May i help?

i did not know it was that delicious.
Hey!
Missy!
Good luck!
No more bets, please. Les jeux sont faits.
Everybody is born with a certain amount of luck.
Some spend their luck on cards.
Some spend it at the wheel.
one out of 36 chances
For the lucky
or the brave or the foolish
one out of 36 did i say?
actually no, one out of 37.
Most people like to forget
that the odds are stacked against them.
I cant forget
because that little green zero
the house edge.
that is what pays my salary.
Zero!
yes!
As i said
Everyone gets a certain amount of luck.
Some priviledged away on the gaming tables.
Me?
I save my luck for when i need it.
My boss, Henri Louche...
Doesnt mind when a customer gets lucky.
Thanks.
But that gentleman, he went beyond that.
He got greedy.
So his luck needed to change.
Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen.
place your bets please.
La partie continue.
What's your name pretty lady?
My name is modesty, sir.
pretty Modesty, this one is for you.
Give me luck.
thank you sir.
No more bets please.
Les jeux sont faits.
sixteen red.
My lady, please.
Cash me out.
Place your bets, gentlemen.
I want my cash, please.
So you're leaving?
All right.
Once more.
Place your new bets, please.
Monsieur Louche taught me how to plan for moments like this.
he tought me
when you a trick a customer
he must never knows it.
if he never wins, knows the win is croocked.
So he places a series of small bets.
- He wins.
- He wins.
but he doubles up
triples up, after a big loss.
then we have him
no more bets, please. Les jeux sont faits.
that's when you take him to the cleaners.
anyone is allowed to be lucky.
Your job is to make sure they dont get too lucky.
Place your new bets, please.
everything is ready?
si, Monsieur Louche.
i have the information that the merchandise
will be waiting for us.
and a deal about the price?
yes, yes. everything should be smooth.
unless of course
we have any unexpeced high cash outs.
tonight, senor.
Modesty Blaise
is taking care of it.
no more bets please. Les jeux sont faits.
13 black.
i am so sorry sir.
i didnt mean to be your unlucky charm.
these things happen.
good luck to you
pretty Modesty.
these things happen
when greed clouds your judgement.
Monsieur Louche taught me that.
place your bets please.
La partie continue.
it would have been nice this particular night
if he had followed his own advice.
Let's go.
what the hell?
where are we?
who are you working for?
whatever you're getting, i'll pay you double.
do you think this is about money?
triple.
Name the price.
Close up for me, yes.
So early, Rafa?
I put in a whole day.
must conserve my energy.
For Estrella? you're gonna kill yourself.
but, i'll die happy.
Go on. go.
This night i'll finish for you.
Tell Stassi
three cases of gin, six vodka.
Two rum, four whisky.
I can always trust you to be on top of things.
- Big day tomorrow.
- Don't talk to me about tomorrow.
I dont wanna know.
There are better ways to make money.
i do what Monsieur Louche says.
He Calls me, i come.
Doesnt it ever bother you
when you have the Blaise game.
you can do as you please.
but this is the Louche game.
Very true.
fine, go ahead. go.
we dont wanna keep you in this suit waiting, do we?
I'll make this up to you,
I promise.
Could you get the hell out of here, please?
- Good night.
- good night.
The money is in the vault.
Everything is scheduled for tommorow.
So how did we do tonight?
Respectable.
Did Monsieur Louche said anything to you?
it could happen to anybody.
He just got lucky.
eleven reds in a row.
you saw it.
I tried to see how he was cheating.
he wasnt. Forget about it.
if you hadn't step in
Let it go.
Yes.
It could happen to anybody
And Monsieur Louche knows that.
Did almavar put his tellies ? i didn't see him do it.
I'll look.
hey, Irina, how did you make out?
I only got two orders round.
No, i meant how did you do with your tips?
Fine.
The men don't seem to like me.
what are you doing?
stop covering yourself up like a nun.
