Revolver Page #6

Synopsis: After seven years in solitary, Jake Green is released from prison. In the next two years, he amasses a lot of money by gambling. He's ready to seek his revenge on Dorothy (Mr. D) Macha, a violence-prone casino owner who sent Jake to prison. He humiliates Macha in front of Macha's lieutenants, leaves, and keels over. Doctors tell him he has a rare disease and will die in three days; Macha also puts a hit out on him. Loan sharks, Zack and Avi, demand Jake's cash and complete fealty in return for protection. Jake complies, and through narration and flashbacks, we watch him through at least three days of schemes, danger, and redemption. Who is his greatest enemy?

he's telling you that he doesn't even exist.

No-one lives and displeases Gold.

No-one but your two friends.

We just put you to war

with the only enemy that ever existed,

and you, you think he's your best friend.

And they will protect their best friend

with everything they've got.

You're protecting him, Mr. Green,

but with what?

Where's the best place

an opponent should hide?

In the very last place you'd ever look.

He's hiding behind your pain, Jake.

You're protecting him with your pain.

Embrace the pain and you will win this game.

And I know nothing hurts more

than humiliation and a little money loss.

If you change the rules on what controls you...

...you will change the rules

on what you can control.

How radical are you prepared to be, Mr. Green?

The more power

you think you have in Gold's world,

the less power you have in the real world.

You are still in prison, Jake.

In fact, you never left.

Remember who they are, Jake.

Head tricksters, word slicksters.

You wanted answers and they gave you riddles.

You know the rules,

the longer you listened, the sweeter the pitch.

He's got all the tricks and all the right answers.

Don't let them do this to you, Jake.

Don't let them turn you against you.

You don't give because it's good.

You give because it hurts him.

What are we doing here?

He's the enemy, Jake, not me.

Use your perceived enemy

to destroy your real enemy.

Do not listen, Jake.

You've got a gun. Use it.

Don't wake him up. Suffocate him.

Put the pillow over his head and suffocate him.

He'd do it to you, Jake.

If you can't do it, then you're not a free man.

You are controlled.

"Controlled? Free man?"

Jake, wake up.

Look, Mr. Macha, I'm very sorry

to have woken you. Please listen to me.

Who's that? Mr. Green?

Mr. Macha, please, I'm sorry to have woken you.

Listen to me.

"Sorry." Listen at how you sound.

I came to apologize.

Forgive me for the things I've said

and for cheating you out of your money.

I couldn't think clearly.

- Shut up.

- No, no, that's too much.

Shoot the f***er. Shoot him.

He's been trying to kill you.

He killed your friend, shot like a f***ing dog.

That's better, Jake, in control again.

Do the right thing.

Take care of your enemy, take care of business.

Use any means possible

to induce head pain, and engage the enemy.

Shut up.

Wake up, Jake.

What are you f***ing doing?

Leave it.

You're groveling.

I now realize you're a man

to be feared and respected.

I now realize you're a man

to be feared and respected.

Stop groveling.

Where's your pride?

Where's your pride?

I made a big mistake, Mr. Macha.

Shut up.

I underestimated your power and your intellect.

I've made a donation in your name

as a peace offering,

as a token of my apology.

I want you to...

Shut up.

I want you to forgive my stupidity.

Wherever you don't want to go

is where you will find him.

What is it that you are afraid of, Mr. Green?

Why are you doing this to yourself, Jake?

It's too tight, Jake.

We've got to get out.

You're going to die in a tiny space, Jake.

Have to get out.

We're stuck, stuck.

The walls are moving in.

It's tight. I'm scared.

We've got to get out. I can hear you.

I can hear you.

What?

I can hear you.

I'm onto you.

Who takes care of the good times?

- We're a team.

- We're best pals, Jake.

- You want to get rid of me?

- Do you know life without me?

- No. Because it doesn't...

...exist.

- Do they talk about me, Jake?

- No.

Because I don't exist.

- Tell all your friends about me then, Jake?

- I protect you and I control you.

I say do, you obey.

- If I say you're scared...

...you're scared.

You've been listening to the other side,

haven't you, Jake?

- Listening to people who want to hurt you.

- New people. New.

Not old friends like me.

People you shouldn't trust. Not me. I've been

your friend forever, since the beginning.

Get rid of them, Jake, forever.

They're the enemy, not me.

They're new, I'm old. I stay, they go.

I say you do.

You do.

You're weak without me, weak.

It's us against them, Jake.

It's us against them.

I'm coming to get you.

You want to get rid of me?

You want to make an enemy out of me?

You want to get rid of me, do you?

Do you?

You want to get rid of me, me, me, me?

Still here, Jake?

How long have I looked after you?

You can't win this one without me.

You know why?

I am you.

You ain't me.

The greatest con that he ever pulled,

was making you believe that he is you.

You ain't me.

- I am you.

- You're not me.

Come on.

Your best f***ing friend.

I am you.

You don't control me.

I control you.

You come to my house with a loaded gun.

You speak to me like I'm a f***ing idiot.

What's your game?

What's your game?

Speak to me.

Speak to me.

Or I'll kill you like the f***ing dog that you are.

Fear me.

Fear me.

We have already killed Lord John

and two of your colleagues.

If you value your life

more than a few bags of white powder,

you will tell me...

where it is hidden.

Is everything all right, Mr. D?

It will be when you take care

of my security, Paul.

What are you holding the papers for?

Because you're on the cover of half of them.

If you don't mind me asking,

what has come over you, Mr. D?

They think you did it.

Oh, my god.

Take the credit, they'll never know.

This feels good.

This feels quite good.

I'm going to take the credit.

It might come as a surprise to you, Paul,

but I do have a heart.

I have some news about Green.

I'll give you news about Green.

He now knows who's boss.

He was sniveling like a baby

begging for forgiveness.

It was embarrassing. We're not going to

be hearing from Mr. Green for a while.

I'm not sure if that's the case, Mr. D.

Whilst you've been sleeping, we've been busy.

If Lord John's boys know where the powder is,

they took it to the grave.

We know Green's behind everything.

He took your powder, not Lord John.

He's been playing games with us,

and he's been playing games with you.

Fear me. Fear me.

- Shut up.

- Fear me.

- Shut up.

- Fear me.

- It doesn't look good.

- Shut up.

It doesn't look good.

The drums have been talking.

And what have the drums been saying?

They've been saying

what Sam Gold's been hearing.

Fear me.

Hearing about the little problems Mr. Green

has been giving us, that's embarrassing.

We have an address for his brother.

We can take care of it.

Get him to talk, do whatever it takes.

Take Sorter and an army.

If they give any trouble, hurt 'em.

Let me read about that in the paper.

Get a hold of Green and get my powder.

Go.

Are we expecting anyone?

I'll get it.

I said, are we expecting anyone?

Shouldn't you check first?

If you love your daddy,

be a good girl, hide in that cupboard.

Now.

Check the house.

You know why we're here?

Serpent.

I said, do you know why we're here?

I've some kind of an idea, yes.

Are you going to tell me?

Paul, I swear to you,

I haven't got a f***ing clue where he is.

He's been moving about.
