Devil's Play (2025) Movie Script

1
Anyway, I want
to kinda start out today.
Saint Michael.
Saint Michael was a very heavy,
important dude.
Saint Michael, the Archangel,
defends us in a battle.
Be our defense against the
wickedness and the snarls of the
devil.
Reverend Beau Jackson
finds himself in hot water
again.
Jackson's flock of rabid
supporters has grown
exponentially in the last few
years.
Remarkable sights tonight as
Reverend Beau Jackson delivered
his nightly sermon on his
channel - The Voice of Heaven.
The governor of California
coming to blows with the
Reverend
who is being investigated
for tax fraud.
Jackson has said he's coming for
his seat in the next election.
Are
you so unobservant
as not to have found out
that sanity and happiness
are an impossible combination?
No sane man can be happy.
To him, life is real, and he
sees what a fearful thing it is.
Only the mad can be happy.
Anyway, why do you
ask this of me?
I'm standing in the
precipice of the holiness of
God.
And I execute
judgement on your ass.
I execute judgement
on you, Satan!
I demand judgement on you!
I demand
goddamn judgement on you!
I demand validation to come now,
immediately.
I'm calling your ass out.
You wanna go, let's go.
Come on, alright?
You're fucking disappear.
- He's been drinking. -
You are deaf like your mother!
How many times I have told you
- I love you, Mum.
- To turn that shit down.
Ah?
Where are you going?
Your payback is
coming, motherfucker!
Prince!
Oh Prince of the heavenly host,
may God bless us!
I think we should
maybe take a little time
to give a little
thanks to the Lord.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done;
- on earth as it is in heaven.
- Amen.
Give us this day
our daily bread.
And I always used to
leave this line out.
And forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive
those that trespass against us.
I include it in now.
Hey, time to wake up.
- What the hell are you doing?
- Saving you.
Who says I need saving?
Does the fact I wrapped a
fucking chain around me not tell
you something?
You can't even kill yourself in
this town without someone
sticking their oar in.
You're welcome.
And who are you?
I am part of that power which
eternally wills evil and
eternally works good.
Hungry?
I'm fine.
Look, if you want to finish
what you started,
I'll happily row you back out
there. But for now, indulge me.
Are you scared?
I don't intend to be yet another
girl from this town to go
missing.
Why would I save your life
just to take it away?
- Listen, thank you...
- Look,
life obviously has
plans for you yet.
You know nothing about my life.
- Your girlfriend's?
- No girlfriend.
You always carry
women's clothes?
You want
me to follow you home?
What home?
I was born in London.
My dad...
He died. My mum's from here.
We moved back when I was young.
Just the two of us.
But she has a habit of picking
up strays along the way.
Even though she's deaf, she
definitely has a thing for men
with British accents.
- You never told me your name.
- I go by many names.
- Such as?
- Lucifer.
- Mephistopheles.
- Is that right?
The Devil. Satan. Hades.
Ruler of the underworld?
- Whatever you like. - Do you
say that to all the girls?
Only the truly special ones.
You don't wanna be late.
This is running behind.
The Devil's in the details.
- Late for what? - Our next
encounter, amongst other things.
Tomorrow. Noon. Back here.
Next encounter? What makes
you think I haven't got plans?
Attempted suicide suggests
an open schedule.
Why does he make us
wait outside like dogs?
Nobody goes inside. Why do you
think he does business from his
fucking car?
It's bullshit. Working
for a British prick, huh.
He's my friend.
Hey, Luka! Make sure your people
vote right. Don't fuck me.
You're unfuckable, my dear.
You fucking idiot!
Hey, you! Go! Go!
Sorry. I thought
your other guest...
That 'other guest'
is running for election, Victor.
What are you running for?
Arsehole of the month?
Roma represent 10% of the
population. Our vote goes to the
highest bidder.
She's a VIP, so she gets to sit
wherever the fuck she likes. As
for you...
A washed up ex
professional boxer.
Now placing uninformed bets on
the sport in which you used to
shine.
Was that a bit unkind?
Was it, Victor?
- Listen, Luka... - No, no. Just
give us the money, Victor!
And be on your way!
It's not all here.
It's just a token.
I just I just need more time.
Well, that's we all need
more of, Victor. Time.
Breathe! Just breathe.
