Messenger 666 (2025) Movie Script
1
There's gonna
come a time in our life
when we must all get together
because one of these days,
God is gonna call us
home someday and then...
-Hey, what's up?
-Morning, Angel.
It's a beautiful day today.
Yes it is.
Just sign there for us.
I hope to see you
at church on Sunday.
Oh, you know I will.
You take care of yourself.
I will, man, you too.
Be safe.
God bless you.
Thank you man, I appreciate it.
And listen,
there was a man.
Angel,
Angel, come in!
Yeah?
Angel,
where are you?
What's my 20?
Over.
What's
your location?
East 60 is good, buddy, over.
I got a pickup
on East 82nd Street at 3:30 PM.
Go over- That's
another 20 minutes.
Head on
over there, over and out.
Hey man, turn that shit off.
I'm tired of hearing
about that pandemic.
We know that people
are dealing with-
Pandemic, pandemic,
vaccines, oh my!
Pandemic, pandemic, vaccines.
Hey, can you guys
lower the volume
so I can actually
hear the phones?
And don't you have somewhere
to be at 4:30, Spider?
Let's go. Come on.
They're worried. They're scared.
And they want to be tested.
When
things were happening
in our community-
Alright, gotta roll.
Those
who are at higher risk
in our community.
Later, losers.
Hey Spider, it's gay marriage.
You know I'm a
multitasker, right?
They must've
called you Mr. Octopus.
Don't.
I didn't go to college to become
a bike messenger, Cricket.
Ouch.
What are you guys
still doing here?
Get out.
Alright, alright.
You know
how late it is?
Save money.
Highs on
Wednesday will be much cooler,
only reaching the mid sixties.
This cool and windy trend
continues through Friday.
Please use caution
and do not hurry.
Angelo.
Hey amigo. How's
it going, my man?
Hey man. How's it going?
I'm doing well. It's
been a long time.
I don't see you
biking these days.
Yeah, I met someone.
She lives in the city.
Ah, I see. Girl, huh?
I'm happy for you, man.
I told you, if you
waited she would come.
Truly.
I met her on the job.
Is she a bike messenger?
Oh no. Receptionist.
Oh okay. Okay.
Well anyways, take care, man.
-Be safe, man.
-See you around, man.
-All right, man.
-See you.
Hey, hey.
Now you're gonna
get chain grease
all over your packages, man.
Just use your gloves.
I don't have any gloves.
Here. I got an extra pair.
-Thanks, man.
-Yeah.
Hey, you know that girl you got?
The one works at Z Corp?
What's her name, Holly?
-Yeah.
-She's pretty cute.
Yeah, that's my girl, man.
Hey, thanks for the gloves.
Yeah, I got a friend who
works at Minnelli's Bikes.
I give him a lot of business,
so you can take a bunch
of these on the house.
Anyways, I gotta head.
Alright, I'll see you, man.
Hey!
Don't get 'em dirty.
Alright, man.
I'll see ya.
-See ya.
I'm Heidi Keitel
with Channel 12 News.
And I must say before we
get into this latest story,
I'm a big ever Everall user.
In fact, I take Everall
sometimes for my mood swings,
and I'm always happy when I do
and when I'm happy, my
husband's even happier.
But on the carton it says,
common side effects include
nausea, fatigue, malaise,
dry mouth, constipation, hives,
rash, rickets, ringworm.
The mayor will make
an official statement
addressing the
concerns surrounding
the escalating vehicular
violence in the tri-state.
More at 6:00.
Now, right through here.
And like I said,
the owner's willing to consider
giving you the first month free.
If you can find anything
to do with all this junk
that's down in the machine shop.
I mean, it's kind of a win-win
if you're gonna use
this as a warehouse.
Doesn't look too bad.
Looks good.
Yeah.
-Yeah?
-I like it.
Alright.
Right back out.
The winds will gust
30 to 50 miles an hour at
times out of the northwest.
There will be a
very low humidity,
so the fire danger is extreme.
I've asked you to stage eight
because what I
need to discuss is,
well, let's just
say I think it best
be handled by someone with
your sense of discretion.
I've been approached
by an advocate
from one of those
test trial groups
experiencing ongoing
side effects.
Unfortunate business, really.
If I think of anything
that'll fix it.
They want you to keep 'em happy,
at least until we come up
with an effective complementary
drug to even them out.
Believe me, we don't want
to pull it off the market.
Not with the numbers
we're seeing this year.
I don't know what to
do about it right now.
Just keep 'em happy or
they'll go to the press
and I don't think I need to
remind you whose signature
is all over those
R and D approvals.
Don't try to move him.
I, I just can't believe it.
It was the bus.
It was the goddamn
filthy city bus.
What is going on in this world?
Operator.
Yes, Holly, put
on Harold, please.
Anything else?
Adieu, thanks.
Jared, my boy.
I'm surprised to hear
from you so soon.
Yeah, yep.
Just taking a look at some
of the numbers on this thing,
and according to Ms. Varner,
there's over a thousand cases?
There are
numbers like this
all across the country.
If the Everall users in
the general public learned
that the test trial subjects-
This is more than just
the test trial, sir.
Still
suffering side effects
even after they
stopped taking it,
then Z Corp pharma is over.
I really think this
is out of the scope
of what I can do here.
We don't care what
you do it, Jakes.
Be glad and gracious about it.
You're only buying us time.
Have the receptionist give
you the contact information
of Ethan Weiss.
-Yep.
He's all yours
now. Keep him happy.
Hello and welcome
to this breaking news story.
An official response
was issued earlier-
Goddamn bus accident.
Disturbing series of unsolved-
-Bus accidents?
-Yeah.
Bad one.
I don't know, man, rider must
have got too close to the bus
or something and
just got wiped out.
Bus just mangled up
his legs and everything
and just, just kept on driving.
-We'll have more on this.
-Can't believe it.
I mean, somebody had
to see something.
Yeah. I mean I, I got
there a few minutes
after it happened and you know,
there was a crowd of people
and the ambulance was on the
way, but no sign of the bus.
It's like I'm telling
you guys, man,
escalating violence and escalating
apathy for us messengers.
From the governor's office
an official response-
We need to catch this dude, man.
Man, I'd like to catch that guy.
Earlier this week to the
disturbing series of-
Remember this guy
named Ryan Tuttle?
He was a short, stocky kid.
Conner used to call him
Turtle, he was so slow.
He got hit by a bus.
Got real mangled up the spine.
His leg, I mean he
was ripped up bad.
You know? See, you need to
be careful out there, man.
Take your time. Be real careful.
I mean, obviously this job
ain't for the brightest of wits.
How do you like
my new apartment?
It's cozy.
Can I get you a drink?
Yep.
Have you spoken with
Ethan Weiss yet?
Nope.
I am overworked.
I'm overtired.
I'm overstressed.
I'm overbooked and I'm over it.
Thank you.
I don't know what to do.
Well, you know, I have
found that most people
with the problem,
all they wanna do is
get back on the Everall.
-Really?
-Yeah.
And many of the people
that have the problem
with aggression,
they feel empowered
with the side effects.
They don't mind being itchy,
bitchy, and bad.
Hmm.
Her grades,
her teachers say wonderful
things about her.
Hey man, what you working on?
Hey man, look at these.
My new Barnetts. It's
pretty sweet, huh?
Yeah.
Little oomph on 'em, right?
Pop some pretty
cool wheelies too.
Damn.
Yeah. Not bad, huh?
Angelo Vitali,
look who came back.
Did your city girlfriend realize
she's dating a bike
messenger?
See you around, kid.
See you around.
Little son of a bitch don't
have any class whatsoever.
Sometimes I wonder if he
thinks he's being funny.
