Original subtitles

Scene 3.

Warehouse.

Elodie and Caleb stand arm in arm among the clutter.

It's all so clear to me now.

What's clear, my dear?

And then, staring back at the man she's come to love...

she says...

You're everything to me.

No, that's awful.

She says...

You complete me.

That's cliché.

I now know...

What you mean to me.

Better.

I need you more than you can imagine.

Worse.

I never knew how much I needed you.

Until now.

That works.

Hey you.

Ready for what?

I thought we weren't doing anything tonight.

I'll be ready.

Love you.

So is that what your script is about?

Well, it's actually about a fashion model.

Her sister gets kidnapped and she's trying to save her.

Why was she kidnapped?

The villain does it, but, I don't know.

Well I make a great villain.

I need you for a bigger role.

Ah, even better.

I told you I'd write you a good part.

And I told you, I have connections

Is this about the theatre?

Open it!

She said yes?!

I told you she would!

It's only up for one night so you better make it count.

I just can't believe it's really happening.

What would you do without me?

I gotta tell Abigail!

Is that the one downtown?

Yeah, Colin's Aunt works there.

He asked if we could put up my play, and she said yes!

Are you kidding me, that's amazing!

I know, and apparently she knows a ton of people that work there, and so, if things go well...

This could be your big break!

Yeah...

And I'm scared.

What? Why.

That crowd, I...

So? You've done it before.

Yeah, acting, not writing.

Exactly, so it should be easier.

I've read everything you've written and it's amazing.

Thank you.

But...

I'm stuck.

The villain again?

I don't know what his motivation is for the kidnapping...

Well, motivation can be hard.

You don't want to force it.

Sometimes you've just got to let the character take you where it wants to go.

And what if I don't like it?

I don't think it really matters. It's not yours anymore.

Yeah.

Hey...

I don't know what I'd do without you.

Scene 2.

Warehouse.

Alida sits captive, taped at the mouth...

and tied at the hands.

Hector looms nearby.

I'd like to consider myself a patient man.

But three weeks?!

Too long.

But three days?!

And still no necklace?

And still no gem?

And still no dagger?

Where'd I put that script?

Can you believe we'll be up there in a couple months?

Why are you texting Abigail?

They just got here.

Here? They're coming?

Is that okay?

Yeah, I just thought that maybe we could have gotten just one night alone together.

Hi! Can you believe this place?

It's amazing.

You really lucked out.

It's all Colin.

So how's the script coming?

Almost done.

Do you like it?

I don't know, I mean...

I'm not gonna be sitting in the audience but...

I hope they'll like it.

Is this a dagger which I see before me?

The handle toward my hand?

Come.

Let me clutch thee.

I have thee not and yet I see thee still.

Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible to feeling as to sight?

Or art thou but a...

He's good, you should use him.

He's not that good.

I see thee yet.

And form as palpable as this which now I draw.

The dagger is a magic object...

which grants the owner's greatest desire.

It's the reason for the kidnapping.

Colin, you're Caleb, the love interest.

The male lead.

Abigail, you're Alida, the kidnapped sister.

Hayden, you're Hector, the kidnapper and the villain.

And Floyd, you're Flash. The guide.

Does this mean that you're playing Elodie?

Oh no, she's the star.

That's how I imagine her and...

I just haven't found the right person yet.

Let her go.

Not unless you give me the gem.

Elodie says "We don't have it"

Then we're finished here.

And that's when you pull...

This out.

Go ahead.

And you fall...

to the ground.

Elodie runs over screaming...

crying.

But you're already dead.

The music swells.

The lights dim.

The curtains close.

The end.

Hey, so what's my motivation?

This. You want to use the dagger.

Why?

Because you're evil...

Because you're the villain.

Okay, but why?

Most of them are out of our price range but...

we're waiting to hear back from one.

You know, just because he wants to move doesn't mean you have to.

I know. I want to.

You better not leave me.

Why don't you come with? Split the rent.

Yeah, I'm sure Hayden would love that.

What do you have against him?

Nothing.

Well, nothing's set in stone yet...

we're just looking.

I just don't want to lose you.

Remember that?

Salesman? Of course.

You were such a good... prostitute?

Secretary!

Oh that's right, Abigail was the prostitute.

