Wishmaster 4: The Prophecy Fulfilled (2002) Movie Script
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Come on in.
- Thanks.
Listen...
Thanks for coming over
on such short notice.
It will only take
a moment, I promise.
Have a seat.
Make yourself comfortable.
You want something to drink?
juice, mineral water?
- Water would be great.
- Water it is.
I'm starting to think this case
is never going to get settled.
Sam is so frustrated.
You'd think a company this size
Would admit their fault
and do the honorable thing.
Well, honor's for battlefields.
Well, if this isn't turning into one
I don't know what is.
Ta-da!
- What's this?
- It's a gift.
For your patience and faith.
Steven, I know how hard you're working,
you don't need to--
I found it on one of my all night
web surfing jags.
It's nothing.
I know how much you like
that sort of thing.
It's very thoughtful.
Thank you.
Wow, I'm sorry.
If bad timing were fatal
I'd be road-kill.
- It's okay.
- No, it's not okay.
I should be more sensitive
to your situation.
It's not your fault.
It's not like I haven't
thought about it.
- Really?
- Yeah.
You've been really sweet
through this whole thing,
Above and beyond the call of duty.
That's me, nice guy Steven.
The kind of lawyer you want to
introduce to your homely friend.
- That's not what I meant.
- I know what you meant.
Look, Sam's accident
was a horrible thing.
And the complications surrounding
your case are a nightmare.
I wouldn't wish this
on my worst enemy.
I've known Sam for a long time.
But I see the way
he treats you now.
You've said it yourself.
You and Sam are at a crossroads.
All I want is a chance
To position myself as an option.
I gotta get back to the store.
Yeah.
It's broken.
Oh no.
Wow, did that come out of the box?
- What's the matter?
- I don't want it.
No problem.
um...
Tell you what,
I'll get this appraised.
We can keep it here until
I find out what it's worth.
That will be great.
I'd appreciate it.
You're not leaving, are you?
Yeah, I have to go.
Hey, Lisa...
Is everything okay between us?
Yeah, it's fine. Really.
Okay.
- 'bye.
- I got it.
'bye.
Good one, Steve.
Real smooth.
Sam, I'm home.
- Are you hungry?
- Nope.
You have to have
something for dinner.
I did.
I thought that was breakfast.
Very good.
So, you and Verdel figure out
how to make me a rich man yet?
Not yet.
He does have a plan, doesn't he?
I mean, that's why
you were over there today.
He's working hard on our case
without any compensation.
oh, I'm sure he's
getting compensated.
What do you mean by that?
He's a lawyer, isn't he?
Are you implying that
I slept with him?
Is that what this is about?
Sex?
It's always about sex.
Sex is not that important.
Sam!
It is to me!
And it was to you before--
Our relationship has always
been based on love and trust.
Love and trust are only words
if you can't back them up.
How can you love me
when I can't love you?
I don't care about--
If you want to be alone
you can always go upstairs.
God damn it.
- Not quite.
- What the hell?
That's closer.
Who are you?
How did you get in here?
I'm here to offer you a deal.
Is that right?
A deal?
Who sent you?
Hollister?
Is this some sort of a scare tactic
to get me into a settlement?
If I wanted to scare you,
you would be scared.
Are you?
You tell Hollister I don't care
how powerful he thinks he is,
We're not going to back down.
I suggest you climb back out
the window before I call the cops.
- You wish me to leave?
- No. No.
Not until you meet our city's finest.
I can grant you
anything you desire.
Anything you can imagine.
That sounds to me
like an offer to settle.
It is.
Your soul for a wish.
I wish you would stop
talking in riddles
And tell me exactly
what it is you want.
As you wish.
I want three wishes from the waker.
To free my race
from their eternal bondage.
And now that I've granted your wish,
I will take my soul.
Your identity
will offer me easy
access to the waker.
Nice.
Hello, Lisa.
I was hoping we could spend
a little time together.
Sam.
So much for the trip
down memory lane.
Good morning, Sam.
It's a little early
to be chasing ambulances.
The early bird gets the worm, Sam.
This morning we're going
for the whole garden.
Am I interrupting something here?
Not at all.
Can I get you some coffee?
No. I would like to take
you both out to breakfast
To discuss my new strategy
for your case.
- A new strategy? - Something Lisa
said yesterday inspired me.
Yeah, Lisa's full of inspiration.
You should see her in the morning.
I have interrupted, I'm sorry.
we can go over this another time.
Don't be ridiculous, Verdel.
Get what you came for.
You two don't need me.
just tell me where to sign.
At least I can still do that.
Well...
As your attorney,
I would advise you to pass
On the scintillating
breakfast invitation,
And take this to a more
neutral territory,
My office?
Yeah.
Give me a couple minutes.
Take your time.
I wish you'd join us, Sam.
That's not much of a wish.
I suppose it's not.
I'm certain you could
do better, right?
Not me.
I'm all wished out.
Come on, Sam.
You must have one wish
left inside you somewhere.
I used my last one
right before the doorbell rang.
Really?
How did it turn out?
I think we both know the answer
to that, don't we?
Ready.
Are you sure you won't
come with us, Sam?
Fine.
I'm not kidding.
It's the truth.
Caligula was the most
misunderstood man in rome.
Caligula was a monster.
Don't believe everything you read.
He was a passionate man with a
taste for beauty and extravagance.
- You sound like you knew him.
- Maybe I did-- In another life.
What? What is it?
- What's different about you?
- I told you.
I was inspired last night to become
the man you see before you.
You told me you were
inspired into a new strategy.
Which, by the way,
we have yet to talk about.
Ah yes,
The strategy.
- So?
- I'm waiting for you.
Waiting for me to what?
Tell me what you wish for
and the strategy begins.
Steven, don't tell me
this was just a game
To get me alone with you.
Play the game, Lisa,
then judge me.
Come on, make a wish.
All right.
I wish you could make them
settle this case.
That wasn't so hard, was it?
Will you tell me your plan?
Shh, listen.
- Yeah.
- Doug Hollister, Steven Verdel.
How did you get this number?
Did you have a chance
to go over our new proposal?
What kind of game
are you playing, Verdel?
You're about to find out, Doug.
Do those numbers fall in place for you?
Are you out of your fucking mind?
$10 million?
What are you, the hero
of some John Grisham novel?
Who the hell do you think
you're dealing with?
You call this number again
and you'll be writing briefs
for what's left of your pitiful,
insignificant career!
Don't hang up, Doug.
I'm certain we can
settle this right now.
What the hell is going on?
I suggest you hold your tongue
until we're finished.
Thank you, Doug,
that's very kind of you.
We both know you can
cut off your nose to spite
your face,
But that's not going to change the
testimony of my star witness.
I think you know-- The designer
of the braking system
That failed on my client's bike.
The one that's cashing the
payoff checks to keep him quiet.
Mr. Hollister?
You get the point, Doug, huh?
Graft just doesn't inspire the same
loyalty these days, does it, Doug?
I'll tell you what,
sign the agreement,
fax it over to my office and
we'll end this painful exchange?
I know that you're racked
with pain over this,
but I'm not the one holding
a gun to your head, am I?
You know me, Doug,
I love a good story.
Shoot.
Okay... yeah.
