Blood Brothers
1 Previously on Ice [CAM.]
: I'm gonna put in an offer for your store.
175 grand, and I stop him from cutting your fuckin' head off.
I just came from Westhuizen.
They agreed to you running their interests in L.
A.
They're sending me with you.
Don't you see I can't leave here until everything's settled? I am helping her file for divorce.
She's not gonna be your wife much longer.
I'm going into business on my own, and I want top quality.
Your diamonds are the best.
That's best damn rough I've ever seen.
I'll bring you the money myself.
I promise.
[.]
[MALCOLM.]
: There's a story my dad used to tell me, about this king back in the day, had all these diamonds, wealthy as shit, real rich tosser, way impressed with himself.
But this king was really an insecure wanker, as most kings are.
So one day, he asks his advisor, "Who's the luckiest bloke in the world?" And the wise old bastard thinks, then answers, "There was a farmer I once knew, reckon he'd be the one.
" King looks at him like, "How's a farmer without one gem luckier than me, when I've got all the bloody diamonds in the world? His advisor says, "Diamonds are fleeting.
"You can't own em' no more than you can hold the light they reflect in your hands.
" When his diamonds are gone, then he'll know if his life is worth a shite or not.

[.]
[GASPS AND MOANS OF PASSION.]
[SIGHING IN SATISFACTION.]
Welcome back.
It's good to be back.
You know, we should order from Prime Pizza I bet they deliver here.
You know, we could open a bottle of wine, hmm? Before round two maybe? How does that sound? Hello? All right, look, I'm sorry that I didn't call sooner.
I should have.
It's been a hectic few days.
It's all good.
Okay? I'm okay with this.
This being? [CELL PHONE BUZZES.]
Um This being a drive-by hook-up? [GIGGLING.]
[.]
It's a bit early to be leaving, innit? D.
J.
Bee doesn't spin for another half an hour.
You're gonna miss all the fun.
Says the guy sitting alone on the hood of his car drinking a six pack.
Drinks Mm-hmm 15 quid.
One drink in there, 15 quid.
That's classy.
Get piss drunk, then go inside and troll for leftovers? No.
Not when the main course has arrived.
[WRYLY.]
Wow What part of England are you from? Who said I'm from England? I'm from Beverly Hills.
I spend summers visiting my dad.
It's not summer now.
Well, this is more a return engagement.
Cool.
Well, I know where there's a bitchin' after hours party.
"Bitchin'.
.
" okay.
[CHUCKLES.]
"Bitchin'.
" Do you wanna join? As tough as it is to say no, I was kinda having a bit of a "me" moment just then.
Just soaking up the vibes.
I'm gonna watch the sunrise.
There will be another one of those tomorrow, I heard, but I'm more like the eclipse that happened.
Oh, you mean you only last two minutes, eh? But people are still talking about it.
[CHUCKLES.]
Good one.
Look, I've got loads of lost time to make up for, but I'll be seeing you.
[.]
Seriously? A fidget spinner? Yeah.
What? It's medicinal.
They developed these for people with ADD.
I don't think it's working.
Eleazar call you back? Fuck.
Figured we'd just go over there when we're done here.
He must have heard about the liquidation.
Him and Dad go back, like, 40 years, so he'll cut our diamond.
Well, he better, or we might as well have died in that fuckin' jungle.
Help you boys? Uh, yes.
How much is this one here? Classic, bro.
Can't let it go for a dime under 1,200.
Meaning you pay us? [LAUGHS.]
So you're the one with the sense of humor.
How much for that one? Seven grand.
All right, well, how about this, how about we give you 800 for it, and then we won't tell the LAPD you're running a chop shop for Chuy Ramirez in the back.
When you put it that way we got a deal.
Awesome.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Mom, what are you doing here? Well, it's Willow's first day in her new school.
Yeah, yeah how did you even know that? Well, we've been catching up.
Who? My granddaughter and I.
You don't get to do that.
Okay, you can't just come here like this.
Well, I called and nobody answered.
I know.
Why did you bring those? I stopped eating Old Fashioned's when I was, like, 16.
[CHUCKLES.]
That's 'cause you porked out on them.
These are for Willow! All right, Mom, let's go.
Another time, all right No, I'm not going, no.
Come on, we'll talk about this later Wait a minute! Did you think I was just going to give you a boatload of cash, and then slip into the background again? One can hope.
I have some errands to run, then I'm having a lunch, and then I am going to see my granddaughter.
I don't know if you're breaking my balls here, David, but let me be the first to tell ya, I ain't in a fucking jokey mood.
Mm-mm.
See, I would flip flop the couch with this piece here.
More, uh, feng shui if you ask me.
But I didn't.
I don't give a fuck if you have to get the nine justices of the Supreme Court.
That bitch gets nothing.
Now, get it fucking done.
Fuck.
Fuck What the fuck is this, a poofters' convention? [LAUGHS.]
Ah, you wait till you see what we've done with the showroom.
So, look Mexico City yellow, or Jamaica flat green? Oh, I'm glad it amuses you.
You know, maybe you should talk to Sarah.
You see, because if this divorce goes through, half this shit is hers.
And what is it with you with these fucking burgers? It's not even 9:30 in the fucking morning, for Christ sake.
Jesus Christ I love 'em.
They don't taste like this back home.
What am I gonna do? [SIGHING.]
When I was 15, I was going out with this girl, Sheri.
Long story short, I gave her the clap.
Oh, that's nice.
[CHUCKLES.]
All right, I know Obviously, she freaked out, yeah? I didn't know what to do, and Mom told me, "Go and talk to her.
"Make it seem like your problems are worse than hers.
" It worked.
No, I get it.
I get it.
So, uh I kill her with kindness.
[.]
Now, we have a lot of the five-carat plus, am I correct? So, we're going to sell them for premium, and we're going to drive up the price.
Are we clear? Everybody? Good.
Oh.
Mr.
Sinder.
We saved you a small seat at the end of the table We need to talk in private.
Now.
You don't get to decide when we talk.
How dare you terminate executives from this company without my approval? These were good people, not to mention the cost of their severance packages.
They weren't doing their job properly, so we needed a change.
Oh, I couldn't agree more, and as soon as I speak to Westhuizen, I promise you that change is coming.
Well, after that small interruption, let's continue.
If you turn to the consolidated cash flow, you will find that the figures are significantly lower than they should be Okay [ENGINE REVS.]
Whoa.
Shit If you're spending a grand a month on a car, you really ought to know how to use it.
Well, I got us here, didn't I? You have everything you need? You ready to go? Oh, come on, Will, don't do this now.
- You agreed to give it a try - No.
You did when you enrolled me for this school without even asking.
Williams is number two in the country.
35% go on " Go on to attend an ivy league school of their choice.
" Yeah, I know, Mom.
No need for a website, they have you.
You obviously have no idea what this could mean for your future.
It means I'll have no high school reunion to go to because I'll have no friends.
Your friends aren't going to abandon you just because you don't see them every day.
Or ever.
