[LAUGHING]
[BUZZER SOUNDS]
- [WILLIAM'S MOTHER] Hey there, William.
- [BABY LAUGHING]
Hi.
Can you smile for Mama?
I love you so much, William.
[GASPING]
[SPITS, PANTING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[INDISTINCT]
[CACKLES]
[MERCER] Please, can someone
tell us what's happened?
[JENNY] H-Have you found anyone?
We saw a gurney go inside.
Gurney doesn't mean bad.
- It could just be a precaution.
- Oh, okay.
- Okay, it's bad. Don't
- Wha
- Don't look. Don't look. [STAMMERS]
- Oh Oh, my God. Mercer, who is it?
I don't I don't know. I
I just I don't wanna know.
[GASPS] It's Bruno. It's Bruno.
Is there anyone else inside?
[MOUTHING WORDS INDISTINCTLY]
- God, what is going on?
- [CRYING]
You knew the victim? Augenblick?
[INHALES SHARPLY] He
was William's gallerist.
And his [EXHALES SHAKILY]
his dear friend.
But as as for William?
Oh, he's not in there.
Um, I saw him earlier tonight.
Witnesses say he was,
uh, chased onto a ferry.
Probably by the same
people who did this.
And? Is Is he okay?
There's no clear evidence that he isn't,
but [STAMMERS] I lost him.
So, you're pretty sure
this wasn't an accident?
[JENNY SNIFFLES]
[JENNY] W-Why would
anyone wanna kill Bruno?
I don't think they did.
They were trying to destroy the evidence
of whatever William was figuring out.
[INHALES SHAKILY] Oh, my [CRIES]
[KNOCKING]
Nicky. Come on.
- Yo, let us in.
- We're here to help.
Help with what?
Don't worry about it.
Hey, what's going on?
[SIGHS] I just said
don't worry about it.
No, I know what you said. I wasn't
asking you, I was asking her.
- It's Nicky.
- [SIGHS]
- He's fucked up about what happened t
- Hey. That's enough, SG.
Where you been, Charlie?
[SIGHS, SWALLOWS]
Don't worry about it.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING FROM SPEAKER]
I said, leave me alone!
Oh, shit. Charlie.
Charlie, the Prophet.
You You shall pass.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
Misery loves company, boy.
- No. No, thanks.
- [NICKY BREATHES HEAVILY]
Are you all right?
How can I be?
The demon's made me
into a fucking devil.
Maybe you always were one.
[CHUCKLES]
I know about you and Sam.
[CHUCKLES]
[STAMMERS] You found the photos?
[CHUCKLES] I wasn't expecting that.
Little man's growing up.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, kid.
I'm sorry. What can I say, you know?
[SIGHS]
Girls dig musicians.
Even the smart ones.
Did you have feelings for her?
Did you Do you love her?
Yeah.
And, uh
does she love you?
[CHUCKLES]
Uh, I don't know.
Maybe she did for a
little while. [CHUCKLES]
Why? Why only for a while?
See, if you found the photos,
you already know. Right?
It was an It was an
accident, but it broke her.
It broke us.
I made her question everything.
How am I supposed to
just forget what happened?
[STAMMERS] Whoa, whoa.
Hey, hey. Hey, Sammy.
[SIGHS] Sammy. Our hearts are pure.
Please hold onto that.
Hold onto that.
- [BREATHES SHAKILY]
- Know we will make [SNIFFLES]
- We'll do something to make it right.
- [SNIFFLES] No, no. Nothing
- Nothing can make this right!
- Hey, come on. S
Nicky, it's all so fucked.
Everything is so fucked!
[BREATHES SHAKILY, SIGHS]
[NICKY] She lost faith, Prophet.
Now I have too.
[SIGHS]
Don't Charlie, ab absolve me.
Absolve me, Charlie.
I n I need absolution.
Man. [SIGHS]
What you need is to sleep it off.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Amory. What a surprise.
A not unpleasant one, I hope.
I do apologize for
dropping by unannounced,
but I was worried about you.
And that was before I
saw your new fixer-upper.
Listen, as pressing as Daddy's case
is, right now is not a good time.
Oh, it seems like bad times
is all you're having lately.
That's why I'm here.
You must be overwhelmed.
The sordid business with Keith, your
father's health, and seeing William.
You never really said how that went.
It was fine.
There was a fire at William's studio.
My God. A And William?
[INHALES SHAKILY] He wasn't there.