Danielle takes on 10 times more
i cant do what Danielle does .
It is like magic the way men throw money at her.
magic, the only magic is that the men who come to Club Louche
want to get happy, down here
Everytime a pretty girl enters their field of vision.
and if the pretty girl pays them some attention
i know.
it makes them feel alive.
and the more men feels alive
the more inclined they are to spend lots of money.
Now who do you want them to spend their money on?
Danielle or you?
me.
Good. there's hope for you yet.
See? Stassi should know better .
Forget about it. that's just danielles way.
one day she'll die
the doctors will cut open her chest
And find a cash register.
So you can smile.
Take that smile out to the floor tommorow night, and see if it makes a difference.
Get down!
Everybody on the floor!
All clear.
Good evening everybody.
So, who's in charge?
I am in charge.
You okay?
Now the vault
I need you to open the vault.
i cant.
you cant or you wont?
Tell the man what he needs to know.
It's a good advice.
you wanna be a hero?
or you want a big reward?
I dont know the combination.
i swear.
you wouldnt lie to me, right?
I swear.
Don't worry. it's okay.
whoever has the combination stand up now.
i give you 15 seconds before the next person dies.
Starting
now.
three seconds.
the new olympic record.
so you got the combination?
No, he had it.
he? Who is he?
the man you just killed.
but he said he didnt.
what did you expect?
he was just doing his job.
Protecting the money.
who else can open the vault?
Noone, except Monsieur Louche himself.
Monsieur Louche.
Of course.
why didnt i think of Monsieur Louche?
Oh yeah.
i killed him already.
How did he die?
He tried to fight back
you know he was outmatched as are you.
Begging.
Then the two men that can open the vault are dead.
There has to be someone else.
Besides, the combination changes every 24 hours.
Change? how does it change?
Monsieur Louches computer.
Get to the computer.
Find the combination.
i cant. Havent got the password.
This doesnt really improve your situation.
I am telling you everything i know.
I need to stop you from killing another person for no reason.
You think i am blood thirsty?
You think i like to kill?
I think you love it.
Maybe you're right.
You're not afraid of me.
I am terrified.
No.
She's terrified.
If i let you into the vault, will you let them go?
of course.
why are you asking?
The man you need is Rafael Garcia.
Unless you already killed him too.
You said noone else knows the combination.
No,but he knows the password to get the combination.
Where is he?
He left early.
he had a date.
guys, upstairs.
where are you going?
what?
if you're thinking of blasting your way in there
you should know you'd kill yourself
and all of us
and most likely bring down the whole building.
Monsieur Louche has the vault booby trapped.
The walls, doors, floor and ceilings
all wired to explode
if someone tried to stunt it.
Destroy all his cash, all his records?
No, i do not think so.
Monsieur Louche isnt a fool enough
to keep his records there.
As for the money, it's in switzerland.
the cash here is pocket change.
So you can tell your men, to put their toys away.
Monsieur Louche has focused your boss, and he knows it.
Anything else you like to add?
No? you sure?
You think i dont know about the money needed for the buy tommorow?
Money that needs to be here, not in Switzerland.
Now move it. Upstairs.
just a minute. the keys.
to monsieur louches office.
I realise it's more fun to kick the door down, but
Clean this mess up.
- Irina, we're all gonna die.
- Shut up!
First they rape us, then they kill us.
Modesty is trying to save us, cant you see?
Shut up!
come on!
The vault
where is the vault?
blow it.
the money would do you no good when you're dead.
let me prove it to you.
his plans are in the desk drawer.
easy now.
you know how to read a schematic?
i do.
each device is wired to all the others.
you trip one, they all go off.
these are the circuits.
that represents the wall over there.
traps here, here, here and here.
think of each one is a landmine.
you trip it and they'll find your foot in the harbour tomorrow.
Or your head.
Miklos, this doesnt look good.
Call your Garcia.
get him here now.