A bike rider was run over
and seriously injured
by a speeding city bus.
Witnesses say-
Anyway, man.
They know who it is.
They out there looking
for him right now.
Oh, looking for who?
Hit and run bus driver,
just like I said.
It's all over the news, man.
Look at the six o'clock news.
Look at the wipes.
Everything, man.
It's all out there on
the web, you'll see.
They gonna get his
ass too, I tell you.
Gordon
Denks, a city MTA bus driver,
is wanted for questioning
by the New York City Police
Department in connection
with a string of vehicular
homicides and attacks
relating to a mysterious
speeding New York City bus
spotted in various
parts of the city.
Warning, if you
see Gordon Denks,
please do not approach him.
Please call 911 and report
him to the authorities.
He is considered extremely
armed and dangerous.
Well, a Midtown psychic
was robbed and murdered
over the weekend
in a brutal attack.
Silviana Montesquieu was found
in her second floor
storefront by police
who responded to a neighbor
who called complaining of a
strange man lurking in the area
and a loud disturbance.
More on that story
on the news at 6:00.
Hi. Can I help you?
Yeah, I'm here from
Mercurial Messengers.
I'm here to pick up
a package from Holly.
Holly's not in the
office right now,
but I do know what
package she left for you.
Hold on, I'm gonna go get it.
Here you go.
-Thanks so much.
Have a good one.
-Alright, you too.
Bye now.
-Yeah, I know, right?
-Really.
Oh, this goddamn fucking nut.
Do you need help?
Nah, no, no. I'm good, I'm good.
Holly Pratt, good to see you.
-Hey.
-Is this a friend of yours?
Yeah.
Why don't you take me up
to Mr. Reeves's office?
Okay.
That's one way to get around.
I'll call you later.
Hello?
Hello, Mr. Weiss. Yes,
I got your message.
I was so sorry to hear
about your incident.
I think
a lot more of you
will be a lot sorrier
if some of my concerns
of my clients aren't
addressed right now.
Let me assure you, Mr. Weiss,
that here at ZZP Corporate,
there is no one who cares
more than Jared Jakes.
Now I think I might have
found a temporary solution.
Why don't you come into
the office on Thursday?
No, I'm not going
anywhere near that place.
I'll call you on Thursday.
We'll meet around the
corner or something.
Until then.
-Get outta the way, asshole!
-Hey, fuck you!
This is the
wrong way, you fuck face!
It
understands this time.
Wonderful.
-Where is it? Where is it?
-What?
Oh really?
Get away with that torch!
Any of you heard from Spider?
It's already passed 1:00 PM.
Cricket, I need you to
make a run to Sloan's.
It's X-rays or
something I don't know.
I haven't heard a
word from Spider.
Ah, I just gotta make
cheese, you know?
The usual, man.
It's four o'clock.
And guess who made my hit list?
Spider, if either
of you guys see him,
tell him not to come back.
Do you understand me?
Road, I need you to go
down to 1 Center Street.
Angel, you got one more in you?
Yeah, it's all the
way down to West 9th.
I'll send you guys the details.
I appreciate both of you.
Alright.
Hey, I'm here to
pick up the package.
Be
careful with that one.
Sometimes it's going to
take the worst kind of pain
to get you to change
the way I want you to.
Keeps falling one by one
Hey! Hey fuck you, man!
You almost killed me!
Hey, what the fuck, man?
You almost killed me.
You didn't see me back there?
What I saw was a fucking
dipshit land on his fucking ass.
You're lucky I didn't
fucking run you over.
You fucker.
-I stopped there, bro.
I'm gonna report you.
I'm gonna report you.
He's falling, he's falling
He's falling one by one
He's falling, he's falling
He's falling one by one
One by one
He's falling, he's falling
He's falling one by one
Thank you for calling Mercurial.
We sent out our last
package for today.
Hey Mercurial,
I think one of your
guys down on the street.
Yeah, he got hit real bad.
Hello and welcome
to this breaking news story.
He got run over
a truck or something.
-From the governor's office.
-What?
An official
response was issued earlier.
How bad is he?
- The disturbing series-
- Looks pretty bad.
I don't think he's
gonna make it.
Unsolved
vehicular homicides.
Where? Where? Where is he?
Looks like he's at
6th Avenue and 9th Street.
Describe
as a common pickup truck
used for all manner of
deliveries in the tri-state.
Angel!
We'll
have more on this-
Man down! Man down!
Angel is down on 6th and 9th!
I need someone to pick up
a package for delivery now!
-I'll go find it.
-Alright.
So, uh, there was an
accident last night.
Angel was injured.
What happened?
Looks like he got
hit by a truck.
No, how could this be happening?
Well, what's become
of this city?
Every damn week.
All right guys, just
because we're a man down
doesn't mean we
have to stay down.
Come on, get up, get up, get up.
Get up. Let's go guys.
I need you to be working.
I need you guys to go
to Brooklyn Bridge.
I have a couple packages picked
up at 4:00 and hey, Road,
I have two more jobs for you.
Crosstown, okay?
We can do this, alright?
Just be safe out there.
Let's go, let's
go, let's go guys.
Come on, let's go.
It's Angelo Vitali.
V-I-T-A-L-I.
28, 29. He's under 30.
Thanks anyway.
Did any John Does come in?
I'm not disagreeing with you.
I don't understand it either.
The passenger manifest
for the reliance EMwas clear that night.
You're saying that your
friend is supposed to be here
and I'm saying that he isn't.
There were no John
Does here that night.
Oh!
Holly, Holly, Holly.
Holly.
Holly! Holly!
Holly. Holly.
-Jakes.
-Mr. Weiss.
You are looking phenomenal.
How do you do it?
Cut the shit.
Is that my bag of money?
This is the power to keep
the monkey off your back
and to keep the lawyers at bay.
What are you talking about?
Everall to these guys.
Don't, the doctors aren't
gonna sign off of it.
ZDP is finding a
complementary drug
to keep the side effects at bay.
It's a temporary solution.
This is what I have.
-So no money?
-No.
That's what you're
talking about?
Is that it?
Alright.
Look at me.
Look at me.
I'm living out of a car,
so I don't care who
you have to talk to.
Get me money or I'm going
to talk to the press myself.
Why you smiling like a
jackass for all the time?
Ah, when shit goes wrong,
I just love to double
down on the fun.
Later, Weiss.
Hey Ethan.
You know, I'm a man that
needs his medication.
Well, as they say,
I'm off my meds.
-Gordon.
-You got something for me?
You know, Gordon,
I'm taking a real big
risk seeing you in public.
I'm doing a disservice
to myself by doing this.
The cops are everywhere
looking for you.
So,
I did get something for you.
I got something from
you from Z Corp.
Not any money yet, but just
something to hold you over.
Those scumbags at Z Corp.
They're dragging my balls
through the nut sack
just to get any money from them.
But I'm working
on it. I'm on it.
Oh!
Oh yes!
I got my pills.
I got my pills!
Oh, Gordon. Gordon
is a very happy man.
Now take it easy.
I don't know if we're going,
I don't know if we're
gonna get any more,
so just make 'em last.
Thanks for the
update, Mr. Weiss.
I really appreciate it.
Now you know I'm a man
that's outta my wit,
so please forgive me.
But you know what I really need.
Give me a piece of
that money action.
That mucho dinero
or someone else is gonna
end up on my shit list.
You know what I mean.
For the hospitality
and service that millions-
Oh, look at
that cute little smile!
That cute little smile.
Oh, you look good
on YouTube, Jared,
but wait 'til I see
you in real life!
Passersby stood agog
yesterday in midtown Manhattan
as they witnessed a spree
of deadly vehicular attacks
that left a crew of
construction workers
with non-life
threatening injuries,
and one woman cab rider
almost in two pieces.