- [INHALES DEEPLY]
- But William's friend, Bruno, was.
He's dead.
Um, William is missing.
- That's awful.
- Some men chased William onto a ferry.
The police think they
may have started the fire,
but Mercer's apartment isn't safe.
- And he came to you?
- Yeah.
When I heard the news, I invited him in.
Well, I hope you'll do the same for me.
[REGAN] I never got to know Bruno,
but I know how much he meant to William.
And now he's gone.
- [SIGHS] And William
- [AMORY] About William,
these thugs that were chasing him,
what do the police know about them?
Names, faces, are they still at large?
Why? You thinking of
becoming a vigilante?
The masked dandy?
[CHUCKLES, SNIFFS] Gallows humor,
very important in trying times.
But I am connected to
those who could help.
The police, the coast guard, search
and rescue, search and recovery
We are not looking for a body.
William is going to turn up,
and he is going to be okay.
Mr. Goodman, if only
wishes could make it so.
Wow, I wish you would just leave.
Granted.
Here. Amory, it's been a night.
Thank you for making the trip out here.
If we hear anything, we'll let you know.
I do hope you get
some rest, Mr. Goodman.
With the way things are going,
who knows what could happen next?
Reegs, I'll let myself out.
[NICKY] Yo, it's Nicky. Let's be
honest, I'm never checking this.
[VOICE MAIL] The
mailbox is full and c
Goddamn it, you motherfucker!
God! You killed someone else,
and William might still be alive!
Goddamn, motherfucker!
Ruin my fucking life!
[CAR DOOR OPENS]
- [SIGHS] Drive on.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
[EXHALING, SHIVERING]
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
[MUSIC DISTORTS]
[CHARLIE] What the hell
happened that night?
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- Mr. Yeung?
I hope I'm not interrupting.
[JOE] No, not at all.
Do whatever poking and prodding
you need to do. I can I can step out.
I'm actually not here to check up
on Sam. I wanted to talk to you.
Mr. Yeung, Sam isn't getting better.
She's not getting worse either,
right? So, tha-that's good.
Not as good as we'd hoped.
There's a trajectory [STAMMERS]
to an injury like this,
where after a few weeks,
once the brain has had a chance
to heal, it wakes itself up.
We don't see that happening.
Yet.
Or maybe ever.
What are you trying to say?
You don't need to make a
decision today or tomorrow,
but it's time to start wrapping
your head around the idea
that you likely do
need to make a decision.
[INHALES SHARPLY] I can't.
It's not even a consideration.
I'm never gonna give up.
Mr. Yeung, in these situations,
we don't call it giving up.
We call it letting go.
[POLICE CHATTER]
That looks like a request for a
warrant. You get a break in the case?
Maybe [SIGHS] if
you back me on this.
[GROANS]
The day after the shooting,
I solicited CCTV footage from all
the buildings across from the park.
Got shot down by everyone.
Ah. Fancy buildings, fancy
people, privacy concerns
Yeah, exactly.
God forbid we catch a glimpse of
someone's mistress or coke dealer
while we're doing our jobs.
Anyway, maybe when I first
asked, that was fair enough.
There was no clear evidence linking
any of the residents to the crime,
but what if now there is?
The girl was waiting outside the
Hamilton-Sweeney apartment building.
William Hamilton-Sweeney was followed
from the Hamilton-Sweeney
Group offices.
There is a clear connection.
To who?
I mean, I know from the papers
Bill Senior's in legal trouble.
[STAMMERS] Bill wasn't at the party or
at the office on either of those days.
According to witnesses, William went
to see his step-uncle, Amory Gould.
- [SCOFFS] That's gonna be a tough
- Gould was at the party too.
Come on. It's enough to justify
seeing if he or anyone else of interest
is on those tapes.
[SIGHS]
- Gould is a big donor.
- [SIGHS]
Across the department,
city council, the Mayor.
- It's gonna get sticky.
- [SIGHS]
[PARSA] Captain, I just
heard from the hospital.
The girl might not make it.
We got her, this arson death, now
William Hamilton-Sweeney's missing.
This could be shaping up
to be a triple homicide.
You wanna waive this guy's
parking tickets? That's on you.
But looking the other
way right now is wrong.
You get a signature,
you got your warrant.
Good luck finding a judge
not in Gould's pocket.
Thank you.
- [OFFICER] Sir.
- [WOODRUFF] What you got?