I want you to have opportunity, Will.
Opportunity that I didn't have.
I saw what Gramma Diane gave you, okay? Growing up like that couldn't have been that bad.
Money doesn't solve every problem.
It buys you a lot of "kiss my ass".
Well What do you think you're doing? Walking you in.
What am I, six? Bye.
Have a good day.
Hello, Mama Bear.
Cori I was hoping I would see you.
Willow excited to start? Yeah.
You know, it's It's an adjustment, but she's so grateful for what you did.
Oh, it was nothing.
We are appreciative.
Oh, this is so unnecessary.
[GASPS IN DELIGHT.]
Oh, they're beautiful They're vintage, Art Deco.
They suit you.
You designed these? No, I'm more of a curator.
Shara! Come check these out.
Aren't they precious? [GASPING.]
Love 'em.
Meet our own Paloma Picasso, - Ava Green.
- Hi.
- How are you? - Good.
Her daughter, Willow, just started today.
You know what we need to do? We need to throw you a trunk show.
Get the word out.
Oh you don't have to do that.
Oh, we can do it at my place.
- Get Joan to cater.
- Joan? Joan's on Third.
[LAUGHING.]
Shalom aleichem, you old bastard.
Es gait gut, a dank.
Ikh hob dikh shoyn lung night gezen.
I I have no idea what you just said, but God, it's good to see you.
It is good to see the both of you, looking so well.
Yes, well, you know, being near the equator will do that to you.
Ah, South America.
Explains the visit.
We have the most amazing stone.
I'm talking 500, 600 carats Whoa.
Uh, can we assume the usual rate? For many years, your father helped put a roof over my head.
10% for the Greens, always [CAM.]
: What a surprise.
S-Surprised would be a word.
Uh-huh.
Glad to see you back in the, uh the land of the upright, considering your your injury there, Jake.
You know what's funny, Cam, I did not receive a card.
Oh, no? Well, you know, you get to my age, and, uh you don't like thinking about hospitals and, uh cemeteries.
So what brings you to my shop? Wait your shop? Yeah.
Oh, and, uh, my old friend here, he made a mistake.
It's 10% for family, and you made it perfectly clear that, uh, I'm no longer family, so I gotta charge you 25%.
So, if the diamond's as good as you say it is, you've entrusted it to the right man.
Hey, Pop? [CHUCKLING.]
Show me the stone.
It's not here.
Aw come on, Freddy, let the dog see the rabbit, eh? You know, with everything that's happened, you can't be too careful.
You got no stone.
All you got is a fuckin' story.
Well, Cam, at 25%, you will never fucking know.
[CHUCKLING.]
No? Hey, these kids, 10%, eh? Are they fuckin' kidding? [SIGHING.]
I thought they weren't gonna make it back from Venezuela.
Yeah, well, life is full of surprises.
What's up? They got something big.
That's why they came to the best.
No, the way Freddy was looking at me with them eyes I've never seen him so focused.
It's called being sober.
No, no I know these boys.
You want me to look after them? Yeah, um check out where they're shacked up, and Malc, uh, you know, behave yourself.
None of this fuckin' kung fooey shit.
[SIGHS HEAVILY.]
[FREDDY.]
: How the hell did Cam take over Cy's shop? I'm guessing it wasn't pretty.
Okay, so Eli's out.
Who's next? [ELEVATOR DINGS.]
[SIGHING.]
Well, Hyman, but he's got Alzheimer's.
I heard the poor bastard cleaved a brisket into a princess cut.
Oh, shit, what about that guy, um, Dad used to play pinochle with? Oh, Saul.
Saul Burley? No way, not for a rough this size.
No way.
All right, you know who we could try? Laser Mike.
What? Fuckin' Millennial.
No, he's all about computers.
I don't know, I've heard his new software has been cutting some pretty big roughs.
Yeah, yeah.
He's got no heart.
We don't need a fuckin' hug, Freddy.
We need someone who can cut the size of our rough, that's it.
Well, he works out of his loft, so we could keep it discreet.
- There you go.
- [CELL PHONE RINGS.]
One sec.
Aw, hello, Willow.
Mom's gone uber bitch on me.
Wow, easy, No, I'm at Williams, and [SIGHING HEAVILY.]
erudite bullshit aside, this is not the school for me, and you said you'd help.
I know, I said I will talk to your mom, and I will.
When? This afternoon.
[SIGHS.]
Thanks.
I love you, Dad.
I love you, too.
What does "erudite" mean? "Erudite"? Uh, it's like real smart.
Isn't that what you want in a school? Well, it's also means kind of being a dick about it.
All right.
Okay, so if I ask you to go see Laser Mike on your own, you will keep it business? I'll try.
Hard.
Okay.
I'll see you at Dad's later? Yeah.
Keep it erudite.
The trade routes facilitate a reduction in costs, but you've got to protect the stones.
Here.
Oh, Jackson, "terminated" means get the fuck out.
You know, it's funny, Westhuizen agrees Jackson is a valuable member of the team, and were not pleased to hear of his dismissal.
Go.
You talked to them.
Without my knowledge? Well, you fired people without mine.
Well, perhaps we are more alike than I thought.
Perhaps.
So, how are you? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Yeah, so far so good.
I'm a free man.
You're doin' great.
Good.
I'm glad I'm glad I project that.
[LAUGHS.]
It's a journey.
Every step builds on the one before it, and you are ready for the next step.
I, uh Oh, really? "Fearless moral inventory.
" You're gonna write your life story, my friend.
Okay, which part? All of it.
The good, the bad Up till now, the world has always decided who you are, and now it's Freddy Green's turn.
Honesty is the key.
One of these columns is gonna be a lot longer than the other, I'll tell you that.
It's not gonna be easy, I'm not gonna lie to you.
You gotta uncover those demons.
Tell the truth.
Quick question what's the world record for the word "vomit" written on one of these things? Pride, lust, gluttony, my cup runneth over, too.
Let me ask you a question, Reardon.
Tessa? You hired her? Everybody deserves a second chance, Freddy.
[.]
I love a girl with Daddy issues.
Take it out.
Excuse me? The rough? That's what you're here for, right? Uh, yeah, I'll just see Mike first.
Laser there's a prick here won't give me his stone.
It's a prick named Freddy Green! You'll want to mention that.
Let him in, Ash.
There you go.
Thanks, baby.
[SLAP.]
Freddy Green insert idiomatic expression of unlikeliness here.
I'm not here by choice, if that's what you mean.
You want a drink? Is that it? Aw, straight to business, I like that.
The YAG laser.
It uses infrared light rather than visible.
Looks like a fuckin' refrigerator.
Cuts the stone with twice the accuracy in a tenth the time any human could.
Yeah, and none of the soul.
"Soul"? Yeah, well, the soul didn't buy me my car.
So, what do you got? Yeah Oof.
Don't fuckin' drop it.
That is very pretty.
[MOTION SENSOR BEEPS.]
[MOTION SENSOR BEEPS.]
Welcome to the 21st Century, old man.