It's been fun, Doug.
All right.
You see?
He was dying to get it done.
Am I supposed to believe someone
was actually on the other end?
Have a look.
I love my job.
- I can't believe it.
- Oh, believe it.
I've also decided
not to take a fee.
Steven?
It is not about money
for me, Lisa.
- I can't let you do that.
- It's done.
Go home and share
the good news with Sam.
Enjoy it.
What happened to you last night?
You might say I was reborn.
Thank you.
- Sam!
- Yeah?
You are not going to believe this!
He did it!
Steven did it!
Sounds like breakfast went well.
$10 million!
They settled
And faxed the agreement
right to his office.
Sam, can you believe this?
Great. Now we can start arguing
about how to split it.
He not taking anything.
he's not taking a fee.
I was talking about us.
- This is good news.
- It is.
It's your last hurdle
on your path to freedom.
I understand why
you're so excited.
You think I've stayed to get
a piece of this settlement?
It's the best reason
I can come up with.
Why are you doing this, Sam?
Why are you doing this to me?
Hello.
It's for you.
Hello.
Have you two booked your trip
around the world yet?
Not yet.
I was hoping I could take you both
to dinner tonight to celebrate.
I don't think so, Steven.
Come on. This case has been hard
on everyone.
Let me share your good fortune
for one night.
I don't think Sam's up to it.
Put him on then.
That's the least he can do
for $10 million.
- What time?
- 8:00, the palace.
Okay.
A few loose ends to tie up?
He wants to take us
to dinner to celebrate.
I assume you don't want to go.
I wouldn't want to be a third wheel.
Or a fourth, fifth,
six and seventh for that matter.
Enjoy your dinner.
Thank you.
Wow! You look fantastic.
- Thank you.
- Please.
Where's Sam?
He didn't feel up to coming.
I took the liberty
of ordering wine.
I hope you don't mind.
So, a toast--
To your new life.
To your amazing work
and incredible generosity.
You keep that up and you'll
have me drunk in no time.
So, what's with Sam?
why wasn't he up to it?
Was he disappointed
with the settlement?
No, it's not about the money.
There's enough to pay the
medical bills and his therapy,
with a fortune left over.
He just...
He pushes me away
every chance he gets.
It's like I'm a part of his injury.
He doesn't know how to communicate--
Is there something else I can do?
You're not a psychiatrist too,
are you?
I can be anything
you want me to be.
The spoken word is a powerful thing.
Don't be afraid to tell me
what's on your mind.
I just wish Sam could walk again.
Yeah.
I understand.
Here we go.
That looks terrific.
Thank you.
Well, dig in.
Can I take these for you?
Yeah, please.
I wish someone would
kiss me like that.
- They will.
- I won't hold my breath.
Lisa, you forgot your dessert.
Sam...
- How was dinner?
- It was great.
Normally I'd say
I wish you were there, but,
that would be a lie.
Obviously you've been busy here
with something more important.
If you need anything...
Call me.
We need to get you to a doctor.
It's not your problem anymore.
If not mine, then whose?
I've been here through it all.
and like it or not,
Whatever this miracle is,
I'm a part of it.
just because I was
out for dinner with Steven--
This is about my legs,
nothing else.
That's why you need
to see a doctor.
Let me rephrase this for you.
All I feel is pain.
And the only place
I have feeling is in my legs.
It means he's walking.
None of the doctors can explain it.
The x-rays still show
the damage, he's in pain,
But he's walking.
I've got to do his chart.
I'll bet anything
mercury went retrograde
And passed through
his fourth house.
What?
I'll explain it later.
What about his mojo?
is that rising?
- What are you talking about?
- Sex.
Have you guys done it yet?
It'll come.
I'll work up his chart
And give you an e.t.e.--
Estimated time of erection."
I don't know.
Do you think this
makes me look too fat?
Only in the right places, right?
- Yeah.
- Really?
Can I help you with something?
Yes, I believe you can.
Steven, what are you doing here?
This is nice, Lisa.
with your new windfall,
You guys could expand
and franchise.
Yeah, we like the intimacy.
It makes it a lot easier
for women to shop.
Especially for underwear.
I don't remember underwear
looking like this.
Great choice, wrong size.
I'd say you're more of a 16.
Course, I couldn't be sure
until I saw it on you.
Would you like a dressing room?
Only if you have the shoes to match.
This is my partner Tracy.
Tracy this is Steven Verdel
our lawyer.
And friend.
Nice to meet you, Tracy.
So you're the man responsible
for the resurrection?
No, he's the man responsible
for the settlement.
Whatever. Destiny has a way of
tying things together.
I couldn't agree more.
In fact, that's why I'm here.
I was hoping when you
got off work
You'd come by my place,
we could talk about it?
Our destiny?
I think the last 24 hours
have been rather miraculous,
Wouldn't you say?
And I was thinking that--
well...
I was hoping that it had
something to do with you and me.
Come on, it will be just talking.
I'll make you a real mean
cup of coffee.
Okay, but I have to check
on Sam first.
Okay then.
Tonight?
- Yeah.
- Great.
- It was nice meeting you.
- You, too.
You'd better be careful, Lisa.
An aura that strong
is capable of anything.
You going somewhere?
Get a beer.
You don't want one, do you?
Since when do you need
a haircut to get a beer?
since I started walking.
Sam, we need to talk about us.
Are you sure you don't
want Verdel here?
He's a good lawyer, isn't he?
I understood your anger before.
I mean, look at you,
you can walk.
I don't understand why
we can't be--
What?
Pretend like it never happened?
pretend like I didn't see
the way you looked at me
When you bathed me, dressed me
and wheeled me down the street?
That is not true.
I always loved you.
You pitied me.
No, you pitied you.
I didn't fall in love
with your legs, Sam.
All I ever wanted was for us
to love each other
Like we did before.
It's not like it was before.
I know. And you remind me
every chance you get.
Look, we're not married.
The settlement's half yours.
why don't we get it over with
And let me pretend to enjoy
whatever time I have left?
What are you talking about?
Sex, Lisa.
I'm talking about sex.
How's it been for you lately?
'cause for me it's been--
Where are you going?
The only place where I won't
be looked at like a patient.
And it only costs me
a dollar a dance.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Do you believe that prayers
can be answered?
Well, I don't know about that,
But I do believe that we can
make our wishes reality.
What's the difference between
a wish and a prayer?
A prayer is an exercise in faith,
But a wish is
a confirmation of desire.
When you desire something
strong enough,
You manifest it as tangible.
All right--
You wished for this lawsuit
to be settled, and it was.
You wished for Sam to walk again,
And he did.
Had you wished for the past,
Sam might not be
where he is tonight.
But you didn't.
I think that the future
holds your destiny--
Not the past.
What do you wish for?
To be the kind of man
you want me to be.
I think the wine went
straight to my head.
I'm going to get some water.
No, no, no.
Stay.
Let me get it.
I wish I could just love you
for who you really are.
Another wish.
What?
What's the matter, Steven?
I want you to leave.
Please.
Okay.
Steve, are you all right?
I'm sorry.
I'm just not feeling very well.
It's okay.
I understand.
Why do you delay?
Fulfill the prophecy.
Grant the third wish.
The third wish has been made.