You break my heart, Victor!
- You fucking animal!
- Go, Alex.
Fuck! You'll have
the rest next week.
Not by selling that fucking
shit, you won't. No more dope,
you understand!
Rack that coke-filled
fucking nuts of yours.
Sell a fucking trophy or a belt.
And Victor, if I find
out you've been gambling
I know every bookie
in this town.
Next time I'll take
something you really miss.
You fucking leave
Maria out of this!
What do you think I am?
Some unflinching monster, yeah?
I was talking about your cock.
Such concern for
Maria though, Victor!
Not once did I hear
your plead for your daughter.
I don't have a daughter.
You really are my fascinating
fucking little worm, Victor. Do
you know that?
You're poor little lamb.
What happened to you, eh? Hm?
Alek, tell Victor
to fuck off now.
- Victor, fuck off!
- Fuck you, Alek!
Iva's not my fucking daughter!
Iva, where were
you today? What are those?
I was at the lake.
A stranger gave them to me.
Who was he?
Just a boy.
Probably part of this
sex traffic ring.
You know you should see him
again and get yourself
trafficked out
from this shit hole.
I don't want to do this anymore.
We just want names, Petra.
We give you pocket money.
You're a smart girl.
You know what will happen
if you stop delivering.
Big market for girls like you.
She's living in a boarding
house. No parents to speak of.
She's a stray.
Good girl.
I like strays.
What time do you call this?
Don't you think it's
a little late now?
The table is ready.
Dinner's getting cold.
Didn't you think of me?
I'm hungry.
Where have you been?
Where?
Where have you been? So long?
Mum! Snap out of it! Mum, Mum!
Mum! Stop it, mum!
Mum! Mum, look at
me! Stop! Stop, mum!
Stop it now! No, no!
Breathe! Breathe! Breathe, mum!
Breathe! Now you're OK.
No, no, don't! Snap out of it!
It's OK. Breathe with me!
Breathe with me!
Breathe with me, mum!
Smile at me. Smile
at me, mommy! Smile!
It's OK, breathe!
OK, OK. Look! Look at me!
Look, look, look at me! Watch!
Yes, mommy!
Yes.
It's OK!
You're OK.
You're still in there somewhere.
You gotta give back.
You gotta be a man.
That's the most important thing
in this life, is to be a man.
- Fuck yeah! - But the most important
thing?
- Yes, Sir?
- You know what it is?
Is to be an honest man.
You got to give back to God.
I mean metaphorically, you've
got to give him back half your
nickels.
I mean, what are you gonna do?
You're gonna go out and buy a
Cadillac.
Then you're gonna
want a Lamborghini;
then you're gonna want a
Maserati; then you're gonna
want...
Get the donation
hotline up on the screen
and caption it
'Give God half of your nickels'.
I like that title.
You're going to want to kind of
help out the people in the world
who've got nothing, you know?
I'll give you an
example. There's a girl.
Her name,
and I'm gonna say
her name, Asia.
And I promised her
that I'd never forget her.
And I have her name
tattooed right here.
Who buys this shit?
I don't even recognize
that man anymore!
Ah, fuck!
- More?
- Sure.
More?
Happy families?
Go with it.
Beautiful pancakes
for a beautiful lady.
Tell her what I said.
He says he's sorry
for his small dick,
but there's not much he can do.
Can I help you with
something, huh?
What happened with your hand?
An accident?
No. It was Luka, right?
Luka's handy work.
The great victorious Victor!
Some boxing skills, huh?
Watch your fucking mouth!
Hey, you wanna smoke?
Yeah? Come on.
Fuck off!
What the hell was that about?
Which would you rather?
Perpetual darkness or perpetual
light?
- You don't want to know.
- Both are necessary.
Neither come into play
without the other.
There is darkness
within the most virtuous,
and light within
the most corrupt.
- Even in Victor?
- Especially in Victor.
Everybody serves a purpose.
I never told you who Victor is.
A balance must be
maintained at all times.
In a world where leaders hide
behind a mask of righteousness,
things must change.
And you're planning on
giving them a push, are you?
We both are. If you're capable.
How do I know you are?
I've guided nations into rising
up and whispered in the ear
of the revolutionaries
that bought them toppling down.
I provided the pickaxe that laid
the first crack in the Berlin
Wall.
