- [Morgan] What, what do you mean you can't pay them off?

You've been winning for 10 years.

- Yeah, sure.

45 hours ago I was a millionaire.

Even though I've banned by every casino

from Hong Kong to Nicaragua,

I could still pick up money anytime I wanted to,

you know, float poker games,

slots at the airport, lottery.

- So what happened? - You know what happened.

You showed up.

My last 48 hours started

and my luck's gone south.

- Duke, you ducked outta me for a whole day.

Tell me you didn't lose everything.

(Morgan sighs)

- Hey, hey, you must get money from the Devil, right?

I mean, you got that beautiful bike, that big TV.

- Forget it. - Why not?

You gotta hate the son of a bitch, right?

Why not use his money to bail me out?

It'd be poetic justice.

- It's pointless.

Even if I paid off the mobsters that are chasing you,

it wouldn't save your soul.

And if you don't take care of that

in the next three hours,

your IOUs won't matter

because the loan sharks can't follow you into hell.

- Well, I guess that's some consolation.

- It is unless they're the ones who got the bad luck.

- No.

You said it'd be somebody close to me, something personal.

- I said it'd be something painful.

Is there someone close to you

you haven't told me about?

Someone who's been hurt?

Who lives here in the city?

(tense music)

All right, let's go.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

(tense music)

- Look, I took out a second mortgage

on my mother's house, okay, behind her back.

I forged her signature and I lost it all.

That's why I made my deal

because I was so desperate.

But, once I started to win,

I came back and I offered to pay off the house,

but she wouldn't even speak to me.

And then I got mad.

I was like, "Ma, do you have any idea

what I sacrificed for you?"

I don't know.

I haven't,

I haven't talked to her in years.

But that's why I came back here.

I swear to God.

I just, I got distracted.

- All right, we'll go see your mom and-

(Morgan grunts) (suspenseful music)

- Oh my God.

Jasper, no.

What have you done?

- Sorry about your friend

but we need to talk in private.

- Jasper.

No, please don't.

- Manny wants his money, Duke.

150 large.

You got it on you?

- Uh, no.

I can get it.

I swear to God, Jasper.

- Well, here's the thing.

I'm not really religious.

If I come back without the money,

Manny's gonna take it out on me, the messenger.

(Morgan gasps)

You hear me? You understand?

So it's either you or me.

- No, no.

I got, I got it.

It's, it's, we just gotta,

we just gotta go to my hotel

and it's in the safe.

Look, we used to work the numbers.

Trust me.

(Jasper grunting) (dramatic music)

(Jasper screams)

- You're gonna leave him alone, do you understand?

- I can't.

I gotta bring back the money.

(Jasper grunts)

You tell Duke he killed me.

I'm a dead man now and he killed me.

(soft tense music)

- Where's Jillian?

- She's working, Hank.

You'll have to wait till she gets home

to slap her around.

- Hey, I need some cash.

- I can't. I need it for change.

- I only want 20. Come on.

- Why don't you go beg on the street

like other people?

- Why don't you get the hell out of my face?

just give me the money.

- I'm working a double shift, Hank.

I'll give it to you tonight.

- Just give me the money.

I'm sure your friend will help you out, won't you?

- God, he's such a bastard.

Look, the offer still stands, Jillian.

You and Steffi can come stay with me any time.

- Thanks.

But you know what happened last time.

- Thought you can hide out here.

You have a kid,

you have responsibilities!

- Anyway, it's not like that now.

- He's not hitting you?

- No, not anymore.

- Thank God for that.

- No, it was better when he was.

- Why?

- He used to hit me because,

because I got in the way,

but I stopped, you know,

getting in the way.

So he stopped hitting me.

- Getting in the way of what?

- Steffi.

- He's hitting her?

Then what?

- I can't stop it.

I tried, but I can't.

(intense music)

- So when are you gonna decide?

I mean, you can't live at home forever.

I just think it would be good for Maya

to have her little brother around.

Not that you're little.

Yeah, I talked to her a few days ago.

She sounded really weird.

Actually, I was gonna tell her about us.

I mean, I feel like I'm lying to her

by keeping it a secret.

But she seems so freaked out.

And did she really think Morgan killed her sponsor?

It just feels strange to me, you know,

after my sister being so obsessed with him

and now Maya.

- I don't know. It's weird.

He seemed like such a good guy.

I don't know why he'd do that to her.

- Because he's a guy.

- What are you saying?

That all guys suck?

- I used to think so.

(soft music)

But maybe there are exceptions.

So, I think you should move here

and fix my life.

I'll make you dinner once a week

and breakfast every now and then.