You must grant it
And free your brothers.
Tell me how I shall grant
the third wish,
That she love me
for who I truly am?
Human love is a weakness.
Take her.
Human love must be given freely,
or it isn't love.
It's a trap,
A wish only she can grant.
Be warned,
the hunter has been awakened.
Fulfill the prophecy
before he stops her.
If he kills the waker--
I shall slay the hunter
with his own sword.
No one shall harm the waker.
Go away!
- Hello, Tracy.
- Hi.
I'm sorry to bother you.
I was hoping we could
talk about Lisa.
Don't tell me she stood you up?
No. No.
In fact,
we had a rather nice evening.
I've never had to deal
with these feelings before.
And...
I'm sorry, I shouldn't
bother you with this.
It's okay.
It's what I do.
Come on.
I'm not certain
what I have to offer
Would be appealing
to a woman like Lisa.
You can offer love, can't you?
I love what I do.
Unfortunately, what I do doesn't
Allow me much time for love.
Spoken like a true heartbreaker.
I don't want to break
her heart-- I want to win it.
I was hoping you could give me
some insight on how to do that.
I'm loaded with insight.
Shoot.
Suppose I had some dark secret
I didn't want Lisa to know
But I needed to tell her,
you know?
Do you think she could
still love me?
Depends on the secret.
- You're not married, are you?
- No, I'm not married.
How dark can it be?
I guess it depends on who you ask.
The key to sharing dark secrets
is all in the timing.
You have to pick your moments.
I'd start with wine and roses.
And then?
Do I have to spell
it out for you?
It's obvious to me where you
want this relationship to go.
Remember, we're dealing
with a woman
Who hasn't made love
in three years.
Three years?
It seems like an eternity
since I've romanced a woman.
It's not as complicated
as people make it out to be.
It's all about her.
All you need to do
Is fulfill her every
wish and desire,
And then any revelations
Will seem all the easier
to take.
If you were Lisa,
what would you wish for?
After what she's been through?
If I was Lisa,
I'd wish for some killer sex.
Killer sex?
Killer sex, Steve.
Pushing it past your comfort zone.
That sounds like you're
talking about pain.
Whatever--
pleasure, pain.
It all goes through the Same
nerve center anyway, right?
Seems like you know
what you're talking about.
Not with the men
I've been dating.
I wish I was having
some killer sex.
Granted.
Careful what you wish for, my dear.
Let go!
Let me go!
It's just you.
Is that disappointment or fear?
No. I was having a nightmare.
We were making love
and the weirdest thing happened.
Yeah, I've had that
nightmare a lot lately.
The past.
No, I didn't mean it that way.
Hello?
Is there any way I can bring Tracy up
on murder charges? 'cause she's killing me.
What's going on?
I've been calling her for over
an hour. She won't answer.
Inventory's not finished and
the order has to be in by noon.
I'll be in as soon as I can, okay?
How you doing, pal?
What can I get you?
Your best brandy.
Is that choice, or what?
What do you suppose would make
a woman like that fall in love?
A fat wallet.
- And a fatter dick.
- Money and sex?
That's what makes the world
go round, my friend.
I mean, look at her.
What else would
a piece like that need?
A B.A. in marketing?
She's got her pick
of every guy in this place.
And she knows it.
Then why doesn't she just choose?
She does...
every night.
Relax, it's early.
You wanna be a player,
just step up to the table.
- Do you find her desirable?
- Desirable?
I'd sell my soul just to be
a pimple on her ass.
Really?
Enjoy the view...
brother.
Nick?
Nick?
I don't know how you put up with her.
Believe me, it's mutual.
Did you bring the inventory sheets?
Oh, no.
What I'd tell you?
Good morning.
My name's Jennifer.
And who's the lucky girl
we're shopping for today?
Or boy.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Where do you think you're going?
Don't make me use this
on such a pretty face.
Get the hell out of here
before I call the cops.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Where is the waker?
Excuse me?
She's awakened the djinn.
She's made the third wish
that will bring upon armageddon.
oh, I see.
Let's see if I can...
Get someone over here
to help find that... waker.
Yes, you may.
There's a tall, attractive man,
robbing my store at this very moment.
Shit.
Looking for clients?
You might say that.
Why did you want
to meet here, Verdel?
Is this where you brought
Lisa for dinner?
I don't think she would appreciate
the amenities this establishment
has to offer.
What do you think of her, Sammy?
'cause she's the fantasy
of every man in this club.
And you can have her
if you want her.
What are you talking about?
Granting you a wish.
How many nights did you sit
in your wheelchair
And wish you could take
a woman like her home?
Would you like
to have sex again, Sam?
The kind of sex you remember?
The kind of sex
you can only dream about?
Because I can make
that happen for you.
Wish for her and she's yours.
Anyway... anywhere.
You can get her for me?
If that's what you wish.
Then I don't want her.
'cause anything you touch,
I want no part of.
Does that include Lisa?
That's right.
I touched her, too.
I got to tell you,
I like the way she feels.
You probably
don't remember that,
do you, Sam?
shall I remind you?
I don't think Lisa would mind.
I got a little secret
for you--
It takes more than two good legs
to satisfy a woman like Lisa.
Don't you want to hit me, Sam?
Yeah, I think you do.
I'll bet you wish you could kick
the shit out of me right here.
Come on, say it.
on my terms, Verdel.
Not yours.
That is a good way to lose
your hand, my friend.
Come on, you know the rules.
Maybe it's time to change them.
Change them? Did you hear this guy?
Pretty funny.
Why don't you find a seat
and enjoy the show?
And the next drink's on me.
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
It seems to me this drink's on you.
I've been waiting a long time
for one of you big spenders to
come in and step over that line.
Let's see what you got, tough guy.
Is that what you wish me to do?
Is that what I wish you to do?
What are you, some kind of fag?
is that it?
Want me to smack you around
so you can get off?
I want to give you what you want.
Get the fuck out of here.
Is that your wish?
Is that your wish,
you sick fuck?
I'm just here to serve you.
fuck off!
You know what I'd wish?
I'd wish you'd put up
a better fight.
Granted.
What the fuck?
Let's see what you got,
tough guy.
That is a good way to lose
your hand, my friend.
This is a better way.
Now, is it mondays and wednesdays,
or tuesdays and thursdays?
Satisfied, I hope.
Why do you continue to delay?
Grant the third wish!
I am your only hope for freedom.
Soon the man the waker loves
will be removed
And she will be free
To love me as she wished.
We sense your growing
enchantment with the waker.
Be warned-- this will be
the downfall of us all.
Silence!
Are you crazy?
I could have killed you!
You are the waker of the Djinn!
You must be killed before
the third wish is granted!
Run away, Lisa!
go now!
Just keep running.
don't turn around!
3000 years between breaths,
my friend.
How does it feel?
It's a pity your life
is merely a charade.
A titan of such nobility,
Bound until the waker
makes her third wish to me.
A third wish not yet granted.
- What stops you?
- You, my friend.
Destroying you after so many battles
Will make the birth of my race
that much sweeter.
Your human form has made you weak.
I sense conflict...
emotion.
The prophecy will be fulfilled!
Your sword is slower
than I remember.
Playtime is over, hunter.
face your true executioner.
