All language subtitles for The Sound of Violet (2022) 1080p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-English

Life never turns out
the way you expect.

That's one of the last things
my grandpa told me.

He also told me to always bring
an extra pair of pants,

whenever we play miniature golf
in case I got a hole in one.

But I was always very careful.

Your profile pictures
aren't very up to date.

If you didn't see your name,
I never would have known
that was you.

I read an article about
how this place used to be
an abandoned plant.

until someone realized that
it could be something beautiful.

Sorry.

Touching can be too intense.

How did it go?

She just ran off.

Let me guess.
You didn't look her in her eyes.

- I'm never getting married.
- Married?

We need to get you
a second date.

I need to find someone
before you die.

Well, good news.
I'm still breathing.

Sometimes to motivate myself,
I picture you lying in a casket.

How dare you say that?

You know I want to be cremated

so no one will
screw up my makeup.

Maybe I should start
picturing you as an urn.

Whatever works.

Don't ever stop looking
for that special someone.

She's out there.

Every day, I pray
that you'll find her.

I printed something for you.

That'll be you someday.

Clint, my man.

How's the meat?

Wow.

Why is this hottie rated a six?

She lied in her bio.

She says she majored
in cosmetology at Harvard,

I caught that one. My algorithm

-cross checked the way she--
-Okay, look.

Somebody that looks like this

should have a boost
to their score.

The score is objective.

It's her history of how many
times she's been--

Nobody cares about people's
histories if we lose

all the young and hot
with valid credit cards.

Let's find a way
to reward this beauty.

Oh, I can't get
into my personal account.

Yes, new rule.

Employees are no longer allowed
to date through the app.

So you can't use it either.

Of course I can.

-Quality control.
-What about Adele?

-Same thing.
-And Cyrus?

Shawn, we've had
a few complaints

from some of the girls
that you've met.

All of them, actually,
not a big deal.

But, uh, you know, maybe we try
to date through other apps.

I know my chances of finding
someone will increase if I can--

- I hope everyone's excited about our women haters party.
- -Tammy.

Fine, promo party.
Some of you need to RSVP today.

I didn't get the invite.

Sorry, Shawn. Jake's getting
picky about who goes.

I won't have anything to eat
or drink. If that helps.

Can't do it, Shawn.
When Jake says no, he means no.

kind of like victims
of sexual assault.

No means no, people.

-I'll add you to the list,
-But you just said no.

I hate the theme
and object to it on principle,

but you're a nice guy.

What up, bro?

We're at a Pimps and Hoes party.

Why are you dressed
like Elton John?

What?

- You don't look like a ho.
- Exactly.

Why are we celebrating
women being trafficked by pimps?

How's Grandma doing?

I heard she swallowed
a hundred dollar bill.

Grandma didn't swallow anything.

So there's been no change?

Nope.

She looked at me.

Hey, turn on the charm,
smile back.

Nah, no. That's like
the Cheshire cat.

More subtle, look, look.

No, you're being creepy.
That's creepy.

Smile long enough to hook her,
not make her run away.

Three seconds. Turn your head,

smile for three seconds
and turn back.

Yeah, it was awesome.
Yeah, yeah.

Okay, some of these women
might be out of your league.

All women might be
out of your league.

-Don't say that.
-Kidding. Kidding.

Try your smile out
on somebody else.

It worked.

White is the color of all
wavelengths of visible life.

People think black
is all colors,

but black is
the absence of color.

Uh-huh, I'm violet.

Heh, the color on the higher end
of the visible spectrum,

I'm Shawn.

Please say you'll go
on a date with me.

-We can go someplace right now.
-I can't right now.

We can do later,
but it'll cost you.

You're at a Pimps and Hoes party

talking to a ho.

I'm not good at pretend.

Well, I'm good at everything
as long as I'm paid by the hour.

I used to be paid by the hour.
Now I'm on salary.

Three hundred an hour.

What do you do
to earn that much?

Like I said,

everything.

You free Saturday night?

What time? For how long?

I don't know.

Five

until eight.

You don't want to wait
until it gets dark.

It's summer in Seattle.

The sun stays out forever,
like it's trying to make up
for the rest of the year.

Whatever you say, big spender.

Just text me your address.

I look forward to going out.

Going somewhere is extra.

Then we can stay in,
have dinner.

I'll bring dessert.

I like chocolate.

Bro, you did it.

Hi, Douglas.

Send her up.

Oh, I think,
I have the wrong place.

Hi, Violet.

Oh.

Hello.

Women dress so edgy these days.

Will you be joining us?

I'll, I'll be in my bedroom.

No touching until I say it's OK.

- Oh, well, Shawn doesn't like touching, either.
- -Mm-hmm.

And if I don't want
to do something, I won't.

Oh, well, of course, dear.

We all need better boundaries.

Well, um, I'm off
to my bedroom, and uh,

so you two can get started.

Oh, you were supposed
to bring dessert.

-It's right here.
-What?

- Oh.
- Um...

Dinner

Oh, you want
the girlfriend experience?

As long as it leads
to something more.

We can role play.

Whatever you want.

You really like muffins.

Those are Apple muffins.

Washington's official
state fruit.

I've got something else
you'll find tasty.

You did bring dessert.

Where's your bedroom?

Right down the hall
and to the right.

Give me a sec.

We should get the business part
out of the way first.

Business part?

Didn't know you were changing.

You're new at this? I get it.

you booked me for three hours,
that's nine hundred, stud.

I don't understand.

-Are you a cop?
-I'm a programmer
for a dating app.

I turn original formulations
into executable programs.