(Taylor laughing)

(soft tense music)

(intense music)

(soft tense music continues)

- What was I supposed to do?

Dad's having sex with her.

- I can't stop it.

(intense music)

(soft music)

(phone chimes)

- Duke.

Where are you?

(soft music continues)

- You know what the worst mistake you can make is?

Forgetting that time is short.

I have made that same mistake

over and over again my whole life.

I always said I was gonna come back

after the big win, you know, make it up to her.

Finally pay off the mortgage on the house.

I was gonna make her so proud of me, but-

- Your mother's dead?

- Three years ago.

I never even knew.

- Then it was Jasper.

I guess he was telling the truth

about it being either you or him.

- I'm sorry, man.

I'm sorry.

I was afraid.

I know I should've stayed.

- Even if he's still alive,

we don't have time to find him.

- But what can I do?

How can I save myself?

But you said there was always a chance.

- There is,

but you have to see it,

you have to take it, and you ran.

- But, but, but that's not fair.

If you hadn't stopped him,

he would've killed me.

I didn't have the money, Morgan.

- I'm sorry.

- But no!

(people screaming)

No.

Is that him?

Is it time?

No!

You gotta help me!

No!

You gotta help me, you gotta do something!

- I can't!

It's too late.

(screaming continues)

(dramatic music)

Maya?

Maya?

Maya!

- Look at her go.

(hip-hop music) ♪ Get the girl ♪

- Better sign the bitch up for the Olympics

before she goes pro.

- She saw it.

She saw the portal.

- Yeah, son.

That soul was like point blank

all up in the face like blah!

- But it's impossible.

No one can see the portal except me and the client.

Those are the rules.

- Well, actually there is a little loophole.

- What?

- It's not just the poor sucker going to hell

who can see the portal.

Any client can see it.

They just hardly ever crossed paths at the big moment.

(sirens wailing)

(knocking on door)

- [Morgan] Maya, it's me.

Maya, open the door.

- What was that?

What the hell was that?

- Open the door and we'll talk about it.

You don't have a choice anymore.

You have to talk to me.

Look, I don't understand this.

I don't understand why you didn't tell me.

- Tell you what?

- Look, stop, all right?

Stop it!

You can't keep any more secrets from me.

- I don't know what's happening.

- You have to tell me everything.

- I don't know what you want to know.

Please don't hurt me.

- I'm not gonna hurt you.

I wanna help you.

- When you went to meet that man,

I followed you.

What was it?

What was that thing in the van?

What did it do to him?

- That was the portal.

- The portal?

The portal to what?

- To hell.

I know.

Nobody ever imagines what it's gonna be like.

They can't know what it's gonna be like

when they make their deal.

- Deal? - Maya, stop it!

I know.

It's time for you to tell me the truth.

- Black man in the closet! (Maya screams)

(Devil laughs)

- Get outta here.

- Oh, no. You need me, dear boy.

You are really messing with this girl's head.

- This is a dream.

You're that rapper, Core D.

You're dead.

- The real Core D. is dead.

I took his soul the weekend we met.

- Took his soul?

- My last one.

I don't collect souls anymore.

- She's giving it to you straight, man.

She don't remember.

So I guess that means

we'll have to ask you one last time.

Do you wanna know?

(intense music)

- Do you wanna know?

- Oh yes, you've seen this before.

Even took a little bite once,

but not enough to get the whole picture.

- Who are you?

- The answer to your prayers.

Oh, hush now.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I mean, I am the one who kept you alive, for God's sake.

Actually, for my sake.

Twice.

- Twice?

- Well, the second time doesn't really count, I guess.

I mean, it's all part of the warranty.

(Maya gasps)

You remember this?

The day your mama took this picture?

The day before all the nastiness started?

No, you don't.

(Maya gasps)

Ah, yes.

That was you.

The real you.

(soft tense music)

But you killed that body with your evil junkie ways.

So I had to give you a new one.

How's that for customer service?

Not bad, huh?

- That woman.

I recognize her.

I saw her.

I was her.

- It's your basic soul transplant.

You know, it's pretty simple.

As long as you don't spill anything.

- And you knew me before.

You knew me as her.

- No.

At least I don't remember.

This could all be lies.

- Don't be so harsh on him.

When I made the switch,

I had to rewrite your script

all the way back to the beginning.

This little diddling with the DNA

made you a much cuter baby.

But like I say,

it's all part of the package.

You see, when someone takes me up on an offer,

I have to keep them alive

so they can enjoy the fruits

of their deal with the devil.

(intense music)

- That's why you did it.

That's why you cured her of age.

