Original subtitles

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 bit bad 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, lotteries. So what happened?

You know what happened. You showed up.

My last 48 hours started, and my luck's gone south. Duke,

you ducked out of me for a whole day.

Tell me you didn't lose everything.

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 monsters 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?

All right, let's go.

I took out a second mortgage on my mother's house, came 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 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...

Jasper, no! What have you done?

Sorry about your friend, but we need to talk.

Private. Jasper, no.

Please don't. Manny wants his money, Duke. 150 large. You get it on you?

Uh, no.

I can get it.

I swear to God, Jasper. 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 message.

You hear me?

Understand? So it's either you or me.

No, no, I got it. We just gotta go to my hotel, and it's in the safe.

Look, we used to work the numbers.

You're gonna leave him alone, do you understand? I can't!

I gotta bring back the money!

You tell Duke he killed me!

I'm a dead man now, and he killed me!

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 that out of my face? Just give me the money.

I'm working a double shift, Hank. I'll give it to you tonight. Give me the money.

I'm sure your friend will help you out.

God, he's such a bastard. Look, the offer still stands, Jillian.

You and Steffi can come stay with me anytime. Thanks.

But you know what happened last night.

You thought you could hide out here? You have a kid. You have responsibility.

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?

He's hitting her.

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 going to tell her about us. I mean,

I feel like I'm lying to her by keeping it a secret.

But she seemed so freaked out. 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.

He's a guy.

What are you saying, that all guys suck?

I used to think so.

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.

Thank you.

Where are you?

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 going to come back.

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

I finally paid off the mortgage on the house.

Mom's 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 have 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 have killed me. I didn't have the money, Morgan.

I'm sorry.

Is it time?

You gotta help me! No! You gotta help me! You gotta do something!

I can't!

It's too late!

Maya? Maya?

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 your face like... 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 a poor sucker going to hell who can see the portal.

Any client can see it.

They just hardly ever cross paths at the big moment.

You know what I'm saying?

Maya, it's me.

Maya, open the door.

What was that?

Open the door and we'll talk about it.

You don't have a choice anymore. You have to talk to me.

I don't understand why you didn't tell me. Tell you what?

Stop, 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.

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?

The portal to what?

I know.

Nobody ever imagines what it's going to be like.

They can't know what it's going to be like when they make their deal.

Deal? Maya, stop it!

I know.

It's time for you to tell me the truth. Batman in the closet! Get out of 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, Cordy. You're dead.

The real Cordy is dead.

I took his soul to weaken the man.

Okay, so... 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 want to know?

Do you want to 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.

I'm not going to hurt you, and I am the one who kept you alive, for God's sake.

Actually, for my sake.

Twice.

Twice? Oh, the second time doesn't really count, I guess. I mean,

it's all part of the warranty.

You remember this?

The day your mama took this picture?

The day before all the nastiness started?

No, you don't.

Yes.

That was you, the real you.

But you killed that body with your evil, junky 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.

It's your basic soul transplant. You know, it's pretty simple.

As long as you don't spill it.

You knew me before. You knew me as her.

No.

At least I don't remember. This could all be lies.

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 fruit of their deal with the devil.

That's why you did it.

That's why you cured her of AIDS. 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.

What were you doing?

Oh, we were out in the hallway. Walker was all weepy. Oh, please,

I don't mind dying of AIDS.

Please, just don't take my soul.

That's when I came for you.

You'd give anything to live.

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.

Um, 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 asses feeding beside them.

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 slack sometimes, huh?

And also their asses in oxen.

Come on, time for bed.

Gabe, come on, it's really late.

Gabe, let's go. This isn't real.

This isn't real.

The devil isn't real. Maria. He's not real.

The devil is just some fantasy.

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.

You'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 going to 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.

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?

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 them.

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.

Deals create bad luck, even if clients sell their souls to do good.

What kind of bad luck?

Depends on the deal.

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

I'm hurting somebody?

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.

What are you 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 Stuffy?

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 didn't take care of this myself.

You came. She's my daughter.