His girl lives up the coast, a long way from here.
Now!
Mi amor.
Hola. who is this?
Louche wants you to come up.
Monsieur Louche wants me to come by?
Louche said that he was coming to check on it personnaly.
yes, i understand. of course.
Can't you do it?
Not tonight.
No, no, no. i am twelve miles from nowhere.
Our investors from Stockholm will arrive in 3 hours.
You're asking me to drive all the way back to Tanger, why?
If you're not here when he arrives
I don't see how i can do it.
Come the usual way. you can make it.
I'll do my best to get there by 6:00.
You do better than your best.
so
do you think in the end
we are better gonna know?
I think
that i know you as well as i want to know you.
Stop wasting my time!
I am sorry, baby.
Don't tell me Monsieur Louche wants you.
Louche is dead.
- How?
- i don't know.
- Who did it?
- she couldn't say.
She? who is she?
Modesty.
who is Modesty?
she had a gun to her head.
i have to go..
if you call the police
You say nothing to the police.
go to Taza, to your family.
Who is Modesty?
Hey!
how about this?
on account of your big mouth, I kill him.
that will be three, and Ishua here will be four
are you trying to set a record?
Garcia should be on his way.
he can open the vault.
Oh god.
he should be here by 6:00.
looks like we have a bit of a wait.
why don't you make yourselves more comfortable. Come.
I want you away from here.
why you think i am organising a rebellion? like this?
you are a very tricky lady.
thank you.
How old are you?
sixty five.
i had a bit of work done.
i don't know when i was born.
You don't know when you were born?
No.
Parents forgot to tell you when is your birthday?
I never had a birthday.
I never knew my parents.
You're an orphan.
I believe we're more alike than you think.
I doubt that.
- let's play a game.
- a game?
this is a casino, isn't it?
- we're closed.
- we just re-opened.
We have time to pass until this Garcia arrives.
What do you have in mind?
why dont we play Roulette.
If you know how to.
- All right.
- All right.
Sir, i must ask you to holster your gun.
What?
Roulette's a gentelmens game.
it's against house rules to shoot the wheel
If you don't like where the ball lands.
Your men have control of the room.
Now, give me 100 chips.
Certainly, sir.
Your money, please?
my money?
You want to play roulette, you have to bet with real money.
you really are crazy, are you?
the people who walks through that door .
are prepared to risk something precious to them.
their next rent payment,
the future of their business
Their lovers esteem.
It just looks like money when they lay it on the table.
What they risk, tells something about who they are.
Whether they are truly brave
or just pretending to be brave.
You pay me when i win?
Of course.
but you will pay me with the casinos money.
All the money in this casino is mine.
Courtesy of your dead
Monsieur Louche.
No, i do not want to bet my own money to be paid by my own money.
then you must find something else to risk.
yeah, well what do you suggest?
them.
if you lose, they go free
they go free, they run to the police.
they run to your Garcia.
No.
If you're left free, you don't go to anyone.
If you do, everyone still here will die.
and dont think you'll be safe either
Because Miklos here, will hunt you
down and kill you, if you go to the police
Am i correct?
You're very correct.
all right. we play.
we play for their release,
one hostage at a time.
what are you playing for?
you dont want money.
I want you.
we've been this already.
Not the way you think.
if i strip you naked,
you wouldn't care.
I want you to give me something
I think you've never given to another man.
- what is that?
- the truth.
I ask you a question, you change the subject.
Your name, your age,
where you come from
there's not that much to tell .
I was an orphan.
i think that you telling me who you really are
is the same as that girl taking her clothes off.
but if i win
You tell me the truth about anything i ask.
and i mean the truth,
no matter how embarassing.
I don't embarasse.
that's why they call you Modesty.
Am i right?
Yeah, that's right?
Ten chips a piece.
Bet however you want
whoever have the most chips left after... 3 spins?
3 spins wins the round.
