[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Sister Simone,
you must locate the Holy Grail.
I don't want to talk to It.
'Cause It killed your dad?
Yeah, 'cause It killed my dad.
Your mother is such a genius.
If I could just have a peek
inside her workshop.
[CROSSBOW WHOOSHES]
What's your name?
- Lizzie. What's yours?
- Wiley.
I've always wanted
to meet a real cowboy.
- Damn it, Lizzie!
- Hey! My name is Simone now.
What did you say when I proposed to you?
I said yes, Jesus.
The Algorithm distracts Its users,
sends them on little quests
for fucking Wings.
You use It long enough,
It gives you Wings, right?
Wrong.
It uses you long enough,
It gives you strings.
[TENSE MUSIC]
After you find It, I will end my life.
Do you know where the Holy Grail is?
This is the last person known
to be in possession of the Grail.
Her name is Clara.
It did give me a clue a phone number.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hi, this is Clara.
My god, Clara.
I'm looking for the Grail.
Where are you?
- [PHONE BEEPING]
- Oh, we got a hit!
Number's in London.
Then I guess we're going to London.

The tie is the uniform of the enemy.
And if you don't wear it,
they'll sense you're not one of them.
Think it'll just be way less satisfying

What kind of idiot would

Well, bulls aren't actually that bad.
In fact, some of them are kind of sweet.
Respect to your bona fides, pardner,
but you haven't been in a rodeo
since you were 11.
[SOUTHERN ACCENT] Oh, well,
I'll have you know, darling,
I conquered many a steer

Oh, great.
Then you shouldn't be scared

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

you can't be serious."
I'm serious. I'm serious.
I've thought about this a lot,
seriously. Uh, this decision

Right, right, right. Okay.

Mr. Wiley.
Your mother and father
They were wonderful people.
We were so sorry to learn
of their tragic death.
Also, happy birthday, by the way.
Oh. [CLEARS THROAT] Yes.
Thank you.
I have here a copy
of your grandfather's last will
and testament,
which states that you,
Preston John Wiley III,
on the occasion
of turning 25 years of age,
will inherit the entirety of the estate,
the value of which,
as of today, is $712 million.
I'm giving it all away.
Are you gonna ask if I'm serious?
Aren't you serious?
Oh, people!
I don't need to overexplain.
Morally, I cannot accept
this grotesque wealth,
and so I have signed
it all away to charity.
Everything except $85,000
for a cabin in Alaska
for me and the woman I love.
We're driving there today.
And there is nothing
you can do to stop us.
- There ain't

- No

Bo?
You know this man?
Gentlemen, pardon the intrusion,
but I have business
with Preston Wiley here.
[LOUD METALLIC THUMP]
Son, there's a secret
that's been kept from you
your whole life,
and before you take all this money,
you got a right to know who you are.
Now, some fellas, they don't
want to know the real truth.
But if you do,
and any real cowboy would
just say, "Tell it to me straight, Bo."
And I will.
Tell it [CLEARS THROAT]
To me straight, Bo.
♪
About 20 years ago,
your grandfather knew
his foot was rearing back
to kick the bucket,
so he decreed that his inheritance
would skip a generation,
bequeathing
the whole damn piñata to you,
his beloved grandchild.
All you had to do
was live to the ripe old age of 25.
But son, you were born busted.
Your liver.
And don't ask me what it was.
I ain't no doctor.
But it was fucked up.
Only one problem:
it weren't fucked up enough.
Now, your mama and daddy,
they couldn't get you
on the transplant list
because the danger weren't imminent.
But if your liver quit on you,
you kicked it before you were 25,
your granddaddy's money
would stay locked up forever.
[SPITOON CLANGS]
So they hired me.
I trained you
for the junior rodeo circuit,
not because you had a talent
for riding steer
You didn't
But for another reason entirely:
to get you on the damn liver list.
I reckon you recall the All Hallows' Eve
Junior Rodeo Extravaganza,
but what you don't recall is
how doped up that animal
you were sitting on was,
nor me reaching down and
grabbing that bull's nut sack.
Now, I could barely get
his balls in my hands,
but I knew I had to get both of them.
And I did, son.
And I squeezed that bull's gem sack
one second before the two of
you shot out of that chute.
You were in the hospital
waiting for a liver transplant
within the hour
An adult liver you share
with that little girlfriend of yours.
Would you have made it to 25
if your family hadn't found
a way to cut the line?
No way to say.
But before you take
all your granddaddy's money
I want you to know the game was rigged.
All them ribbons and medals you won,
they weren't earned.
And I've borne this truth
all these years,
the one that you told me
to tell it to you straight.
So straight's how I'm gonna
tell it, Preston John Wiley.
Ain't nothing worse than a cowboy
who ain't worthy of his boots.

A transfer of the Grail,
which is happening
at the Loch of Drumellie.
So come on, let's go. I got us bikes.
I'm staying.
What?
I can win this thing.
I knew it.
This this was never about
you helping me with Apron Man.
He's out, and you're still here.
For what? For what?
Free neeps and tatties?
No, I'm still here, Lizzie,
because I am the one true king,
and that horned fuck over there
is the only thing standing
between me and my destiny.
You know what? You do your destiny, pal.
I am going after the Grail.
