We borrow it for a bit.

Right, and I guess your friends

just misplaced the key.

Something like that.

You're coming?

You know, this is gonna cost you extra?

- Yeah, already has.

So, what exactly do you do?

I deliver things.

What's in it?

- Jesus, you always ask so many questions?

Questions come with the pilot.

Silence costs triple.

I never ask what's in it.

- Why not?

Because that's why people hire me.

I don't get involved, I don't ask questions, I simply deliver.

Well, it sounds to me like you're involved.

You might think you're not, but ...

Maybe you oughta concentrate

on your driving a little bit.

If I can fly and talk

I can drive and talk.

Alright, wait a second.

We gonna take a right up here.

Alright, see that black car?

Stay two car lengths behind it.

You watch his blinkers,

you don't use yours.

If he turns, you wait five seconds,

you turn, you mirror everything he does.

Is that your delivery procedure?

- Procedures evolve.

Nice and easy.

Turn the car off.

Stay here.

Hold on. Calm down.

Just wanna ask you a couple of questions.

It is not safe here.

- What is not safe?

He's back.

He will take vengeance on us all.

Let me go, please.

- Where Evil Sivle?

No one finds Evil Sivle.

He finds you.

And if he does, it'll be the last thing

you'll ever seen.

Why is he back? Why is he back?

Retribution. Evil's taking back

what was taken from him.

Why am I doing this?

What?

- Sem Frantanna is dead

The old record has been destroyed.

Steele is dead too.

What happened?

- We're not sure.

It's your job to be sure.

- Yes, Sir.

I'm taking back what's mine in three days.

I can't handle any nonsense. - Yes, Sir.

Finish the other job and find the case now!

- Yes, Sir.

Stanton, come in here!

Sit down, son!

I got you somethin'. - Ah.

My birthday isn't for another two days.

- I couldn't wait.

Here, let me.

Sit down.

Beverages are right there.

Have ever think, maybe it's time to find

a new line of work?

That didn't hurt.

Keep pressure on it, ok.

I can't quite place your accent?

Where are you from?

A little bit of everywhere, I guess.

- Has 'everywhere' have a name?

I was born in China.

But after that, just everywhere.

Why did you come back?

Cause life

has a nasty sense of humor.

What?

You perfume.

- It's "Lilies of the Valley".

Touch is no good?

No, I do...

It's just ...

What?

Thank you.

Earlier, warning me.

How's she doin'?

- She talks too much.

Whatever.

Thank you.

You want coffee?

- I gotta go. Walk with me.

How's Deidre?

- What do you think?

I moved her and Lucy to the safe house

but I didn't say why.

And it's harder, if doesn't know why.

But what are you gonna do.

You did the right thing.

You wanna talk about what you not tellin' me?

You know about this guy?

- That's Jack Straw, it's a small time hustler...

you can find him around

St. Ann and Dauphine.

Thanks.

Keep an eye on her, ok.

Rough day yesterday.

Oh! Oh! - I swear, I didn't see anything,

I didn't do anything.

Don't do this, man.

Get in the car.

You get out of the car, now.

Are you gonna kill me?

My God, are you gonna kill me?

Have you ever thought, then

I would have done it already.

Shut up. I'm looking for Evil Sivle, and I know goddamn

that he's looking for you. Where is he?

I don't know, I swear to God, man.

I don't know anything about him, I don't even know who he is.

And why you're the person alive

on that hitlist?

F***!

- It's starting to come back to you now?

Right, here's how this is gonna work: You lie to me,

you bullshit me, you keep anything from me ...

I would put a bullet through your leg

and throw you out of this car ...

and leave you where you fall,

you understand me?

But, what do you wanna know, man?

- The accountant mentioned retribution.

What did he mean?

- I don't know.

What did he mean?

No, no, no, man, look.

All I know that ...

that anyone who had a connection

with him ten years ago...

has a dust-to-dust reunion, if you know what I mean?

- What happened ten years ago?

Who are you?

The person who keeps you alive.

So answer the question.

Ten years ago

hell brought to New Orleans.

And Evil Sivle did the match.

Evil Sivle was walking death, know what I mean?

Even God himself shook when he hears that name.

- What about Maxwell, did he shake?

Is that why Evil disappeared?

- No, Maxwell loved him like a son.

I don't know, why he killed his wife and kid.

Chopped the body parts up and mailed them to him.

But nobody knows what happened after that.

Some say Evil killed Maxwell ...

Some say Maxwell killed Evil,

Some say they all died that day.

If all died, then why are you

on top of that f***ing headlist?

'Cause I had too many f***ing questions.

Mayor Shirer's Office

Can you explain to me,

why these people are dead?

And I found this in the car

you chapped.

Or how about... why every place you leave,

there's a body behind you?

I don't have anything to say, detective.

There's a call for you.

Just sit tight!

How the f*** did you get out?

- Just really had to use the restroom.

We have friends everywhere, don't you?

You're free to go.

I got a phone from the sergeant,

who got a call from the lieutenant ...

who got a call from the mayor,

who got a call from some friend of yours.

Who is this friend of mine?

Good day, gentlemen.

Got a package for you.

- You gotta be kidding me?

Well that, no.

Who is the sender?

- I don't know.

Just got a call to drop it off.

They told me what you look like.

Stitch, where are you?

Call me right away!

Hello?

Hello?

- How you doing, Eddie?

Who is this?

- How is your family?

Your granddaughter is growing up so fast.

- Do I know you?

Why does the friend of yours show interest in Evil Sivle

Listen to me, I don't know who you are

and I don't know what you want.

And I don't know anything about what's going down, ok.

- Hello?

Welcome home.

You set me up.

You pay me with money

logged in evidence in the NOPD?

Get me out of jail,

with a murder charge.

You bug my apartment.

You didn't think I would find you?

And that I'd figure out, you were a fed?

Why are you talking about murder charge?

You broke the rules and brought

my goddaughter into this.

You go to hell.

It wasn't me, that got you out.

Think, man!

Even if I legally could pull that off...

would cost me weeks of paperwork.

And favors I don't have.

And this here... is two generations higher

than anything we got a budget for.

Evil Sivle is dead.

Really? Why would we got a briefcase

of a Russian courier ...

with three days to deliver it to him?

And why do bodies keep piling up,

with his name on them?

Four years I've been looking for Evil Sivle.

And then one day you've gotten closer to him,

that I've ever have.

But now we have him.

Because we have something he wants.

And what's that?

You.

I deliver packages.

I don't chase ghosts.

It looks to me, that ghost is now chasing you.

He wants you on the street for a reason