Hello, welcome to
Mercurial Messengers.
Here's your messenger ID.
You're messenger 665.
Yes, Mariposa Gonzalez.
Messenger 665.
-Hi.
-Peeps call me Speedy G,
but when I get out
there, I burns it.
You're gonna
have to prove that to us.
And Road, stop
hitting on her please.
Next.
Welcome to Mercurial Messengers.
Here's your messenger ID.
You're Messenger 666.
Messenger 666.
The Antichrist.
Tragedy struck again
in the city yesterday
when a delivery truck ran
into a bicycle messenger
in midtown Manhattan.
24-year-old Rory Webb of
Brooklyn was killed instantly
when struck by a delivery truck.
A hit and run.
-Spider?
Authorities are on the
lookout for a white 2005 Ram
pickup truck and its
driver.
Tragedy struck again
in the city yesterday
when a delivery truck
into a bicycle messenger.
Man down. Man down.
Spider's down. Spider's down.
Authorities
are on the lookout
for a 2005 Ram pickup
truck and its driver.
I lost my brother
a few years back.
It'll be okay.
Get it out your
system and move on.
What the?
Hey man, nobody's
supposed to be in here.
Oh, shh!
-Road.
-What the fuck?
Oh.
What the fuck are you?
What the fuck are you?
-Cedric.
-Oh.
I can't fucking believe it.
There's only one other person
that knows about this
place that I know.
Angel? Angel Vitali?
What the fuck happened, man?
You're fucking
lost. Look at you.
I heard about the accident.
I went to the hospital where
you were supposed to be,
but nobody was there.
Nobody knew anything, man.
What the fuck happened?
Goddamn. You alright, man?
You alright?
Yeah, I'm alright.
Yeah, I'm alright.
-It's really you?
-No, I'm good. Yeah.
-God.
-Cedric.
-What the fuck?
-Good to see you, brother.
It's good to see you.
Good to see you too, man.
Shit is scary, dude.
Yeah, it's...
Cedric.
Yeah.
It's good
to see you, Cedric.
Good to see you too, Mandrake.
Miss Holly Prime.
You all right?
No, I'm fine.
I've just been, um,
been thinking.
Hey we, we don't
have to do this.
Right now, I totally get it.
I don't wanna make
you uncomfortable.
Everybody comes with baggage.
We're not strangers.
I just wanna get going
before the rain starts.
Where are we going?
Someplace fun.
Jakes, I got something for ya!
-Ah!
-Shit!
And there's more to come.
Shit!
I had enough
of living in my car.
I'm tired of being pushed
around by everybody.
Yeah.
Who the fuck are you?
I'm here
to make a citizen's arrest.
The bullet missed her
heart by three inches.
Any closer and she
wouldn't be here right now.
She needs rest.
She'll be back to
normal in a few days.
She's a strong gal.
Take care of her.
I will.
I'm just glad she's okay.
Is she your wife or girlfriend?
She's my wife.
Remember this,
guys, look at this!
Whoa!
Hey look, Conrad got skills too.
Hey man, can I
talk to you for a second?
Yeah.
Hey man, you know the
name of that voodoo place
that Angel picked up last
week before the accident?
Uh, I think the
company's name was like,
Encanto's or something.
But here's the weird thing.
They changed their address
a couple weeks ago.
So I don't know where
Angel ended up going to.
It's weird. Why do you ask?
There's no reason, man.
Just curious is all.
Just wanted to know.
Well look, we still
have a couple gigs left.
I think two more
jobs. You got it?
Got it. We're cool.
Alright, let's go.
Hey Rod. Here's the
second time for the shop.
Yeah, man. Long
time no see, huh?
Hey, Pops. What's going on, bro?
-Hey.
-That's cool.
What you been up to, man?
You feel all right?
Not too well, man.
You know, what happened to
Angel and stuff like that.
Yeah, man.
I'm still a little shook up over
that thing with
Angel and Spider too.
Getting along.
Making it day to day.
Yeah, you know what's crazy
when he got hit, right?
They sent me to get his package.
I took some pictures
of his body, man.
Like he's all mangled
and shit like that, man.
Look, I took it right here.
This is him.
What's that?
He had some weird
voodoo package on him.
That was it.
What do you mean package?
Where'd you deliver it to?
They told me they delivered
to like, the West Side,
some African marketplace
or something like that.
Get the hell outta here, man.
Conrad got me going to some
weird voodoo place too, man.
This afternoon. This
address look familiar?
Yeah, it was
something like that.
I think that might be it.
Oh shit, man. Damn.
What picture's
that? What you got?
You know, that's
another picture of
Angel when he
carrying some stuff.
Send me that picture,
man. Send me that picture.
Alright?
-No problem.
Wait, send me all
of those pictures.
No problem. I'll
send 'em right now.
Alright.
Hello, I have a package to pick
up for Mercurial Messengers.
By the way,
do you have anybody here that
knows anything about this?
Oh, the African
stuff? The voodoo stuff?
Yeah, the guy he just left.
Hey man, look, I was told
you're the only person
that can help me out with this.
What is this shit?
What the hell is
this thing, man?
Look, all I know is this.
This voodoo shit turned my
friend into a monster, man.
He's big. He's huge.
He's running around scaring
people, all type of shit, man.
He looks like a fucking zombie.
What kind of monster?
I don't know what
kind of monster he is.
He looks like a
zombie, man. He's huge.
His eyes are bugged out.
He looks like a skeleton.
He's all just, just
bigger than everything.
I mean, come on man.
I don't know if
he's dead or alive.
I really don't know.
All I know is that he had
this on him when he left.
What is it? You
gotta help me out.
Give me your number.
I'll give you a call.
You gonna call me back?
Sure.
Please, I need your help.
-Will do.
-Alright, thank you.
Oh, look
at that cute little smile.
That cute little smile.
Oh, you look good
on YouTube, Jared.
But wait until I see
you in real life!
With
plenty of activities
and programs to choose from.
How are you holding up?
Under the circumstances,
I can't say I'm
satisfied or thrilled.
I've been shot at and
lied to the police.
Told 'em I didn't
know who shot at me.
They're going to find
out sooner or later.
I don't know what I'd tell them.
Calm down.
You haven't seen the news?
What news?
Weiss is on the lose.
He almost killed me.
He's still out there.
Weiss is dead.
What?
Did you hear me? Weiss is dead.
The police found him earlier.
He was sawed in
half or something.
They think he was murdered
by some serial
killer or something.
What?
Yeah, he's dead.
He's not gonna say
anything to anybody.
If there's a
murder investigation,
they'll find out everything.
I'm leaving town.
I'm taking Holly with me until
this whole thing blows over.
And another thing,
she's pregnant.
You didn't waste any time.
It's not mine. Maybe.
I don't think so.
Probably that goofy
bike messenger boyfriend
that ran out on her.
Did she tell you that?
No, the doctor told me
while they were running
some blood tests.
She's two months in.
What are you gonna do?
I was hoping
you could do something.
Come up with a
pill or something.
I think she's great,
but it's way too soon.
What the fuck are
you looking at?
You tell me.
What the fuck?
It's, it's you.
I'm here
to make a citizen's arrest!
Hey, where's than new
guy Messenger 666?
I called him. He doesn't
answer his phone.
Hey man, I don't
know where he is,
but I know where he wants to be.
I have three more
runs to do, man.
Come here. Be patient, man.
Let's give him some
time. He's good.
-Take care of it.
-Alright.
Angel, you still here, man?
I'm here.
I got this guy I think
could help you out, man.
He really knows all
this voodoo shit.
He's gonna help you out.