I personally drove
Rasputin to Kazan.
Right. That's quite a rsum!
Hey, sorry about the crow.
- Are you spying on me?
- Protecting you.
I don't know if you've lost your
mind or you're just grooming me,
but maybe you should try
and recruit someone else.
I can give you a long list
of suitable candidates.
Town monument. Tomorrow. Noon.
Fuck off, creep!
This
ain't a perfect world.
I mean there's a lot of evil
that roams our world.
I mean, can you imagine
I don't have any children,
but I mean you imagine you have
a little girl and a little boy
that you loved
and some evil, devil worshiping,
satanic bastard
kidnapped your child.
And like...
You can't find your kid for days
and you don't know where the
hell they are or what's
happening to them.
Then you find out that
they've been raped
and murdered and you've got to
live the whole rest of your
life...
Bring up camera one.
Missing what you love most.
I mean, that's just the Devil.
That's what you do!
That's what you do!
Then go to two.
That's what you do!
Oh, they love that shit!
That's what you do!
Nadia, get over here! Sit down.
Hey, how are you?
- Banana?
- Ah, I'm okay for a banana.
- So why are you so over
dressed? - You think so?
- For a pool day?
- For a pool day.
You're not even wet.
You want to get wet?
Reverend Beau, come on. You
have five minutes to be on set.
- Yes sweetheart, I'll be right
there. - Come on, darling.
- I'm on the run.
- Five minutes!
Looks like you've
got to get going.
She's always got to jump up my
ass when I'm talking to a pretty
girl, right?
- I heard that!
- Pain in the ass!
I'm sure.
You're gonna bow on your knees
to all the littluns that you
hurt.
You're gonna fall on your face.
You're gonna fall for all
the evil you've done!
You're gonna crawl
on your belly like a snake!
- You're gonna crawl on your
belly. - Snake? I like that.
- As God intended.
- As God intended.
As God intended.
In the
garden of Eden.
You're gonna crawl like a
fucking worm in the garden of
Eden...
Your payback is
coming motherfucker!
Okay, good job,
Beau. Take a break.
Go on, piss off then.
You know all about
that, don't you?
So noble, so mysterious!
Such sweet, sweet bullshit!
I pity you.
I know, I know, I
know you have a plan.
This is all part of your plan.
Your great fucking plan,
big and galactic in scope!
I have a plan too, you know?
It's a good one.
It's going to
work. I've seen it.
I've met a girl.
An incredible experience!
Now I know why you
want their love.
Woof! Woof!
Here you are.
Here I am.
Devil or not, you're trouble.
Trouble? I saved your life.
That's what I'm referring to.
Such a hollow soul
for somebody so young!
Doesn't the Devil thrive
off lack of faith?
You've got me all wrong.
One needs faith in something.
God, the Devil, it
doesn't matter to me.
I just need a starting point.
Hm, then I guess you're
barking up the wrong tree.
I lost my faith the
day I lost my dad.
- And what about your
friends? - I don't have many.
Peter and Petra, the twins.
Shit!
- Wakey, wakey hands up snakey.
- Fuck!
Happy Birthday, Grandpa.
Enough celebrations, my
beautiful twins. Go and get
ready for school.
- School finished yesterday,
grandma. - Then go and get ready
for something.
Bogdan and Elena have taken me
a few times when
things have gone wrong at home.
Elena's got
a hold over them.
They can't sneeze
without her knowing.
She has them locked down.
But they're just trying to
escape, like the rest of us.
But the house will be theirs one
day, provided they don't leave.
Hey, that fuck horse you gave
me, amazing. How you do it, baby
girl?
And Peter...
He's a math's freak.
Loves to gamble.
A man
after my own heart.
- Another payout?
- Small one.
Oh, no.
Come on, Peter.
No, Peter, come on! This horse
ran like a fucking donkey.
We all make mistakes.
Predicting
outcomes, studying odds.
Saving his winnings,
so they can get out.
Where you're going? See, we
have a little problem, Peter.
You don't make mistakes
with your own bets.
Now you were late with my
football tips and missed the
deadlines.
- What's going on, son?
- I don't have anything else.
Anyway, what's in this for me?
You fucking owe me,
you little pansy bitch!
No, I don't. I'm done.
You are on your own!
Don't ever put your
fucking hand on me.