Forensics came back on
that bombing in the Bronx.
Looks like someone got ahold
of a shit ton of fireworks.
Samantha Yeung's father makes fireworks.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
[REGAN] Hello? Yeah? Yeah.
Thank you. Thank you. Bye.
- [SIGHS]
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[REGAN] Get dressed.
- W-What happened?
- I know where he is.
Came as soon as you called.
Thanks. [SIGHS]
Why did a teacher from
our school sleep over?
His name is Mercer, and he's
your uncle William's boyfriend.
Yes, I am a teacher named Mercer,
and William's boyfriend.
- Where's our uncle? I wanna meet him.
- Oh.
And hopefully, you'll
be doing that very soon.
Bye.
I love you, like, a lot.
Hey, look at me. I'm gonna
explain everything to you.
Hey. Um, I don't wanna
sound like a dick,
but you're pulling Regan
back into William's life.
We got a lot going on
right now, and, uh
Well, you probably noticed William
makes everything more complicated.
Maybe what makes things complicated
is the fact that they were
separated in the first place.
I just want what's best for Regan.
[SCOFFS] Clearly my well-being
is your top priority.
I'll look out for myself.
Okay. Just be careful.
[SIGHS] I guess I'll add this to the
list of things William never told me.
You have a house in The Hamptons.
Though I guess I'd be
surprised if you didn't.
It was the last place
we were all together.
The last place we were truly happy.
[REGAN] After my mom died, my
dad lost himself in his work
and his new girlfriend, Felicia.
William and I were
everything to each other.
I mean, everything.
Look at Amory. Lucifer
and his three witches.
- [WILLIAM CHUCKLES]
- What do you think they're talking about?
Mmm.
The coven is planning to frolic naked
in the woods tonight under a full moon.
I I bet they they sacrifice
a Bear Stearns intern. [CHUCKLES]
Regan, dear, there's
someone I want you to meet.
- Do you have someone you want me to meet?
- [REGAN CHUCKLES]
This one's not quite your type.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Come this way.
- Okay, what are you doing?
- Here she is.
This is Bill's daughter,
Regan Hamilton-Sweeney.
- Hi.
- Hi.
[AMORY] Just down from
Vassar. Isn't she exquisite?
It's like one of Botticelli's angels
has merged with one of Charlie's Angels.
Why do you talk like that? There
has to be some kind of explanation.
He means it as a compliment.
- Right, Mr. Gould?
- That's correct.
My father speaks the
same ancient language,
I've just become fluent by necessity.
[AMORY] This witty young man
is going to school at Yale.
And yes, he is the son of
your father's new partner.
A partnership which will make
both of you very rich one day,
providing everything
goes well with the merger.
Speaking of mergers, I'll
let you two get acquainted.
Oh, my God. I'm sorry. He's a psycho.
- [CHUCKLES] No doubt.
- Yeah.
I, uh, actually asked
him to introduce us.
I thought maybe we could
go somewhere and talk.
Oh, yeah. Sure. [CHUCKLES]
[POP MUSIC PLAYING FROM SPEAKERS]
[FELICIA, ON MICROPHONE]
Everyone, hello!
Thank you all so much for coming.
Today is a day I will remember forever,
and not only because this is
the best party of the summer.
- [GUESTS CHEERING]
- Whoo! Oh, yeah.
Because this is the
day Bill and I announce
we are going to be married!
- [GUESTS LAUGH, CHEERING]
- [FELICIA] That's right!
This is an engagement party! Whoo!
- Really, Dad?
- [SIGHS]
I know how both of you feel about her.
So you thought this
was the way to tell us?
I asked her not to do it this way.
Yeah [STAMMERS] exactly.
That's That's why we feel
the way we feel about her.
- Dad.
- Honey,
just be happy for me.
[STAMMERS]
[CHUCKLES] I mean, you
gotta hand it to her, right?
- Like, she got him to buy the ring.
- [SCOFFS]
- Do you think that she's pregnant?
- [MUMBLES]
- She has to be right?
- What? No.
- Like [SCOFFS] Felicia gain 30 pounds?
- [MUMBLES]
I mean, are you kidding me?
No amount of money ever.
What is happening?
[CHUCKLES] You don't stop. I like it.
[WILLIAM] Mmm.
Well, my brother and
I [INHALES DEEPLY]
are processing
some rather tragic news.
Mmm. Tragic.