I know.

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 70...

I 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.

Are you saying that you put Hank up to this?

No, no. Psycho bitch. She said you were my friend.

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

I will kill you. I swear to God, I will kill you!

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 got to 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 she'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.

Maya? It's me, Taylor. You there?

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.

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. Actually,

we're doing a little more than seeing.

Not that you want to know the details.

I wanted to tell you, but you were already really upset about, you know, Morgan,

and I didn't want to make things worse.

You couldn't make things worse.

Oh.

Did something happen between you and Morgan? Yeah. Something happened.

Do you want to talk about it?

It's not something I can talk about.

I understand. Gabe, better go, buddy.

Gabe?

What are you doing here?

I'm here to get Steffi. I can't help. Julian sent you? I know what's going on.

Let me give you some advice.

Get lost.

I'm going to get Stefan. Look, pal, you got to jump on me once,

but it'd be a lot better off you and that little

bitch Maya stay out of my freaking 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.

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.

You know, you know better than I am, you'd do the same thing.

You still want to protect her.

You know that if she stays, it's only going to get worse.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't want to stop. I know.

I tried to kill myself a hundred times, and I can't.

I can't do it.

Just take it, take it for just one minute.

He said there was nothing we could do.

Why'd you bring her here?

The little boy with Taylor?

His name's Gabe.

He lost his mother because of me.

Because she found out who I was. 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 against Steffi. I don't know.

Maybe it was a reflex or some small way of 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 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.

You're 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 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.

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.

I just don't like finding my little girl in a strange man's bed.

Have you?

Especially after what Maya said.

Forgive me if I'm not very trusting.

I'll be honest with you.

I don't know what's going to happen, but you can stay here tonight.

And tomorrow, Maya and I will try and find you someplace safe to take stuff.

I'm not sure there is a place that would be safe for us.

It's okay.

They need a place to stay.

I got a nice little crib on the second terrace of Purgatory that'll work.

That's where you go for the sin of envy, you know.

Get your eyes all sewn shut so they could be incognito.

Why do you do it?

What do you get out of hurting us? Bad childhood.

See, Adam Neve used to beat me up after school.

I'd rather not talk about it.

Hey, whoa, what's the matter? 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 them to do. Hank's not an evil man.

If he were, he never would have let her go.

He was scared of you.

You got the muscles.

They're fighting you, and you don't like it. Oh, come on, man.

I like Spunk.

Ain't nobody give me more crap than you do.

And you are my number one nizzle for chisel.

You like to win.

That's the only reason Maya's involved in this.

That's the only reason this little girl is suffering.

Damn, dawg.

Why you always gotta look on the bad side?

I got cavemen been doing the brimstone dance since

the Stone Age with better attitudes than you.

You got to look for the silver lining on this whole thing with mine.

Silver lining?

Think about it.

She can't die before her deal's done, no matter what happens to her.

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

It's a perfect setup.

For what?

For her to be your little helper.

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. If she kicks enough devil booty,

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

Soul saved.

Ka-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. Pimp?

Thank you.

Wow.

Okay.

You got no beef with me. I'm not your friend, Taker.

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.

She wouldn't talk about it, but whatever it is, it's bad. Ty,

you'd know what happens when she gets isolated.

Look, if you want to back off, that's fine, but I can't. We're connected now.

Because I'm in love with her brother.

Did I really say that?

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.

But he shot you.

We'll talk about it later.

It's from Jillian.

We have to go back. We have to go back. We have to go back. We have to go back.

I want to see him.

Who?

The devil.

At your service.

Who ordered the mojitos and smack?

If you know what's going to 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...

Thank you. 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 want to help her, but it's impossible.

You sold your soul for ten 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.

You make him a counteroffer, 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 ten years to go.

The Gomer! No, Hank! No!

No!

You've got to take me, please. You've got to

take me now. I can't. Don't argue with me.

I can't do that. Push the button.

Let's do it! Send me out, for God's sake! Push it! Push it!

Push it!

I love you.

I don't know.