- Go suck a dick you little
pansy! - Yes, some other time!
- They're still hounding you?
- As long as I keep delivering.
- How do you live with yourself?
- You'd rather they take me?
- Get up, faggot!
- What did you call him?
We kissed once.
If he couldn't admit he was gay
before, this definitely
confirmed it.
You're playing with fire!
Fuck off.
Playing with fire pays out.
George, place the fucking bet!
Iva, tell your mother
to bring me a beer.
The fridge is right
there, go and get one.
George! It's not even...
It's just kicked off!
Just... George.
- Iva!
- Mum.
Mum!
Victor wants a beer.
Where's the beer?
Victor wants a beer.
My dad never had a funeral.
The Church declared he had
committed the ultimate sin.
And It was swept under the rug.
I believe that every creature
deserves a proper send off.
You're beautiful.
Have you ever fired a gun?
You want to get out
of this backwards place?
To do that, you need to
transcend into something bigger.
- But I'm not... - I'm not
talking about religion.
Faith, yes. Spirituality, yes.
But not religion.
We all have a choice to believe.
Why would you strip yourself
of the beauty of belief?
The truth lies within.
The fairy tale is as real
as you want it to be.
Will it hurt my shoulder?
This rifle has minimal recoil.
You don't need to worry about
that.
Be still for a moment.
Inhale.
And exhale.
Don't worry, go again.
What are your
thoughts on America?
A third world country
in cheap make-up.
No different from here.
Yes.
But at least we have the balls
to admit what we are.
I have a fascination
with American television.
Like a car crash.
I can't help but watch.
The politics, the
sensationalism, the hate-filled
ceremonising.
Self-belief, Iva.
- I know this man.
- Too many people do.
He's what we call
in the industry a false prophet.
His popularity grows by the day.
And what's he got to do with me?
We're going to pay him a visit.
We are on the brink of necessary
change.
He has to be eliminated.
- Eliminated? - And you must be
the one to do it.
Why me?
Mankind likes to be an active
player in its own narrative.
We all have our roles to play.
But I'm not a killer.
You'll know when the time comes.
Trust in fate, Iva.
A bus will arrive
and take us across the border.
All we have to do
is climb aboard.
I had one of those days.
No smoke!
Did I ever tell you
about Cinderella?
So, Cinderella, she's crying
and her fairy godmother says,
"Why are you crying, Cinders?"
She said, "I'm crying, fairy
grandmother,
because I can't go to the ball."
And she said,
"Why can't you go to the ball?"
She said, "I have
no outfit to wear."
She said, "Don't be stupid,
I'm your fairy godmother!
Go to my closet and
get me my magic wand."
So Cinders goes to the closet,
she gets very good little wand.
The most beautiful
gown, glass slippers.
She looks fucking beautiful.
She said, "Go and have
the time of your life, my love."
But she said, "There's one issue
- you must be out of midnight."
So Cinders said, "Why have I
gotta be home for midnight?"
She said, Because if not
home at midnight, your snatch
"will turn into a pumpkin
and it's not too comfortable."
She said, "I'll be home, I'll be
home, just let me go to the
ball."
She said, "Go and have fun, but
midnight the snatch is a
pumpkin!"
Of she goes to the ball.
And who should she meet -
the most beautiful prince!
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
So they're dancing, the city
lights are fucking intoxicating.
And they get into a little
position and he says, "Hey,
what's your name?"
"My name's Cinderella,
who're you?"
He said, "I'm prince
Peter, the Pumpkin eater!
What time have you
gotta be home?"
And she said, "About
half past four."
No English.
Hi handsome.
Hello.
- What's your name?
- I'm prince Peter.
If he doesn't get the rest
of his money very soon,
I'm sure you can work out
what happens next.
What's wrong?
I need to sell my fucking belt.
You can't sell this, please.
They're going to
fucking kill me!
You can't sell the belt. Please!
But you don't understand.
I'm fucked.
This
fuckers will kill me.
I can't take your ring. It's OK.
Oliver was a good man.
He gave me hope.
He gave ne purpose.
Together, we gave birth to Iva.
The three of us could
take on the world.
This was my whole world.
I adore Oliver, but.
I don't need this ring
to remember Oliver.
No.
I must forget.
You and me, together.
You are my life
now. We live now!