Meet Dr. Samed.
This. Oh, this guy.
Yeah, right here.
Who are these guys?
These are your friends, Angel.
-Nice to meet you.
-I'm messing with you, man.
We love you, man.
We want to help you, man.
-You want to help me?
-Yeah.
Dr. Samedi knows all
that voodoo shit, man.
-This is the doctor?
-That's the doctor, bro.
Hello, Doc.
Good evening.
You gonna help me?
Yes.
Okay.
Well, you gotta come in
if you're gonna help me.
Come on, Doc.
Doctor's gonna help me.
Cedric, Cedric, Cedric.
-Yeah, man.
-It's really him.
No, seriously. It's really him.
The demon of Papa Legba.
It's entered into your friend.
I can see it.
It's him. It is
really the demon.
The ancient Papa Legba.
It's entered into your friend.
I see a woman and a child.
The vision is a warning.
It's a warning too late.
The old lady was
shot the other day
and she's in the hospital.
The kid thing? That's news, man.
You know, bad timing
but it worked.
Congratulations.
Oh, oh.
She's been shot?
Who would wanna do such a thing?
It's the trucker
I'm wondering about.
I think that you will
need some of this.
Purple Tonic, it
will soothe your soul
clean up your throat and
help with the remedy.
Can't go see him in
a state like this
because the police
looking for everyone.
And if the ancient spirit
of Papa Legba leave you,
he will discover you the
same way he found you.
One by one
Holly,
Holly, Holly, Holly!
But what can you do?
Or what has he not already done?
It's the mugwort.
He's out cold.
One by one
He's calling, he's
calling, he's calling
One by one
He's calling, he's
calling, he's calling
One by one
Now after 30 passages
and around the circle
we shall chant and sing.
Repeat after me.
We should get out of here.
JJ,
There's a cop here.
My assistant has her waiting.
A cop? Oh my Lord.
Peru sounds better now.
Even if they accused
the company of poisoning people?
-What's Harold doing?
-Harold wasn't on the panel.
Who approved the Everall?
I only approved it
on his insistence.
Unofficially.
There's no paper trail.
-What about Holly?
-Leave her to me.
I've already taken care-No, no.
I mean what about Holly and I?
The whole pregnancy situation.
Look, I can't, I can't fly
the coop and come back here.
Wait, to a pregnancy scare.
That's just not,
to a paternity test
or any other surprise or-Yeah.
I thought you said
you could do something.
I can't give her
the pills in the hospital,
but maybe you can.
Okay.
I'm going
to give you two pills.
Okay.
You can give
them to her right away.
She won't know what hit her
and it will just
dissolve the pregnancy.
I've, I've heard about it.
I have heard about it.
Hello?
Hey Conrad.
Hey Conrad, just
calling to check.
Everything all right over there?
The new Dominican chick?
She's torching you guys.
Torching you. She did
three runs in 45 minutes.
No breaks, no excuses.
See you tomorrow then.
Alright, you don't need me?
Alright, good.
Okay. I'll see you later.
Bye-bye.
Good
afternoon, Detective.
I've been waiting
here for an hour.
Mr. Reeves,
head of ZCP New York,
is in Malaysia meeting
with suppliers.
I've been covering
Mr. Reeves' desk
and now this shooting has me
fielding all manner of calls.
I need to talk to you.
Mr. Jakes assured
me that he cooperated fully.
When did you talk
to Jared Jakes?
Earlier on the phone.
I'm here to talk
about Ethan Weiss.
I'm not entirely certain
I know who that is.
A certain man had
appointments here.
I'll do my best
to find out about him.
Why don't you leave me
your card, Detective?
Give me a few days. I'm
sure I can find something.
Ethan Weiss is dead.
We found a gun used
to shoot your employee
Holly Regina Prime nearby.
We know that he had appointments
here with Mr. Reeves.
We know that she is a direct
employee of Mr. Reeves.
We know that Mr. Weiss
made phone calls to your
coworker, Jared Jakes.
We're also aware of-
Everything you're talking about
is business that
goes on downstairs.
I work upstairs on
the R and D floor.
I don't have much
contact with clienteles,
distributors, or marketing.
I already told you
that I'm overextended.
The problems here are not just
more work for you, Detective.
What about Jared Jakes?
What do you know about him?
Um, well,
he worked for research
and development.
We're all glad he wasn't
harmed in the shooting.
Do you know if he
had any enemies
or any armed
competitors here as ECP?
Like I said earlier, JJ,
uh, Mr. Jakes, told the police
everything last night.
-As long as he always knows
who his real enemies are.
I'm sure I don't know.
Okay, Mrs. Bonnie,
that's all the questioning
I'm gonna do today.
The bullet went
right through her.
Despite everything,
she's really lucky.
Let's just, let's
just get her home.
Okay? Let's just
get her outta here.
She's gonna be all right.
Okay honey.
I'll start grabbing her things
and I'll meet you in the lobby.
Get outta my body!
Leave me!
Leave me!
So some bicycle messenger
stuck this class action lawsuit
against Z Corp on my windshield.
I don't think it was filed
because there's no index number,
but whoever wanted
us to see this,
you see how they
highlighted some names
and some key words there?
Yeah.
Ethan Weiss, holy crap.
Gordon Denks, that
name sounds familiar.
-The bus driver guy.
-Right, right.
According to this,
they were part
of this lawsuit against
Z Corp initiating a claim
stating that that over
the counter drug Everall
is indeed producing extremely
harmful side effects
that can render users
incapacitated and intoxicated
and rendered into a
trance-like state,
which can cause permanent injury
and in some
instances even death.
Not only to the user,
but to any innocent person in
close proximity to the user.
I bet there's a whole lot
more going on up at Z Corps
than we'll ever figure out.
This whole thing is
starting to smell to me.
My oldest nephew's been hooked
on that Everall
stuff for months now.
And he's been getting in
trouble at school too.
He's been aggressive,
fighting, throwing tantrums.
This might be bigger news
than what we're
thinking, you know?
I think so.
I think it's time to
call in the feds on this.
Mm-hmm.
Jared?
Hi.
Sorry, Dad, I...
Uh, Mr. Prime, it's Jared Jakes.
I promise you'll
never have to worry
about your daughter again.
Listen, Dad, I'll call you back.
Hey.
Where did you go?
It's a long story.
We'll be down again. Okay?
Drink some coffee. I'll
tell you everything.
I'll tell you what
you want to know.
I really don't feel
like a coffee right now.
Okay, okay. How about a drink?
Jared.
Listen, you can't leave
without saying goodbye
to your friends.
Ms. Arnold set something
up, call to your parents.
Jared, I've been shot.
Not shot at. Shot.
And on top of that I'm pregnant.
Do you know what that means?
A little bit.
Listen, I just think the
best thing for me right now
is to go home with my
parents and clear my head.
Sort some things out.
I need to think.
My brain isn't such
a fog right now.
Holly, please. Talk to me.
Alright.
It's here. It's here.
Why do you have a gun?
Shh, get behind me.
What's going on?
Shh!
What kind of trouble are you in?
I'm not going anywhere with you
until you tell me
what's going on.
Shh!
Get out of here, Holly! Go!
I'm
getting you too, Jared.
You know what I've been up to?
You wanna figure it out?
Run.
Police! Police!
Police! Police!
Police! Police!
There have been
several sightings
of the mysterious dark figure
from all over the city.
More at noon.
Hello?
Oh, Mr. Dooley.
No, no need to worry.
Your package will be on
time and on schedule.
I guarantee it.
Alright. Okay, I'll see ya.
Conrad, got a double for you.
Harlem all the way
down to Wall Street.
I hope you brought
your rain jacket.
It's meant to thunder later.