I solve problems with algorithms
and verify the requirements

-of the--
-I love to hear
more about that later.

I really have to show you

You're the one who hired me.

-Show me whatever you want.
-Why would I hire you?

You really thought
this was a date?

What else would it be?

What do you think I am?

You're a pretty woman.

You're very nice, but I have
to go. Car's on the way.

- That was too quick.
- Sorry.

-I need to hook up with someone.
-I could go with you.

You should date someone else.

Did I say something to hurt you?

Sometimes I do that
without realizing it.

It's nothing against you. But--

But you can't date
a guy like me?

Not the first time
I've heard that.

Well, it's a short car ride.

Hey, I've got a box
for your grandma.

I'll get it on my way back.

-She knows you're going out?
-Of course she does.

I'm on a date.

You have a busy schedule.

-It's just for work.
-What do you do?

-I'm an actress.
-Oh, wow.

-So this is an audition?
-Kind of.

-How long have you been acting?
-Look, you're fine
to come along,

but can you do
a little less of this?

Yeah.

- Have a good night.
- -I can wait here until you're done.

- These things could take a while.
- -I'm fine.

- You really need to go.
- Don't worry about me.

-Well, I have your number.
-Sorry, I don't--

Hugs, they're too intense.

Oh, okay.

I'll see you around then.

Did you get the part?

You're still here?

I wanted to hear how it went.

Same as always.
I just try to get through it.

I've got another audition.

You're very popular.

I can't believe
you stuck around.

I didn't want our date to end.

I hardly know you.

Most people just care
about my measurements.

We can start with that.
How tall are you?

Five six.

What's your favorite
breakfast cereal?

Hmm.

The sugar cereals. My mom
didn't let me eat growing up.

Mine used to be Good Friends.

That's a cereal?

It's the only thing
I would eat for breakfast,

until I couldn't eat
gluten anymore.

I'm going to make a cereal
called enemies

so that people
can eat them for breakfast.

You are?

Just a bad joke.

You don't need to wait for me.

Let's keep this thing going.

It shouldn't be long.

You okay?

Just listening
to the colors of the bridge.

Some of the senses
in my brain are mixed up.

It's called synesthesia.

When I look closely at colors,
I hear sounds.

What's that sound like?

Clang!

Not what I thought.

Stay here for a second.

Productive night, sweetie?

You didn't text me back.

I'm going there now.

Who's the guy?

Just someone being nice to me.

That's all he had in his wallet.

You know,

better get back to him.

Who is that?

He's, uh, my manager, Anton.

Helps me get jobs.

I've got one more audition.

Takes the edge off.

You should try chamomile tea.
It also relieves cramps.

I'll keep that in mind.

It's the

You're looking pretty, Amber.

Oh, I think
I have the wrong place.

No, you got the right place.

Amber works down at the office.

She won't give me a time of day.

Just play along.

So I haven't met a lot
of actresses in Seattle.

- It's a small community.
- Huh.

How long have you two
been friends?

Colin is my brother,

A very protective brother.

Ah, didn't realize
it was so late.

I want to see you again.

I wish my life wasn't so busy.

Take it easy, bro.
Give her some space.

I really like you.

I'll call you, promise.

That was four dates.

A new record.

Yeah, I count that as one date.

Look, grandma's been
bugging me for a while

to help you find someone.
Maybe it's time I did.

I like Violet. We're going
to have a fifth date.

I will help you find
the right kind of girl,

and we'll start with, uh, this.

Most of us don't wear
the same thing every single day.

I mix up the colors.

Yeah, you dress like a Lego.

Okay, time to dress like a man.

I'll forget how
to match everything.

We will take photos.

And maybe do something--

I know, I know, I know.

Thank you.

Someone stole my credit card.

You gotta be careful, bro.

Ready?

I thought Sunday
is blue shirt day.

Colin says this is better.

Did you ask that woman
about her family?

Her job?

-She's an actress.
-Wh, what about her church?

I don't know.

Make sure you read
the sell sheet

before you buy the house.

I'm not buying a house.

Besides, she hasn't answered
any of my phone calls
or text messages.

She'll probably just be
like everyone else.

You know, sometimes we need
a little encouragement,

so that we don't
give up on love.

Doesn't seem right for me
to wear these anymore.

Are you dying?

Oh, and I know your grandpa

would've wanted you to have it.

Therefore, when you find
that special person

- Thanks, Grandma.
- Oh.

? Turn your eyes upon Jesus ?

? Look full
in His wonderful face ?

? And the things of earth ?

? Will grow strangely dim ?

? In the light
of His glory and grace ?

Anyone can see it's a moustache,

but you can get it
lasered right off.

Go. Hey, excuse my brother.

He can be
a little blunt sometimes.

Did I say something hurtful?

Just try your key, Shawn.

Nope.

Okay, that one's staying locked.

Look, um, just try a couple more
locks before we take off.

Okay?

This may not have been
my best idea.

- Can I talk to you for a second?
-Mmm-hmm.

I told her to stop by
between her auditions.

Give us a moment.

I got your texts,

including the ones about
your credit card being stolen.

Tell me how you want
to work this out.

You had it.

I thought that's why
you texted me.

I just wanted you to know
what was going on.

Maybe you wanted
to see me again.

Oh, right.

I must have grabbed it
at the coffee shop by mistake.

-I took everything back.
-That explains that.

Can I chat with you for a sec?

Hold on Shawn, just--

Look, something is off here.

I know, your brother
is very unique.

He has autism.

He's high functioning,
but it's tough for him

to form relationships,
communicate, break social cues.