You knew Walker would make the offer.

- Hey, maybe I can help her.

I mean, I have to die of something, right?

Why not what she's got?

Couldn't you give it to me instead?

- You knew that I wouldn't question it

because I wanted her to live.

But it wasn't Walker's offer that saved her.

When did you do it?

- Oh, we were out in the hallway.

Walker was all weepy.

"Oh, please,

I don't mind dying of AIDS.

Please just, just don't take my soul."

That's when I came for you.

Maya, I know you're scared.

You'd give anything to live.

(phone ringing)

(voicemail beeps)

- [Maya] Hi. You almost reached Maya.

Leave a message and I'll call you back.

- Hey, Maya, it's Taylor again.

I've been playing that Bible game.

You know, the one I showed Gabe.

Trying to figure out why you won't call me back.

I mean, it's probably nothing,

but I'm worried about you.

So just call me

and let me know that you're okay.

Okay?

Bye for now.

"And there came a messenger unto Job

and said the oxen were plowing

and the ass is feeding beside them."

Hmm.

So what do you think that one means, Gabe?

You gotta watch out for that third step on the stairs.

It squeaks.

I guess it means we have to cut our friends

a lot of slacks sometimes, huh?

And also their asses and oxen.

Come on. Time for bed.

(soft tense music)

Gabe, come on.

It's really late.

Gabe, let's go.

- This isn't real.

This isn't real.

The devil isn't real.

- Maya. - He's not real!

The devil is just some fantasy.

And if you're some sort of Christian fanatic,

you can believe in whatever insanity you want,

but keep it away from me!

- Look, I can't.

For two and a half years

I've been trying to keep it away from you.

Trying to keep you from finding out who I am

because it would condemn you to hell.

- They're not going to hell!

This is crazy.

- It doesn't matter whether you believe in it or not.

It's happening.

You made a deal.

The only question now is what we're gonna do about it.

- But I don't remember.

Even if it is real,

how can I go to hell

for something that I don't even remember?

- A long time ago he told me he made a deal

with a man in a coma.

I said it was impossible, there'd be no free will,

but he just laughed.

He said, "That man had a soul, dear boy,

and anyone who has a soul can make a choice."

I was never sure if I believed him.

(Maya sighs)

- So let's say I believe you.

What happens now?

- You have seven years left, a little more.

- And then?

And then it's like the man I saw today with the truck?

- [Morgan] When the time comes, I'll try to help you.

- When the time comes?

Why can't we start now?

- I can't do anything until the last two days.

That's how it works.

- So what?

I just go on living my life,

go to work, see a movie, waste my time

until I get dragged into the portal?

- These are years you wouldn't have had without 'em.

Use them.

Live.

- And what if you can't help me when the time comes?

- There are things both of us can't control, Maya.

But you know I'll do everything I can.

- This is what you've been doing

all the time I've known you?

How do you do it?

Save people?

- They have to make amends.

- You mean if they've done something bad with their deal?

- We don't have to talk about this.

- Yes, we do!

What if I don't do anything bad?

What if I help people?

- That's not how it works.

The deals create bad luck.

Even if clients sell their souls to do good.

- What kind of bad luck?

- It depends on the deal.

- So right now I'm creating some kind of bad luck?

I'm hurting somebody?

- Look, Maya, you need to understand this.

There is nothing you can do.

What's done is done.

All we can do now is wait.

- Get out.

(people chattering)

- Hey.

What are doing in this place on your day off?

- I need to talk to you.

- About what?

- How long it's been going on.

- What?

- How long has Hank been molesting Steffi?

Just tell me it hasn't been two and a half years.

Jillian, we gotta go somewhere and talk about this.

- I am working.

- Forget about the job!

- I can take care of this myself.

- No.

You can't.

- She's my daughter.

- I know, but this is out of your control.

- So, I'm too weak. I'm too scared?

Is that what you're saying?

I don't know what happened.

Hank wasn't like this.

He was a good man.

And then when Steffi turned seven, he...

I've tried.

I have tried to take her away from him, but you saw,

he always finds us and I don't know what to do.

- There's nothing you can do.

There's only one way to stop it.

I have to stop it.

- You?

- Jillian, I can't explain, but I caused this.

- What? How?

- It's like a punishment.

My dad did the same thing to me

and it started when I was seven.

- I don't understand.

Are you saying,

are you saying that you put Hank up to this?

- No. No!

(dishes clattering)

- Psycho bitch!

You said you were my friend.

If you've ever come near me or my family ever again,

I will kill you.

I swear to God, I will kill you!

(tense music)

- [Maya] Do you wanna know?