I win one round and you tell me a secret.
you win two rounds in a row, one of your friends go free.
You win one, but i have to win two?
Two in a row.
that puts the odds always in your favour.
Oh well, it's only fair.
your stories could be boring.
Fine.
we play. place your bets.
No, no, no.
no funny business.
No magnetic wheels, weighted balls.
You spin the wheel, then i place my bet.
I dont know about these things.
4 black.
29 black.
33 black.
well, well, well.
where do we begin?
why do you go by the name, "Modesty"?
that's a long story.
you start from the begining.
what do you want from me?
i want the truth.
you want to free your friends or not?
where were you born?
somewhere in the Balcanes, i think.
Where?
i dont know.
there was a war going on at the time.
there's always a war going on the Balcanes.
so they put you in an orphanage?
well, if they did,
i seem to have runaway.
at some point i wound up in a refugee camp .
- Attention!
- sir!
Leave him alone!
Police Police!
are you allright?
thank you
Hurry up!
come on
hurry!
Get out of the way!
Where, where where?
This way!
Turn here!
we had no papers.
that was the goverments game.
When refugees crossed the border
The army took away their identity papers.
Of course then they said to us
that you cant leave the camp without the papers.
so you needed baksheesh.
To bribe the guards yes.
but i didnt have any money
and Lob certainly didn't.
That's the old man?
yes.
- No. No.
- what's wrong?
Out of fuel.
screwdriver, pliers,
in case.
Flashlight.
and i found these.
We need every match to make fires.
The cold is crazy in the mountains at night.
I can make fire without matches.
besides, cigarettes are bad for you.
so you dont want this then?
this we keep.
it gets lighter as we go.
I tought you were sick.
i am out of my cage.
A Foolish
Going out with an old man you know nothing about.
he could have been anything
a criminal--
And you have deep moral objections
to association with criminals, is that it?
No, but you were just a little girl.
i was never a little girl.
My joining forces with Lob.
was easily the best decision i ever made in my life.
- put these on.
- why?
just put it on. little miss Modesty.
Please.
From that day on he called me Modesty.
so what's in your bag?
what did those thieves want?
Money.
thieves always wanted money.
but you have no money.
They didnt know that
Gold? jewels?
more precious than that.
Can i see?
they nearly killed you.
these aren't worth dying for.
i dont expect you to understand.
we'll talk about it in the morning
thirteen black.
So what happened next?
That was three spins. i won.
What? No, i cant only two.
Keep talking.
Honour your bet.
It was three.
who asked you? shut up!
I won. do i get to collect?
well you choose. quickly.
Ishua, you have to give me one more.
No, we had a deal.
you win, one of your friends go free. One!
You changed the rules when you shot Ishua.
What rules
if he doesnt go to a hospital, he's not gonna make it.
Ok. you get one in advance.
the next win you already had your prize.
Fine. that's fair.
Irina, this is too rough of a world for you.
go back to where you came from and dont look back.
You're wrong about me.
Choose someone else.
you can take Ishua to the hospital with you.
Believe me, take the exit while it is an offer.
Olivette Can do it.
Fine. have it your way.
Olivette?
I'll take Ishua straight to the hospital.
If you say one word about this to anyone out there we will all be killed, do you understand that?
- Oui, Modesty.
- Go.
Ten chips.
So. where were we?
wandering through Turkey.
- the professor and I
- Professor?
Lob was once a history professor in Zaghreb.
until, unfortunatly
he commited a major crime against the state.
- what was his crime?
- telling the truth.
he was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
he escaped by killing two of the guards.
of course then, he was wanted for murder as well.
he did what he had to do.
anyway, this one day
I was sneaking my way through one of his precious books.
the drawings seems to be telling a story
but i couldnt make out what the story was.
you know?
there are words that go with those pictures.
would you like me to teach you to read?
why?
it would be my way of paying you back
for saving my life.
if you want to pay me back,
i'll take gold.
who is this?
that is Merlin
the greatest wizard to ever lived.
he was king arthurs teacher.
why would a king need a teacher?
eveyone needs a teacher.
someday you will have many things to teach to someone else.