And somehow, I get to be with Willy Loman.

I'll never let anything bad happen to you.

It's all so clear to me now.

What's clear, my dear?

I never knew how much I needed you.

Until now.

Hey...

Stop!

What? I'm getting into character.

Well go do it to somebody else.

That was great, guys.

All we would need is the actual actress...

and then we'll be all set.

Why don't you just do it? You know it better than anyone.

What about her?

Too young.

Her?

Too plain.

Her eyes are just a little too...

She's too important for just anyone.

Well it's anyone or no one at this point.

Guys...

Look what we got.

Opening night guys, let's do it.

Colin!

What?

We go up in two hours.

Okay, that's a lot of time.

What's wrong with you?

I'm just tired.

No you're not, you're being a jerk.

Okay, that's enough.

Yeah? I'm trying to make this work and you don't even care.

Sabrina... Leave it!

I've been leaving it. You need to explain yourself.

There's nothing to explain.

Let's just get through this.

Get through it?

Okay, get to it, what do you want from me?

I want you to tell me the truth.

There's nothing to tell!

Yeah? Then why does it look like you'd rather be anywhere else?

I'm just not used to it, okay?

You've been doing theater your whole life.

Yeah but not...

this.

Me.

I... No I... I get it.

I don't think I can do this anymore.

The play?

No, no this... Us...

I just can't do it anymore.

What are you trying to say?

I'm saying.

I don't think I can be with you anymore.

He doesn't know what he's saying.

Just do the show, then tomorrow I'll bet things are back to normal.

I can't do it.

Are you sure?

Do you want me to go and tell everyone to go home?

There's people here?

Yeah, they're lining up.

A lot.

What do you want to do?

A letter.

One you hope never to receive.

The news that someone you love is in danger.

That your entire world has turned upside down.

Help! Help!

Elodie...

I've kidnapped your sister.

You owe me what is rightfully mine.

The missing gem to the Tungsten Dagger.

Really? The Tungsten Dagger?

What is it?

It instantly fulfills the owner's greatest desire.

But only if the activation gem is joined to the handle.

I don't have the gem.

You'll need someone else for that.

I thought you said you could help me.

Help you find your sister, and I did...

I gave you her files.

But I'm an information dealer.

Magic is where I draw the line.

Well then, who do you recommend?

Caleb.

An expert on the dagger.

I will never let anything bad happen to you.

It's all so clear to me now.

What's clear, my dear?

Do you want to tell me how much you need me?

I...

Don't blow this for me.

I'm sorry.

Get her some water.

Hey, hey, it's okay... It's okay... I'm right here.

You're alright. You can do this.

I can't do it.

Yes you can, you're almost done.

I can't do it...

I can't do it.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Hi everyone... I'm sorry but...

it looks like that will be it for us tonight.

Thank you for coming.

Hayden and I we... we found a place.

New York?

Yeah.

When?

Two weeks.

Congratulations.

You know, my mom really loved the play...

She said that even without the ending the story really came through.

Sabrina?

Are you okay?

Of course.

I'm sorry, Elodie.

I wish they saw you like I do.

Wait!

Who are you?!

You're real.

I know we're not supposed to leave, but...

I needed you.

Leave where?

Here.

What is this?

Your creation.

Wait!

Wait!

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's alright, I'm here for you.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know how you'd react.

I've been through this cycle over and over again.

It always starts with her kidnapping...

and ends with her death.

I thought I could change it.

Until I got out.

You took this?

But what can I do?

You can change it.

Only you can break the cycle.

I... I can't...

The dagger!

Your greatest desire instantly fulfilled.

Help me find her and I promise it's yours.

A second chance.

Are you sure it'll work, you're sure it's real?

As long as we get the gem, it's as real as I am.

But... But what if I can't change how it ends?

Then we try again.

I know we need to find an information dealer to get her location.

Flash.

Flash, right. But I don't know where to find him.

Sabrina?

Sabrina?

What?

Where do we find him?

I don't know.

You wrote it.

Well that wasn't part of it.

Well if it was, where do you think he'd be?

Are you Flash?

Who's asking?

I'm Elodie, and this is...

Elodie? The model?

You know me?

You could say I'm a fan of your work.

We need your help.

Everyone always does.

Nobody knows how to get here.

