All these times,

now's the time to say a joke?

No, I mean, maybe...

- Maybe we can fix your hair.

- Fix it? You can fix this?

No, you can...

You could wash it...

You could sleep on it and,

look, tomorrow it will be...

It'll be back to normaI,

all right? Maybe?

- You really think so?

- Yeah.

Why don't we

pick up some dinner?

Hey. Don't offer to cook dinner

if you're going to be three hours late.

Look, I'm sorry, Tina, but I was...

Save it. I was crazy

to think I could count on you.

I was gonna ask you to look after Zooey

while I go to London for work.

Then, go.

Really, you should go,

I can handle it.

You can't handle dinner.

How are you gonna handle a teenager?

How about I just diffused

a major meltdown. Her hair, OK?

I have to take the first flight

out tomorrow morning.

I'm calling a sitter.

I was late because I found

a doctor who can help me.

- What?

- There's, um...

There's a specialist here

in Paris who has

a experimentaI drug

she's willing to test on me.

ExperimentaI.

What exactly does that mean?

It means I might be able to spend a little

more time with you and Zooey.

You should have called, Ethan,

because I was going to kill you.

Can we just, like, maybe quit

fighting for a second.

Maybe not talk about

killing someone? Me.

I could grill us up some of this tuna.

- Tuna?

- Yeah.

- Tuna.

- With all that mercury?

No way!

You're gonna fix that door, right?

Oh. Um...

Yeah, that was a mistake.

You haven't been here 24 hours.

I hope the sofa is going

to be comfortable.

Yeah. Better than a cot in Karachi.

Do you need something

to help you sleep?

Yeah, I'm gonna need it now.

You're terrible.

I knew you would call.

What the hell did you give me?

- You're not coming over?

- No. I'm dizzy.

My head... My head's dizzy.

Vivi.

- Read the manuaI.

- Wait! I'm hallucinating.

I'm hallucinating.

- Take a shot of vodka.

- What?

Vodka. It'll take the edge off.

Is everything OK?

Yeah.

- I had a little trouble finding the vodka.

- Huh.

Listen, you can call me

anytime you want.

It's only a one hour difference

between Paris and London.

- There you are.

- And you can call me, too.

- I love you.

All right.

I'll be back in a couple of days,

I'm running late.

- Your daddy has a list.

- Kind of a big list.

- Washing powder...

- I'll see you guys!

- Have fun!

- ... for black clothes.

Zooey, come on, breakfast.

Look at me. Come on.

Just one time up here.

One time.

Atta girl.

Zooey!

Oh.

What?

Wow, it's...

- It's what?

- Geez.

- So, what, Ethan?

- It's...

It's so red.

Vivi?

Are you going to get that?

Sorry. Nobody important,

just my boss, Vivi.

Was she the one calling you

in the middle of the night?

We talk a lot because

we sell internationally.

It's always daytime somewhere.

All right, so now we've got

three days to kill.

What are you doing?

It's called a ringtone, Ethan.

I'm giving you mine.

Maybe we can talk more

than once a year.

"I LOVE IT")

There. Welcome to this century.

Zooey. Zooey.

Don't you want to ride

your bike to schooI?

You think Hugh's

gonna like my hair color?

Yes, I do.

- Really?

- Yes.

- You think he'll really love it?

- Well, if he cares about you he will.

So you don't love it?

No.

No, I mean, yes, Zooey.

Zooey, I really love it.

Awesome.

I can see you don't

believe in the customary

forty-eight-hour window between kills.

Well, you only have three days left.

I'm not getting into your car, Vivi.

Not untiI I get a second opinion on that

whatever it was you gave me.

- I told you it's kosher.

- No, it's not.

- Aw.

- The manuaI says,

if you'd bothered to read it,

you'd find out if I can't keep

my heart rate lower,

that sh*t's gonna act

like a hallucinogen.

So keep your heart rate low.

Yeah, well, it's kind of hard

with the job you got me doing.

Get in the car already.

I need you to locate

the Italian accountant

who cooks the books

for your old friend the Albino.

How am I supposed to locate this guy?

With the help of this man.

His name is Mitat Yilmaz.

He runs a limo service

that caters to the Albino.

Get to know him, he'll lead you

straight to the accountant.

All right.

- And, Ethan?

- Yeah?

Lose the bike.

- Buy a suit.

- Why?

So, you understand we are

a luxury car service, right?

- Yeah.

- How did you come to hear of us?

An Albino told me.

Did he also tell you

that we offer discreet luxury?

He told me not to talk to the hired help,

to talk to the boss.

We're not the help, OK?

We are the executive vice president of sales.

Ooohh!

You're a couple of turds.

Listen, a**hole...

...little piece of turd,

you're nobody to us.

And you will never meet the boss.

Understand?

All right, I'm sorry.

Yeah.

I had a really weird night,

you know,

a couple ofweird nights.

Jetlagged.

I think maybe we got

off on the wrong foot. My fault.

Yeah.

Can we start again?

Let's start again.

Jesus Christ, I'm starting to think

you can see the EiffeI Tower from

everywhere in this town.

You are a very rude man

to sit behind my desk

without an invitation, Mr...?

Why are names important right now?

Because I don't want

to kill a totaI stranger.

What do you want

to kill me for, Mitat?

You are sitting in my chair.

I'm just waiting for you.

The Albino sent you, huh?

Bastard!

I've always been loyaI.

Please...

- These your girls in the picture?

- How dare you look at them?!

Sit down.

I also have a pretty teenage daughter.

Father to father,

your girls ever

lock themselves in their room,

you know?

Cut their hair, paint it red, you know?

Put wigs on and sh*t like that?

No. Never.

I knew it! I'm in trouble.

- So the Albino didn't send you to kill me?

- No.

Then who are you?

Ethan. Come on.

"SOUL SEARCHING" PLAYS)

I'm gonna have a conversation

with this man in the bathroom.

I do not want to be disturbed.

Yes. Rule #2:

Do whatever you say.

That's right, Rule #2.

- He's a bad guy?

- Something like that.

And you are a good guy?

You are a professionaI, huh?

Why have I never seen you

in Paris before?

I've been away on business

for about five years.

What is so important that you'd

leave your daughter so long?

Well, I was never good

at balancing work and family.

You know, when I go home,

this life, the killing,

the rest it all disappears.

I made the wrong choice leaving.

Everyday I bring my girls to schooI

and I have dinner with my family.

That's the key.

Oh, good for you, Mitat.

So let's not miss dinner tonight, hmm?

When is the accountant

arriving in Paris?

Please remind me,

who is he again?

- Hello?

- Hello, Mrs. DriskaI here.

I'd like to have a word with

Zooey's father.

I'm Zooey's father.

Is she all right?

Zooey's fine,

but we need to meet.

We need to have a conversation

about Zooey's behavior.

I can be there right away.

Well, do hurry.

We're going to schooI.

As I was saying to Zooey,

study after study has shown that

aggression is exacerbated