I might have that, too.

Look, he can be too trusting,
too loyal, and when he hurts,

- he hurts big time.
- Hmm.

He deserves a nice woman.

No offense,
but you're not really his type.

The only time people say
no offense is when they know
they're being offensive.

-I didn't mean--
-I know what you meant.

Wanna get a bite to eat, Shawn?

Try the key thing.
Maybe a muffin.

Your brother could be
friendlier.

Sorry about that.

Whenever I'm feeling down,

this is what I look at.

A wedding app.

That one lists everything
you need to do

to get ready for your big day.

I heard of a guy
who put out an ad

one time that said,
"Wife wanted."

He got a bunch of replies back
that said, "You can have mine."

Is that a joke?

Colin is better at those.

-Inspiring, huh?
-Huh.

Seeing all those cake photos
makes me hungry.

I can't eat casein
which is part of milk

or gluten which
is part of wheat.

Uh, give me a minute.

You got me worried when I
didn't hear from you, sweetie.

No one was lined up,
I thought...

Let me do the thinking.

Sorry. I thought
I was free today.

-There's something wrong
with your hand.
-Just nerves.

I could never be an actor.
Expose myself to everybody?

-You're brave.
-I'm crazy.

You're a different wavelength.

What do you mean?

There are colors we can't see.

Beauty that's outside
our physical spectrum.

There's a lot about you
that's not visible to me yet.

But I can tell it's going
to be beautiful.

I'd like to try that hug again.

I can hug you gently.

Can you hug me?

That's the best I can do.

How does my necklace sound?

Like whispers.

Since you won't hug me

I'll just say it.

I want to hug you, Shawn.

And it's not
an everyday event for me.

I've had more touching
then I need.

I don't know what that means.

But I'd really like
to see you again.

I know.

Hey.

Grandma called me.

Now, she doesn't have a good
vibe about Violet either.

I finally have a relationship
and you're both against it.

you've seen her two times,
that's not a relationship.

You can be too trusting
and that's how you get hurt.

The way she dresses,

it makes me think
she has a past.

And those auditions at night,

there, there can't be that
many acting jobs in Seattle.

At least I'm worried
about my future.

You're the only barista here
with a teaching degree.

You should be doing more
with your life.

And you should be asking her
more questions.

Get to know her,
find out what she really does.

Be happy for me.

Colin doesn't think someone
can be a full time actor
in Seattle.

I do other jobs to get by.

He doesn't even think
we should be together.

Neither does my grandma.

You're an adult.
You can choose who you're with.

The reason I showed you that
wedding app is because I only

date someone if she's
a possible wife.

Oh!

Wow.

Um, I almost forgot.
Since you're so into weddings,

I thought you could
use this someday,

when, uh, some of those colors
aren't right to you.

Thank you.

I should get back to work.

I got to go too.

Auditions.

I don't even know this guy.

That's why we're going
out with him.

It'll be fun, I promise.

It's getting late.

We should've met
him at the club.

Would you relax, okay?

But don't worry about this.

Come on.

Hey, Joe, She's the one
I was telling you about.

Here you go.

Bottoms up.

Come on, you could do
better than that. Bottoms up.

Let's go.

You know what? Actually,

I forgot something
in the car, all right.

I'll be back in like,
two minutes.

- I'll go with you.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Just hang out here, all right?

When I get back, we'll get
a bite to eat before we go
to the club.

Okay, just--

So you must have known
Anton for a while?

Your wine is a little sour.

I'm gonna wait in the hall.

Oh, hey, what's going on?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- You okay?
- -Something was in the wine.

Your friend was all over me.

- Calm, calm down.
- I'm calling the police.

Calm down.

-Hey, it's all gonna work out.
-You don't get--

- I was at the door...
- Just--

-Just-- No, no, no, no, no.
-...and he, he's--

I know exactly what happened.

See this.

Mm-hmm.

Looks like you were enjoying it.

Come on. Get up.

- What the hell is going on?
- Come on, get up.

Come on, that's it.

Hey, come on.

Yeah, that's it.

-Mm, take one of these.
-Uh--

Take one of these,
it will make you feel good.

Come on, take the edge off.

Let's go.

There you go.

I have another friend
for you to see.

I want to go home.

Now it's time for you to pay me
back for I've done for you.

-Okay. Hey, shush.
-No. This is...

-insane. -This is--
-You're going
to make some dough.

You're going to make some dough

with this next one, all right?

I'd hate for your mom and dad
to get these pictures,

you know, or anybody else
back home.

Well, no one should see you
this way, okay?

Look, here's how it works.

You pay me back
for all I've done for you.

You know, keeping a roof
over your head.

Pretty things on your hot body.

Whatever you want.

Just till you pay me back.

I'll keep these safe
and keep you safe.

It's a dangerous world.

Parents get killed.

Friends get killed.

No one ever knows.

Come on.

Come on, let's go.

-No, I don't, I don't wanna go.
-Let's go!

-I--
-Let's go.

Let's go

I don't want to do this.

The doorman had this for you.

-Oh.
-You get a lot of packages.

-You seeing that girl?
-You don't have
to wait up for me.

What's her last name?

-I don't know.
-Well, you can't go over
to her place,

if you don't know her last name,

-I'll ask.
-She's not the kind
of girl that,

I picture you with.

You used to be happy
if I was with any girl.

Well, I'm not up to having
visitors like her around here.

-This is my place too.
-I only want the best for you.

And I don't think she's it.

I liked your paintings better
when they have color in them.

Well, this is the way life feels
without your grandpa.