Take my ring.
You sure?
OK.
It doesn't fucking fit!
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry.
Hang on! Let me do it.
- No, it's a fake.
- What?
- What are you talking about?
- It's a fake.
Iva, who's your friend?
I didn't get your name?
- I didn't give it.
- We thought you didn't exist.
You sly fox!
Keeping him all for yourself.
Wanna join us for a swim?
This is where I got to know Iva.
Perhaps this is where
you can get to know me?
What happened
to mum's hand?
- She's a clumsy cow.
- Fucking asshole!
- Is that how you spoke to your
father? - I didn't have to.
- Anton, I'm not fucking deaf.
- Hey, dude, what's up?
Katia and I are to wed.
I want her name on my hand.
Something classy, you know.
Iva!
Anton Lazarov. Book him in.
I need little money upfront.
Was that Iva?
Wow! All grown up.
See you next week.
Hey, hey, listen.
I have a young friend visiting
town. He could meet Iva.
I can put some real money
in your pocket, huh?
Think about it. All my
love to your wife and kids.
This is his favourite lunch spot.
He sits outside every time.
This is a brothel he
visits every Saturday.
There's a special rear
entrance for VIPs.
He's just some nut on TV.
I don't even know why
people listen to him.
Yeah, but they do. Iva.
He killed your father.
My father was ill.
He had a mental breakdown.
He was a good priest,
a good husband, a good man.
But he lost it all
when he met this man.
Before he found fame
peddling religious snake oil,
Beau was a priest
himself in London.
He did things that would send
most people deep, deep, deep
down below.
Even hell doesn't want his type.
I won't
sell my soul like you sold
yours.
When your father
discovered his sins, it shook
him.
How could God allow a man
like this to walk on Earth,
let alone wear a cassock?
I can't do
this anymore. I'm out!
But secrecy is the
essence of confession,
so your father bore the weight
of this knowledge alone.
You're
not a man of God.
Because when Maria was over
here, we were doing business.
She was sucking my cock
every fucking night.
It broke him.
Eventually he lost his faith
and stopped hearing the good.
And how would you know all this?
You know how I know.
That kid? What's
her fucking name?
But you're a liar.
By definition.
Iva, what about her?
- Say his name!
- What?
- How old is she now?
- - I've never told you it.
Are you sure she's yours?
Say his name!
But think about it.
Are you sure she's yours?
Oliver. His name was Oliver.
Come.
I want you to meet someone.
Let's all play this game.
- Hello.
- Hello you.
- What are you playing?
- Don't be Mad Man.
- And who's turn is it?
- It's my turn.
No surprise there.
Don't talk to him.
- Are you guys hungry?
- We're always hungry.
Okay.
Now close your eyes
and hold your hands like this.
I have a surprise.
Now open them.
Wow! Are you a magician?
- Perhaps.
- We need to go.
You should go.
Go! Stop, boy!
- He sees you.
- Leave me alone!
- He sees you!
- I said leave me alone!
He sees you! He sees
you! He sees you!
Good dog.
Oliver?
Why did you leave us? Why?
I miss you so much.
But I love this
motherfucker, Oliver!
He's the only one
who cares about us.
Didn't you think I deserve
something better, hm?
Oliver?
I don't know what I can do?
I have to make my choice now.
How I can do it for God's sake,
it's not easy.
Not easy Oliver, I love him!
You're sitting here. Why?
It's Victor's armchair, Oliver!
You
don't belong here.
Look
there. They're here for me.
And for you. For all of us.
The cosmic dance.
You perceive, now,
that these things are all
impossible except in a dream.
You perceive that they are
pure and puerile insanities,
the silly creations of an
imagination that is not
conscious of its freaks.
In a word, that they're a dream,
and you the maker of it.
The dream-marks are all present;
you should have recognized them
earlier.
He wants to see
you, you lucky girl.
Saint Michael, Saint
Michael was a very heavy
important dude.
Saint Michael the archangel
defend us in battle,
be our defense against the
wickedness and the snarls of the
devil.
All those people
who are suffering.
How can you do
that? That's evil.
That's what you did.
You put all the evil
motherfuckers here.
You're gonna pay for
all their suffering.
Is it hot in here?
Or is it just me?
Shut up!
How about I fucking kill you!
No, no, no.
How about this?