- [Morgan] You don't know what you're doing.

- I had to talk to her!

I had to know!

- Maya, you're putting her in danger.

If she finds out about your deal,

you'll both go to hell on the spot.

- Come on.

She wouldn't even believe me.

You're just making things up to keep me away from her.

- I've seen it happen.

- To who?

- To Jerry Slate.

- That reporter that was following you?

Taylor's sister?

- She found out the truth.

- Oh my God.

- This is why you've gotta stay away from Jillian.

The only thing you can do

is make her problems worse.

- I have to do something.

- Maya, he knew this would happen.

He knew that you'd find out

about the bad luck early.

- But Steffi,

she's getting hurt the way I did.

Maybe if I can't do anything,

I could get Jillian to do something.

- There's a reason she hasn't been able to stop it.

You don't know what you're up against, Maya.

His powers are beyond anything that you can imagine.

(knocking on door)

- [Taylor] Maya, it's me, Taylor.

Are you there?

- Oh God.

- Hey, sorry to barge in.

But you know, it was Gabe's fault.

He just insisted that we come see you.

He wouldn't shut up about it.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- We'll talk.

(soft music)

- Look, I only came because I...

There's something I need to tell you,

but I'm scared you'll be mad.

It's about Ty, your brother, Ty.

While he was here,

we were seeing each other.

In fact, we were doing a little more than seeing.

Not that you wanna know the details.

I wanted to tell you,

but you were already

really upset about, you know, Morgan

and I didn't wanna make things worse.

- You couldn't make things worse.

- Oh.

Did something happen between you and Morgan?

- [Maya] Yeah, something happened.

- [Taylor] Do you wanna talk about it?

(soft music)

- It's not something I can talk about.

- Oh.

Okay.

I understand.

Gabe.

Gotta go, buddy.

(soft music continues)

Gabe.

(knocking on door)

(intense music)

- You thought you could hide out here?

What are you doing here?

- I'm here to get Steffi.

- Like hell.

Jillian send you?

- I know what's going on.

You wanna talk to me, Hank.

- I'm gonna give you some advice.

Get lost.

- I'm going to get Steffi.

- Look, pal, you got the jump on me once,

but you'd be a lot better off

if you and that little bitch of mine

stay out of my freakin' business.

- Think, Hank.

Think back three years,

back before you started having sex with your own daughter.

Do you remember how you felt about her then?

How you loved her?

How you wanted to protect her?

- I don't have to talk to you, man.

- You don't even know why you're doing it.

You hate yourself for it but you can't stop.

- What I do with my own goddamn daughter

is my own goddamn business.

- You have to give her to me, Hank.

It's the only way she can be safe right now.

- No.

You're no better than I am.

You'd do the same thing.

- You still wanna protect her.

You know that if she stays,

it's only gonna get worse.

(gentle music)

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I am. I wanna stop.

- I know.

- I tried to kill myself a hundred times

and I can't.

I can't, I can't do it.

I love her.

- I know.

- Take her.

Please just take her before I change my mind.

(gentle music continues)

(knocking on door)

- Steffi.

You said there was nothing we could do.

Why'd you bring her here?

- The little boy with Taylor.

- Gabe.

His name's Gabe.

- He lost his mother because of me,

because she found out who I was.

But what's worse than that,

I took his father's soul

when I was still collecting.

He was a client.

I didn't know they were connected.

The devil arranged it all.

Just like he put you in that alley the night we met.

- He wanted us to meet?

- He knew that having feelings for someone again

would distract me,

complicate what I have to do,

trying to save people's souls.

Going to get Steffi,

I don't know.

Maybe it was a reflex

or some small wave making up for Jerry's son,

but it won't solve anything.

We can't save her.

- So that's it?

Hank goes on abusing her for another seven years

while I sit around and do nothing?

No.

No, I can't let that happen.

I wasn't supposed to be alive now.

I should never have had these years.

I'll end it.

- You can't. - I can.

I can at least do this.

- I mean, it won't work.

If you kill yourself

before the portal's ready to receive your soul,

the abuse will still continue.

It'll be worse off than you can possibly imagine.

- How can you do this?

How can you survive in a world where evil always wins?

- Because he doesn't always win.

That's how I survive.

By waiting and knowing I'll have a chance to beat him.

- I don't need someone who waits.

I need the man who went and got Steffi

because he knew it was right.

I need you to believe we can change this.

- I'm sorry.

(soft music continues)

(door slams)

- [Mobster] All right, here it is.

Get it.

It's cool, man, it's cool.

- I don't understand.

Why would Hank let you just take her like that?