I hope my life
never feels that way.

You're early, very early.

I, I forgot to tell you
to use the back entrance.

I was excited to start
our movie night.

You look pretty.

I didn't realize
you were just visiting.

No, this is where I live.
I've tried to make it my home.

Oh, you have a roommate,

That's Goldie.

-Oh, that's okay.
-Clutter distracts me.

I'm surprised you're not
in a house or apartment.

Anton got the place.

Worked out a deal.

He likes to keep
all his actresses together.

And he keeps
most of what I make.

Welcome to showbiz.

What's that?

Oh, that's Theo.

Every week I stuff
ten bucks in him

so I could go to a drama school,

at the University
of Washington someday.

It's gonna take
a lot of stuffing.

I know.

Just stupid dream.

But Theo keeps me going.

- It's just a bra.
- It gets my heart racing.

Nothing wrong with that.

There is, if you're waiting
until marriage to make love.

You don't have to wait.

It's a sign that you're bonded
and committed to someone
for the rest of your life.

Or it's a sign
you like to have a good time.

Are you waiting
for that special someone?

Did I hurt your feelings?

I try to ask that
if someone's face changes.

You're cute.

Are these your parents?

-Mm-hmm.
-Mm.

Where's your dad
in this picture?

He left us.

Fine by me.

His brother did things
he shouldn't

and Dad always denied it.

I'm just glad my uncle
couldn't get to me anymore.

I try not to think about it.

It's too hurtful.

I've been hurt, too.

My parents didn't do so well
with their relationship, either.

I had to have a lot of sessions
with therapists.

It was too much for them.
So my grandparents took
my brother and I in.

My dad says he needs to find
himself before he can find us.

My grandma says that he'll never
find himself at the bottom of
a bottle, whatever that means.

I'm sorry. Looks like Anton
needs me tonight, after all.

What do you think?

-Gold or pink.
-I like the one you have on.

It sounds like a heart beating.

Maybe that's me.

Good night, Violet.

Good night, Goldie.

Oh, what's your last name?

-Black.
-Your name is two colors.

You told me black
is the absence of color.

You were listening.

- How was the audition?
- They're all the same.

This guy wore his wedding ring.

So gross.

Why is that gross?

Yeah, you're right.

It'll be better next time.

I created an algorithm that

searches for auditions
for women in your age range.

Lot of modelling opportunities.

Shawn, thank you.

I'd love to be going
for other parts.

I just wanted you to make it.

Okay, too much.

You know, it's tough making it
to all auditions

if I'm seeing you in between.

Maybe we shouldn't see each
other on my work nights anymore.

-I didn't know. I'm sorry.
-No, it's fine.

You'll get a great role someday.

Look, student film,
casting female in her twenties.

Good looking, to play a woman
with a wounded past,

multiple personalities.
That could be you.

I think it is me.

A joke.

-My next audition.
-You could skip it.

If I do, Anton will find me.

Somehow he always knows
where I am.

-What are you doing?
-Turning off your GPS.

- That's how he tracks me.
- Mm-hmm.

I know some fun things
we could do.

Okay.

I'll grab my jacket

and then we'll have a fun time.

I promise.

It's open.

-Where have you been?
-I'm sorry I'm so late.

- I've got something special planned.
- -Oh.

Uh, Shawn,
this is Alicia and Nadia.

They're friends of mine.

I thought you and I
were having dinner.

I'll share, they were hungry.

My grandma's coming home
thinking she's having dinner
with just me.

You were a surprise.

All of you would be
too much of a surprise.

I love surprises,
but I wish you told me.

I didn't want you
to get nervous.

You must make a lot of money
to afford this place, huh.

It's my grandma's. I do coding.

Me too.

Gets me through the day.

You know how to code?

Oh, no, I thought
you said codeine.

-We should do this another time.
-Are you all actresses?

You're not going to get much
from Miss talkative here.

- We should go, girls.
- Wait.

-What's wrong?
-No, it's fine.

I just, I can't miss an audition
again or turn off my GPS.

Did Anton hurt you?

He lost control,
happens now and then.

-He likes us to be professional.
-That's not right.

Let's come up with a plan
for that special dinner.

How was Bible study?

Well, if more women were like
the women from the Bible,

this world would be
a much better place.

- The--
- Don't blow this for me.

-I'm in it for the long game.
-I'm not.

I think Douglas has some mail
for you downstairs.

Oh, uh, oh, oh, I thought
we were cooking dinner.

I'm not ready yet.

I smell bug spray
or, or is it perfume?

-We've get out of here.
-Just give it a sec.

- I hear whispering.
- Huh.

-What is this?
-Put it back.

Is something moving?

What is going on?

Uh, she was looking at your
ant thing and they got all over.

Why do white people
keep ants for pets?

Grandma, you remember Violet?
These are her friends.

Lisa and Nadia.

Is that your real name? Violet?

Of course it is, Grandma.

Oh, let's hope it is.

Well, it's uh, more
of a stage name.

No one uses their real name.

What is your real name?

It's Olivia.

That's pretty.

Well, I can't wait to discover
more about Olivia Black.

- Call me Violet.
- That's why I wanted you

to have dinner together

so you could get
to know each other.

Did I tell you she wants
to study acting at U-Dub?

Well, what about
your spiritual life?

Are you a follower of Jesus?

Sure.

What's the name of your church?

Church of the...

Holy Grail.

That's great. I didn't know.

Well, I think we all should go
to your church this Sunday.

It's much better than dinner.

Or maybe Violet could
come visit our church.

Oh, I want to go to hers.
Who's your pastor?