Poof.
Here's your optimum yield.
Yeah Yeah, but you know, I was thinking maybe a radiant pear-shaped would work better.
Yeah, well, me and the YAG were thinking that you're wrong.
Just punch it in, asshole.
See? People are fallible.
Computers are not.
Yeah.
Now, let's see what this bad boy is worth.
[FREDDY.]
: Remember that time Dad made me cut that rock.
It was a great big blue.
12 years old working a real stone, on a foot wheel, with wooden tools.
Your rock's worth 10 million plus.
Shit.
[MOTION SENSOR BEEPS.]
Freddy, what the hell are you doing? Yo, Freddy, what are you doing? What my dad would have wanted me to.
[GUN COCKS.]
Malcolm I'll give you a hint, it's not here.
Looks like someone's all grown up.
Give me your gun.
It's only you, Jake.
I didn't bring one.
[CHUCKLES MIRTHLESSLY.]
Bullshit.
Lift up your shirt.
Turn around.
All this before "hello.
" Can't a brother just drop by and see an old mate? Not without knocking, no.
That hurts.
A lot has changed since you last were here.
Yeah, no shit.
There's a bloody train that runs all the way from downtown to the beach now.
When did that happen? Did you come here to discuss urban development? If so, you should take a look at the 405.
It will drive you nuts.
Oh, yeah? You really shouldn't have come here, Malcolm.
Oh, is that a threat? No, not really.
Just advice.
From someone who's survived so far.
Survived? Must have been rough, huh? Big fuck off house in Hancock Park, hot and cold running water, pussy on tap, Aw, mate's fuckin' strugglin', weren't ya? If you think it's been easy for me, you have been misinformed.
Come to think of it I did hear that you and Freddy had a run of rough luck.
Ah, no, no, no, luck's got nothing to do with it.
It's the nature of this business.
It makes you do things that you never thought you were capable of.
You got that look, Jakey.
I know it.
You've seen death by your hand.
I've done whatever it takes to protect my family.
[SIGHS.]
See, that's the difference between me and you I don't have a family.
If you've come here looking for some happily ever after, Cam ain't it.
Okay? Believe me, I know.
Well, at least you had a chance at it.
See you around.
Yeah.
[CAM.]
: "Insidious.
" It's a 12-pointer.
How you doin'? Hello.
Yes, my love, it's really me.
I told you I'd come.
You smell like cigar smoke.
[CHUCKLES.]
Come here.
No foolin' my gal, huh? I want a divorce.
I want you out of my life.
That's Ava talking, that's not you.
I've learned a lot here about myself and about you.
I'm a good person.
Yes.
I deserve a good life.
Yes, you do, and that's what I want to give you.
No.
No.
Easy.
Easy I know what you're doing, and it's not going to work.
You're not the only one who lost something.
Oh, stop it.
I love you, Sarah.
I always have.
I just want things to be the way they were, you know? Like when we first met.
I want you to leave now.
Fine! Fine.
I got something I wanna tell you.
Something you should know I killed Isaac.
I killed your brother with my own hands, and I got away with it.
If you take out divorce proceedings, I will kill you.
So you sleep with one eye open, Sarah, 'cause the angel of death is upon you.
Freddy I never said thank you for letting me stay here before everything happened.
Good to see you.
It's good to see you.
Come on in.
Yup.
Thanks.
What? You look? Sober? Yeah.
You look good.
Thanks.
I'm happy for you.
Well, somebody ought to be.
There's a whole bunch of coke dealers and liquor stores that are really hurting right now because of it.
Place looks nice.
It's got a woman's touch, it needed that.
Yeah.
Thanks.
I didn't really do much.
Yeah, still, it feels better.
Did Jake notice? - Jake? - Yeah.
No, he hasn't seen it.
Is he not here? Is he supposed to be? Uh, well, maybe I have it wrong.
I haven't seen him since the hospital.
Right.
Right, you, uh, you weren't here when we What? Jake thought he knew where the Holocaust Diamond might be.
Right.
So wait a minute, were you guys in the house when I wasn't here? There's-there's a key behind the planter out front.
Well, there won't be now.
Yeah, I told Jake you weren't exactly What? I said you wouldn't be cool with it.
You were right.
Yeah.
So, uh, why are you meeting Jake here? Well, Pop has some old books downstairs.
We were hoping to go through them, if that's all right.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, that's that's fine.
Tell Jake I'm downstairs when he gets here? Sure.
Oh, and, uh, tell him I've figured it out.
What's that? The future.
Thanks for coming.
I've missed enough moments of your life already.
[CHUCKLES.]
I brought you something.
What is this? Oh, it's a tradition of sorts.
It's our family bible.
I'm not really, uh religious.
Oh, but this particular book is something much bigger.
It's our family history.
Since 1884 everything is recorded in here.
Every birth.
Every death.
Oh, I'm in there.
Of course, you are, sweetheart.
I remember the day you were born.
I went for a swim in the sea, and the water was so warm, it was just like a bathtub.
It was perfect.
[CHUCKLES.]
I don't want to change schools.
I'm a big believer in free will, but I also believe that there's one captain to every ship.
You're siding with her.
Do you see this list? Some people see names, I see a dynasty.
Every generation headed by a queen a matriarch, looking out for her own.
If she wants you to go to this school, then she has her reasons.
[ROAR AND HONK OF TRAFFIC.]
Do you remember when we was little, and Isaac wouldn't let Freddy and Jake have soda, but you would? Jake would always, always just piss himself with worry that his old man would find out.
Uh I'm just wondering whether this walk down memory lane has anything to do with the job I gave you.
Jake was a proper little pussy then.
[CHUCKLING.]
Yeah.
Credit to him, though he's his own man now.
You spoke to him? Yeah, I thought it was only right I go and say hello.
Why did you become stupid all of a sudden? Stupid? Now he knows you're here.
So what? I'm still the dirty little secret.
No We've got a plan to stick to.
I'm thinking maybe you didn't even want 'em dead in the first place.
Malcolm, you need to keep your head.
You know, we've got a lot of shit to do here, and I need you with me.
Malcolm Hey! [BOTTLE SHATTERS.]
[SIGHS.]
What the fuck's wrong with you? I just realized Isaac was right.
Soda's bad for me.
Always was.
[FRONT DOOR CLOSES.]
[SARCASTICALLY.]
Oh, please come on in.
We need to talk.
Yes, we do.
Willow called me today.
Oh, she ran to Daddy for help.
[CHUCKLES.]
Maybe Daddy agrees with her.
Since when do you care about academics? I care.
She's staying there.
And that's the end of the discussion, huh? It's a better school.
It's a better education.
Please tell me how the fuck we're going to pay for it.
"We" are not.
Are you Are you working? I am.
For who? Me.
[CHUCKLES.]
It's time I relied on myself, don't you think? That is a lot of product.
How'd you pay for it? I got a loan.
So, that's why the "for sale" sign is gone out front, right? Yeah.
Yes.
I'm buying the house, Jake.
Which means we need to set up some boundaries.