You hide your true form
from the waker
And leave your third wish
ungranted.
Time grows short, demon.
Death awaits you
at the end of my blade.
Death to the Djinn
Is merely the moment
before being reborn.
Unlike the eternal darkness
that comes with yours!
You grow weary...
And there is no escape
for you this time.
You will make a good
first meal for us!
Listen carefully, my old friend.
The sound of your neck snapping
Will usher in a new era on earth.
And I will be king of it all.
Do you wish a second chance, hunter?
Gamble your soul for another
attempt at futility?
And let you win?
I always win!
Sam!
Sam!
Hello?
You're safe?
Steven, where are you?
what just happened?
It's over.
Everything's fine.
What the hell was that all about?
He was a former client of mine.
Some nutcase who decided
he didn't need his medication.
Why was he after me?
To get to me.
How did you even know
where I was?
I was on my way to your house.
I saw your car.
I heard you screaming.
It doesn't matter.
- This guy's never going to see
the light of day again. - Oh, god.
Is Sam there?
No, I don't know where he is.
I want you to stay
in the house
And lock the doors until
I get there, understand?
- Lisa?
- Yeah?
Listen, there's something--
There's something
I need to tell you.
It's complicated.
I'm having trouble
finding the right words.
I'll be here.
Good.
I'm sure this comes
as no surprise.
I won't be back.
If the impulse to mourn
hits you, don't.
This way we can both be happy.
I talked to Steven
and now I understand
just how much he cares for you.
Be happy, Lisa.
Sam.
Hi.
I was on my way
to bring you these when--
That's very sweet.
Is everything all right, Lisa?
I'm still a little shaken
from the whole thing.
Sam just--
I know.
I'm just glad you're safe.
The whole way home I could
just imagine the worst.
I've been imagining
the worst for weeks.
I don't understand.
I'd help settle your case,
And then Sam would find it
in his heart to love you again.
Everything I'd wished for
would be gone.
Then when Sam walked again,
There would be no reason for him
not to embrace you.
To fight for your love--
When your love is all
I've ever wanted.
What's so funny?
I'm not laughing at you,
I'm laughing at me.
It's just that,
that was really amazing.
Now I'm waiting for you
to find a subtle way
To excuse yourself and leave.
Why would I do that?
Don't make me start thinking
this is all a dream.
Isn't it?
Lisa...
Do you love me
for who I really am?
I love the way
you just made me feel.
That's not what i asked.
A lot's happened
in the last 24 hours.
All the more reason
to answer me then.
Steven.
I need to know now, Lisa.
It's a simple question.
Do you love me
for who I really am?
Who is the real you, Steven?
This was a mistake.
This was no mistake.
It was a plan.
I gave you what you wanted.
Oh, thank you for the charity.
You said it yourself,
you loved the way I made you feel.
There's more to love
than great sex.
Why do you think I stayed with
Sam for so long?
What I don't understand
is why you still care.
He left you, Lisa,
don't you get that?
How would you know that?
did you read his note?
quite frankly, Steven,
Sam would never confide in you.
I wrote the note.
- You had no right.
- I did it for you.
- For us.
- I want you to leave.
- Lisa.
- Now!
You challenge me by revealing
your presence to the waker!
You failed to seduce
the third wish!
She must not escape!
Your interference
has threatened us all!
Leave her to me!
Running away is not the answer.
Who are you?
That's a question not easily
answered right now.
I am the beast in search
of beauty's love.
The man who opened
his heart to you,
Made love with you.
A man you trusted
with your deepest feelings.
And yet, I still deceived you.
What does that mean?
I'm not who you think I am.
I'm trapped.
And you are the key to my freedom.
If you can find some tiny bit
of love in your heart
for an ugly creature,
You'll release me
from my eternal torment.
Is love truly blind, my dear?
I'm afraid not.
Lisa.
Lisa. Lisa.
There is no escape, Lisa.
Unless I will it.
This place no longer exists
as you remember it.
I want things back
the way they were.
Try to look beyond
what your eyes see.
I am only a monster
If you choose to see me as one.
I can wear any body you like,
Any form you desire.
What you felt for Verdel,
you can feel for me.
just define the world
that pleases you,
And it's yours.
What lies beyond that wall
Is only frightening
because you can see it.
It is merely a face
put on the greed, violence
and atrocities
that humanity already turns
a blind eye to.
It is easily forgotten
if you choose not to look.
This is your reality
if you wish it, Lisa.
With a palace like none
this world has ever known.
join me.
Give your soul freely
and be my queen.
Anything you can imagine
will be yours.
The world will be
at my fingertips,
And I will be at yours.
You'll never be sick.
You'll never suffer.
You'll live forever.
- Lisa!
- Sam!
I had hoped for more!
I see now that the power
of human love
Is wielded by the object
of affection,
Not by its victim.
Here is your knight in shining armor
to save you, Lisa!
Resurrected from the ashes
of misfortune and pity.
Haven't you figured it out yet?
The fact that Sam can walk again
is a testament
of my love for you.
His legs?
I gave them back to him.
I can also give him
back his pain.
Oh, god!
God is not invited
to this party, Sam.
How do your legs feel?
You see, there was no miracle.
It was merely the second
of Lisa's three wishes.
The granting of the third wish
Is what you've interrupted here.
I never made a third wish!
I wish I could love you
for who you really are.
You remember.
You see, we've created
a bit of a paradox here, Lisa.
A wish that only you can grant.
But a wish, nonetheless,
Which must be granted.
stay away from her!
A gun?
When did you start
carrying a gun, Sam?
When I found Tracy's body
in her apartment.
- I expected to find Verdel there--
- He is Verdel, Sam!
Better?
What're you going to do now, Sam?
That's a bit too easy, isn't it?
so, let's try this one.
it's not really that hard.
Think of all the times
you wanted to kill yourself.
Very nice.
Now for the real test of mettle.
You wouldn't shoot me,
would you, Sam?
Not the woman you love.
Not the woman who stood by you
through all your pain and suffering.
- Shoot it, Sam!
- I love you, Sam.
I always will.
Shoot it!
Shoot it, it's not me!
You can't kill an immortal
with a toy.
There are many kinds of love, Lisa.
It's time we explored some of them.
No! A wish!
You offered me a wish once before.
- Don't!
- Is it still mine to make?
Your soul for a wish.
Don't do it, Sam!
it's a trick!
Choose your words carefully, Sam.
I wish I had a way to kill you!
Granted.
Now you have the means,
all you need is the effort.
Now, my turn.
Your death...
is only the beginning.
Your soul belongs to me
for eternity.
Sam!
It doesn't have
to be this way, Lisa.
I can make this nightmare...
end for you right now.
Let me give you paradise.
Paradise would be one more bullet.
Unfortunately,
it won't be that easy for you.
You've made your wishes.
You disappoint me, Lisa!
Your fate is inextricably
tied to me.
It has been so since you
found that stone.
What's done cannot be undone.
Grant the wish
or this torment will never end
for either of us.
I offer you...
one last chance
to escape the torment
that awaits you.
Give me your love,
and the universe is yours.
Not like that.
What is it you want?
I need Sam back.
Lisa.
I love you.
Be with me forever.
Love me like you did before.