Monty Python?

I'd love if Violet
could come with us.

I'd love to go.

Well, you'll have to rethink
your wardrobe.

-She can dress how she likes.
-We need to get going.

We'll see you on Sunday.

You really like
that bow tie, huh?

I was thinking maybe we could
spend a little more time
programming,

and little less time trying
to be fancy, huh.

-I'm hoping to be groom someday.
-Let me give you some advice.

Love is blind.

But marriage,
that's an eye opener.

Grandma.

I told Violet
we'd be at church early.

Shawn, I can't stand by...

as you...

I'll call 911.

It's, it's a panic attack.

Just tell me
everything will be okay.

-Everything will be okay.
-You've got to mean it.

You're sure this isn't
the diabetes?

This is how it started
with Grandpa.

You're making it worse.

Everything will be okay.

Everything will be okay.

Everything will be okay.

We never know when
our time will come.

What brought that on?

What do you think?

Something isn't right about
that girl you're seeing.

She's a woman.

- Let's go now.
- Oh, please be sensitive.

I need to let this pass.

Tell Douglas to hold the car.

Now you, uh, sure you all right?

You gave me quite a scare.

It's still ticking,

-but thank you
for asking, Douglas.
-Yeah.

What a beautiful day.

I wish I had someone to go
for a walk with me when
I get off work at five.

Hmm. I think you might find
someone.

This is for you.

Oh, and I found this.

-I think it's yours.
-Isn't that the pin you bought?

Thank you, Mrs. Lambert.

Who sends you
all those packages?

Don't worry about it.

I'd really like to open it.

Fine.

Thanks.

He knows I haven't
painted in colors

since your grandpa passed away.

The doorman's the one
that's been sending you
all these packages.

- He must really like you.
- Oh,

they're just
little gifts, Shawn.

Why won't you date him?

I'm not, we're not--

Don't be absurd.

He's the doorman.

-How do you think it would lock?
-Why do you care?

Well, at my age,
not acting on love is,

the closest I'll come to ever
living out a Jane Austen novel.

Jane Austen?

You, you wouldn't understand.

I told her we'd be here early.

Maybe she came and left.

She's probably at her church
of the Holy Grail,

sitting next to King Arthur.

-Maybe.
-Oh,

girls like her tend
to stay away from the light.

? Through many dangers
toils and snares ?

? I have already come ?

? 'Tis Grace that brought me
safe thus far ?

? And Grace will lead me home ?

I'm sorry. You can't be here.

- I'm sorry.
- I didn't-- -No, this is an exit row.

We need to keep it open.

Oh.

? Amazing grace
how sweet the sound ?

? That saved a wretch like me ?

? I once was lost ?

? But now am found ?

? Was blind but now I see ?

? 'Twas grace that taught
my heart to fear ?

? And grace my fears relieved ?

? How precious did
that grace appear ?

Didn't see you come in.

-We're up front.
-I got called in.

-On a Sunday?
-Yeah.

I wish I could say no.

I like that song.

Feels hopeful.

It's "Amazing Grace."

Hmm, really is.

A car is coming to pick me.

If we were married,
you wouldn't have to worry
about auditions or money.

I'm serious.

I always thought I needed
someone to take care of me,

but now I can see you need
someone to take care
of you, too.

I don't know what
to say to that.

Am I someone you would marry?

Shawn, there's a lot
you don't know about me.

We can get to know one another,

as we spend the rest of our
lives taking care of each other.

I have a past
or the present life.

I've been with men before.

I didn't wait for marriage.

Everyone has a past.

But God gives us
a new beginning.

That's what that "Amazing Grace"
song is all about.

I've read up on autism,
but there's a lot I don't know.

I need some help,

paying bills,

making some decisions.

Reading people's faces,
maybe what to wear now and then.

Though Colin's been a big help
in that department.

And your family?

They would have to accept you

if we were married.

Your grandma would think
I married you for her money.

I don't care.

Violet, I've been waiting
my whole life for that
special someone.

You've been carrying
that around?

For when someone's color
sounds right to me.

That's for me.

Will you marry me, Violet?

Marriage didn't work out
so well for my parents.

We can be different.

Marriage is a big deal to me.

That's why you shouldn't waste
it on someone like me.

Loving someone is never a waste.

I have, I have
to get used to that.

Of course.

Let's do this.

I'm meeting with a therapist
to learn how to desensitize.

That's great.

We're not going the right way.

I have a quick condition, first.

-But our dinner--
-We have time.

Unzip me.

-How'd you do?
-He wants me back.

-Wow.
-He really likes me.

Of course he did.

I just have to get these lines
done by Thursday.

I'm so proud of you.

Shawn almost fell in love
with a disaster.

Colin, Grandma.

I'd like you to meet
the newest member of our family.

We just got married.

Tell me you're joking.

We're not going to go

on a honeymoon right away.

I still have to save up.

I told him I didn't need one.

Shawn, is this a joke?

You know,
I'm not good at pretend.

I figured Violet can
stay at our place

until we can afford
something of our own.

Well, it's not our place.
It's mine.

-And absolutely not.
-But she's family now.

Oh, I did a background check.

Ask her how many times
she's been arrested.

You've been arrested?

I told you I had a past.

Well, maybe she can explain
to you what it's like to be...

arrested for solicitation.

Violet, are you
or are you not a prostitute?

- Let her go.
- Violet.

- Stop.
- She's my bride.

Well, your bride is
taking my rings

-to the nearest pawn shop.
-Doesn't make any sense.

She got a call back
from her audition today.