- We talked.

- No.

Don't tell me he just let her go.

I have tried to get her out of there a thousand times.

- Have you?

- I just don't like finding my little girl

in a strange man's bed.

Especially after what Maya said.

You'll forgive me if I'm not very trusting?

- I'll be honest with you.

I don't know what's gonna happen,

but you can stay here tonight.

And tomorrow Maya and I will try and find you

someplace safe to take Steffi.

- I'm not sure there is a place

that would be safe for us.

(knocking on door)

- It's okay.

Ah, I'd rather not talk about it.

Hey, whoa, whoa, what's the matter?

I make you look bad in front of your girlfriend?

- You didn't have to do this.

- Hey man, I ain't as powerful as all that.

I can't make nobody do nothing

that ain't already in in him to do.

- Hank's not an evil man.

If he were, he never would've let her go.

- He was scared of you.

You got the muscles.

- Think about it.

She's smart and sexy and she hates my guts.

It's a perfect setup.

- For her to be your little helper.

(Devil chuckles)

You've been doing this solo for 700 years.

Hell, Batman got Robin after 11 months.

It's time you got a sidekick.

- No.

- Hey, you never know.

She kicks enough devil booty,

it might even balance out the bad luck from her deal.

Soul saved.

Ca-ching.

- I won't let you drag her in deeper.

- I don't have to.

She's already doing that herself.

- What do you mean?

- She bought herself a piece.

- Mr. Pym?

Thank you.

(doorbell rings)

(suspenseful music)

- Where are ya, huh?

Come on out.

- Okay.

- You got no beef with me.

I let your friend take her.

- I know.

That's not the end of it, is it, Hank?

- Sure is. I'm done with all that.

- Just like that?

- You gotta believe me.

(dramatic music)

(gun clicks)

(dramatic music continues)

(Hank grunting)

(gun banging)

(Morgan groans)

(dramatic music continues)

- She wouldn't talk about it,

but whatever it is, it's bad.

Ty, you know what happens when she gets isolated.

Look, if you wanna back off, that's fine, but I can't.

We're connected now.

Because I'm in love with her brother.

(Taylor sighs)

Did I really say that?

(suspenseful eerie music)

- You're Maya.

- You have to help her.

(Steffi crying)

You have to do something.

- I can't.

- You have to.

Every time it happens,

you're the one she comes to.

- I don't know what to do.

I don't know what to do.

(Steffi crying)

- But he, he shot you.

- We'll talk about it later.

- It's from Jillian.

- We have to go back. - I don't want to!

- We have to go back.

We have to go back! We have to!

- I wanna see him.

- Who?

- The Devil.

- At your service.

Who ordered the mojitos and smack?

- If you know what's gonna happen,

then you already know what I'm thinking.

- On your wavelength reading your mail.

- What's going on?

- I know how to stop this.

You can take me early.

If I'm going to hell anyway, why not take me now?

- She's always thinking.

- Because in seven years

we have a chance to save your soul-

- A chance. That's all it is.

- Maya, you don't know what you're saying.

You're talking about an eternity in hell.

- Yeah and a couple more years added to eternity

won't make a difference to me,

but it'll get that little girl out of hell.

- I know you wanna help her, but it's impossible.

You sold your soul for 10 years

and that's what he has to deliver.

- He has a point.

- You owe me this!

You know it wasn't fair to make a deal with me

when I didn't even know what I was doing.

- She has a point too.

- Maya, don't do this.

If you're right about your deal, he can't collect.

If you make him a counter offer,

it's a new deal.

- I accept.

What can I say?

You won me over.

- You can't do this.

You have to give her a chance to save herself.

That was our deal.

- She's asking to go to hell early

and you have to take anyone who asks.

That is our deal.

But hey, this seems to be a personal matter,

so I'm gonna step off

and let you two work it out.

Oh, and by the way,

we just restarted your clock.

So if you can't convince him

to push that little red button on his phone,

I'm afraid Steffi's got another 10 years to go.

- He's hurting me!

(soft tense music)

- Let go of her, let go of her!

- No, Hank, no!

- Ow!

(Steffi crying)

Ow!

- You've gotta take me, please.

You've gotta take me now!

- I can't.

- Don't argue with me!

- I can't do that!

- Push the button!

(Steffi crying)

- No, no!

- Just do it!

Send me to hell for God's sake!

Just push it!

Push it!

(Steffi and Jillian crying) (suspenseful music)

- I love you.

(phone beeping)

(Jillian and Steffi crying)

(Gabe panting)

(soft music)

(soft music continues)

(soft music continues)

(fireworks booming)