Oh, Sam.
- Hi.
- Come on in.
- Thanks.
Listen...
Thanks for coming over
on such short notice.
It will only take
a moment, I promise.
Have a seat.
Make yourself comfortable.
You want something to drink?
juice, mineral water?
- Water would be great.
- Water it is.
I'm starting to think this case
is never going to get settled.
Sam is so frustrated.
You'd think a company this size
Would admit their fault
and do the honorable thing.
Well, honor's for battlefields.
Well, if this isn't turning into one
I don't know what is.
Ta-da!
- What's this?
- It's a gift.
For your patience and faith.
Steven, I know how hard you're working,
you don't need to--
I found it on one of my all night
web surfing jags.
It's nothing.
I know how much you like
that sort of thing.
It's very thoughtful.
Thank you.
Wow, I'm sorry.
If bad timing were fatal
I'd be road-kill.
- It's okay.
- No, it's not okay.
I should be more sensitive
to your situation.
It's not your fault.
It's not like I haven't
thought about it.
- Really?
- Yeah.
You've been really sweet
through this whole thing,
Above and beyond the call of duty.
That's me, nice guy Steven.
The kind of lawyer you want to
introduce to your homely friend.
- That's not what I meant.
- I know what you meant.
Look, Sam's accident
was a horrible thing.
And the complications surrounding
your case are a nightmare.
I wouldn't wish this
on my worst enemy.
I've known Sam for a long time.
But I see the way
he treats you now.
You've said it yourself.
You and Sam are at a crossroads.
All I want is a chance
To position myself as an option.
I gotta get back to the store.
Yeah.
It's broken.
Oh no.
Wow, did that come out of the box?
- What's the matter?
- I don't want it.
No problem.
um...
Tell you what,
I'll get this appraised.
We can keep it here until
I find out what it's worth.
That will be great.
I'd appreciate it.
You're not leaving, are you?
Yeah, I have to go.
Hey, Lisa...
Is everything okay between us?
Yeah, it's fine. Really.
Okay.
- 'bye.
- I got it.
'bye.
Good one, Steve.
Real smooth.
Sam, I'm home.
- Are you hungry?
- Nope.
You have to have
something for dinner.
I did.
I thought that was breakfast.
Very good.
So, you and Verdel figure out
how to make me a rich man yet?
Not yet.
He does have a plan, doesn't he?
I mean, that's why
you were over there today.
He's working hard on our case
without any compensation.
oh, I'm sure he's
getting compensated.
What do you mean by that?
He's a lawyer, isn't he?
Are you implying that
I slept with him?
Is that what this is about?
Sex?
It's always about sex.
Sex is not that important.
Sam!
It is to me!
And it was to you before--
Our relationship has always
been based on love and trust.
Love and trust are only words
if you can't back them up.
How can you love me
when I can't love you?
I don't care about--
If you want to be alone
you can always go upstairs.
God damn it.
- Not quite.
- What the hell?
That's closer.
Who are you?
How did you get in here?
I'm here to offer you a deal.
Is that right?
A deal?
Who sent you?
Hollister?
Is this some sort of a scare tactic
to get me into a settlement?
If I wanted to scare you,
you would be scared.
Are you?
You tell Hollister I don't care
how powerful he thinks he is,
We're not going to back down.
I suggest you climb back out
the window before I call the cops.
- You wish me to leave?
- No. No.
Not until you meet our city's finest.
I can grant you
anything you desire.
Anything you can imagine.
That sounds to me
like an offer to settle.
It is.
Your soul for a wish.
I wish you would stop
talking in riddles
And tell me exactly
what it is you want.
As you wish.
I want three wishes from the waker.
To free my race
from their eternal bondage.
And now that I've granted your wish,
I will take my soul.
Your identity
will offer me easy
access to the waker.
Nice.
Hello, Lisa.
I was hoping we could spend
a little time together.
Sam.
So much for the trip
down memory lane.
Good morning, Sam.
It's a little early
to be chasing ambulances.
The early bird gets the worm, Sam.
This morning we're going
for the whole garden.
Am I interrupting something here?
Not at all.
Can I get you some coffee?
No. I would like to take
you both out to breakfast
To discuss my new strategy
for your case.
- A new strategy? - Something Lisa
said yesterday inspired me.
Yeah, Lisa's full of inspiration.
You should see her in the morning.
I have interrupted, I'm sorry.
we can go over this another time.
Don't be ridiculous, Verdel.
Get what you came for.
You two don't need me.
just tell me where to sign.
At least I can still do that.
Well...
As your attorney,
I would advise you to pass
On the scintillating
breakfast invitation,
And take this to a more
neutral territory,
My office?
Yeah.
Give me a couple minutes.
Take your time.
I wish you'd join us, Sam.
That's not much of a wish.
I suppose it's not.
I'm certain you could
do better, right?
Not me.
I'm all wished out.
Come on, Sam.
You must have one wish
left inside you somewhere.
I used my last one
right before the doorbell rang.
Really?
How did it turn out?
I think we both know the answer
to that, don't we?
Ready.
Are you sure you won't
come with us, Sam?
Fine.
I'm not kidding.
It's the truth.
Caligula was the most
misunderstood man in rome.
Caligula was a monster.
Don't believe everything you read.
He was a passionate man with a
taste for beauty and extravagance.
- You sound like you knew him.
- Maybe I did-- In another life.
What? What is it?
- What's different about you?
- I told you.
I was inspired last night to become
the man you see before you.
You told me you were
inspired into a new strategy.
Which, by the way,
we have yet to talk about.
Ah yes,
The strategy.
- So?
- I'm waiting for you.
Waiting for me to what?
Tell me what you wish for
and the strategy begins.
Steven, don't tell me
this was just a game
To get me alone with you.
Play the game, Lisa,
then judge me.
Come on, make a wish.
All right.
I wish you could make them
settle this case.
That wasn't so hard, was it?
Will you tell me your plan?
Shh, listen.
- Yeah.
- Doug Hollister, Steven Verdel.
How did you get this number?
Did you have a chance
to go over our new proposal?
What kind of game
are you playing, Verdel?
You're about to find out, Doug.
Do those numbers fall in place for you?
Are you out of your fucking mind?
$10 million?
What are you, the hero
of some John Grisham novel?
Who the hell do you think
you're dealing with?
You call this number again
and you'll be writing briefs
for what's left of your pitiful,
insignificant career!
Don't hang up, Doug.
I'm certain we can
settle this right now.
What the hell is going on?
I suggest you hold your tongue
until we're finished.
Thank you, Doug,
that's very kind of you.
We both know you can
cut off your nose to spite
your face,
But that's not going to change the
testimony of my star witness.
I think you know-- The designer
of the braking system
That failed on my client's bike.
The one that's cashing the
payoff checks to keep him quiet.
Mr. Hollister?
You get the point, Doug, huh?
Graft just doesn't inspire the same
loyalty these days, does it, Doug?
I'll tell you what,
sign the agreement,
fax it over to my office and
we'll end this painful exchange?
I know that you're racked
with pain over this,
but I'm not the one holding
a gun to your head, am I?
You know me, Doug,
I love a good story.
Shoot.
Okay... yeah.
It's been fun, Doug.