Merlin tought Arthur how to be
one of the greatest kings who ever lived
tought him poerty , war.
and about justice.
i know everything i need to know.
now it is my turn to ask you questions.
what did Louche do to you
to cause you to do something like this?
None of your business.
Our lives are in your hands
doesnt it make it my business
your dear Monsieur Louche...
Sold my father defective rifles in an arms deal.
i tought you said you were an orphan?
how do you think i became one?
if those rifles have done what they were supposed to do
my father and 6 of his top lieutenants would have been alive today.
instead i had to bury my father.
I was eleven, and i had to bury him.
and you've been waiting all this time for your revenge ?
No, I've waited until i knew that i couldnt have failed.
See? i have not failed.
Louche is dead.
now i ask the questions here.
so this is where you left the proffesor.
No. he began to teach me.
that's how he made his living.
travelling from village to village
teaching the children to read.
but to me, the words on the page
might as well been hierogliphics.
i felt stupid because i couldnt crack the code.
but he wouldnt give up
And gradually, the words began to make sense.
he had wandered from india to Morroco for nearly 30 years.
He knew 7 languages
he understood, history, science and poetry.
and this man who knew everything
told me i was special.
Noone had ever told me that before.
i didnt tell you to stop.
so your proffesor tought you. Go on.
there isnt so much to tell .
I grew up. Lob was like a father to me.
he tought me , he sculpted me.
he sculpted you.
i would have liked to see that.
where did you get that?
i found it
you found it? where?
i found it around my neck.
after i stole it.
you stole it?
were the people you robbed rich?
No.
you must give it back.
No! i've never had anything this pretty.
if i stole from a rich person, would you be so upset?
that's not the point.
There's a line.
what line?
that poor woman is crying right now
because the only beautifull thing she will ever own
has been taken from her.
it is a cruel thing to cause pain to a woman
who has already known a lifetime of pain.
if you do not return it
I will leave you.
how will i know where the line is?
you will spend the rest of your life
answering that question.
I'll take it back.
did you take the necklace back?
of course i did.
you did what he told you to do.
i find it hard to believe.
he told you not to steal
yet you end up working for a bandit like Louche?
what i do is not stealing.
oh wait, please dont tell me
this is an honest casino
and you would never ever cheat a customer.
Noone who didnt deserve it.
spin the wheel
and keep both hands on the table, if you dont mind.
he picked up ancient secrets of self defense
From the far east.
the old man tought you how to fight?
what i called fighting, he called laziness.
I learned why even the great masters of Kina
would practise the same basic movements for a lifetime.
just the way a great concert pianist
never stops practising scales.
Eventualy
the movements become so much a part of you
you dont even think about them.
Lob tought me that there is more to shooting an arrow
than just hitting the target.
it is about training your mind to focus on the task at hand
and not let anything distract you from your goal.
as we traveled country to country.
Lob and I spoke a different language everyday.
each week i had to write an essay
on what i learned the week before.
this was his way of getting me think about the future
to walk through doors
i might otherwise be afraid to go through.
28 black.
we could do it.
we could do it with them not watching.
No.
Garcia should be here at any moment.
why dont you just let the rest of them go now?
I'll let them go when you win 2 in a row .
i'll let you know when i am bored.
Lob was happy
trampling from one place to another.
but he was finally willing to settle down for me.
it's like that roulette ball.
it can bounce around for only so long.
Eventually, it has to land some place.
so where will we live?
in tanger. There we can afford the rent.
Rent?
of course.
we have to pay the landlord.
what about papers? we dont have any idendity papers.
papers we can get.