Yeah, just gimme
a second, Angel.
Just gimme a second.
Looks like the new
dispatcher ain't too bad.
Guess he got
promotion and a raise.
Hey, he's gonna need it
to feed that family
and that new baby.
I wonder what happened
to old Conrad?
He got demoted.
He's one of us now.
There's gonna
come a time in our life
when we must all get together
because one of these days,
God is gonna call us
home someday and then...
-Hey, what's up?
-Morning, Angel.
It's a beautiful day today.
Yes it is.
Just sign there for us.
I hope to see you
at church on Sunday.
Oh, you know I will.
You take care of yourself.
I will, man, you too.
Be safe.
God bless you.
Thank you man, I appreciate it.
And listen,
there was a man.
Angel,
Angel, come in!
Yeah?
Angel,
where are you?
What's my 20?
Over.
What's
your location?
East 60 is good, buddy, over.
I got a pickup
on East 82nd Street at 3:30 PM.
Go over- That's
another 20 minutes.
Head on
over there, over and out.
Hey man, turn that shit off.
I'm tired of hearing
about that pandemic.
We know that people
are dealing with-
Pandemic, pandemic,
vaccines, oh my!
Pandemic, pandemic, vaccines.
Hey, can you guys
lower the volume
so I can actually
hear the phones?
And don't you have somewhere
to be at 4:30, Spider?
Let's go. Come on.
They're worried. They're scared.
And they want to be tested.
When
things were happening
in our community-
Alright, gotta roll.
Those
who are at higher risk
in our community.
Later, losers.
Hey Spider, it's gay marriage.
You know I'm a
multitasker, right?
They must've
called you Mr. Octopus.
Don't.
I didn't go to college to become
a bike messenger, Cricket.
Ouch.
What are you guys
still doing here?
Get out.
Alright, alright.
You know
how late it is?
Save money.
Highs on
Wednesday will be much cooler,
only reaching the mid sixties.
This cool and windy trend
continues through Friday.
Please use caution
and do not hurry.
Angelo.
Hey amigo. How's
it going, my man?
Hey man. How's it going?
I'm doing well. It's
been a long time.
I don't see you
biking these days.
Yeah, I met someone.
She lives in the city.
Ah, I see. Girl, huh?
I'm happy for you, man.
I told you, if you
waited she would come.
Truly.
I met her on the job.
Is she a bike messenger?
Oh no. Receptionist.
Oh okay. Okay.
Well anyways, take care, man.
-Be safe, man.
-See you around, man.
-All right, man.
-See you.
Hey, hey.
Now you're gonna
get chain grease
all over your packages, man.
Just use your gloves.
I don't have any gloves.
Here. I got an extra pair.
-Thanks, man.
-Yeah.
Hey, you know that girl you got?
The one works at Z Corp?
What's her name, Holly?
-Yeah.
-She's pretty cute.
Yeah, that's my girl, man.
Hey, thanks for the gloves.
Yeah, I got a friend who
works at Minnelli's Bikes.
I give him a lot of business,
so you can take a bunch
of these on the house.
Anyways, I gotta head.
Alright, I'll see you, man.
Hey!
Don't get 'em dirty.
Alright, man.
I'll see ya.
-See ya.
I'm Heidi Keitel
with Channel 12 News.
And I must say before we
get into this latest story,
I'm a big ever Everall user.
In fact, I take Everall
sometimes for my mood swings,
and I'm always happy when I do
and when I'm happy, my
husband's even happier.
But on the carton it says,
common side effects include
nausea, fatigue, malaise,
dry mouth, constipation, hives,
rash, rickets, ringworm.
The mayor will make
an official statement
addressing the
concerns surrounding
the escalating vehicular
violence in the tri-state.
More at 6:00.
Now, right through here.
And like I said,
the owner's willing to consider
giving you the first month free.
If you can find anything
to do with all this junk
that's down in the machine shop.
I mean, it's kind of a win-win
if you're gonna use
this as a warehouse.
Doesn't look too bad.
Looks good.
Yeah.
-Yeah?
-I like it.
Alright.
Right back out.
The winds will gust
30 to 50 miles an hour at
times out of the northwest.
There will be a
very low humidity,
so the fire danger is extreme.
I've asked you to stage eight
because what I
need to discuss is,
well, let's just
say I think it best
be handled by someone with
your sense of discretion.
I've been approached
by an advocate
from one of those
test trial groups
experiencing ongoing
side effects.
Unfortunate business, really.
If I think of anything
that'll fix it.
They want you to keep 'em happy,
at least until we come up
with an effective complementary
drug to even them out.
Believe me, we don't want
to pull it off the market.
Not with the numbers
we're seeing this year.
I don't know what to
do about it right now.
Just keep 'em happy or
they'll go to the press
and I don't think I need to
remind you whose signature
is all over those
R and D approvals.
Don't try to move him.
I, I just can't believe it.
It was the bus.
It was the goddamn
filthy city bus.
What is going on in this world?
Operator.
Yes, Holly, put
on Harold, please.
Anything else?
Adieu, thanks.
Jared, my boy.
I'm surprised to hear
from you so soon.
Yeah, yep.
Just taking a look at some
of the numbers on this thing,
and according to Ms. Varner,
there's over a thousand cases?
There are
numbers like this
all across the country.
If the Everall users in
the general public learned
that the test trial subjects-
This is more than just
the test trial, sir.
Still
suffering side effects
even after they
stopped taking it,
then Z Corp pharma is over.
I really think this
is out of the scope
of what I can do here.
We don't care what
you do it, Jakes.
Be glad and gracious about it.
You're only buying us time.
Have the receptionist give
you the contact information
of Ethan Weiss.
-Yep.
He's all yours
now. Keep him happy.
Hello and welcome
to this breaking news story.
An official response
was issued earlier-
Goddamn bus accident.
Disturbing series of unsolved-
-Bus accidents?
-Yeah.
Bad one.
I don't know, man, rider must
have got too close to the bus
or something and
just got wiped out.
Bus just mangled up
his legs and everything
and just, just kept on driving.
-We'll have more on this.
-Can't believe it.
I mean, somebody had
to see something.
Yeah. I mean I, I got
there a few minutes
after it happened and you know,
there was a crowd of people
and the ambulance was on the
way, but no sign of the bus.
It's like I'm telling
you guys, man,
escalating violence and escalating
apathy for us messengers.
From the governor's office
an official response-
We need to catch this dude, man.
Man, I'd like to catch that guy.
Earlier this week to the
disturbing series of-
Remember this guy
named Ryan Tuttle?
He was a short, stocky kid.
Conner used to call him
Turtle, he was so slow.
He got hit by a bus.
Got real mangled up the spine.
His leg, I mean he
was ripped up bad.
You know? See, you need to
be careful out there, man.
Take your time. Be real careful.
I mean, obviously this job
ain't for the brightest of wits.
How do you like
my new apartment?
It's cozy.
Can I get you a drink?
Yep.
Have you spoken with
Ethan Weiss yet?
Nope.
I am overworked.
I'm overtired.
I'm overstressed.
I'm overbooked and I'm over it.
Thank you.
I don't know what to do.
Well, you know, I have
found that most people
with the problem,
all they wanna do is
get back on the Everall.
-Really?
-Yeah.
And many of the people
that have the problem
with aggression,
they feel empowered
with the side effects.
They don't mind being itchy,
bitchy, and bad.
Hmm.
Her grades,
her teachers say wonderful
things about her.
Hey man, what you working on?
Hey man, look at these.
My new Barnetts. It's
pretty sweet, huh?
Yeah.
Little oomph on 'em, right?
Pop some pretty
cool wheelies too.
Damn.
Yeah. Not bad, huh?