All right.
You see?
He was dying to get it done.
Am I supposed to believe someone
was actually on the other end?
Have a look.
I love my job.
- I can't believe it.
- Oh, believe it.
I've also decided
not to take a fee.
Steven?
It is not about money
for me, Lisa.
- I can't let you do that.
- It's done.
Go home and share
the good news with Sam.
Enjoy it.
What happened to you last night?
You might say I was reborn.
Thank you.
- Sam!
- Yeah?
You are not going to believe this!
He did it!
Steven did it!
Sounds like breakfast went well.
$10 million!
They settled
And faxed the agreement
right to his office.
Sam, can you believe this?
Great. Now we can start arguing
about how to split it.
He not taking anything.
he's not taking a fee.
I was talking about us.
- This is good news.
- It is.
It's your last hurdle
on your path to freedom.
I understand why
you're so excited.
You think I've stayed to get
a piece of this settlement?
It's the best reason
I can come up with.
Why are you doing this, Sam?
Why are you doing this to me?
Hello.
It's for you.
Hello.
Have you two booked your trip
around the world yet?
Not yet.
I was hoping I could take you both
to dinner tonight to celebrate.
I don't think so, Steven.
Come on. This case has been hard
on everyone.
Let me share your good fortune
for one night.
I don't think Sam's up to it.
Put him on then.
That's the least he can do
for $10 million.
- What time?
- 8:00, the palace.
Okay.
A few loose ends to tie up?
He wants to take us
to dinner to celebrate.
I assume you don't want to go.
I wouldn't want to be a third wheel.
Or a fourth, fifth,
six and seventh for that matter.
Enjoy your dinner.
Thank you.
Wow! You look fantastic.
- Thank you.
- Please.
Where's Sam?
He didn't feel up to coming.
I took the liberty
of ordering wine.
I hope you don't mind.
So, a toast--
To your new life.
To your amazing work
and incredible generosity.
You keep that up and you'll
have me drunk in no time.
So, what's with Sam?
why wasn't he up to it?
Was he disappointed
with the settlement?
No, it's not about the money.
There's enough to pay the
medical bills and his therapy,
with a fortune left over.
He just...
He pushes me away
every chance he gets.
It's like I'm a part of his injury.
He doesn't know how to communicate--
Is there something else I can do?
You're not a psychiatrist too,
are you?
I can be anything
you want me to be.
The spoken word is a powerful thing.
Don't be afraid to tell me
what's on your mind.
I just wish Sam could walk again.
Yeah.
I understand.
Here we go.
That looks terrific.
Thank you.
Well, dig in.
Can I take these for you?
Yeah, please.
I wish someone would
kiss me like that.
- They will.
- I won't hold my breath.
Lisa, you forgot your dessert.
Sam...
- How was dinner?
- It was great.
Normally I'd say
I wish you were there, but,
that would be a lie.
Obviously you've been busy here
with something more important.
If you need anything...
Call me.
We need to get you to a doctor.
It's not your problem anymore.
If not mine, then whose?
I've been here through it all.
and like it or not,
Whatever this miracle is,
I'm a part of it.
just because I was
out for dinner with Steven--
This is about my legs,
nothing else.
That's why you need
to see a doctor.
Let me rephrase this for you.
All I feel is pain.
And the only place
I have feeling is in my legs.
It means he's walking.
None of the doctors can explain it.
The x-rays still show
the damage, he's in pain,
But he's walking.
I've got to do his chart.
I'll bet anything
mercury went retrograde
And passed through
his fourth house.
What?
I'll explain it later.
What about his mojo?
is that rising?
- What are you talking about?
- Sex.
Have you guys done it yet?
It'll come.
I'll work up his chart
And give you an e.t.e.--
Estimated time of erection."
I don't know.
Do you think this
makes me look too fat?
Only in the right places, right?
- Yeah.
- Really?
Can I help you with something?
Yes, I believe you can.
Steven, what are you doing here?
This is nice, Lisa.
with your new windfall,
You guys could expand
and franchise.
Yeah, we like the intimacy.
It makes it a lot easier
for women to shop.
Especially for underwear.
I don't remember underwear
looking like this.
Great choice, wrong size.
I'd say you're more of a 16.
Course, I couldn't be sure
until I saw it on you.
Would you like a dressing room?
Only if you have the shoes to match.
This is my partner Tracy.
Tracy this is Steven Verdel
our lawyer.
And friend.
Nice to meet you, Tracy.
So you're the man responsible
for the resurrection?
No, he's the man responsible
for the settlement.
Whatever. Destiny has a way of
tying things together.
I couldn't agree more.
In fact, that's why I'm here.
I was hoping when you
got off work
You'd come by my place,
we could talk about it?
Our destiny?
I think the last 24 hours
have been rather miraculous,
Wouldn't you say?
And I was thinking that--
well...
I was hoping that it had
something to do with you and me.
Come on, it will be just talking.
I'll make you a real mean
cup of coffee.
Okay, but I have to check
on Sam first.
Okay then.
Tonight?
- Yeah.
- Great.
- It was nice meeting you.
- You, too.
You'd better be careful, Lisa.
An aura that strong
is capable of anything.
You going somewhere?
Get a beer.
You don't want one, do you?
Since when do you need
a haircut to get a beer?
since I started walking.
Sam, we need to talk about us.
Are you sure you don't
want Verdel here?
He's a good lawyer, isn't he?
I understood your anger before.
I mean, look at you,
you can walk.
I don't understand why
we can't be--
What?
Pretend like it never happened?
pretend like I didn't see
the way you looked at me
When you bathed me, dressed me
and wheeled me down the street?
That is not true.
I always loved you.
You pitied me.
No, you pitied you.
I didn't fall in love
with your legs, Sam.
All I ever wanted was for us
to love each other
Like we did before.
It's not like it was before.
I know. And you remind me
every chance you get.
Look, we're not married.
The settlement's half yours.
why don't we get it over with
And let me pretend to enjoy
whatever time I have left?
What are you talking about?
Sex, Lisa.
I'm talking about sex.
How's it been for you lately?
'cause for me it's been--
Where are you going?
The only place where I won't
be looked at like a patient.
And it only costs me
a dollar a dance.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Do you believe that prayers
can be answered?
Well, I don't know about that,
But I do believe that we can
make our wishes reality.
What's the difference between
a wish and a prayer?
A prayer is an exercise in faith,
But a wish is
a confirmation of desire.
When you desire something
strong enough,
You manifest it as tangible.
All right--
You wished for this lawsuit
to be settled, and it was.
You wished for Sam to walk again,
And he did.
Had you wished for the past,
Sam might not be
where he is tonight.
But you didn't.
I think that the future
holds your destiny--
Not the past.
What do you wish for?
To be the kind of man
you want me to be.
I think the wine went
straight to my head.
I'm going to get some water.
No, no, no.
Stay.
Let me get it.
I wish I could just love you
for who you really are.
Another wish.
What?
What's the matter, Steven?
I want you to leave.
Please.
Okay.
Steve, are you all right?
I'm sorry.
I'm just not feeling very well.
It's okay.
I understand.
Why do you delay?
Fulfill the prophecy.
Grant the third wish.
The third wish has been made.
You must grant it
And free your brothers.