-No, she's being called back
to some guy's bed.
-Don't say that.

Shawn.

Who knows how many men
she's been with,
how many diseases she has.

- My God.
- Grandma.

-God. Grandma.
-Just tell her everything
will be okay.

Will it?

These are lines
from her audition today.

Violet.

- Violet.
- Go.

What the hell
are you doing, man?

-That's my wife.
-A world girl, pal.

Get to steppin'

Go.

We can get it annulled.

No one will know
it ever happened.

I was...

- so stupid.
- No, no. Don't, don't.
Don't say that.

It's hard for you
to know who to trust.

I can't even trust myself.

That's why I'm here.

You won't be here forever.

What's going on
with your algorithms?

It's done.

That's your score.

I'm two. That's great.

-Why am I not a one?
-Best score is ten.

Hmm. Something's off.

Analysis questions you answered.

How many people rejected
your profile online.

Wow, you did it wrong.

That's an objective rating
of your history.
Two out of ten.

Your time is a complete waste
of my money.

I don't think so.
People should know
what they're getting into.

Look, I can't keep shelling out
money to have you here.

I need something that makes
our app stand out,

not make people feel like crap.

And, and never run me
through your program again.

Don't forget the party tonight.

What happened
to your wedding pictures?

They're just pretend.

Everything is pretend.

You're not yourself.

I thought I found someone.

It turns out she wasn't
who I thought she was.

Everyone hides who they are
until they know they're loved.

So I thought I did love her.

Did you love her for who she is
or who you want her to be?

Love is like friendship
that has caught on fire.

Might want to figure out
if you're burning.

-Burning?
-If you love her.

If she loved you,

she wouldn't have gone back
to sleeping around.

You're right.

Look, I will help you find
someone that would never
cheat on you.

Someone you love so much

you couldn't stand the idea
of her being with someone else.

She's out there.

Maybe she'll be
at the party tonight?

Nah, should go
by yourself tonight.

Okay? You're an adult.
Just be careful who you talk to.

-Where's my Violet?
-Busy.

Tell her I'm thinking about her.

I need to know why you were
at the Pimps and Hoes Party.

So you could break my heart.
Obviously.

-You know my boss, Jake?
-Sure. We all do.

-How well do you know him?
-He likes to give his guests
encouragement.

Me and the girls
are very encouraging.

I need to know what that means.

He fixed up with Anton for us
to spend time with the parties.

Jake thought would be a good fit
with girls from the site.

He's not that bad.
A good tipper.

Have you been with him, Violet?

It doesn't matter anymore.
We're over.

-No more using each other.
-I didn't use you.

I needed a ticket out of here.
And you needed a babysitter.

I told you not to waste
marriage on me.

You should have told me
what you do.

So you can treat me
like your grandma does?

You lied about the auditions.

So I'm not
who you thought I was.

Time to move on.

This is obviously
where I belong.

I miss laughing with you,
talking about the day,
having a meal.

You'll get over me.

Do you miss me?

I don't miss any of my clients.

I wasn't a client.

A non-paying client,
the worst kind.

Now, please be like the rest
of my clients and leave.

I thought you cared about me.

I thought we had a future.

I was playing you.

Maybe you'd seen that
if you weren't so autistic.

Your face changed.

I got so mad when I thought
you had been with Jake.

You're not just a replacement
for my grandma.

I love you.

You're not the first guy
to say that.

But you're still
wearing the rings.

And the wedding dress.

A girl like me isn't going to
wear this kind of dress again.

You can't love me after
everything I've done.

You're my escape plan.
My future inheritance.

That's all.

I don't think that's all.

Well, one of us have
a special first night.

Then you lied about
that audition.

I just went through
the motions with that guy.

Buy his time.

And after the restaurant,
when you ran after me,

I couldn't be with anyone else.

You got into that car.

I pretended that I got sick.

Hmm. I've been here ever since,

telling myself you're
too good to be true.

I always thought it would be
hard to love someone.

To really love someone for real.

But

I never thought it would be so
hard to let someone love me.

I've missed the way
you see the world,

your bad jokes,

the way you care about me.

- They ran out
of people.

In case you want
to trace ants together.

I wondered if we could
runaway together, but...

I don't know why I thought
my pimp never let me go.

When were you going
to tell me about your past?

When I knew you really
loved me, I guess.

How can I really love you
if I didn't know who you were?

Hmm.

Gluten and dairy free.

This is the song I wanted
to play for our first dance.

I've been practicing
desensitization techniques.

You know just what to say.

? I can see you walking
in a garden somewhere ?

? You're bending over flowers
You're holding your hair ?

? There's mud on your shoes ?

? Oh well less
you could not care ?

? You could be anywhere
but here with me ?

? Believe me ?

? I know I'm the lucky one ?

? Believe me ?

? I know it more than anyone ?

? It's hard
That's true ?

? And I know
I don't deserve you ?

? But I dare someone
to love you ?

? More than I do ?

? The universe could hide you ?

? But I would come
and find you ?

? My love ?

? Some people tried to warn you
I would be a mistake ?

? Had a million other reasons ?

? To run me the other way ?

? But you made up your mind
I was the risk you would take ?

? You could be anywhere ?

? You could be anywhere
but here ?

? Believe me ?

? I know who's the lucky one ?

? Believe me ?

Your techniques really work.

? I know it more than anyone ?

? It's hard
That's true ?

? And I know
I don't deserve you ?

? But I dare someone
to love you ?

? More than I do ?

? The universe could hide you ?

? But I would come
and find you my love ?

Good morning, sweetie.