You can't just come into the house whenever you want, like you did with Freddy.
How do you even know He's in the basement.
Dammit.
I'm changing the locks, and you won't be getting a key.
You're right.
You're right, and I'm sorry.
It's just you bought my dad's house, and you bought all this product.
How big of a loan did you actually get? How did you get it Like I said Boundaries.
Okay, so you were right.
About what? Ava is not happy about us coming here.
No.
So, how'd it go at Mike's? Uh, well, he's still a prick.
No doubt.
He's got a new girl, she's kind of a prick, too.
That reminds me, I just ran into Malcolm.
Who? Cam's Malcolm? Yeah, and he was wearing a beautiful 6.
54 carat Asscher-cut diamond stud.
Okay? The very one that I found in Tel Aviv.
Cam robbed the store.
Yup.
Huh.
Fuck me.
All right So, is he going to cut our diamond or what? No.
He said no? I said no.
Oh, Freddy [SLAPS TABLETOP.]
How do you say "Booya" in Russian? The Anastasia diamond.
What about it? We're going to sell it.
Yeah, no one's seen that diamond for over a hundred years.
Yeah.
I can change that.
I can cut our rough to match it.
I saw it when I was at Mike's.
It's in there.
It's what this fuckin' rock wants to be.
You remember what Pop used to say? "It's not the diamond, it's the story.
" People will line up to buy a piece of history.
We'll make De Beers look like fuckin' pishers.
The cutting wheel is right there.
It's begging me.
It's begging me.
But you haven't cut a stone in years, though.
I mean, years Yes.
Yes, but I can do this.
Hey, look at me, look at me I can do this.
Say yes.
Fuck yes.
[.]
You okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
You know, my therapist says it's good to express yourself, heals the soul.
Good idea.
What the hell are you doing? [GASPING IN SHOCK.]
You said to express myself.
What the fuck, you think I'm a whore? I just No, just get out.
What the fuck Stupid wannabe-actress, fuck off! Fuck you! Fuck you, you fuckin' bitch! Asshole! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! [GASPS.]
The fat-tailed Arabian scorpion is one of the most venomous creatures in the world.
One of the few that can kill a human being in a single sting.
They are nocturnal by habit, hiding in plain view during the day, and then striking at night, capturing their prey in their powerful claws.
So keep still.
They are indigenous to Africa, so it's very rare to find one quite so far from home and yet, here she is.
I swear, I'll do whatever you say.
Leave.
Now! [GASPING IN FEAR.]
Okay.
[TAPS BOX FIRMLY.]
Good.
[GULPS, PANTING.]
And clean yourself up.
That's a $1,000 duvet set that you've just ruined.
[DOOR BANGS OPEN.]
I've been calling you for two fuckin' hours Woof, woof! Well, I'm here now, your retriever's back.
You fuckin' happy? Malcolm, uh I gotta ask you something, and I'm seriously What? What? Are you mentally stable? You know, for the first time in my life, I've got complete clarity, actually.
Oh.
You eat dinner? What the fuck are you talking about? - Since when do you give a shit - It's a simple fucking question.
Yes, I ate! I can I can feed myself.
I've been taking care of myself since I was 16.
Oh, that's what this is about.
That you know, What, you want to have it out? You got no idea what it was like! What, you think I didn't want you here? No.
'Cause all it would have taken was a phone call and a fuckin' plane ticket, but you was too busy playing Uncle Cam.
Your mother knew I was never gonna marry her.
Yeah, blame my mother.
No, she knew from the start Look, see, this has fuck-all to do with the arrangement you had with my mum.
Yeah? Neither one of you asked me.
"Malcolm Malcolm, what do you want to do?" I didn't get a say, did I? You turned out all right How the fuckin' way then? You don't know me.
[SCOFFS.]
You weren't there what to protect me.
[SIGHS.]
First time I went to jail, I swore that it'd be easy.
Turns out I was a bit of a delicacy, me.
Oh, Jesus Christ, I didn't Yeah, not so tough, but I put up a good fight I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I No! You don't get to do that! You don't get to just What do you want me to say here? I just want to know why.
Why? Why I weren't good enough for you? Why did them fucking Greens get to grow up with you? Why'd you put them over me? No, it wasn't like that No, it was like that.
For me, it was exactly like that.
See, that's why the arrangement with your whore never made me feel any better Don't speak about your mother like that.
Or what? I'm warning you, Malcolm.
- You're warning me? - Yeah.
What do you want to call her? A lady? Mother.
Mother.
She just let you fuck her Oh And walk off.
There's nothing else to call that but a fucking whore.
[BLOW SLAPS.]
Come on.
[GUN COCKS.]
You're fucking crazy.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh Go on and pull the trigger Pull the fuckin' trigger, it's the last chance you're gonna get.
So twice in two days? Hmm, am I gonna need a restraining order, do you think? Maybe.
No, I I don't know, I just had to let you know that this isn't a drive-by, not for me.
That's sweet.
I am in your debt.
[GLASSES CLINK.]
For? My brother.
You know, uh ever since you got him out, we've gotten closer than I ever could have imagined.
What changed? I don't know, I mean, growing up, I was always jealous of him.
Jealous about how much my dad would teach him.
You know, I hated him for it, but you know, I can see now that it wasn't his fault.
He didn't have a choice.
My dad just told him what to do, and he had to do it.
But Freddy does have a gift.
He always has.
What about you? Hmm? What was your gift? I got to take care of him.
I can see that you really care about him.
Yeah, I do.
I mean, it's scary to think that I could have lost him for a long time.
Well, if there's one thing that I've learned in my line of work, it's that you have to hit rock bottom to turn things around.
Well cheers to the view on the way up.
[.]
And this fuckin' nerd, probably the president of the not-getting-pussy club comes up to me.
He wants to do, like, a duel or some shit, and so I come back Boom! Hit him so hard, fucker was unconscious before he hit the ground.
Bam! [MALCOLM LAUGHS.]
Oh, fuckin' hell.
You got a problem? You really should have a better opinion of yourself, love.
What the fuck did you just say? Those tits, mouth I'm betting on the inside feels like velvet Definitely deserves to suck a dick much prettier than his, hey? [GLASS SHATTERING.]
[LAUGHING.]
I'm leaving, I'm leaving.
Hey, boy! Where the fuck do you think you're going? One two, three, four, five, six [LAUGHING.]
[LAUGHING.]
Six and a half 'cause of you [BARTENDER SHOUTING.]
Whoa, whoa! Whoa! Fuck you Hold him! Hold him! Hold him down, hold him down! Hmm.
The new packaging looks great.
Eggplant parm? Your favorite.
Uh-huh, yeah I'm too old to be bribed with food, but thanks for trying.
Open the box.
It's not a bribe, it's a thank you.
Uh-huh.
Oh, my God.
What do you think? All right.
Now, this is a bribe.
[LAUGHING.]
Thank you.
Try it on.
All right.
[MALCOLM.]