And I'd like to keep it that way.

Floyd?

No...

Flash.

But that's interesting...

My sister's been kidnapped.

I've been told that...

You can help us find her.

That's what I thought.

What?

Your sister.

Who is she?

Alida Anders.

These were sent to me with a ransom note.

I've seen her.

Read the note.

Elodie...

I've kidnapped your sister.

You owe me what is rightfully mine.

The missing gem to the Tungsten Dagger.

I've set up a drop point beneath the downtown bridge.

Leave me what I want and she'll be free.

Fail to do so, and...

Fail to do so, and I will tear her limb from limb...

and scatter them throughout the streets...

as a monument to your defiance.

Do you have the gem?

I don't even know what it is.

You'll need someone else for that.

Magic is where I draw the line.

I know a guy.

She knows a guy.

I found our friend.

Who is he?

Hold it.

My services aren't free.

Not even for celebrities.

I spent it all to find her.

You're a photographer, aren't you?

Maybe we can make a deal.

Where did you get that?

Not everyone's ignorant of this place, Sabrina.

Just the lucky ones.

Tread lightly.

There she is.

The toy warehouse.

Did you know that?

Not how to get there.

Sabrina!

Why?

We need him.

For what?

Trust me.

Colin!

Caleb!

Who is he?

Stay here.

Might as well get it over with.

Get what?

Pretty little thing like you doesn't chase a man at night...

unless she wants to kiss him...

Or kill him.

So which is it?

So the former.

We need your help with a kidnapping.

So the latter.

It's the Tungsten Dagger.

I know you're an expert on it.

We've been looking for the gem.

But...

we don't know what it looks like.

No one does.

But I have my theories.

Will you help us?

I've seen you in a magazine, haven't I?

My name is Elodie.

What do I get out of this, Elodie?

What do you want?

The dagger.

Not to use it.

Just to study it.

Fine.

But I get to use it.

Then we have a deal.

Guys...

He's been here.

So he'll be back.

I'd like to consider myself a patient man.

But three days!

And still no gem.

It's like she doesn't even care about you.

That's gotta be it.

What?

The gem.

It's her necklace.

Are you sure?

Based on my research.

I got that doing a gig.

Some gig.

It's up to you now.

Everything I do ends with her dead.

I have an idea.

Unless it's...

just not real enough for her.

She doesn't think I'll do it.

What do you say we make it real enough for her?

And just who are you trying to impress with this?

He doesn't know.

I'll give you...

one final chance...

to prove your worth.

Where's the gem?

Where is it?

I don't know.

Tell me where it is.

Tell me where it is.

Where is it?!

Trust me.

Tell me where it is.

I don't know!

Where is it?

Where is it?!

Where is it?!

Wait!

Don't shoot!

I'm her sister.

How did you find us?

Does it matter? I brought the gem.

Well look at that.

Stop!

I'll get it.

It's genuine.

Well there's only one way to find out.

Wait!

I think we need to discuss the conditions...

What conditions?

Run!

Ah... shit.

She's been hit.

But she's alive.

I'll be fine.

He's got the dagger.

But a fake gem.

Well where's the necklace?

It fell off.

I didn't see where.

It's gotta be around here somewhere.

I'll take Alida back to my place to rest.

You two join us when you find it.

Where do you live?

Think about it.

You really want this thing, huh?

I need it.

I thought it was about saving her sister.

Not the dagger.

It was my one shot.

My one shot at the one thing...

I dreamed about for...

forever.

All those faces... in the crowd.

Every single one of them...

a separate disappointment.

Have you ever wanted something so badly...

only to have it slip away?

I usually get what I want.

You are just like him.

Who?

Someone beautiful.

Someone I thought I knew.

Until...

he hurt me.

I would never do that to you.

What would you use it for?

I wouldn't.

I have everything that I need.

Everything?

I guess there's...

some room for improvement.

It's all so clear to me now.

What's clear, my dear?

I never knew how much I needed you...

Until now.

Well I'll be damned.

Did you find it?

Alida's in bed.

She's feeling a lot better.

You did it.

Thank you.

Did he say why he wants to use it?

No.

He just wanted it.

He had heard the gem had been given away as a gift.

And who was the recipient?

Elodie.

Why do you want it?