I can't afford you to be sick
no more. Neither can you.

Come on. You've got
a star client waiting.

-The big tipper.
-I'm with a friend.

Her husband.

She doesn't work
for you anymore.

She's mine until
she pays off her debt.

Her debt?

Yeah.

This place ain't cheap.

This town is pricey.

How much to release her
from you?

She ain't for sale.

You put a price tag on her
every night.

Five thousand?

Ten.

Then you'll let her go?

Are you serious about this?

All right, anybody else
gets involved,

and you don't see
your wife again.

Or your fancy grandma.

Got it?

And you keep her off
the streets.

For fifteen thousand
I'll keep her off the streets
under my watchful eye.

I'll see you real soon.

I love you, too.

Are you ready to start
the annulment process?

Violet and I are going
to stay together.

I just need to pay her debt

so I can buy her back
from her pimp.

Fifteen thousand dollars.

You don't need to buy
an impossible marriage.

You can get that for free.

Grandma, I know you have
that kind of money.

I can do five thousand

but that's taking out
cash advances

and giving everything I've got.

Well, maybe he'll give
you a discount.

Does he take coupons?

I have spent my entire
life taking care of you.

And you get married in secret.

-Without bagpipes.
-Bagpipes?

You told grandpa that you'd have
bagpipes at your wedding
to honor our heritage.

You wanted me to marry
someone who's like a woman
from the Bible.

-Because you'd be better off.
-Rahab was a woman
from the Bible.

She was a prostitute,
wasn't she related to Jesus?

And what about Mary Magdalene?

She had her issues

and she saw Jesus
rise from the dead.

Please.

If God can help someone
who isn't perfect,

which is all of us,
then why can't you?

I think it's because
you don't want to love anymore.

- Now you're being mean.
- -"I have never been in love.

It is not my way
or in my nature and
I do not think I ever shall."

Jane Austen said that.

I looked it up.

I was joking when I said

I wanted to live like
one of her novels.

Well, the joke's on the doorman
and on my wife,

and on your colorless paintings.

You're late for work.

And you better
bring back my rings.

Who put all my stuff
in this box?

I hope you have more luck
finding your next job,

then you've had finding
your next date.

You didn't get the message?

I think we should ask people
where they're going,

who they'd like to be with,

create algorithms based
on their answers,

make scores about the future
instead of the past.

We need people
looking not finding.

Finding is bad for business.

This will keep them
looking for someone

who matches their destiny score.

It'll be unique to our app.
I could run you some examples--

I think you need to concentrate
on your own destiny, Shawn.

And I need help with Violet,
who you hired for your parties,

to get her out of prostitution.

I bring in performers
now and then.

What they do in their own time
is up to them.

If you loan me ten thousand
against my future salary,

I can buy back violets freedom.

Future salary? Shawn
you don't work here anymore.

I'm not going to tell the police
unless you do it again.

What am I supposed to do?
Hire clowns for my parties?

-Clowns are not sexy.
-Your business is growing.

Maybe you can find a place
for them here.

You know what? I hired
entertainers, nothing more.

Get to work on this
"destiny score" okay?

I want to see some examples.

I'm proud of you
for standing up to Jake.

He's a work in progress.

You don't know
what he's been doing.

I'm working on him.

Just... I'm working on him.

I want to be with Violet.

- I know she'll need
counselling, and--
- You got me in trouble.

My manager saw me texting you,
and I told her about your crazy
idea to buy Violet back.

It's not crazy.

Yeah, well, my manager
didn't think so, either.

She told me that the beans
from some of our coffee

come from a town where
the profits help keep women
out of human trafficking.

Made me realize that
I could help someone
who needs their freedom.

This is for Violet's debt.
That's two thousand.
That's all I have.

Why does your face
look like that?

You've never hugged me, bro.

It's worth it.

I have over half.

Mmm. The light's too bright.

Okay.

You all right?

Hmm.

Where's Goldie?

In a better place.

Oh, I thought I cleaned
all that up.

what happened?

Wedding gift from Anton.

- I'm calling the police.
- No, please.

The police put girls like me
behind bars, not the guys
who pimp us.

Anton would make the girls
and I pay for that.

Maybe he'll take what I have.

That's so sweet.

But even if you had everything,

he'd kill me before
he'd let me go.

I overheard him talking
to a gangbanger about
moving us to Portland.

I'm glad I could see you
before he did.

You're coming
to my grandmother's home.

That's the first place
he'd look.

And I don't think
she'd exactly put out
the welcome mat.

My brother's place, then?

Girls have tried to run away
from him before.

He works with other gangs,
they track women down,
then they go missing.

You should leave
before he comes back,

before it gets worse.

Not without you.

As long as he thinks
we're together,
he'll know how to find me.

Then we'll have to make it seem
like we're not together anymore.

Like we broke up.

Sweetie, the case is over.

You're right. He needs to think
we're over each other.

Get out!

Don't you get it? It was all
a lie. You're just another John.

- Tell me you love me.
- I do love you.

You don't know what love is

and I am done selling
mine to you.

Go over there. I'll slap you.

-Too painful, can't handle pain.
-Shush.

-I'm very sensitive.
-Just,

just turn your head and
think of a painful time

so it feels real or pretend.

- That's, that's method acting
or some
- Okay.

I never want to see
your face again.

We're finished. Over, done.

- Go away.
- I wish I never met you.

Ahh.

I never want to see you again.

You're bothering my sweetie?

We're finished
together for good.

We're over. He gets, he gets it.

He was just leaving.

Got my fifteen g's on you?

He gets it.

I don't think so.