: The beauty of diamonds is that they pass from hand to hand, generation to generation evil in one life, good in the next.
It's the people holding them that are all fucked up.
[KNOCKS LIGHTLY.]
Get the fuck inside.
I don't think that Jake knows where the diamonds are.
Is that information or belief? It's more of an instinct.
He's a good guy.
Jesus Christ, you're falling for him.
You have one job.
Get me some real answers.
Now get the fuck out of my truck.
[TIRES SQUEALING.]
[MALCOLM.]
: Now as for that king, one day, the prophecy came true.
His country was invaded, he was burnt at the stake, and his diamonds, well they got passed on.
It sucked for His Royal Highness, but if you ask me, I'd still rather be the king in the castle than a pauper in the street.
[DISTANT CRASH AND SQUEAL OF BRAKES.]
: I'm gonna put in an offer for your store.
175 grand, and I stop him from cutting your fuckin' head off.
I just came from Westhuizen.
They agreed to you running their interests in L.
A.
They're sending me with you.
Don't you see I can't leave here until everything's settled? I am helping her file for divorce.
She's not gonna be your wife much longer.
I'm going into business on my own, and I want top quality.
Your diamonds are the best.
That's best damn rough I've ever seen.
I'll bring you the money myself.
I promise.
[.]
[MALCOLM.]
: There's a story my dad used to tell me, about this king back in the day, had all these diamonds, wealthy as shit, real rich tosser, way impressed with himself.
But this king was really an insecure wanker, as most kings are.
So one day, he asks his advisor, "Who's the luckiest bloke in the world?" And the wise old bastard thinks, then answers, "There was a farmer I once knew, reckon he'd be the one.
" King looks at him like, "How's a farmer without one gem luckier than me, when I've got all the bloody diamonds in the world? His advisor says, "Diamonds are fleeting.
"You can't own em' no more than you can hold the light they reflect in your hands.
" When his diamonds are gone, then he'll know if his life is worth a shite or not.
[.]
[.]
[GASPS AND MOANS OF PASSION.]
[SIGHING IN SATISFACTION.]
Welcome back.
It's good to be back.
You know, we should order from Prime Pizza I bet they deliver here.
You know, we could open a bottle of wine, hmm? Before round two maybe? How does that sound? Hello? All right, look, I'm sorry that I didn't call sooner.
I should have.
It's been a hectic few days.
It's all good.
Okay? I'm okay with this.
This being? [CELL PHONE BUZZES.]
Um This being a drive-by hook-up? [GIGGLING.]
[.]
It's a bit early to be leaving, innit? D.
J.
Bee doesn't spin for another half an hour.
You're gonna miss all the fun.
Says the guy sitting alone on the hood of his car drinking a six pack.
Drinks Mm-hmm 15 quid.
One drink in there, 15 quid.
That's classy.
Get piss drunk, then go inside and troll for leftovers? No.
Not when the main course has arrived.
[WRYLY.]
Wow What part of England are you from? Who said I'm from England? I'm from Beverly Hills.
I spend summers visiting my dad.
It's not summer now.
Well, this is more a return engagement.
Cool.
Well, I know where there's a bitchin' after hours party.
"Bitchin'.
.
" okay.
[CHUCKLES.]
"Bitchin'.
" Do you wanna join? As tough as it is to say no, I was kinda having a bit of a "me" moment just then.
Just soaking up the vibes.
I'm gonna watch the sunrise.
There will be another one of those tomorrow, I heard, but I'm more like the eclipse that happened.
Oh, you mean you only last two minutes, eh? But people are still talking about it.
[CHUCKLES.]
Good one.
Look, I've got loads of lost time to make up for, but I'll be seeing you.
[.]
Seriously? A fidget spinner? Yeah.
What? It's medicinal.
They developed these for people with ADD.
I don't think it's working.
Eleazar call you back? Fuck.
Figured we'd just go over there when we're done here.
He must have heard about the liquidation.
Him and Dad go back, like, 40 years, so he'll cut our diamond.
Well, he better, or we might as well have died in that fuckin' jungle.
Help you boys? Uh, yes.
How much is this one here? Classic, bro.
Can't let it go for a dime under 1,200.
Meaning you pay us? [LAUGHS.]
So you're the one with the sense of humor.
How much for that one? Seven grand.
All right, well, how about this, how about we give you 800 for it, and then we won't tell the LAPD you're running a chop shop for Chuy Ramirez in the back.
When you put it that way we got a deal.
Awesome.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Mom, what are you doing here? Well, it's Willow's first day in her new school.
Yeah, yeah how did you even know that? Well, we've been catching up.
Who? My granddaughter and I.
You don't get to do that.
Okay, you can't just come here like this.
Well, I called and nobody answered.
I know.
Why did you bring those? I stopped eating Old Fashioned's when I was, like, 16.
[CHUCKLES.]
That's 'cause you porked out on them.
These are for Willow! All right, Mom, let's go.
Another time, all right No, I'm not going, no.
Come on, we'll talk about this later Wait a minute! Did you think I was just going to give you a boatload of cash, and then slip into the background again? One can hope.
I have some errands to run, then I'm having a lunch, and then I am going to see my granddaughter.
I don't know if you're breaking my balls here, David, but let me be the first to tell ya, I ain't in a fucking jokey mood.
Mm-mm.
See, I would flip flop the couch with this piece here.
More, uh, feng shui if you ask me.
But I didn't.
I don't give a fuck if you have to get the nine justices of the Supreme Court.
That bitch gets nothing.
Now, get it fucking done.
Fuck.
Fuck What the fuck is this, a poofters' convention? [LAUGHS.]
Ah, you wait till you see what we've done with the showroom.
So, look Mexico City yellow, or Jamaica flat green? Oh, I'm glad it amuses you.
You know, maybe you should talk to Sarah.
You see, because if this divorce goes through, half this shit is hers.
And what is it with you with these fucking burgers? It's not even 9:30 in the fucking morning, for Christ sake.
Jesus Christ I love 'em.
They don't taste like this back home.
What am I gonna do? [SIGHING.]
When I was 15, I was going out with this girl, Sheri.
Long story short, I gave her the clap.
Oh, that's nice.
[CHUCKLES.]
All right, I know Obviously, she freaked out, yeah? I didn't know what to do, and Mom told me, "Go and talk to her.
"Make it seem like your problems are worse than hers.
" It worked.
No, I get it.
I get it.
So, uh I kill her with kindness.
[.]
Now, we have a lot of the five-carat plus, am I correct? So, we're going to sell them for premium, and we're going to drive up the price.
Are we clear? Everybody? Good.
Oh.
Mr.
Sinder.
We saved you a small seat at the end of the table We need to talk in private.
Now.
You don't get to decide when we talk.
How dare you terminate executives from this company without my approval? These were good people, not to mention the cost of their severance packages.
They weren't doing their job properly, so we needed a change.
Oh, I couldn't agree more, and as soon as I speak to Westhuizen, I promise you that change is coming.
Well, after that small interruption, let's continue.