There. Eh, you like that?
OK, OK.
Just a bad dream, hm?
OK, OK, OK.
I was wondering
when we'd see you again.
He's having fun Luka, right?
Hey, Luka! What brought
you to Bulgaria?
I wanted to show
you something, Petra.
Oh my God. I love it.
It's for Luka. Just thought
you might like to see it.
- It's too big, anyways.
- That's my mum's wedding ring.
That piece of shit sold it.
Your mother's a pushover, Iva.
She shouldn't stand for it.
Peter, take a photo of us.
Smile!
- Hey! Who's the prick?
- Oh, he's Iva's new fancy man.
- It's not like that.
- Oh, really?
- So he's available? - No. He's
not fucking available.
Why does it matter?
You're with me!
Go fuck a tree trunk.
Luka, I asked
you a fucking question!
Alex, Daniel has a question.
I'm an open book, my son.
Ask away, but remember.
I'm only giving
you one question.
So, don't waste it now.
How did a dirty fucking British
mongrel like you
end up becoming the leader of
the biggest criminal
organization in Bulgaria?
The balls on you, my son.
You have some balls? Alex?
Yeah, I see the big balls.
Oh, big balls, captain.
- Gringo!
- Big balls!
Well, my young son.
Why don't we go for a little
stroll and I'll tell you all
about it.
The mountain has fallen down
Everyone knows. Just come
out already. It's so boring.
I'll tell you what's boring.
Taking 10,000 selfies a day and
sharing them to your 32
followers.
- Nobody gives a fuck.
- People look up to me.
Yeah, they have to look up.
They're children.
Just because you try and dress
like a God, it doesn't make you
one.
Don't talk to me like that.
Go fuck yourself, clown.
- Oh, yeah?
- OK, stop it.
- I am not afraid of you.
- Well, that's a relief.
Enough talk. You
wanna play a game?
Wow, wow...
- Are you insane?
- Stay away, Petra!
- Hm, come on, guys!
- Don't look at them.
Look at me! They're
no use to you now.
Stop it! Stop it!
Stay away, Petra!
- Forget it! -
You don't have to do this.
Please, please,
stop it! Stop it!
- Iva! Iva! Come on!
- What?
Come on!
I can count five out of six.
That's even the odds.
No, no, please, no!
Peter, help!
Do something!
Just do something.
Don't believe
everything you see.
It's a keepsake.
You look great today.
Reverend.
Reverend! Helen Kennedy
WBCT News. How are you?
How do you feel about the recent
accusations of embezzlement
directed at your church?
I really don't give a fuck
to tell you the truth.
You look mighty nice tonight.
Look at you all 'done-up'!
That's very kind of you.
How do you think your followers
feel about your lavish
lifestyle?
And using their donations
to keep everything here going?
- Darling, don't answer her.
- - No comment?
You're never far from
accusations of adultery?
- Care to get ahead of the
story? - We have no secrets!
Listen.
I've got some very explicit
photographs of you fucking your
boss.
On the tabletop, on the roof,
in the pool, in the jacuzzi.
So, if you want to play hardball
then, sweetheart, that's your
choice.
Cut the fucking tape!
Cut the fucking tape!
Now
listen, we need one more girl.
- Please, Anton, this is killing
me. - Oh, is it?
Now listen, you little whore!
You're not the only one
in the firing line here.
That delightful couple
that took you in?
My, my, my associates won't
think twice about coming after
them.
You understand?
- Just one more?
- She'll be the last.
- OK.
- I'll be in touch.
I can't take this anymore.
Just one more and we are out!
We're so close, Peter.
So, you are the mystery man?
She is very excited about you.
Have we met before?
I know you.
I don't think so.
It's not Victor's fault.
He's got a good heart.
She's my Iva.
Don't play with her, please.
- Who the fuck is he? Sit. -
Calm down. I am only tattooing
him.
Sit.
Sit the fuck down!
See you soon.
- Making friends in there?
- You know me.
There's somebody I
want you to meet.
If I could take
your hands, please.
You've lived quite
a life, young man.
You have a remarkable
future ahead.
You will see many places,
meet many people.
Get out, get out! Bogdan!
Bogdan! Bogdan! Bogdan!
And?
And we're invited
to the twins' birthday party.
I've seen the future, I saw it!