I wish I could tell you.

I wish I could tell you everything.

But...

you wouldn't understand.

Because I'm not her, right?

Because I look like her...

and I act like her...

but I'm not her.

Who?

Elodie told me everything while you were gone.

About us.

About you.

She said she'd always hoped to meet you.

That she felt some kind of connection toward you.

I'm sorry you went through all of this.

I would say it's not your fault... but...

Doesn't it bother you?

Knowing the truth about all this?

No.

Truth is the most freeing thing of all.

It's good to see you too.

You know...

I should have seen it from a mile away.

But I wanted it to be true.

I couldn't see that... it wasn't.

Luckily...

I was able to track down your little friend.

Rest his soul.

Elodie...

El... hmm...

Elodie.

Incredible.

I don't believe I caught your name, my dear.

What is it?

What is it?

Sabrina!

Sabrina...?

Stone!

Atta girl.

What's this?

Who is this?

What is this?!

The truth.

Tell me...

Why do you want the dagger?

To grant my greatest desire.

Why? What is that?

I...

Think hard.

I don't know.

Then why do you want it?

I just do.

You do because I said you do...

because you're just a character that I wrote!

No... You have no motivation because I didn't give you one...

and that's the truth!

Shut up!

Where were you?

I woke up and you were gone.

It's okay.

I got you.

You dropped something.

What's this?

What is this?

Hector has your file...

which means it's only a matter of time before he finds us here.

Well we'll just...

have to keep guard and be ready.

Caleb can watch the door.

Like this?

He's been like this ever since he found out.

I'm worried.

About what?

What if he can't handle it?

He'll snap out of it... watch this.

Caleb!

Caleb?

Caleb?

Can I have the necklace?

Of course.

I'll do it.

Anything?

Not yet.

How long have you known?

I've always had a feeling.

One day I just decided to follow it.

Follow it where?

That's...

not important.

You know...

just because it's written...

doesn't mean it isn't real.

Caleb?

Where are you going?

I have to get out.

Elodie!

He took it.

Anything?

He's gone.

It's gone.

Alida!

Stay back...

No...

I...

I didn't know what to do.

I saw it.

I saw all of it.

Where's the dagger?

I read it...

It's not my fault.

It's not my fault...

The dagger! Where did you put it?

I...

put it...

Wait!

Sabrina!

It's over.

What?

You got what you wanted.

Didn't you?

Staring down the nose of the monster...

she stands firm.

Her head high, her shoulders perched.

My name is Elodie...

she declares with a fearless disposition.

I've come for my sister, and I will not be deterred by a thug like you.

The cards are stacked against her, but without a moment's hesitation...

she draws.

It sounds better coming from your mouth.

It didn't come from my mouth.

It came from your mind.

I wouldn't exist without you.

And neither would he.

I can't tell you what to do.

But you saved my sister.

I promised you the dagger and...

I'm gonna get it.

If you change your mind I'll be waiting at the theatre.

If he's serious it's the only way out.

I saw it...

I saw all of it...

It's not my fault.

Who is it?

It's me.

Where was it?

The trash.

He knew he didn't want it so he threw it away.

That means...

He got out, he broke in...

read the script, saw the pictures. The truth.

Where's Alida?

She stayed back.

Can you go check on her?

Yeah, are you gonna be okay here by yourself?

Safer than you.

Besides, if anything happens I've...

got this.

You came back.

Because I found it.

He must have visited my place and left it there.

That explains these...

They were mixed in with the files, I...

What?

I swear I just saw...

So this is it, huh? This is where she came from?

Wait.

We can't let him near the dagger.

Give me the key.

Give me the key!

We have to help her.

She's armed, he's not.

No!

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

Go get it.

I can't.

Do it for Elodie.

You used me.

Why did you use me?

Don't!

I'm more than just a character now.

You need me.

Give it to me.

Drop the gun...

and I'll hold on.

But if you shoot...

The dagger sinks and it's over for both of us.

I never knew how much I needed you...

Until now.

Sabrina!

What the hell did you do?

I thought I lost you.

Did you get it?

No... But I got him.

You need help.

This is where I belong.

You always reminded me of her.

No, please don't go...

No...

No, please don't go...

I need you, don't go...

No, I need you...

Stay with me.
