Noah...

You realize

no one can hear you.

Murder!

[SCREAMS]

So I am dead.

Not yet.

Are you the devil?

No!

Angel?

Once upon a time.

[BED FRAME RATTLING]

F*** you, dude.

No, f*** this!

No! Who the f*** are you?

Why me? Why me?

I can't tell you how many times

I've heard that,

and it never gets old.

Stop! Just listen.

I love my life.

I love my life.

Yeah, see that right there

is the reason

I get to kill you.

Even want to take you soul.

Let me give you

the quick truth, Noah,

as it is in on earth,

so it is in heaven.

Or in your case, hell.

No!

You are mine,

you disgusting, self-absorbed,

putrid little f***er.

I love my life.

All right!

I'm convinced!

You want to live.

So here's what I'm gonna do

for you, Noah.

Think of it as a test.

You're gonna kill for me

so I don't have to.

No.

No, I can't do that.

There's gotta be another way.

There's gotta be

like a loophole.

Oh!

I like your style, Noah.

I like the way you think.

I believe we are now

on the same page

'cause I love cutting corners

for the sake of convenience.

I understand.

I do.

I'd probably hesitate, too.

Count my costs,

weigh my options,

if I was in your condition.

Well, listen, Noah,

the soul I've chosen

for you, he's sick.

Barely hanging on by a thread.

Sh*t, you're almost

doing him a favor.

So what do you say?

Kill for me, Noah.

Show me what

you're really made of,

and you can live.

Room 223.

[BEEPING]

What did you do to yourself?

Please come back to me.

Room 223.

[MONITOR BEEPING]

[BEEPING CONTINUES]

[RAPID BEEPING]

[SUSTAINED BEEP]

[GASPING]

[SUSTAINED BEEP]

[SOBBING]

Who's there?

I know you're there.

Say something.

You're just going to leave?

Uh... I'm sorry.

I'm in the wrong room.

I made... It's my mistake.

Oh.

Do you need me to help you?

How can you help me?

Back to your bed.

No.

I know exactly where I am.

But you?

You don't know where you are...

or where you're going.

Did you like it?

What?

Well...

my ass.

How did it look?

It's flattering, actually.

Makes me think

you might listen,

if only for the view.

You're blind,

and you know that I'm here.

The doctors and the nurses,

they're not blind,

but they can't see me.

No one can see you

like I can, Noah.

I can smell your fear,

you know.

I don't know

what you're talking about.

Yes, you do.

Do you want my help?

How can you help me?

Tell me who you are.

You don't want to know.

Are you scared to find out?

I'm sorry that I disturbed you.

Noah!

He who lays down his life

for the truth...

can save it.

Jesus God, help me.

Hah!

Ah, my Noah...

it's a little late to be

calling on the Savior now.

I haven't been close

to anyone for a long time.

Yeah.

Matt said you lost your family.

My daughter Dani, she was...

she was the only good thing

in my life.

What happened?

I was late.

I was supposed to pick up Dani,

but I was always f***ing late.

She must of thought she saw me

walk into this building.

The building collapsed.

It was like some f***ing

Greek tragedy.

What caused the collapse?

Greed.

What the hell

are you doing here?

Investigating.

You're a long way

from Houston, boy.

And as I recall,

you ain't a cop anymore.

Just a couple seconds, guys.

I'm just a concerned citizen.

Say what...

what this make it?

Is that two

for Bickman International?

Now what are

the chances of that?

It's a horrible tragedy.

Tragedy seems

to follow you around.

Reynolds, my office

is in compliance

with every federal, state,

and local ordinance.

You know, we did all we could

after the accident.

Motherfuck!

You killed my family!

Are you sure you want

to go here again, boy?

Get this piece of sh*t

off my property.

[RINGING]

Hello?

Hey, Miranda.

Hi, David.

How you holding up?

[SIGHS]

I just can't believe

this is happening.

How's Noah?

They can't tell me

what's going on.

The doctors don't know,

and, um...

he's unresponsive.

Well, I just want to make sure

that you and Noah

can continue on

with your lives together

when he does wake up.

What do you mean?

Well, people are starting

to ask a lot of questions.

I want to make sure we got

nothing to worry about.

I understand.

[MONITOR BEEPING]

I'm wasting my mercy on you.

Wake the f*** up, b*tch.

And stop lying there visible.

C*nt.

She can't help you.

This is about saving yourself.

Why are you still here?

I did what you asked.

Yeah, you did,

and you did it splendidly.

You passed

your first test, Noah,

with flying colors.

Leave me alone.

I want my life back.

I will...

just as soon as you fulfill

my quota for me.

What?

That's not what you said.

I came here for five souls,

and you will

take them all for me.

Just think,

only four more,

and you'll be free.

No.

The next is a woman.

All alone.

I can't.

No.

It's your choice.

Death...

[SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING SUBSIDES]

Or life.

Remember, Noah,

it's my will be done.

[MACHINE WHIRRING]

[WHIRRING]

[WHIRRING]

Goddamn it, Sam.

You think this is a joke?

- You were f***ing lucky.

- What?

The history that you and

Bickman have, and you used to...

You are lucky that

you are not behind bars.

He's a goddamn

soul merchant, Sarah,

scarifying innocent people

for a few f***ing dollars.

You know, he's right.

You are goddamn insane.

You forget about a little thing

called judicial procedure

or, I don't know,

admissible evidence.

I tried that!

It didn't work!

Okay, so what are you gonna do,

beat him up?

Two whiskeys, please.

What do you really know

about Bickman?

Meaning?

Meaning has your

two-year obsession

left you with anything

other than a hangover.

Why? Are you gonna help me?

Hmph. No.

You're gonna help me.

Your knowledge of Bickman

is going to be used

as part of an investigation,

not a vendetta,

and you are going

to do things my way,

or we can call it a night.

Is that gonna work for you?

Yeah.

F*** you.

These are both for me.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women

and blessed is the fruit

of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God,

pray for us sinners now

and at the hour of our death.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us...

So what am I supposed to say?

Nothing. Wait here.

Hi, guys. We're here to see

David Bickman.

And I'm gonna need

a guest pass as well.

Great. Thank you.

Put this on.

[DING]

Mr. Reynolds, do I need

to alert security

and have them waiting for you

when you get upstairs?

Mr. Bickman, Detective Walters.

We spoke on the phone earlier.

Mr. Reynolds is part of

the investigation as well.

Well, you just see to it that

you keep a good eye on him.

[DING]

This is our conference room.

I'm gonna set up a workspace

for you to use.

The file room is upstairs.

User name is "Bickman."

Password is "Bickman Guest."