Tell me how I shall grant
the third wish,
That she love me
for who I truly am?
Human love is a weakness.
Take her.
Human love must be given freely,
or it isn't love.
It's a trap,
A wish only she can grant.
Be warned,
the hunter has been awakened.
Fulfill the prophecy
before he stops her.
If he kills the waker--
I shall slay the hunter
with his own sword.
No one shall harm the waker.
Go away!
- Hello, Tracy.
- Hi.
I'm sorry to bother you.
I was hoping we could
talk about Lisa.
Don't tell me she stood you up?
No. No.
In fact,
we had a rather nice evening.
I've never had to deal
with these feelings before.
And...
I'm sorry, I shouldn't
bother you with this.
It's okay.
It's what I do.
Come on.
I'm not certain
what I have to offer
Would be appealing
to a woman like Lisa.
You can offer love, can't you?
I love what I do.
Unfortunately, what I do doesn't
Allow me much time for love.
Spoken like a true heartbreaker.
I don't want to break
her heart-- I want to win it.
I was hoping you could give me
some insight on how to do that.
I'm loaded with insight.
Shoot.
Suppose I had some dark secret
I didn't want Lisa to know
But I needed to tell her,
you know?
Do you think she could
still love me?
Depends on the secret.
- You're not married, are you?
- No, I'm not married.
How dark can it be?
I guess it depends on who you ask.
The key to sharing dark secrets
is all in the timing.
You have to pick your moments.
I'd start with wine and roses.
And then?
Do I have to spell
it out for you?
It's obvious to me where you
want this relationship to go.
Remember, we're dealing
with a woman
Who hasn't made love
in three years.
Three years?
It seems like an eternity
since I've romanced a woman.
It's not as complicated
as people make it out to be.
It's all about her.
All you need to do
Is fulfill her every
wish and desire,
And then any revelations
Will seem all the easier
to take.
If you were Lisa,
what would you wish for?
After what she's been through?
If I was Lisa,
I'd wish for some killer sex.
Killer sex?
Killer sex, Steve.
Pushing it past your comfort zone.
That sounds like you're
talking about pain.
Whatever--
pleasure, pain.
It all goes through the Same
nerve center anyway, right?
Seems like you know
what you're talking about.
Not with the men
I've been dating.
I wish I was having
some killer sex.
Granted.
Careful what you wish for, my dear.
Let go!
Let me go!
It's just you.
Is that disappointment or fear?
No. I was having a nightmare.
We were making love
and the weirdest thing happened.
Yeah, I've had that
nightmare a lot lately.
The past.
No, I didn't mean it that way.
Hello?
Is there any way I can bring Tracy up
on murder charges? 'cause she's killing me.
What's going on?
I've been calling her for over
an hour. She won't answer.
Inventory's not finished and
the order has to be in by noon.
I'll be in as soon as I can, okay?
How you doing, pal?
What can I get you?
Your best brandy.
Is that choice, or what?
What do you suppose would make
a woman like that fall in love?
A fat wallet.
- And a fatter dick.
- Money and sex?
That's what makes the world
go round, my friend.
I mean, look at her.
What else would
a piece like that need?
A B.A. in marketing?
She's got her pick
of every guy in this place.
And she knows it.
Then why doesn't she just choose?
She does...
every night.
Relax, it's early.
You wanna be a player,
just step up to the table.
- Do you find her desirable?
- Desirable?
I'd sell my soul just to be
a pimple on her ass.
Really?
Enjoy the view...
brother.
Nick?
Nick?
I don't know how you put up with her.
Believe me, it's mutual.
Did you bring the inventory sheets?
Oh, no.
What I'd tell you?
Good morning.
My name's Jennifer.
And who's the lucky girl
we're shopping for today?
Or boy.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Where do you think you're going?
Don't make me use this
on such a pretty face.
Get the hell out of here
before I call the cops.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Where is the waker?
Excuse me?
She's awakened the djinn.
She's made the third wish
that will bring upon armageddon.
oh, I see.
Let's see if I can...
Get someone over here
to help find that... waker.
Yes, you may.
There's a tall, attractive man,
robbing my store at this very moment.
Shit.
Looking for clients?
You might say that.
Why did you want
to meet here, Verdel?
Is this where you brought
Lisa for dinner?
I don't think she would appreciate
the amenities this establishment
has to offer.
What do you think of her, Sammy?
'cause she's the fantasy
of every man in this club.
And you can have her
if you want her.
What are you talking about?
Granting you a wish.
How many nights did you sit
in your wheelchair
And wish you could take
a woman like her home?
Would you like
to have sex again, Sam?
The kind of sex you remember?
The kind of sex
you can only dream about?
Because I can make
that happen for you.
Wish for her and she's yours.
Anyway... anywhere.
You can get her for me?
If that's what you wish.
Then I don't want her.
'cause anything you touch,
I want no part of.
Does that include Lisa?
That's right.
I touched her, too.
I got to tell you,
I like the way she feels.
You probably
don't remember that,
do you, Sam?
shall I remind you?
I don't think Lisa would mind.
I got a little secret
for you--
It takes more than two good legs
to satisfy a woman like Lisa.
Don't you want to hit me, Sam?
Yeah, I think you do.
I'll bet you wish you could kick
the shit out of me right here.
Come on, say it.
on my terms, Verdel.
Not yours.
That is a good way to lose
your hand, my friend.
Come on, you know the rules.
Maybe it's time to change them.
Change them? Did you hear this guy?
Pretty funny.
Why don't you find a seat
and enjoy the show?
And the next drink's on me.
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
It seems to me this drink's on you.
I've been waiting a long time
for one of you big spenders to
come in and step over that line.
Let's see what you got, tough guy.
Is that what you wish me to do?
Is that what I wish you to do?
What are you, some kind of fag?
is that it?
Want me to smack you around
so you can get off?
I want to give you what you want.
Get the fuck out of here.
Is that your wish?
Is that your wish,
you sick fuck?
I'm just here to serve you.
fuck off!
You know what I'd wish?
I'd wish you'd put up
a better fight.
Granted.
What the fuck?
Let's see what you got,
tough guy.
That is a good way to lose
your hand, my friend.
This is a better way.
Now, is it mondays and wednesdays,
or tuesdays and thursdays?
Satisfied, I hope.
Why do you continue to delay?
Grant the third wish!
I am your only hope for freedom.
Soon the man the waker loves
will be removed
And she will be free
To love me as she wished.
We sense your growing
enchantment with the waker.
Be warned-- this will be
the downfall of us all.
Silence!
Are you crazy?
I could have killed you!
You are the waker of the Djinn!
You must be killed before
the third wish is granted!
Run away, Lisa!
go now!
Just keep running.
don't turn around!
3000 years between breaths,
my friend.
How does it feel?
It's a pity your life
is merely a charade.
A titan of such nobility,
Bound until the waker
makes her third wish to me.
A third wish not yet granted.
- What stops you?
- You, my friend.
Destroying you after so many battles
Will make the birth of my race
that much sweeter.
Your human form has made you weak.
I sense conflict...
emotion.
The prophecy will be fulfilled!
Your sword is slower
than I remember.
Playtime is over, hunter.
face your true executioner.