Of course you did, darling.
This is your special gift.
You don't understand, I actually
saw the future! I saw it!
- Come on, dear.
- I saw it!
I saw it!
I saw it! I saw it!
I saw it!
Oh, Bogdan, we are on the
brink of necessary change!
She's asleep.
- Iva is watching her. - Sorry,
I don't know what happened.
Elena thinks she see things.
And you don't think she does?
I don't believe in ghosts.
Not those kinds of ghosts.
Vodka, General?
I feel like we've met before.
What's bothering you?
Vodka...
Last time I drank vodka
was in Afghanistan.
Almost forty years ago.
And sometimes
bad things happen.
But from the darkest night
comes the brightest dawn.
And that happened when
you'd all toasted in victory?
Well, back to the
nightmare, my friend.
When I started,
I was 18.
I was a sniper.
The best kind.
I followed orders.
Men.
Women.
Children.
They were all Anti-Communists.
I lost count.
It's easier killing
at a distance.
The scope offers a levee
between your sins
and your soul.
You're free from accountability.
Every year
on my birthday.
I leave a reminder on my body,
I leave another scar on me,
on my body.
So that I never
forget what I did.
Elena, she can't comprehend.
The twins have no
idea who I was.
Call it my penance.
War is rich in its complexities.
If you hadn't followed orders,
you'd have been executed.
Which is the right choice?
Your
penance is paid, Bogdan.
Perhaps.
Hi.
What the fuck!
Iva, wait!
Keep your filthy hands off him!
Both of you.
Anton, I've got your name.
Good girl!
Iva is special.
It runs in the family.
You have an important
role to play.
Ah, you again.
Stay away from my wife, pig.
I know your game, Luka sent you.
We both know why I'm here.
Go to Hell!
Christ, give me a chance!
Hey, Anton?
Do you have a groomer?
New kid working for you, do you?
Skinny, arrogant little prick.
I see.
OK.
Oh, about we talked about the
other day. I just can't do that.
I just can't do it.
- What do you mean, it's in motion?
- - Iva would get a good price.
Let me explain something to you.
If anyone fucking touches her,
I will break
every bone in your fucking body!
What?
What?
Can't you just be
nice for one night?
Oh, mum, you look beautiful.
It's time.
Fuck me, Petra!
What's happened to you?
She fell down some stairs.
We'll be talking.
I fell down the stairs.
She'll be alright,
she is a grown girl.
Happy Birthday!
Petra, I'm...
Happy Birthday!
I'll deal with it.
- Didn't you tell him it's off?
- I said I'll deal with it.
So, where is the
food? I'm starving.
- Are you fucking blind?
- Come on. Come.
You fancy it, huh?
You're fancy it, little digger?
- Hey, Luka!
- Gringo, how you're doing, man?
Good to see you, babe.
You got a parcel for me?
Victor! Don't leave,
Victor, please.
There will be no talk of
business tonight, I promise.
Plus it's the twin's birthday.
We are here to celebrate, you
and I will have a little cup of
tea in the week.
Plus, you've gotta
try Alex's kavarma.
- Come on, let's sit.
- Hey, Luka!
- Happy to see you!
- How you doing?
How's tricks, girl?
You got some lev for me?
- Yeah. - Good girl!
You're feeling nice.
It's a no-go for
Iva. It's too risky.
The wheels are
already in motion.
Victor - he won't be happy about
it. I wouldn't mess with him.
He almost went through with it
himself. He had a change of
heart. No matter.
- We'll take care of him.
- Anton, please!
Hey, Anton!
This ends now. I'm
buying Petra out.
Take this money and
leave her alone!
Leave us alone!
We're gonna find us another way.
Thanks for the money, kid.
But like I told your
sister, it's too late.
But this will be the last!
Now disappear,
if you know what's good for you.
Fuck off!
Everybody take their
seats! Dinner is served!
Ah, the twins!
Where are the twins?
Coming soon.
You're like a fly on a
fucking shit, you know that?
Hi, everyone!
I know, don't worry.
Peter!
What's up, Victor? I need a few
more tips, 'cos my fucking time
is running out.
You better get back
to fucking work!
Well, you won't get
them, so fuck off!
Happy Birthday,
dear twins Happy birthday...
You look like a fucking whore;
like a fucking prostitute!
