go, go, go, go!
- Nadia, hurry!
Mostly to get away from Ace.
How's that for a fucking
cosmic joke?
‐ It cuts the town in half.
You can't get across
for half an hour.
We get on the other side,
they won't catch us.
‐ I don't know
if I can make it, Nad.
‐ No man left behind, right?
Generator, fuck.
‐ I'm on it. ‐ No, I'll do it.
‐ You shouldn't go alone.
Keep up.
It's just down here.
‐
Where's Anne?
‐ I need to know where they've
got my daughter in that house‐‐
what room, et cetera,
and any other little details
you can help me out with.
‐ And why would I ever tell you
any of that?
‐
Maybe you wouldn't.
But I have put down quite
a few of your brothers
and sisters tonight,
so maybe that carries
some weight.
You folks have some experience
with pain.
Is that right?
Annie...
find her.
‐ So do I.
What I can't get
my kadooza around
is why they're keeping
you alive.
Maybe they're still living in
a world where reasonable people
can come to an arrangement.
I would love that.
I'm as reasonable as they come.
But...
I have spent some time
in that house of yours.
And sorry.
You folks don't seem
very reasonable at all.
‐ Do you really think
she's better off with you?
You see, I knew what he knew‐‐
Jamal‐‐
and I remember the hallway.
Anne?
What are you doing?
Even if you find her,
after what we've done to her,
she'll never be the same.
A good mother
would never let this happen.
‐ You'll look into those eyes,
and you won't know
who's looking back.
‐
‐ You killed him!
He was meant to help us!
Do you never think, Anne?
‐ Pop.
Pop...
‐
I thought we'd be killing
each other by now,
like civilized human beings.
‐ Well, I know how much
you love a deal.
I thought I'd try you
one last time.
Your bombs will slow us down.
They'll slow us down,
but they won't stop us.
I prefer a softer landing,
though.
I bet you do, too.
‐ No, I don't do deals
with walking fucking corpses.
‐ Which is funny,
coming from a walking corpse.
‐ You know the difference
between me and you, Gus?
You're a hitchhiker
in borrowed clothing,
and I know who I fucking am.
‐ Pop...
You don't at all.
That's why you're always
looking for a trade.
You are remarkably empty
of purpose...
Of destiny.
That's why your life
is gonna end here
in this tower of garbage,
this castle of shit.
All these little...
insignificant trades
adding up to a tomb of trash.
See, I know everything he knew.
‐ Who? ‐ Your nephew.
Then you're a fucking moron.
‐ I remember what he felt.
You know what he felt for you?
Love.
To think,
underneath it all,
that angry little boy...
he loved you.
You.
But...
you hit him...
a lot...
when he was small.
A lot.
Well, he was bad a lot.
From the jump, like his dad.
In my house, you pay your debts.
He knew the rules.
‐ It's extraordinary.
No children of your own,
but ruined four kids anyway.
To start with nothing
and somehow end up
with less than nothing...
That takes a real businessman.
I've been trying to understand
what could be so important
in these here letters.
And I don't know much
about your kind,
but I think I can guess.
The way I figure,
you're trying to understand
who the fuck Lacy had in that
cage and where he is now.
Well, you're not gonna find out,
'cause I burned
your fucking letters.
‐ I don't care about
the letters, Pop.
I have you.
You read them,
so I'll take you instead.
I'll make you one of us, Pop,
and you'll tell me everything.
Pop.
Pop.
Don't let him get
into your head.
‐
That part about...
me fucking up all four of you...
‐ Pop, it's‐‐it's too late
for this shit.
‐ Be honest.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Yeah, what?
‐ Yeah, you fucked us up.
I mean, you want me to lie?
‐ I fed you.
I protected you.
I taught you.
Even when my life was shit,
I tried to make
your life better.
Even when I didn't feel like it.
And you should know,
I really fucking felt like it.
And here you are.
‐ Here I am.
Here we are.
Here's what you
always wanted to hear
from my ungrateful mouth.
Thank you for liberating me.
Look at me.
I'm liberated.
‐ They still fit?
‐ Yeah.
‐ He'll come soon.
He's patient,
but not that patient.
‐ Breathe. POP: Huh?
When that fucking train comes,
I'm gonna slow you down, Nadia.
‐ It's just a few yards
across the track.
Once we're past‐‐
‐ Well, if I don't make it
out of this,
things I want to say. ‐ Stop.
‐ I want to tell you that...
seeing all those graduations
meant to me...
All you've done,
all you've accomplished‐‐
‐ Stop it.
‐ No, I just‐‐I want‐‐
I want to say it.
But I don't want to hear it.
There's not gonna be a time
after this, okay?
Not for us.
‐ I know you're gonna be mad
at me forever.
I‐I get that.
You don't get
to make your peace.
That's what I'm trying
to tell you,
and I'm not gonna be mad
at you forever.
If I live through this night,
I'm gonna leave this place.
And I'm never gonna think
of you again.
‐ We good here?
‐ Good as we're gonna be.
‐ Pop,
we'll give you a quiet end,
entombed in one of us.
You can subside... gracefully,
knowing that you did
one good thing
in your gaping vacancy
of a life.
‐ I don't know.
Nobody really retires
these days.
I got myself in a vest here,
loaded up with C4.
‐ Pop‐‐ POP: I'm guessing
that when it blows,
it ain't gonna be so easy
to bring me back.
‐ Looks like we're leaving
earlier than we thought.
Down to the back staircase
through the cellar.
- Abdi, stay with me.
- Let's go!
- Go, go, go, go, go!
- Move!
‐
Here, take this one, too.
‐
‐ Hello, Georgia. Freak time.
‐
‐
You guys okay?
How many of them behind you?
‐ We don't know.
- ‐ Go, go, go!
- Come on, let's go.
Go, go, go!
‐ Hey.
‐ Go, go, go, go!
Pop, come on! Pop!
‐ You need more time.
‐ Pop!
‐
‐ Where's Pop?
‐
‐ Keep going.
‐
The train! We have to go!
‐ Wait.
‐ Evelyn!
‐
‐ Careful, now.
Careful, careful, careful.
‐
‐ How deep you got
the bodies stacked, Gus?
Do you slip into a new one
like a kimono?
Or is it
a little more complicated?
‐
‐ Ah...
So you can't just spoon up
whatever dog food's left
into your fancy magic coffin.
This goes up,
the whole place goes up with us.
Looks like you're not
gonna be around
to see your brave old world.
‐ Pop. Reginald.
Don't. ‐ Why not?
You just spent the last hour
telling me I'm a piece of shit.
Now you're gonna tell me what?
That my life is suddenly
worth something?
That I'm a good man?
‐ No.
You're not a good man.
You're a dying one.
‐ Anne, shoot!
‐
‐ And I am a deathless one.
You have nothing.
I have forever.
Don't tell me you're not
interested in a trade.
Don't tell me you don't want
what I've got.
‐ Hmm, no deal. ‐ No!
‐
‐ Come on!
‐ You'll see.
‐ Pop!
Come in, Pop!
Pop!
Pop, come in!
‐ Pop! Pop, do you copy, Pop?
‐ Pop?
‐ Pop? Do you copy, Pop?
