Priceless Page #4

you're not gonna like it.

Let's go.

We'll see you soon.

Em? Hey. Are you there?

Emerson?

Open the door.

It's Dale.

Get your stuff.

Where are we going?

My place.

You hungry?

Yeah.

Here you go.

Some eggs with a side of eggs.

Why are you

helping me like this?

I never get in the way

of a man trying to do something good.

I didn't set out

to do anything good.

I know you didn't.

But you can't help it.

That's what makes it good.

Sometimes with a little push

an ordinary man can do

extraordinary things.

I'm sorry.

Look, I gotta get back into town.

I gotta find those girls.

Yep.

They'll be looking for you

on that bike though.

Can you drive?

Come on, man.

Hopefully better

than you can ride.

Yo.

What do you think

you're doing, man?

- Bro, you set me up.

- No one set you up, James.

You said you didn't care

as long as it wasn't drugs,

and it wasn't.

These girls don't belong to you.

Chad, those girls

don't belong to anyone.

Look, there are

some bad dudes who are gonna kill you.

Kill both of us,

if you don't give them their money!

We're talking about

a couple of whores.

They're worth more, man.

Hey.

- I found the house.

- Where?

Just a regular neighborhood.

All right, let's go.

You think they're already

out for the night?

I don't know.

I guess we're gonna

have to go in and find out.

Are you serious?

Do you have a better idea?

No.

You ever shoot a gun before?

It's been a while, but...

It's kind of like

riding a bike, right?

No.

It's like shooting a gun.

I can't believe

we missed them by hours.

My guess is they're headed

to a new city.

Maybe even out of state.

So they're gone?

I'm sorry.

She wouldn't come with me.

I tried.

But she wouldn't come.

James, come here!

Let's get out of here.

I want to show you something.

I come up here

to get some clarity.

Remind me of

the beauty of it all.

That cross.

I call it a God Shot.

Never heard of that.

It's when it feels

like everything is over.

When the last bit

of hope and light

starts slipping away

faster than you can chase it.

Then, boom!

Something appears.

Gives you strength to carry on.

A God Shot.

Or it's just a necklace.

Nope.

It's that little voice

that you've been hearing made physical.

I don't know what to do.

You know what to do.

It's too late.

It's never too late.

We were put here to

learn on this journey.

The pages of our story

are still being written.

But here's the good news.

We're not the author.

He has bigger plans.

You sound like Antonia.

With everything that

she's been through,

do you think she still believes?

I know she does.

That's faith.

Hey, can you pull over?

Sure.

What's up?

I need to get some air.

I'll meet you back at the house.

It's a long walk.

Yeah.

I could use it.

All right,

I gotta swing by the hotel.

I'll see you at the house later.

I see you dressed in white

Every wrong made right

I see a rose in bloom

At the sight of you

You're irreplaceable

Unmistakable, incomparable

It's all-in

It's beautiful

I see it all in you

Sisters, we can start again

Give honor till the end

Love, we can start again

Oh, brothers

We can start again

Give honor till the end

Yes, we can start again

We can start again

We can start again

At the end of your message,

- press one.

Dale, hey, call me.

I think I found something.

Hello. Massage?

Is she here?

Is she available?

You want her?

One hour?

Where is she?

She very expensive.

- You must pay first.

- What room?

Antonia!

You tell what kind

of massage, and...

Antonia!

- James!

- You cannot go back there!

You don't go!

You cause trouble!

- Antonia!

- James!

Oh! No!

Stop that guy!

Keep going.

- Are you okay?

- I don't feel good.

All right. Come on.

We have to go back for Maria.

I won't stop till

we get her back.

You are bleeding, James.

It's fine.

But you are still handsome.

Do you know

you are very handsome?

I'll remind you

that you said that later.

She, uh, had a little bit

too much to drink.

Dale?

Where's Dale?

You have my girl.

She's not your girl.

Amigo, I do not agree with you.

Irregardless,

I have the old man.

And I have her sister.

Now I won't hurt

the sister, not yet.

And the old man, I really haven't decided

yet, but that's up to you.

You follow directions

and maybe everyone walks home.

What do you want?

Ay, man.

Look, you're not good

at this, so let me make this easy for you.

You give me the girl,

I give you the old man.

The sister stays with me,

but she remains untouched

as long as Antonia is returned to me.

Because they're a pair.

You see this?

They're a family.

You can't separate family.

Where do you want to meet?

But don't try to be a hero,

or I kill them both

and I make you watch, okay?

Where?

There's a little park

on Central and Main.

8:
30. Be there.

It's the charade,

this thing that you two are doing.

You know this?

You are a murderer.

I've not murdered anybody yet.

There is no difference

between a murderer

and a person that steals

a girl's innocence

and kills her soul.

Wow, man.

I never thought of that before.

It's very deep.

Does this help you?

You go through all this?

All of this for some girl

you don't even know?

No.

It's for my daughter.

I don't know what

you're talking about, man.

What do you mean by this?

Ten years ago.

You took my daughter.

My friend,

I hate to disappoint you,

but 10 years ago,

I was still in high school.

You're all the same man.

Different names,

different faces,

but you're all the same.

My daughter

ran away

for a man like you.

She swallowed your drugs.

She believed your lies.

And you turned her

into property.

Where is your little girl now?

She never made

her 18th birthday.

Man, this thing is old.

It's very old, old...

Old Testament old.

I'm sure it was, uh,

nothing personal.

Just his business.

Do you know what you are?

Hmm?

You are

the hollowed-out shell

that's left after

a snake sheds its skin.

Garo.

You know there's hope?

That's New Testament.

Hmm.

Maybe for some people, man.

This is yours.

You are a changed man, James.

Thank you for trying to help us.

Okay, I don't know

how this is gonna turn out.

But you have to know that I...

This is how it must be.

Hmm?

There won't be

another chance for me to say this...

James,

I know.

911 emergency.

Hello.

Can you tell me your location?

Hello?

Whatever happens, trust me.

I do.

Stay close.

- A playground? Really?

- S.

It's a beautiful day

for this one, no?

Ah. I'm embarrassed

for us, Garo.

I mean, look at us.

- Look at us!

- Yeah.

Look at us!

Hey! Amigo, amigo, amigo!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Nada!

Carrying guns.

Holding hostages.

Maybe, you know,

maybe we go crazy.

Maybe we shoot

everybody. Eh?

- It's this you want, huh?

- No, no, no. Here we go.

- Here we go.

- Yeah, here we go, man.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

You're replaceable.

I'm replaceable.

Girls?

They're replaceable.

- S. Okay.