Angelo Vitali,
look who came back.
Did your city girlfriend realize
she's dating a bike
messenger?
See you around, kid.
See you around.
Little son of a bitch don't
have any class whatsoever.
Sometimes I wonder if he
thinks he's being funny.
A bike rider was run over
and seriously injured
by a speeding city bus.
Witnesses say-
Anyway, man.
They know who it is.
They out there looking
for him right now.
Oh, looking for who?
Hit and run bus driver,
just like I said.
It's all over the news, man.
Look at the six o'clock news.
Look at the wipes.
Everything, man.
It's all out there on
the web, you'll see.
They gonna get his
ass too, I tell you.
Gordon
Denks, a city MTA bus driver,
is wanted for questioning
by the New York City Police
Department in connection
with a string of vehicular
homicides and attacks
relating to a mysterious
speeding New York City bus
spotted in various
parts of the city.
Warning, if you
see Gordon Denks,
please do not approach him.
Please call 911 and report
him to the authorities.
He is considered extremely
armed and dangerous.
Well, a Midtown psychic
was robbed and murdered
over the weekend
in a brutal attack.
Silviana Montesquieu was found
in her second floor
storefront by police
who responded to a neighbor
who called complaining of a
strange man lurking in the area
and a loud disturbance.
More on that story
on the news at 6:00.
Hi. Can I help you?
Yeah, I'm here from
Mercurial Messengers.
I'm here to pick up
a package from Holly.
Holly's not in the
office right now,
but I do know what
package she left for you.
Hold on, I'm gonna go get it.
Here you go.
-Thanks so much.
Have a good one.
-Alright, you too.
Bye now.
-Yeah, I know, right?
-Really.
Oh, this goddamn fucking nut.
Do you need help?
Nah, no, no. I'm good, I'm good.
Holly Pratt, good to see you.
-Hey.
-Is this a friend of yours?
Yeah.
Why don't you take me up
to Mr. Reeves's office?
Okay.
That's one way to get around.
I'll call you later.
Hello?
Hello, Mr. Weiss. Yes,
I got your message.
I was so sorry to hear
about your incident.
I think
a lot more of you
will be a lot sorrier
if some of my concerns
of my clients aren't
addressed right now.
Let me assure you, Mr. Weiss,
that here at ZZP Corporate,
there is no one who cares
more than Jared Jakes.
Now I think I might have
found a temporary solution.
Why don't you come into
the office on Thursday?
No, I'm not going
anywhere near that place.
I'll call you on Thursday.
We'll meet around the
corner or something.
Until then.
-Get outta the way, asshole!
-Hey, fuck you!
This is the
wrong way, you fuck face!
It
understands this time.
Wonderful.
-Where is it? Where is it?
-What?
Oh really?
Get away with that torch!
Any of you heard from Spider?
It's already passed 1:00 PM.
Cricket, I need you to
make a run to Sloan's.
It's X-rays or
something I don't know.
I haven't heard a
word from Spider.
Ah, I just gotta make
cheese, you know?
The usual, man.
It's four o'clock.
And guess who made my hit list?
Spider, if either
of you guys see him,
tell him not to come back.
Do you understand me?
Road, I need you to go
down to 1 Center Street.
Angel, you got one more in you?
Yeah, it's all the
way down to West 9th.
I'll send you guys the details.
I appreciate both of you.
Alright.
Hey, I'm here to
pick up the package.
Be
careful with that one.
Sometimes it's going to
take the worst kind of pain
to get you to change
the way I want you to.
Keeps falling one by one
Hey! Hey fuck you, man!
You almost killed me!
Hey, what the fuck, man?
You almost killed me.
You didn't see me back there?
What I saw was a fucking
dipshit land on his fucking ass.
You're lucky I didn't
fucking run you over.
You fucker.
-I stopped there, bro.
I'm gonna report you.
I'm gonna report you.
He's falling, he's falling
He's falling one by one
He's falling, he's falling
He's falling one by one
One by one
He's falling, he's falling
He's falling one by one
Thank you for calling Mercurial.
We sent out our last
package for today.
Hey Mercurial,
I think one of your
guys down on the street.
Yeah, he got hit real bad.
Hello and welcome
to this breaking news story.
He got run over
a truck or something.
-From the governor's office.
-What?
An official
response was issued earlier.
How bad is he?
- The disturbing series-
- Looks pretty bad.
I don't think he's
gonna make it.
Unsolved
vehicular homicides.
Where? Where? Where is he?
Looks like he's at
6th Avenue and 9th Street.
Describe
as a common pickup truck
used for all manner of
deliveries in the tri-state.
Angel!
We'll
have more on this-
Man down! Man down!
Angel is down on 6th and 9th!
I need someone to pick up
a package for delivery now!
-I'll go find it.
-Alright.
So, uh, there was an
accident last night.
Angel was injured.
What happened?
Looks like he got
hit by a truck.
No, how could this be happening?
Well, what's become
of this city?
Every damn week.
All right guys, just
because we're a man down
doesn't mean we
have to stay down.
Come on, get up, get up, get up.
Get up. Let's go guys.
I need you to be working.
I need you guys to go
to Brooklyn Bridge.
I have a couple packages picked
up at 4:00 and hey, Road,
I have two more jobs for you.
Crosstown, okay?
We can do this, alright?
Just be safe out there.
Let's go, let's
go, let's go guys.
Come on, let's go.
It's Angelo Vitali.
V-I-T-A-L-I.
28, 29. He's under 30.
Thanks anyway.
Did any John Does come in?
I'm not disagreeing with you.
I don't understand it either.
The passenger manifest
for the reliance EMwas clear that night.
You're saying that your
friend is supposed to be here
and I'm saying that he isn't.
There were no John
Does here that night.
Oh!
Holly, Holly, Holly.
Holly.
Holly! Holly!
Holly. Holly.
-Jakes.
-Mr. Weiss.
You are looking phenomenal.
How do you do it?
Cut the shit.
Is that my bag of money?
This is the power to keep
the monkey off your back
and to keep the lawyers at bay.
What are you talking about?
Everall to these guys.
Don't, the doctors aren't
gonna sign off of it.
ZDP is finding a
complementary drug
to keep the side effects at bay.
It's a temporary solution.
This is what I have.
-So no money?
-No.
That's what you're
talking about?
Is that it?
Alright.
Look at me.
Look at me.
I'm living out of a car,
so I don't care who
you have to talk to.
Get me money or I'm going
to talk to the press myself.
Why you smiling like a
jackass for all the time?
Ah, when shit goes wrong,
I just love to double
down on the fun.
Later, Weiss.
Hey Ethan.
You know, I'm a man that
needs his medication.
Well, as they say,
I'm off my meds.
-Gordon.
-You got something for me?
You know, Gordon,
I'm taking a real big
risk seeing you in public.
I'm doing a disservice
to myself by doing this.
The cops are everywhere
looking for you.
So,
I did get something for you.
I got something from
you from Z Corp.
Not any money yet, but just
something to hold you over.
Those scumbags at Z Corp.
They're dragging my balls
through the nut sack
just to get any money from them.
But I'm working
on it. I'm on it.
Oh!
Oh yes!
I got my pills.
I got my pills!
Oh, Gordon. Gordon
is a very happy man.
Now take it easy.
I don't know if we're going,
I don't know if we're
gonna get any more,
so just make 'em last.
Thanks for the
update, Mr. Weiss.
I really appreciate it.
Now you know I'm a man
that's outta my wit,
so please forgive me.
But you know what I really need.
Give me a piece of
that money action.
That mucho dinero
or someone else is gonna
end up on my shit list.
You know what I mean.
For the hospitality
and service that millions-
Oh, look at
that cute little smile!