Maybe we should go for
a walk. Get some air.
- Um, we're outside. We have air.
- [REGAN CHUCKLES]
- Hey, William.
- Hi, Bret.
- Hi.
- [CHUCKLES]
Come here for a sec.
Um
Yeah, yeah, no Go,
go, go, go, go, go.
Just don't don't let Dad catch
you. Don't give Felicia the win.
- [WILLIAM] Be careful.
- [REGAN CHUCKLES]
Guess who got a key to the cottage.
[REGAN] Yes. There's
a full bar in there.
[HOUSEKEEPER] Oh. Finally,
the little prince awakens.
I was waiting to see if I should
call the police or the coroner.
No, uh Please don't call anyone.
It's Jacob, right?
You remember my name.
Don't recall you ever
using it to say hello,
or acknowledging me much
at all, for that matter.
[SIGHS] I'm sorry.
[CHUCKLES]
I, uh, apologize for my behavior.
- People change.
- Mmm, not people like you.
Let me guess.
You shoot your inheritance up your arm,
and then you show up here in the dead of
night to steal the family silver.
Um, I understand.
And I [SIGHS] realize
you never really liked me
or, um, approved of my lifestyle,
but I know you have worked for
my parents and my sister loyally
for decades.
And I am here
because I just wanna save my family.
Well, I can't argue. I found you a
spoiled child and ungrateful teen.
But as for your lifestyle,
if you'd taken the slightest
interest in the household help,
you'd have known that I
partook in this said lifestyle
long before it was fashionable.
Oh.
Mmm. [CHUCKLES]
But, yes.
Your mom was very dear
to me. God rest her soul.
Despite everything they had,
your family deserved
better than what they got.
Yeah.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
And there is one person
responsible for that.
Amory Gould got where he is by
paying off busboys and doormen.
Digging up dirt on exactly the same
people he now calls his friends.
Yeah, extortion.
- Exactly
- [JACOB SIGHS]
but the fucker was smart.
He was after something way
more valuable than cash.
What?
Access.
He traded silence for invitations.
Weaseled his way to
tables at fundraisers
- Uh-huh.
- and seats on private jets.
And pretty soon, he's sitting at
Bianca Jagger's table at Studio 54,
and nobody even remembers
how he got there.
[JACOB] Uh.
[WILLIAM] I caught this
old guy following me once.
- Yeah?
- I thought I was getting cruised
until I recognized him.
I'd seen him out here
before, with Amory.
I think he was some kind of PI.
Hmm.
- Amory's cottage.
- Hmm.
What are you hoping to find inside?
- Proof.
- [JACOB] Of his blackmailing?
[WILLIAM] Of his connection to
the shooting of an innocent girl.
What? Murder?
Uh-huh. What?
You don't think Amory could be
involved in something like that?
[SCOFFS] On the contrary, I think
Amory Gould is a very bad man.
[REGAN] No, no. I didn't say
No. I don't know what
Get the fuck off of me.
[FRIEND] Oh, come on.
Wh-What are you crying
about? You liked it.
Ms. Regan?
[PANTING, CRYING]
[JACOB] Regan!
[JACOB] Hey! You!
[AMORY] Did you have a good time?
[CAR ENGINE STARTS]
[SIGHS] So you knew.
I knew what I felt in
my gut and my heart.
In any case, it wasn't my place.
[GRUNTS]
That was the argument, wasn't
it? The day of the wedding.
[GRUNTS]
Okay. I know this wedding is totally
fucked up, but it is happening.
And [INHALES SHARPLY] you
have been off at college, right?
Gallivanting around all of Italy,
while I have been right here,
waging a full-on terror campaign
against the unholiest of matrimonies.
Uh Really, it just
It just made Dad hate me more, so
You want this?
Okay.
So this isn't about the wedding.
Seriously,
- why the tears?
- [SCOFFS] Oh, please.
I'm not fucking crying.
Come on. [CHUCKLES]
You are Daddy's favorite,
you graduated summa cum laude,
you are the future of this company,
and that varsity rower
boyfriend of yours Mmm.
I'm not really sure about his
IQ, but that wingspan [MOANS]
You have a perfect life, Reg. [SIGHS]
I can I can, um
[STAMMERS] I can handle him
coming to the wedding. [SNIFFLES]
But Amory just told me that Daddy's
giving him a seat on the board?
Like [STAMMERS] he's gonna
be part of our lives forever.