If you turn to the consolidated cash flow, you will find that the figures are significantly lower than they should be Okay [ENGINE REVS.]
Whoa.
Shit If you're spending a grand a month on a car, you really ought to know how to use it.
Well, I got us here, didn't I? You have everything you need? You ready to go? Oh, come on, Will, don't do this now.
- You agreed to give it a try - No.
You did when you enrolled me for this school without even asking.
Williams is number two in the country.
35% go on " Go on to attend an ivy league school of their choice.
" Yeah, I know, Mom.
No need for a website, they have you.
You obviously have no idea what this could mean for your future.
It means I'll have no high school reunion to go to because I'll have no friends.
Your friends aren't going to abandon you just because you don't see them every day.
Or ever.
I want you to have opportunity, Will.
Opportunity that I didn't have.
I saw what Gramma Diane gave you, okay? Growing up like that couldn't have been that bad.
Money doesn't solve every problem.
It buys you a lot of "kiss my ass".
Well What do you think you're doing? Walking you in.
What am I, six? Bye.
Have a good day.
Hello, Mama Bear.
Cori I was hoping I would see you.
Willow excited to start? Yeah.
You know, it's It's an adjustment, but she's so grateful for what you did.
Oh, it was nothing.
We are appreciative.
Oh, this is so unnecessary.
[GASPS IN DELIGHT.]
Oh, they're beautiful They're vintage, Art Deco.
They suit you.
You designed these? No, I'm more of a curator.
Shara! Come check these out.
Aren't they precious? [GASPING.]
Love 'em.
Meet our own Paloma Picasso, - Ava Green.
- Hi.
- How are you? - Good.
Her daughter, Willow, just started today.
You know what we need to do? We need to throw you a trunk show.
Get the word out.
Oh you don't have to do that.
Oh, we can do it at my place.
- Get Joan to cater.
- Joan? Joan's on Third.
[LAUGHING.]
Shalom aleichem, you old bastard.
Es gait gut, a dank.
Ikh hob dikh shoyn lung night gezen.
I I have no idea what you just said, but God, it's good to see you.
It is good to see the both of you, looking so well.
Yes, well, you know, being near the equator will do that to you.
Ah, South America.
Explains the visit.
We have the most amazing stone.
I'm talking 500, 600 carats Whoa.
Uh, can we assume the usual rate? For many years, your father helped put a roof over my head.
10% for the Greens, always [CAM.]
: What a surprise.
S-Surprised would be a word.
Uh-huh.
Glad to see you back in the, uh the land of the upright, considering your your injury there, Jake.
You know what's funny, Cam, I did not receive a card.
Oh, no? Well, you know, you get to my age, and, uh you don't like thinking about hospitals and, uh cemeteries.
So what brings you to my shop? Wait your shop? Yeah.
Oh, and, uh, my old friend here, he made a mistake.
It's 10% for family, and you made it perfectly clear that, uh, I'm no longer family, so I gotta charge you 25%.
So, if the diamond's as good as you say it is, you've entrusted it to the right man.
Hey, Pop? [CHUCKLING.]
Show me the stone.
It's not here.
Aw come on, Freddy, let the dog see the rabbit, eh? You know, with everything that's happened, you can't be too careful.
You got no stone.
All you got is a fuckin' story.
Well, Cam, at 25%, you will never fucking know.
[CHUCKLING.]
No? Hey, these kids, 10%, eh? Are they fuckin' kidding? [SIGHING.]
I thought they weren't gonna make it back from Venezuela.
Yeah, well, life is full of surprises.
What's up? They got something big.
That's why they came to the best.
No, the way Freddy was looking at me with them eyes I've never seen him so focused.
It's called being sober.
No, no I know these boys.
You want me to look after them? Yeah, um check out where they're shacked up, and Malc, uh, you know, behave yourself.
None of this fuckin' kung fooey shit.
[SIGHS HEAVILY.]
[FREDDY.]
: How the hell did Cam take over Cy's shop? I'm guessing it wasn't pretty.
Okay, so Eli's out.
Who's next? [ELEVATOR DINGS.]
[SIGHING.]
Well, Hyman, but he's got Alzheimer's.
I heard the poor bastard cleaved a brisket into a princess cut.
Oh, shit, what about that guy, um, Dad used to play pinochle with? Oh, Saul.
Saul Burley? No way, not for a rough this size.
No way.
All right, you know who we could try? Laser Mike.
What? Fuckin' Millennial.
No, he's all about computers.
I don't know, I've heard his new software has been cutting some pretty big roughs.
Yeah, yeah.
He's got no heart.
We don't need a fuckin' hug, Freddy.
We need someone who can cut the size of our rough, that's it.
Well, he works out of his loft, so we could keep it discreet.
- There you go.
- [CELL PHONE RINGS.]
One sec.
Aw, hello, Willow.
Mom's gone uber bitch on me.
Wow, easy, No, I'm at Williams, and [SIGHING HEAVILY.]
erudite bullshit aside, this is not the school for me, and you said you'd help.
I know, I said I will talk to your mom, and I will.
When? This afternoon.
[SIGHS.]
Thanks.
I love you, Dad.
I love you, too.
What does "erudite" mean? "Erudite"? Uh, it's like real smart.
Isn't that what you want in a school? Well, it's also means kind of being a dick about it.
All right.
Okay, so if I ask you to go see Laser Mike on your own, you will keep it business? I'll try.
Hard.
Okay.
I'll see you at Dad's later? Yeah.
Keep it erudite.
The trade routes facilitate a reduction in costs, but you've got to protect the stones.
Here.
Oh, Jackson, "terminated" means get the fuck out.
You know, it's funny, Westhuizen agrees Jackson is a valuable member of the team, and were not pleased to hear of his dismissal.
Go.
You talked to them.
Without my knowledge? Well, you fired people without mine.
Well, perhaps we are more alike than I thought.
Perhaps.
So, how are you? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Yeah, so far so good.
I'm a free man.
You're doin' great.
Good.
I'm glad I'm glad I project that.
[LAUGHS.]
It's a journey.
Every step builds on the one before it, and you are ready for the next step.
I, uh Oh, really? "Fearless moral inventory.
" You're gonna write your life story, my friend.
Okay, which part? All of it.
The good, the bad Up till now, the world has always decided who you are, and now it's Freddy Green's turn.
Honesty is the key.
One of these columns is gonna be a lot longer than the other, I'll tell you that.
It's not gonna be easy, I'm not gonna lie to you.
You gotta uncover those demons.
Tell the truth.
Quick question what's the world record for the word "vomit" written on one of these things? Pride, lust, gluttony, my cup runneth over, too.
Let me ask you a question, Reardon.
Tessa? You hired her? Everybody deserves a second chance, Freddy.
[.]
I love a girl with Daddy issues.
Take it out.
Excuse me? The rough? That's what you're here for, right? Uh, yeah, I'll just see Mike first.
Laser there's a prick here won't give me his stone.
It's a prick named Freddy Green! You'll want to mention that.
Let him in, Ash.
There you go.