That cute little smile.
Oh, you look good
on YouTube, Jared,
but wait 'til I see
you in real life!
Passersby stood agog
yesterday in midtown Manhattan
as they witnessed a spree
of deadly vehicular attacks
that left a crew of
construction workers
with non-life
threatening injuries,
and one woman cab rider
almost in two pieces.

Tragedy struck again
in the city yesterday
when a delivery truck ran
into a bicycle messenger
in midtown Manhattan.
24-year-old Rory Webb of
Brooklyn was killed instantly
when struck by a delivery truck.
A hit and run.
-Spider?
Authorities are on the
lookout for a white 2005 Ram
pickup truck and its
driver.
Tragedy struck again

Man down. Man down.
Spider's down. Spider's down.
Authorities
are on the lookout
for a 2005 Ram pickup
truck and its driver.
I lost my brother
a few years back.
It'll be okay.
Get it out your
system and move on.
What the?
Hey man, nobody's
supposed to be in here.
Oh, shh!
-Road.
-What the fuck?
Oh.
What the fuck are you?
What the fuck are you?
-Cedric.
-Oh.
I can't fucking believe it.
There's only one other person
that knows about this
place that I know.
Angel? Angel Vitali?
What the fuck happened, man?
You're fucking
lost. Look at you.
I heard about the accident.
I went to the hospital where
you were supposed to be,
but nobody was there.
Nobody knew anything, man.
What the fuck happened?
Goddamn. You alright, man?
You alright?
Yeah, I'm alright.
Yeah, I'm alright.
-It's really you?
-No, I'm good. Yeah.
-God.
-Cedric.
-What the fuck?
-Good to see you, brother.
It's good to see you.
Good to see you too, man.
Shit is scary, dude.
Yeah, it's...
Cedric.
Yeah.
It's good
to see you, Cedric.
Good to see you too, Mandrake.
Miss Holly Prime.
You all right?
No, I'm fine.
I've just been, um,
been thinking.
Hey we, we don't
have to do this.
Right now, I totally get it.
I don't wanna make
you uncomfortable.
Everybody comes with baggage.
We're not strangers.
I just wanna get going
before the rain starts.
Where are we going?
Someplace fun.
Jakes, I got something for ya!
-Ah!
-Shit!
And there's more to come.
Shit!
I had enough
of living in my car.
I'm tired of being pushed
around by everybody.
Yeah.
Who the fuck are you?
I'm here
to make a citizen's arrest.
The bullet missed her
heart by three inches.
Any closer and she
wouldn't be here right now.
She needs rest.
She'll be back to
normal in a few days.
She's a strong gal.
Take care of her.
I will.
I'm just glad she's okay.
Is she your wife or girlfriend?
She's my wife.
Remember this,
guys, look at this!
Whoa!
Hey look, Conrad got skills too.
Hey man, can I
talk to you for a second?
Yeah.
Hey man, you know the
name of that voodoo place
that Angel picked up last
week before the accident?
Uh, I think the
company's name was like,
Encanto's or something.
But here's the weird thing.
They changed their address
a couple weeks ago.
So I don't know where
Angel ended up going to.
It's weird. Why do you ask?
There's no reason, man.
Just curious is all.
Just wanted to know.
Well look, we still
have a couple gigs left.
I think two more
jobs. You got it?
Got it. We're cool.
Alright, let's go.
Hey Rod. Here's the
second time for the shop.
Yeah, man. Long
time no see, huh?
Hey, Pops. What's going on, bro?
-Hey.
-That's cool.
What you been up to, man?
You feel all right?
Not too well, man.
You know, what happened to
Angel and stuff like that.
Yeah, man.
I'm still a little shook up over
that thing with
Angel and Spider too.
Getting along.
Making it day to day.
Yeah, you know what's crazy
when he got hit, right?
They sent me to get his package.
I took some pictures
of his body, man.
Like he's all mangled
and shit like that, man.
Look, I took it right here.
This is him.
What's that?
He had some weird
voodoo package on him.
That was it.
What do you mean package?
Where'd you deliver it to?
They told me they delivered
to like, the West Side,
some African marketplace
or something like that.
Get the hell outta here, man.
Conrad got me going to some
weird voodoo place too, man.
This afternoon. This
address look familiar?
Yeah, it was
something like that.
I think that might be it.
Oh shit, man. Damn.
What picture's
that? What you got?
You know, that's
another picture of
Angel when he
carrying some stuff.
Send me that picture,
man. Send me that picture.
Alright?
-No problem.
Wait, send me all
of those pictures.
No problem. I'll
send 'em right now.
Alright.
Hello, I have a package to pick
up for Mercurial Messengers.
By the way,
do you have anybody here that
knows anything about this?
Oh, the African
stuff? The voodoo stuff?
Yeah, the guy he just left.
Hey man, look, I was told
you're the only person
that can help me out with this.
What is this shit?
What the hell is
this thing, man?
Look, all I know is this.
This voodoo shit turned my
friend into a monster, man.
He's big. He's huge.
He's running around scaring
people, all type of shit, man.
He looks like a fucking zombie.
What kind of monster?
I don't know what
kind of monster he is.
He looks like a
zombie, man. He's huge.
His eyes are bugged out.
He looks like a skeleton.
He's all just, just
bigger than everything.
I mean, come on man.
I don't know if
he's dead or alive.
I really don't know.
All I know is that he had
this on him when he left.
What is it? You
gotta help me out.
Give me your number.
I'll give you a call.
You gonna call me back?
Sure.
Please, I need your help.
-Will do.
-Alright, thank you.
Oh, look
at that cute little smile.
That cute little smile.
Oh, you look good
on YouTube, Jared.
But wait until I see
you in real life!
With
plenty of activities
and programs to choose from.
How are you holding up?
Under the circumstances,
I can't say I'm
satisfied or thrilled.
I've been shot at and
lied to the police.
Told 'em I didn't
know who shot at me.
They're going to find
out sooner or later.
I don't know what I'd tell them.
Calm down.
You haven't seen the news?
What news?
Weiss is on the lose.
He almost killed me.
He's still out there.
Weiss is dead.
What?
Did you hear me? Weiss is dead.
The police found him earlier.
He was sawed in
half or something.
They think he was murdered
by some serial
killer or something.
What?
Yeah, he's dead.
He's not gonna say
anything to anybody.
If there's a
murder investigation,
they'll find out everything.
I'm leaving town.
I'm taking Holly with me until
this whole thing blows over.
And another thing,
she's pregnant.
You didn't waste any time.
It's not mine. Maybe.
I don't think so.
Probably that goofy
bike messenger boyfriend
that ran out on her.
Did she tell you that?
No, the doctor told me
while they were running
some blood tests.
She's two months in.
What are you gonna do?
I was hoping
you could do something.
Come up with a
pill or something.
I think she's great,
but it's way too soon.
What the fuck are
you looking at?
You tell me.
What the fuck?
It's, it's you.
I'm here
to make a citizen's arrest!
Hey, where's than new
guy Messenger 666?
I called him. He doesn't
answer his phone.
Hey man, I don't
know where he is,
but I know where he wants to be.
I have three more
runs to do, man.
Come here. Be patient, man.
Let's give him some
time. He's good.
-Take care of it.
-Alright.
Angel, you still here, man?
I'm here.
I got this guy I think
could help you out, man.
He really knows all
this voodoo shit.
He's gonna help you out.
Meet Dr. Samed.
This. Oh, this guy.
Yeah, right here.
Who are these guys?
These are your friends, Angel.
-Nice to meet you.
-I'm messing with you, man.
We love you, man.
We want to help you, man.
-You want to help me?
-Yeah.
Dr. Samedi knows all
that voodoo shit, man.