- I can never work there.
- [STAMMERING]
- I can never work there.
- I don't know who you're talking about.
I can't I can't tell you. I can't
tell I haven't even told Keith.
Tell Keith what?
What could you possibly have to
tell Keith? That you fucked a guy?
Okay, Reg,
- that is none of Keith's business.
- [SIGHS]
It wasn't a fuck.
- [SNIFFING]
- Oh, my God. Hey.
[SIGHS]
[SCOFFS] Was it that, uh that
guy from the party last year?
[INHALES DEEPLY] When I woke up, he
[STUTTERS] he said
you had left early.
You had to get on the
road to get back to school.
- You wanted to beat traffic.
- Yeah, well, he lied.
[SCOFFS] Fuck.
[INHALES SHARPLY] Well,
then he should go to prison.
What? With all the
other Ivy League rapists?
It's his word against mine.
[STAMMERS] You know how that goes.
[SIGHS] Fuck. [SIGHS]
[GROANS, BREATHES SHAKILY] I
knew I should've stayed with you.
Yeah, you couldn't have known.
[STAMMERS] I didn't know.
[STAMMERING] He, um, he
took me to the cottage.
[SNIFFS] You-You know Amory's the
only one who has a key to that, right?
Fucking Amory.
- [SIGHS] Did you tell Dad?
- Of course not.
We have to keep those
people away from our family.
The merger's already done.
I'm talking about the Goulds.
Come on! We have to
go tell him right now.
Please, William. Please
don't do anything.
[WILLIAM] Okay. I'm sorry.
Please. Please.
You need to tell Dad.
[WHISPERING] You need to.
[AMORY HUMMING WEDDING MARCH]
La la la la ♪
[GIGGLES]
Our new business partners will not be
joining us at the celebrations today
or for any social
engagements in the future.
And now that she's graduated,
Regan will be receiving
a seat on the board.
I wasn't aware a board
seat was available.
I just made it available.
So, that's it?
This matter is between
your sister and me,
and we've had a frank,
private discussion.
And we are taking steps to remedy
the situation as best we can.
Okay, I mean
I, uh I just [SIGHS]
I just figured your best would maybe
include keeping a
rape-enabling psychopath
- out of our family, but
- William, please.
I don't even understand the words that
are coming out of your mouth right now.
Well, if they're
vitriolic and irrational,
I believe they would be aimed at me.
Oh, yeah. And I would be more than happy
- to explain them to you.
- Don't!
William, I've had just
about enough out of you
with these childish outbursts
and condescending comments.
Not to mention all the checks
I've had to write recently
- every time you get kicked out of school.
- Oh, right. 'Cause it's so bad.
And don't think I don't know about
your trips to the park at night.
Are you spying on me?
[AMORY] Did you really believe
your father was gonna allow you
to freely roam the city unobserved?
Oh. Oh, so you observed me, huh?
Okay. Um, Dad
[SNIFFS] this person is a pervert
- [FELICIA SCOFFS]
- and she is a money-grubbing soul-sucker.
They're both [STAMMERS]
vampires feasting on our family!
Bill, he cannot speak to us that way.
- You are way over the line, young man!
- What line? Please. A line?
[STAMMERS] After what he did to Regan?
I would never hurt either of you.
William. William, we can't
know for sure what he did.
Y-Yes, he's he's a liar, obviously.
But we'll never know if
he's lying about this. Right?
- I mean, I was drunk.
- No.
Yes, it was stupid!
- Are you serious?
- I'm not gonna ruin Dad's life over this.
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
I'm not trying to
ruin his life. I'm not.
I'm trying to save it.
I'm trying to save yours.
Hey, Reg, please stand
up for yourself right now.
Come on!
Come
You know what? Um, fuck you all.
You're all dead inside.
And I am gonna get outta here
before you kill me too. Okay?
So [INHALES DEEPLY]
have a great wedding.
[SIGHS] Or should I say funeral, really?
And that was the last time that I
saw her or any of them for 15 years.
[SIGHS] What the hell is this, Regan?
What?
She was pregnant?
Holy shit.
I bet that Ivy League
fucker knocked her up.
She must've taken care of
it before she went to Italy.
Or she never went to Italy.
Oh, that poor girl.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe
Regan went through this shit
and didn't say anything to me.
If I would've known,
I would've done I
I would've done things
differently, right? Everything.
Jesus. Amory's got files on all of us.