Happy
birthday dear twins.
My family, I would like to
propose a toast to Peter and
Petra.
Vodka for everyone!
No, captain.
Today I give you a day-off.
My loyal and trusted
consigliere, has refused to take
a drink with me.
Now, are we going to
allow that, people?
No!
The people have spoken, Big man.
And this is a democracy,
not like Bogdan's old days.
The old regime, sir.
Drink! Drink!
- Drink!
- Drink!
Lyubov to Alex,
lyubov to the twins,
and lyubov to vodka!
To vodka!
Ladies and gentlemen, I think
it's time that we collectively
make a prayer
that Peter gets his wish tonight
on his birthday to find a new
boyfriend.
- To noshing on a cock!
- What's wrong with you?
- Why on earth would you say
that? - Da-da-da.
- You shut your fucking mouth!
- Don't worry, Gringo!
Why are you laughing?
Why is she laughing?
Why does she pretend like she
knows what the fuck people are
saying, hm?
Ah, she's a phoney, that's what
it is. She's just a phoney
bitch!
Like your dirty filthy fucking
phoney preacher husband.
Don't talk to her like that!
And don't ever
mention my father!
You speak when you're fucking
spoken to, now sit back and
relax.
- Enjoy the evening.
- Victor.
This is Maria's ring.
Come on, Luka,
not here, not now.
There's an inscription inside:
To Maria all my love.
Oliver.
I can't accept this one.
I gave him the ring.
- I did it.
- Look, Luka. Luka, we...
She didn't know it was a fake.
Did you? We never knew it was a
fake.
We would never give
you a fake ring, would we?
You didn't know it was a fake,
right? You didn't fucking set me
up, did you?
- You, ah? You didn't...
- Ka-ka-ka.
Alex, tell him that's
enough on the matter now!
No more said Victor!
She fucking set me
up. Did she set me up?
- You fucking knew, didn't you?
- Tell him to shush now!
Shush now, Victor!
The lady has no wine.
Maria. Wine for the lady!
Where's your glass?
- One minute. She's getting a
glass. - Ay-ay-ay.
- You're OK?
- Yeah.
She fucking set me up.
Fuck, fuck!
Song for the twins,
a birthday song!
Is that you,
Oliver? Is that you?
Oliver, where are you?
What do you want, Oliver?
You not crossed over yet?
You can't cross over 'cos you're
trapped; 'cos you know you're
not pure.
And, God doesn't
like liars, Oliver!
Lied to your wife with the ring.
Lied to your daughter
when you said you loved her.
Then you left. Left
her with me, a drunk.
I'm an animal but
I'm a good man.
I'm a good man!
I take care of your family.
What do you want from me?
I take care of your barren,
ugly, spasticated wife,
who can't even speak to me.
I can't.
I take care of your daughter
and.. Oh, I'm gonna take care of
her proper.
A little bit different
to the way you think.
I'm gonna smash it.
Nobody appreciates a good man.
We need to have a talk.
Did you know it was a fake?
Of course you did.
What does it matter? But thanks
for breaking mum's heart.
I've got nothing
else to say to you.
Then you can listen!
You and mother, you're done!
She's going to rehab.
As long as you've got her using,
she'll never leave you.
My dad might have bought her a
fake ring, but his love for us
was real.
Do not go there. Don't
fucking go there.
You ungrateful little bitch!
Do you have any idea how close I
came to selling your fate
tonight?
Years I've put up with your
bullshit while your barren, drug
addict fucking mother
held a torch for your father,
never able to move on.
And all the while I see it,
I see him in your eyes.
I don't know who the fuck you
are or where the fuck you came
from.
But I hope you enjoyed
your time here.
Didn't see that in
your future, did ya?
Look at me!
You need to go!
A bus will arrive
and take us across the border.
All we have to do
is to climb aboard.
Hello ladies!
Thank you for joining us!
Reverend Beau is so excited to
meet you!
We're running five minutes
ahead of schedule.
You don't wanna be
late. This is running behind.
The devil's in details.
So it's true.
You are who you say you are.
All aboard to
the Wheels of Heaven.
Ouch!
Time to wake up!
- Call him, call him!
- Fine!
Beau, you've got a visitor.
Who are you?
Tell him its his daughter.
Well, welcome to
hotel Happiness .