-This is the doctor?
-That's the doctor, bro.
Hello, Doc.
Good evening.
You gonna help me?
Yes.
Okay.
Well, you gotta come in
if you're gonna help me.
Come on, Doc.
Doctor's gonna help me.
Cedric, Cedric, Cedric.
-Yeah, man.
-It's really him.
No, seriously. It's really him.
The demon of Papa Legba.
It's entered into your friend.
I can see it.
It's him. It is
really the demon.
The ancient Papa Legba.
It's entered into your friend.
I see a woman and a child.
The vision is a warning.
It's a warning too late.
The old lady was
shot the other day
and she's in the hospital.
The kid thing? That's news, man.
You know, bad timing
but it worked.
Congratulations.
Oh, oh.
She's been shot?
Who would wanna do such a thing?
It's the trucker
I'm wondering about.
I think that you will
need some of this.
Purple Tonic, it
will soothe your soul
clean up your throat and
help with the remedy.
Can't go see him in
a state like this
because the police
looking for everyone.
And if the ancient spirit
of Papa Legba leave you,
he will discover you the
same way he found you.
One by one
Holly,
Holly, Holly, Holly!
But what can you do?
Or what has he not already done?
It's the mugwort.
He's out cold.
One by one
He's calling, he's
calling, he's calling
One by one
He's calling, he's
calling, he's calling
One by one
Now after 30 passages
and around the circle
we shall chant and sing.
Repeat after me.
We should get out of here.
JJ,
There's a cop here.
My assistant has her waiting.
A cop? Oh my Lord.
Peru sounds better now.
Even if they accused
the company of poisoning people?
-What's Harold doing?
-Harold wasn't on the panel.
Who approved the Everall?
I only approved it
on his insistence.
Unofficially.
There's no paper trail.
-What about Holly?
-Leave her to me.
I've already taken care-No, no.
I mean what about Holly and I?
The whole pregnancy situation.
Look, I can't, I can't fly
the coop and come back here.
Wait, to a pregnancy scare.
That's just not,
to a paternity test
or any other surprise or-Yeah.
I thought you said
you could do something.
I can't give her
the pills in the hospital,
but maybe you can.
Okay.
I'm going
to give you two pills.
Okay.
You can give
them to her right away.
She won't know what hit her
and it will just
dissolve the pregnancy.
I've, I've heard about it.
I have heard about it.
Hello?
Hey Conrad.
Hey Conrad, just
calling to check.
Everything all right over there?
The new Dominican chick?
She's torching you guys.
Torching you. She did
three runs in 45 minutes.
No breaks, no excuses.
See you tomorrow then.
Alright, you don't need me?
Alright, good.
Okay. I'll see you later.
Bye-bye.
Good
afternoon, Detective.
I've been waiting
here for an hour.
Mr. Reeves,
head of ZCP New York,
is in Malaysia meeting
with suppliers.
I've been covering
Mr. Reeves' desk
and now this shooting has me
fielding all manner of calls.
I need to talk to you.
Mr. Jakes assured
me that he cooperated fully.
When did you talk
to Jared Jakes?
Earlier on the phone.
I'm here to talk
about Ethan Weiss.
I'm not entirely certain
I know who that is.
A certain man had
appointments here.
I'll do my best
to find out about him.
Why don't you leave me
your card, Detective?
Give me a few days. I'm
sure I can find something.
Ethan Weiss is dead.
We found a gun used
to shoot your employee
Holly Regina Prime nearby.
We know that he had appointments
here with Mr. Reeves.
We know that she is a direct
employee of Mr. Reeves.
We know that Mr. Weiss
made phone calls to your
coworker, Jared Jakes.
We're also aware of-
Everything you're talking about
is business that
goes on downstairs.
I work upstairs on
the R and D floor.
I don't have much
contact with clienteles,
distributors, or marketing.
I already told you
that I'm overextended.
The problems here are not just
more work for you, Detective.
What about Jared Jakes?
What do you know about him?
Um, well,
he worked for research
and development.
We're all glad he wasn't
harmed in the shooting.
Do you know if he
had any enemies
or any armed
competitors here as ECP?
Like I said earlier, JJ,
uh, Mr. Jakes, told the police
everything last night.
-As long as he always knows
who his real enemies are.
I'm sure I don't know.
Okay, Mrs. Bonnie,
that's all the questioning
I'm gonna do today.
The bullet went
right through her.
Despite everything,
she's really lucky.
Let's just, let's
just get her home.
Okay? Let's just
get her outta here.
She's gonna be all right.
Okay honey.
I'll start grabbing her things
and I'll meet you in the lobby.
Get outta my body!
Leave me!
Leave me!
So some bicycle messenger
stuck this class action lawsuit
against Z Corp on my windshield.
I don't think it was filed
because there's no index number,
but whoever wanted
us to see this,
you see how they
highlighted some names
and some key words there?
Yeah.
Ethan Weiss, holy crap.
Gordon Denks, that
name sounds familiar.
-The bus driver guy.
-Right, right.
According to this,
they were part
of this lawsuit against
Z Corp initiating a claim
stating that that over
the counter drug Everall
is indeed producing extremely
harmful side effects
that can render users
incapacitated and intoxicated
and rendered into a
trance-like state,
which can cause permanent injury
and in some
instances even death.
Not only to the user,
but to any innocent person in
close proximity to the user.
I bet there's a whole lot
more going on up at Z Corps
than we'll ever figure out.
This whole thing is
starting to smell to me.
My oldest nephew's been hooked
on that Everall
stuff for months now.
And he's been getting in
trouble at school too.
He's been aggressive,
fighting, throwing tantrums.
This might be bigger news
than what we're
thinking, you know?
I think so.
I think it's time to
call in the feds on this.
Mm-hmm.
Jared?
Hi.
Sorry, Dad, I...
Uh, Mr. Prime, it's Jared Jakes.
I promise you'll
never have to worry
about your daughter again.
Listen, Dad, I'll call you back.
Hey.
Where did you go?
It's a long story.
We'll be down again. Okay?
Drink some coffee. I'll
tell you everything.
I'll tell you what
you want to know.
I really don't feel
like a coffee right now.
Okay, okay. How about a drink?
Jared.
Listen, you can't leave
without saying goodbye
to your friends.
Ms. Arnold set something
up, call to your parents.
Jared, I've been shot.
Not shot at. Shot.
And on top of that I'm pregnant.
Do you know what that means?
A little bit.
Listen, I just think the
best thing for me right now
is to go home with my
parents and clear my head.
Sort some things out.
I need to think.
My brain isn't such
a fog right now.
Holly, please. Talk to me.
Alright.
It's here. It's here.
Why do you have a gun?
Shh, get behind me.
What's going on?
Shh!
What kind of trouble are you in?
I'm not going anywhere with you
until you tell me
what's going on.
Shh!
Get out of here, Holly! Go!
I'm
getting you too, Jared.
You know what I've been up to?
You wanna figure it out?
Run.
Police! Police!
Police! Police!
Police! Police!
There have been
several sightings
of the mysterious dark figure
from all over the city.
More at noon.
Hello?
Oh, Mr. Dooley.
No, no need to worry.
Your package will be on
time and on schedule.
I guarantee it.
Alright. Okay, I'll see ya.
Conrad, got a double for you.
Harlem all the way
down to Wall Street.
I hope you brought
your rain jacket.
It's meant to thunder later.
Yeah, just gimme
a second, Angel.
Just gimme a second.
Looks like the new
dispatcher ain't too bad.
Guess he got
promotion and a raise.
Hey, he's gonna need it
to feed that family
and that new baby.
I wonder what happened
to old Conrad?
He got demoted.
He's one of us now.