Thanks, baby.
[SLAP.]
Freddy Green insert idiomatic expression of unlikeliness here.
I'm not here by choice, if that's what you mean.
You want a drink? Is that it? Aw, straight to business, I like that.
The YAG laser.
It uses infrared light rather than visible.
Looks like a fuckin' refrigerator.
Cuts the stone with twice the accuracy in a tenth the time any human could.
Yeah, and none of the soul.
"Soul"? Yeah, well, the soul didn't buy me my car.
So, what do you got? Yeah Oof.
Don't fuckin' drop it.
That is very pretty.
[MOTION SENSOR BEEPS.]
[MOTION SENSOR BEEPS.]
Welcome to the 21st Century, old man.
Poof.
Here's your optimum yield.
Yeah Yeah, but you know, I was thinking maybe a radiant pear-shaped would work better.
Yeah, well, me and the YAG were thinking that you're wrong.
Just punch it in, asshole.
See? People are fallible.
Computers are not.
Yeah.
Now, let's see what this bad boy is worth.
[FREDDY.]
: Remember that time Dad made me cut that rock.
It was a great big blue.
12 years old working a real stone, on a foot wheel, with wooden tools.
Your rock's worth 10 million plus.
Shit.
[MOTION SENSOR BEEPS.]
Freddy, what the hell are you doing? Yo, Freddy, what are you doing? What my dad would have wanted me to.
[GUN COCKS.]
Malcolm I'll give you a hint, it's not here.
Looks like someone's all grown up.
Give me your gun.
It's only you, Jake.
I didn't bring one.
[CHUCKLES MIRTHLESSLY.]
Bullshit.
Lift up your shirt.
Turn around.
All this before "hello.
" Can't a brother just drop by and see an old mate? Not without knocking, no.
That hurts.
A lot has changed since you last were here.
Yeah, no shit.
There's a bloody train that runs all the way from downtown to the beach now.
When did that happen? Did you come here to discuss urban development? If so, you should take a look at the 405.
It will drive you nuts.
Oh, yeah? You really shouldn't have come here, Malcolm.
Oh, is that a threat? No, not really.
Just advice.
From someone who's survived so far.
Survived? Must have been rough, huh? Big fuck off house in Hancock Park, hot and cold running water, pussy on tap, Aw, mate's fuckin' strugglin', weren't ya? If you think it's been easy for me, you have been misinformed.
Come to think of it I did hear that you and Freddy had a run of rough luck.
Ah, no, no, no, luck's got nothing to do with it.
It's the nature of this business.
It makes you do things that you never thought you were capable of.
You got that look, Jakey.
I know it.
You've seen death by your hand.
I've done whatever it takes to protect my family.
[SIGHS.]
See, that's the difference between me and you I don't have a family.
If you've come here looking for some happily ever after, Cam ain't it.
Okay? Believe me, I know.
Well, at least you had a chance at it.
See you around.
Yeah.
[CAM.]
: "Insidious.
" It's a 12-pointer.
How you doin'? Hello.
Yes, my love, it's really me.
I told you I'd come.
You smell like cigar smoke.
[CHUCKLES.]
Come here.
No foolin' my gal, huh? I want a divorce.
I want you out of my life.
That's Ava talking, that's not you.
I've learned a lot here about myself and about you.
I'm a good person.
Yes.
I deserve a good life.
Yes, you do, and that's what I want to give you.
No.
No.
Easy.
Easy I know what you're doing, and it's not going to work.
You're not the only one who lost something.
Oh, stop it.
I love you, Sarah.
I always have.
I just want things to be the way they were, you know? Like when we first met.
I want you to leave now.
Fine! Fine.
I got something I wanna tell you.
Something you should know I killed Isaac.
I killed your brother with my own hands, and I got away with it.
If you take out divorce proceedings, I will kill you.
So you sleep with one eye open, Sarah, 'cause the angel of death is upon you.
Freddy I never said thank you for letting me stay here before everything happened.
Good to see you.
It's good to see you.
Come on in.
Yup.
Thanks.
What? You look? Sober? Yeah.
You look good.
Thanks.
I'm happy for you.
Well, somebody ought to be.
There's a whole bunch of coke dealers and liquor stores that are really hurting right now because of it.
Place looks nice.
It's got a woman's touch, it needed that.
Yeah.
Thanks.
I didn't really do much.
Yeah, still, it feels better.
Did Jake notice? - Jake? - Yeah.
No, he hasn't seen it.
Is he not here? Is he supposed to be? Uh, well, maybe I have it wrong.
I haven't seen him since the hospital.
Right.
Right, you, uh, you weren't here when we What? Jake thought he knew where the Holocaust Diamond might be.
Right.
So wait a minute, were you guys in the house when I wasn't here? There's-there's a key behind the planter out front.
Well, there won't be now.
Yeah, I told Jake you weren't exactly What? I said you wouldn't be cool with it.
You were right.
Yeah.
So, uh, why are you meeting Jake here? Well, Pop has some old books downstairs.
We were hoping to go through them, if that's all right.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, that's that's fine.
Tell Jake I'm downstairs when he gets here? Sure.
Oh, and, uh, tell him I've figured it out.
What's that? The future.
Thanks for coming.
I've missed enough moments of your life already.
[CHUCKLES.]
I brought you something.
What is this? Oh, it's a tradition of sorts.
It's our family bible.
I'm not really, uh religious.
Oh, but this particular book is something much bigger.
It's our family history.
Since 1884 everything is recorded in here.
Every birth.
Every death.
Oh, I'm in there.
Of course, you are, sweetheart.
I remember the day you were born.
I went for a swim in the sea, and the water was so warm, it was just like a bathtub.
It was perfect.
[CHUCKLES.]
I don't want to change schools.
I'm a big believer in free will, but I also believe that there's one captain to every ship.
You're siding with her.
Do you see this list? Some people see names, I see a dynasty.
Every generation headed by a queen a matriarch, looking out for her own.
If she wants you to go to this school, then she has her reasons.
[ROAR AND HONK OF TRAFFIC.]
Do you remember when we was little, and Isaac wouldn't let Freddy and Jake have soda, but you would? Jake would always, always just piss himself with worry that his old man would find out.
Uh I'm just wondering whether this walk down memory lane has anything to do with the job I gave you.
Jake was a proper little pussy then.
[CHUCKLING.]
Yeah.
Credit to him, though he's his own man now.
You spoke to him? Yeah, I thought it was only right I go and say hello.
Why did you become stupid all of a sudden? Stupid? Now he knows you're here.
So what? I'm still the dirty little secret.
No We've got a plan to stick to.
I'm thinking maybe you didn't even want 'em dead in the first place.
Malcolm, you need to keep your head.
You know, we've got a lot of shit to do here, and I need you with me.
Malcolm Hey! [BOTTLE SHATTERS.]
[SIGHS.]
What the fuck's wrong with you? I just realized Isaac was right.
Soda's bad for me.
Always was.
[FRONT DOOR CLOSES.]
[SARCASTICALLY.]