You hide your true form
from the waker
And leave your third wish
ungranted.
Time grows short, demon.
Death awaits you
at the end of my blade.
Death to the Djinn
Is merely the moment
before being reborn.
Unlike the eternal darkness
that comes with yours!
You grow weary...
And there is no escape
for you this time.
You will make a good
first meal for us!
Listen carefully, my old friend.
The sound of your neck snapping
Will usher in a new era on earth.
And I will be king of it all.
Do you wish a second chance, hunter?
Gamble your soul for another
attempt at futility?
And let you win?
I always win!
Sam!
Sam!
Hello?
You're safe?
Steven, where are you?
what just happened?
It's over.
Everything's fine.
What the hell was that all about?
He was a former client of mine.
Some nutcase who decided
he didn't need his medication.
Why was he after me?
To get to me.
How did you even know
where I was?
I was on my way to your house.
I saw your car.
I heard you screaming.
It doesn't matter.
- This guy's never going to see
the light of day again. - Oh, god.
Is Sam there?
No, I don't know where he is.
I want you to stay
in the house
And lock the doors until
I get there, understand?
- Lisa?
- Yeah?
Listen, there's something--
There's something
I need to tell you.
It's complicated.
I'm having trouble
finding the right words.
I'll be here.
Good.
I'm sure this comes
as no surprise.
I won't be back.
If the impulse to mourn
hits you, don't.
This way we can both be happy.
I talked to Steven
and now I understand
just how much he cares for you.
Be happy, Lisa.
Sam.
Hi.
I was on my way
to bring you these when--
That's very sweet.
Is everything all right, Lisa?
I'm still a little shaken
from the whole thing.
Sam just--
I know.
I'm just glad you're safe.
The whole way home I could
just imagine the worst.
I've been imagining
the worst for weeks.
I don't understand.
I'd help settle your case,
And then Sam would find it
in his heart to love you again.
Everything I'd wished for
would be gone.
Then when Sam walked again,
There would be no reason for him
not to embrace you.
To fight for your love--
When your love is all
I've ever wanted.
What's so funny?
I'm not laughing at you,
I'm laughing at me.
It's just that,
that was really amazing.
Now I'm waiting for you
to find a subtle way
To excuse yourself and leave.
Why would I do that?
Don't make me start thinking
this is all a dream.
Isn't it?
Lisa...
Do you love me
for who I really am?
I love the way
you just made me feel.
That's not what i asked.
A lot's happened
in the last 24 hours.
All the more reason
to answer me then.
Steven.
I need to know now, Lisa.
It's a simple question.
Do you love me
for who I really am?
Who is the real you, Steven?
This was a mistake.
This was no mistake.
It was a plan.
I gave you what you wanted.
Oh, thank you for the charity.
You said it yourself,
you loved the way I made you feel.
There's more to love
than great sex.
Why do you think I stayed with
Sam for so long?
What I don't understand
is why you still care.
He left you, Lisa,
don't you get that?
How would you know that?
did you read his note?
quite frankly, Steven,
Sam would never confide in you.
I wrote the note.
- You had no right.
- I did it for you.
- For us.
- I want you to leave.
- Lisa.
- Now!
You challenge me by revealing
your presence to the waker!
You failed to seduce
the third wish!
She must not escape!
Your interference
has threatened us all!
Leave her to me!
Running away is not the answer.
Who are you?
That's a question not easily
answered right now.
I am the beast in search
of beauty's love.
The man who opened
his heart to you,
Made love with you.
A man you trusted
with your deepest feelings.
And yet, I still deceived you.
What does that mean?
I'm not who you think I am.
I'm trapped.
And you are the key to my freedom.
If you can find some tiny bit
of love in your heart
for an ugly creature,
You'll release me
from my eternal torment.
Is love truly blind, my dear?
I'm afraid not.
Lisa.
Lisa. Lisa.
There is no escape, Lisa.
Unless I will it.
This place no longer exists
as you remember it.
I want things back
the way they were.
Try to look beyond
what your eyes see.
I am only a monster
If you choose to see me as one.
I can wear any body you like,
Any form you desire.
What you felt for Verdel,
you can feel for me.
just define the world
that pleases you,
And it's yours.
What lies beyond that wall
Is only frightening
because you can see it.
It is merely a face
put on the greed, violence
and atrocities
that humanity already turns
a blind eye to.
It is easily forgotten
if you choose not to look.
This is your reality
if you wish it, Lisa.
With a palace like none
this world has ever known.
join me.
Give your soul freely
and be my queen.
Anything you can imagine
will be yours.
The world will be
at my fingertips,
And I will be at yours.
You'll never be sick.
You'll never suffer.
You'll live forever.
- Lisa!
- Sam!
I had hoped for more!
I see now that the power
of human love
Is wielded by the object
of affection,
Not by its victim.
Here is your knight in shining armor
to save you, Lisa!
Resurrected from the ashes
of misfortune and pity.
Haven't you figured it out yet?
The fact that Sam can walk again
is a testament
of my love for you.
His legs?
I gave them back to him.
I can also give him
back his pain.
Oh, god!
God is not invited
to this party, Sam.
How do your legs feel?
You see, there was no miracle.
It was merely the second
of Lisa's three wishes.
The granting of the third wish
Is what you've interrupted here.
I never made a third wish!
I wish I could love you
for who you really are.
You remember.
You see, we've created
a bit of a paradox here, Lisa.
A wish that only you can grant.
But a wish, nonetheless,
Which must be granted.
stay away from her!
A gun?
When did you start
carrying a gun, Sam?
When I found Tracy's body
in her apartment.
- I expected to find Verdel there--
- He is Verdel, Sam!
Better?
What're you going to do now, Sam?
That's a bit too easy, isn't it?
so, let's try this one.
it's not really that hard.
Think of all the times
you wanted to kill yourself.
Very nice.
Now for the real test of mettle.
You wouldn't shoot me,
would you, Sam?
Not the woman you love.
Not the woman who stood by you
through all your pain and suffering.
- Shoot it, Sam!
- I love you, Sam.
I always will.
Shoot it!
Shoot it, it's not me!
You can't kill an immortal
with a toy.
There are many kinds of love, Lisa.
It's time we explored some of them.
No! A wish!
You offered me a wish once before.
- Don't!
- Is it still mine to make?
Your soul for a wish.
Don't do it, Sam!
it's a trick!
Choose your words carefully, Sam.
I wish I had a way to kill you!
Granted.
Now you have the means,
all you need is the effort.
Now, my turn.
Your death...
is only the beginning.
Your soul belongs to me
for eternity.
Sam!
It doesn't have
to be this way, Lisa.
I can make this nightmare...
end for you right now.
Let me give you paradise.
Paradise would be one more bullet.
Unfortunately,
it won't be that easy for you.
You've made your wishes.
You disappoint me, Lisa!
Your fate is inextricably
tied to me.
It has been so since you
found that stone.
What's done cannot be undone.
Grant the wish
or this torment will never end
for either of us.
I offer you...
one last chance
to escape the torment
that awaits you.
Give me your love,
and the universe is yours.
Not like that.
What is it you want?
I need Sam back.
Lisa.
I love you.
Be with me forever.
Love me like you did before.
Oh, Sam.