Something wrong with the way
this one thinks.

It's like I'm beating
a freaking kill here.

Oh, what's this?

A going away present?

Hmm, nice.

Time for you to go away.

Go out the back exit,
don't cause a scene.

You've got a guy coming up.

He doesn't care what you
look like. Just wants it dark.

All right. No faces. Anonymous.

I'm, I'm still sick.
I need a doctor.

I tell you what you need?

Now get the freaking lights off

and I'm gonna bring
him up right now.

And take off that toy ring.

Good night.

-What happened?
-We were in a bad part of town.

We'll be all right.

-Have you called the police?
-We did everything we could.

-There must be more to this.
-Well...

I wondered what Violet saw
in her pimp.

Then it hit me.

Look at the colors on my face.

What do you hear?

Trouble.

I got my wife back after all.

How did I do it?

Beats me.

You've clearly suffered
brain damage.

Shawn, please go to the bathroom

and wet a washcloth
and bring back a glass of water.

- All right, I can do that.
- No, no, it's fine.

Ten thousand dollars,

if you leave my grandson
and Seattle and never come back.

Mm-hmm.

I heard you wanted to go
to the University of Washington.

What's their school color?
Um, that's right, the violet.

How would Violet like
to be a violet?

Just leave Shawn alone.

Their color is purple.

And I know marriage
won't be easy.

I need counselling, rehab,

but we're in this together.

Twenty thousand.

I once thought
I wanted your money.

But now I see my husband
is priceless.

I know what's important to you.

Um, hello, Douglas.

It's rather late.

Just a moment.

There's an Anton here
to see you.

Douglas, um, we're
not having visitors tonight.

Please show him out.

Who was that?

Violet needs
to stay here tonight.

-I'm getting worried.
-We just need to figure
some things out.

You can sleep here tonight.

But tonight only.

We need to call the police.

They won't do anything.

When I moved here,

I had no money and Anton
took care of everything.

He'll say,
I was paying him back.

You don't pay someone back
with your body.

You think I wanted to?

Come on, you can do better
than that. Bottoms up.

Every time I tried to stop,

he told me he'd kill me
if I didn't keep going.

So sorry.

I, I, I found out later
the guy from the hotel

did that as a service
with different gangs.

That's how they break you.

Looks like the police have
a special squad that help
with human trafficking cases.

I was paying a debt.

Human trafficking is the trade
of humans for the purpose of

forced labor, sexual slavery or
commercial sexual exploitation.

Thank you, Mr. Google.

Anton is downstairs.

-I'll talk to him.
-No.

-He'll never leave us alone.
-That's how he talks.

Douglas, please
make him go away.

You can send a text to get help.

Looks like they have rehab
and other services.

Your pajamas look a lot like
what you wore yesterday.

I, I might have something
that fits you.

I need to pick up a few things
back at my place.

You can't,
you can't go back there.

Anton doesn't
control me anymore.

You thought you could still get
back here without saying hello?

You got a backlog of customers

just waiting to get
a taste of you.

I've, I've worked
for you long enough.

And you keep coming back.

You know what?
I think you might need
a little taste of some.

Huh? Whatever you want.

You need a little
pick-me-up? Mm?

You want something stronger?
More? Done.

But you still have a debt to me.

You only counted everything as
a debt to keep me in this life.

- You all just do what I had to do.
- -What about Alicia?

Nadia?

When is their debt going to end?

You know, they've never
had it so good.

And you, I always treated
like family.

You know what?

Let's get you back online.

But this time, I'll let you
pick who you meet with.

Well, within reason, of course.

You're a small operation,
I'm moving on.

Look, I got a meeting
with the Westside Gang.

We're gonna partner up.

They've got a lot of connections

and some feel good meds.

You'll like it.

The band's gonna be hot tonight.

I came here to prove to myself
I'm free from you.

Only think you proved is
just how stupid you really are.

I'm smarter than you think.

For God so loved the world that
he gave his one and only son.

God is a giver.
He's a generous guy.

There's nothing you can do
to add to that generosity.

In fact, you could say it this
way that there is nothing you
could possibly do in your life,

that could make God love you
more or less than
he does right now.

? Thou hast taught me to say ?

? It is well ?

? It is well with my soul ?

? It is well ?

? With my soul ?

? It is well ?

? It is well with my soul ?

? It is well ?

? It is well with my soul ?

I saw you at church.

Between that and counselling
I'm a walking wound.

A healing wound.

I'd love for you to sit
by me next time.

We'll see.

That looks pricey.

It's called designment.

I wanted you to have
something to wear

while I saved up for a real one.

Thank you.

Your friends are here.

What friends?

Did you invite someone?

We're out on a day pass.

-From jail?
-No, grandma, from rehab.

Delivery.

- What's going on?
- Scottish afternoon tea.

These shouldn't be
served from a box.

These are for you.

I wish I could paint like that.

Maybe grandma could teach you.

Delicious.

I think we should go
to Gasworks Park tonight.

Hmm.

I rather stay in.

You know what I love
about that place?

People thought
it was worthless--

Until someone realized it
could be beautiful.

Actually, I was going to say

until someone realized that
all they needed was a new start.

-Oh.
-We need a new start.

-We got one.
-Not for everything.

What are you doing?

Now that I know you,

all of you,

will you marry me?

I thought we were married.

Yes or no?

Yes.

That car is for you.

I hope you still like surprises.

Well, dearly beloved,
we're gathered here today

in the sight of God,
to witness the joining together

-of Shawn and Violet
in Holy Matrimony--
-Oliva.

It's Olivia.