Yours is as thick as
a fucking phone book.
Your bandmate's overdose.
Practically every guy you were
ever with or bought a bag off.
But nothing on Nicky?
That doesn't make any sense.
- What's this one?
- [WILLIAM] That's a business pile.
This would be personal, right?
Unless this is business for Amory.
Holy fucking shit.
Wait. Who's Nicholas McKay?
Nicky, Nicky Chaos. Th-Th-This
is his juvie records.
His PI reports.
"Public mischief. Shoplifting.
Arson.
Arson. More arson."
"McKay is not an intravenous drug user.
I do believe, however, that he
may suffer from pyromania"
an impulse control disorder resulting
from unprocessed childhood trauma
usually seen in young men.
Based on his predilection for arson,
I would ask you to consider McKay
as a candidate for the 'LH project.'"
What's that, the LH project?
I don't know.
But I know someone who might.
[JACOB GRUNTS, CLEARS THROAT]
I gotta get back to town
[INHALES DEEPLY] ASAP. [SIGHS]
Gotta catch a bus or a train.
Or I could, uh, gas up
that stolen boat for you.
I mean, I should probably
give that back, huh?
- Yeah.
- [CAR HORN HONKS]
[JACOB] I called.
She said to keep you
here until she arrived.
Dude, you're alive!
[WILLIAM] Yeah.
[MERCER BREATHES
DEEPLY] I was so worried.
I'm okay. I am.
Um, William, something
terrible has-has happened.
It's Bruno.
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
Hi.
[CHUCKLES] I'm gonna need
to see your security tapes.
Strontium nitrate burns
red. Copper chloride burns blue.
Now, you combine these two powders,
and you get a new color. Purple.
Just like a kid with crayons.
[PARSA] Okay, what about black powder?
Something called pulverone.
You keep any of that?
Of course. That's the explosion.
That's how the whole
thing gets off the ground.
But that's in a a separate bin.
Locked.
What the hell?
- What is it?
- It's gone. All of it. [SIGHS]
Okay, what can someone do
with that, with what's missing?
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Take down a city block.
[NICKY] All right, let's
get it done. This is it.
[NICKY SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
She's beautiful.
[WHISTLES]
Hey, Prophet. You're just in time.
For what?
Our project is now complete.
Come on. Come, come, come.
Meet
the demon brother.
[BEEPING]
Okay. Stop here.
Play it in real time.
[CHARLIE] Jesus, Nicky,
you're gonna fucking kill us!
- [SOL, DELIRIUM LAUGHING]
- Turn it off!
[CHUCKLING] I'm just
fucking with you. [LAUGHS]
So, it's not a bomb?
Oh. Oh, no, no, no, no. It's
most definitely a bomb. [LAUGHS]
I just gotta hook up the
timer and the detonator.
But not yet.
[LAUGHS]
What do you plan on doing with it?
Answering your prayers.
What if I told you I had the knowledge
that you've been searching for
ever since you turned
up on our doorstep?
What if this could deliver you vengeance
against the devil responsible
for Sam's shooting?
You know who shot Sam?
Yeah. I'm pretty fucking sure.
He's a man who believes in
killing to protect his secrets,
and Sam knew too many of his.
[MCFADDEN] You know this guy?
I mean, can't totally see his face
- but it's
- [STAMMERS] But the hair?

Solid to liquid.
Liquid to light.
Fire is an alchemist. A magician.
It's poetic justice that
this is how he should die,
consumed by the beautiful
monster he paid me to unleash.
What a bunch of bullshit.
[SCOFFS]

- [SCOFFS]
about artists and dreamers?
Or do you just like burning shit?
- Charlie.
- No, for real.
Are you just some sick
fuck who likes fire,
and everything else is a lie
because the only other thing you
get off on is controlling people?
Hey. You need to leave now, Prophet.
Ayo, this isn't gonna work out.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
- Fine by me.
- Whoa.
He can't leave.
Why not?
He knows too much. Like, everything.
[SCOFFS] Fuck it. What's
another body at this point?
- What? No!
- [SOL GRUNTING]
You're not killing Charlie!
Do you hear yourself right now?
Look, she's right. He's
just a little fucking kid.
He's not gonna do anything.
I need you to calm down.

- How do you know?
- Don't put your fucking hands on me!
- [NICKY] Yo! Sol!
[SOL] Ah, give me a reason
to knock someone out.
- If anyone moves. [SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