Oh, please come on in.
We need to talk.
Yes, we do.
Willow called me today.
Oh, she ran to Daddy for help.
[CHUCKLES.]
Maybe Daddy agrees with her.
Since when do you care about academics? I care.
She's staying there.
And that's the end of the discussion, huh? It's a better school.
It's a better education.
Please tell me how the fuck we're going to pay for it.
"We" are not.
Are you Are you working? I am.
For who? Me.
[CHUCKLES.]
It's time I relied on myself, don't you think? That is a lot of product.
How'd you pay for it? I got a loan.
So, that's why the "for sale" sign is gone out front, right? Yeah.
Yes.
I'm buying the house, Jake.
Which means we need to set up some boundaries.
You can't just come into the house whenever you want, like you did with Freddy.
How do you even know He's in the basement.
Dammit.
I'm changing the locks, and you won't be getting a key.
You're right.
You're right, and I'm sorry.
It's just you bought my dad's house, and you bought all this product.
How big of a loan did you actually get? How did you get it Like I said Boundaries.
Okay, so you were right.
About what? Ava is not happy about us coming here.
No.
So, how'd it go at Mike's? Uh, well, he's still a prick.
No doubt.
He's got a new girl, she's kind of a prick, too.
That reminds me, I just ran into Malcolm.
Who? Cam's Malcolm? Yeah, and he was wearing a beautiful 6.
54 carat Asscher-cut diamond stud.
Okay? The very one that I found in Tel Aviv.
Cam robbed the store.
Yup.
Huh.
Fuck me.
All right So, is he going to cut our diamond or what? No.
He said no? I said no.
Oh, Freddy [SLAPS TABLETOP.]
How do you say "Booya" in Russian? The Anastasia diamond.
What about it? We're going to sell it.
Yeah, no one's seen that diamond for over a hundred years.
Yeah.
I can change that.
I can cut our rough to match it.
I saw it when I was at Mike's.
It's in there.
It's what this fuckin' rock wants to be.
You remember what Pop used to say? "It's not the diamond, it's the story.
" People will line up to buy a piece of history.
We'll make De Beers look like fuckin' pishers.
The cutting wheel is right there.
It's begging me.
It's begging me.
But you haven't cut a stone in years, though.
I mean, years Yes.

The fat-tailed Arabian scorpion is one of the most venomous creatures in the world.
One of the few that can kill a human being in a single sting.
They are nocturnal by habit, hiding in plain view during the day, and then striking at night, capturing their prey in their powerful claws.
So keep still.
They are indigenous to Africa, so it's very rare to find one quite so far from home and yet, here she is.
I swear, I'll do whatever you say.
Leave.
Now! [GASPING IN FEAR.]
Okay.
[TAPS BOX FIRMLY.]
Good.
[GULPS, PANTING.]
And clean yourself up.
That's a $1,000 duvet set that you've just ruined.

You fuckin' happy? Malcolm, uh I gotta ask you something, and I'm seriously What? What? Are you mentally stable? You know, for the first time in my life, I've got complete clarity, actually.
Oh.
You eat dinner? What the fuck are you talking about? - Since when do you give a shit - It's a simple fucking question.
Yes, I ate! I can I can feed myself.
I've been taking care of myself since I was 16.
Oh, that's what this is about.
That you know, What, you want to have it out? You got no idea what it was like! What, you think I didn't want you here? No.
'Cause all it would have taken was a phone call and a fuckin' plane ticket, but you was too busy playing Uncle Cam.
Your mother knew I was never gonna marry her.
Yeah, blame my mother.
No, she knew from the start Look, see, this has fuck-all to do with the arrangement you had with my mum.
Yeah? Neither one of you asked me.
"Malcolm Malcolm, what do you want to do?" I didn't get a say, did I? You turned out all right How the fuckin' way then? You don't know me.
[SCOFFS.]
You weren't there what to protect me.
[SIGHS.]
First time I went to jail, I swore that it'd be easy.
Turns out I was a bit of a delicacy, me.
Oh, Jesus Christ, I didn't Yeah, not so tough, but I put up a good fight I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I No! You don't get to do that! You don't get to just What do you want me to say here? I just want to know why.
Why? Why I weren't good enough for you? Why did them fucking Greens get to grow up with you? Why'd you put them over me? No, it wasn't like that No, it was like that.
For me, it was exactly like that.
See, that's why the arrangement with your whore never made me feel any better Don't speak about your mother like that.
Or what? I'm warning you, Malcolm.
- You're warning me? - Yeah.
What do you want to call her? A lady? Mother.
Mother.
She just let you fuck her Oh And walk off.
There's nothing else to call that but a fucking whore.
[BLOW SLAPS.]
Come on.
[GUN COCKS.]
You're fucking crazy.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh Go on and pull the trigger Pull the fuckin' trigger, it's the last chance you're gonna get.
So twice in two days? Hmm, am I gonna need a restraining order, do you think? Maybe.
No, I I don't know, I just had to let you know that this isn't a drive-by, not for me.
That's sweet.
I am in your debt.
[GLASSES CLINK.]
For? My brother.
You know, uh ever since you got him out, we've gotten closer than I ever could have imagined.
What changed? I don't know, I mean, growing up, I was always jealous of him.
Jealous about how much my dad would teach him.
You know, I hated him for it, but you know, I can see now that it wasn't his fault.
He didn't have a choice.
My dad just told him what to do, and he had to do it.
But Freddy does have a gift.
He always has.
What about you? Hmm? What was your gift? I got to take care of him.
I can see that you really care about him.
Yeah, I do.
I mean, it's scary to think that I could have lost him for a long time.
Well, if there's one thing that I've learned in my line of work, it's that you have to hit rock bottom to turn things around.
Well cheers to the view on the way up.
[.]
And this fuckin' nerd, probably the president of the not-getting-pussy club comes up to me.
He wants to do, like, a duel or some shit, and so I come back Boom! Hit him so hard, fucker was unconscious before he hit the ground.
Bam! [MALCOLM LAUGHS.]
Oh, fuckin' hell.
You got a problem? You really should have a better opinion of yourself, love.

[LAUGHING.]

Eggplant parm? Your favorite.

[MALCOLM.]
: The beauty of diamonds is that they pass from hand to hand, generation to generation evil in one life, good in the next.
It's the people holding them that are all fucked up.
[KNOCKS LIGHTLY.]
Get the fuck inside.
I don't think that Jake knows where the diamonds are.
Is that information or belief? It's more of an instinct.
He's a good guy.
Jesus Christ, you're falling for him.
You have one job.
Get me some real answers.
Now get the fuck out of my truck.
[TIRES SQUEALING.]
[MALCOLM.]
: Now as for that king, one day, the prophecy came true.
His country was invaded, he was burnt at the stake, and his diamonds, well they got passed on.
It sucked for His Royal Highness, but if you ask me, I'd still rather be the king in the castle than a pauper in the street.
[DISTANT CRASH AND SQUEAL OF BRAKES.]
