Just make sure he walks you to

your car every night, ok ?

- Ok.

You say, you're okay.

You're okay, right?

I'm fine.

What, what's the matter?

It's just that..may be I could have got

her another extension.

Chris, no,

don't do that.

You said, the bank granted this woman

two extensions already, right?

I'm sorry, if you don't pay your mortgage

you will loose your house...

what's this woman expect?

It's not your fault.

Can't beat yourself up over it.

What is it?

What's wrong?

Did you hear that?

- What?

Really? You didn't?

- No, what?

I know this is gonna sound weird,

but I wanna get my fortune, right!

Now, are you kidding?

Come on Chris,

I read your fortune for you.

Eh..in the near future, we gonna

get in the car, go home & relax.

I really need to do this.

Why, because of what happened

with that woman?

Chris, I really think we should just

get to home now.

Can you do this for me?

Pray to god,

none of my students see me here...

Only class I'll be able to teach,like,

hypocracy one on one.

So many things to choose from here,

unfortunately not one am looking for...

..which is a weird little dried monkey head.

Oh, wait, never mind!

He's got one.

I'm Rham Jas.

Seer.

I'm Christine,

and this is Clay.

You probaly already knew that, right?

Just kidding.

How can I help you?

- I would like have my fortune, right?

Can you do that?

- I have the abilities to see

certain energies.

Sometimes these energies, are foretell

to things to come.

$60, please.

- Seriously?

- Yes.

Doesn't that seem little cheap

for this weird thing?

If your not serious...

Please, go.

Alright.

C'mon, Chris.

Wait, wait, I'll pay.

Oh, you know what,

I got it.

I got it.

Platinum card, very good.

Thank you.

Here, here.

- Thanks.

Ah..ah, please.

So, you wish to know something about

your destiny?

- Yes.

Very good, lets see what the fate

has in store!

You know, Freud said destiny was not

a act of fate...

But rather s'thing created by subconscious to

control our conscious choices.

That's true!

But we cannot attempt to understand

the world, by intellect alone.

Oh, Karl Jung.

- Yes.

From his teachings,

"Psycological Types"

So...

Jung, new-age's favourite psychologist.

- Because he wasn't afraid to bring God

into the equation

Wow! He wasn't afraid to bring God...

Clay, Clay..c'mon !

- Ok, I know..c'mon, let's start

Shall we?

I'm ready.

- Ok.

Please, give me your hand

- Okay.

You work with money.

That's right.

And you recently lost something?

No,

No, I don't think so.

- No..no,

you haven't lost anything...

but something has been taken

from you.

No.

A button.

- Oh my God.

Yes.

Why would he say she's missing

a button, so what?

Clay, this was really strange!

The old woman from today, she took

a button from my sleeve.

Why would she do that?

- You both, please be just quiet?

I think that's enough for tonight.

What's wrong?

I'm tired and I see it's

become quite late.

I will of course refund your money.

- Wait, wait ...

Did you see something?

A dark spirit has come upon you.

- What do you mean?

Oh, you...

- You...the dead or visiting the graveyard?

No.

- You play the Ouija board or sort with

who practise the black art?

Alright, take it easy,man. C'mon!

No, Wait..wait.

No, no..I didn't!

Perhaps, someone has cursed you.

Then how did he know all that?

Know what?

Did you lost a button?

By the way, he didn't really

know that much,

He makes a couple of good guesses...

He stirs you up and leaves you

all these questions.

And conveniently, his business card.

Come on, Chris.

He's a scam artist.

But he didn't want the money, he tried

to give it back, remember?

Well, he sorta tried. But in the end

he took it, didn't?

I guess so.

I gotta go tow in the car,

you gonna be ok?

Yeah.

- Alright?

Kitty, care for her.

- I'm see you in an hour.

Here, put that on your lip.

- Thank you.

I can't beleive she came to the house.

This is so nasty..

I'm calling the cops

It wasn't her

- Who was it then?

I don't know, I couldn't see

who was.

Ofcourse, it's her.

Had to be her.

No, Clay.

It wasn't anyone.

It was somebody

Chris, there had to be somebody

The lights were out, so I couldn't see

who it was but I guess...

Clay, there wasn't anybody here.

Then, who did this?

Who...

Who hit you in the face?

I think, it's just reaction of her being

attacked earlier in the day.

- Yeah, classic symptoms of

post-traumatic stress.

- Yeah, she showing signs of panicking,

apparently yeah, so...

Let me walk you out.

- No, no, no...I'm fine.

- Alright.

How you doing?

- Better.

Especially after the doctor explained

it to me.

He..he said that victims of violence,

they re-experience trauma

I misinterpreted it to be something

more than it was.

It happens.

I just.., I feel...

kind of embarrassed.

- Are you kidding? No...

You never have to be embarrassed

with me.

Listen, I was thinking may be we could

take a little trip on saturday

Get on the train and go

to Santa Barbara.

Your folks cabin?

- Yeah, if you aren't afraid of the cabin

Oh, my God..I would love to!

Yeah, okay.

That would be so exciting.

- Oh baby, you gonna love it.

You gonna love it.

I'll make sure you see this trees..

and...

It's private, it would be great,

it would be good...

And I think we need to..we can..

We can just talk.

or...f***!

What?

What's wrong?

I couldn't...

I couldn't wake up!

It's ok, ok.

Come here.

It's just a dream.

Oh baby, that's the rent-a-car, they

dropped off this morning.

- Thanks

Sure.

I love you

- I love you too.

Hey baby...try not to piss off

any old ladies today, ok.

Hey, Christine. What...

you just getting here?

What you the hour monitor?

Haha, very funny, Christine.

Oh, What's this?

What do you want?

I'm here to finish me teaching

the loan procedures.

I have got a lot on my mind.

Can we do this tommorrow?

- Sure.

Okay.

I will just tell Mr.Jacks, you don't have

the time right now. Maybe...

No, no.

Ok, I'll do it.

Ok.

We were going over the asset based

lending guidelines.

- Alrite.

Let's say your client is a company that

can't get traditional bank financing.

And?

- And...

And?

- And...

Hey, get your filthy pig knuckles

off my desk!

Christine...blood!

Brown.

Christine...your nose.

Yeah, sure...can you hold?

Here, let me help you

- No, it's going outta control.

What is with you?

Mr. Jacks?

Did I get any in my mouth?

Oh, my God!

Did I get any in my mouth?

Let me check & get you cleaned.

I'm so sorry!

Oh, my God!

What was that about?

It's just a nose bleed.

Did I get any in my mouth?

What is it?

Hi, I came to see Sylvia Ganush,

is she here?

Who are you?

I am...a friend of hers.

Someone...

- Wait.

I know who you are!

Grandma told me, you would come.

You're the woman from the bank.

The one who took her out

Actually it was the bank that took the house.

I..I mean, I just work there.

Infact, I tried to help your grandma