Find the right people,
pay them the right amount.
you will need a name.
but i have a name: Modesty.
a last name.
why?
to write on the papers.
in the blank space where it says "last name".
i will use yours.
people would think i am your daughter.
that would be allright, wouldnt it?
that would make me very proud.
but you should choose your own name.
A name that says who you are
and who you want to be .
I cant think of a name.
you have time.
it will be months before we get there.
you will think about it.
Dream about it.
and when we get to Tanger
you will tell me your new name.
Modesty--
Modesty... Blaise.
It came from the king arthur stories.
Blaise was Merlins tutor.
as Lob had been mine.
What did he say when you told him?
he never got to hear it.
we were crossing Algeria during the troubles.
We were heading for Tanger.
we were in a small village.
the goverment tought that villagers .
were shielding the rebels.
there was a mortar attack.
Goverment tanks sent on the village.
he was killed?
one minute he was next to me
and you never found him?
Hidden somewhere out in the desert
there is a mass grave, with over 30 bodies.
there is a part of me buried there as well.
I believe we are more alike than i tought.
your father, Lob...
both killed in accidents of war.
No accident.
i know who's to blame.
The Louche Inc would not sell defective guns.
of course you would say that, wouldnt you?
your charming Monsieur treats you very well.
- it's not what you think.
- come on. look at you
wandered with a man 3 times your age.
what am i supposed to think?
you're supposed to think that i was in a new country
with no papers, no money, no friends.
And i had just lost the one person
who has ever meant anything to me.
I was back to hunting for food in the hills.
only this time
the hills were a building of a great city.
the line Lob taught me about.
I couldnt see clearly anymore.
i had accumulated all this knowledge
but it was useless.
I didnt care.
what i needed back then, was to feed my stomach.
Nicely done.
excuse me sir, let me go!
Normally i wouldnt care,
but the wallet you just stole
belongs to a customer of mine.
A good customer.
i dont know what you're talking about.
of course you dont.
you see, here is the way it works.
if my good customer doesnt have his wallet
doesnt have his money.
if he doesnt have his money
he cant spend it in my establishement.
so, you see? you steal from him
you steal from me.
where did you come from?
the desert.
i am going to let you go.
dont runaway.
dont worry, i wont go to the police
and i wont take the wallet.
are you hungry?
Come, have something to eat.
some lunch for my young friend.
so, why were you in the desert?
i was travelling.
travelling?
across the Sahara?
i see.
yes.
so you know how to survive the desert.
and you took Pierres wallet
as beautifully as i seen in a long time.
what else do you know how to do ?
i know how to read.
i know how to write in english, french
arabic, italian,
bereberic and croatian.
i can speak greek, but not read it yet.
i know how to steal a car.
i can fight, with my hands
with a gun and with a knife.
i know how to set a table for a formal dinner.
i can pick locks,
some kinds, not all.
i can swim, i can hold my breath
do you want a job?
a what?
31 black.
i won.
No, no, no.
it's a tie.
so what do we do when we tie?
we go again , i suppose.
No.
see? do i get my prize?
you already got your prize.
where is the girl in red?
she went in the last round
You,find her.
move! come on!
you, keep em here.
if they breath aloud,
shoot them.
i had nothing to do with it!
nice try.
come on, lets go.
Get up!
No! No!
i've been nice to you,
letting your friends go.
i didnt know she was going to run.
your Garcia was supposed to be here half an hour ago.
he is not coming.
he is . i swear.
No, i'll save you for last.
stop.
i know the combination.
i can get you into the vault.
go on.
Garcia is not coming. you're right.
when i talked to him,
i told him what was happening .
you told him nothing.
i was listening.
it was in code. We have a code to use when we're in trouble.
he was supposed to go and round up Louches men
and come and rescue us.
the game? i was just playing for time.
I suppose you're gonna tell me,
he has the casino surrounded
isnt it obvious, he sold out on us
Louche was dead.
he probably tought he was next on the list.
does that surprise you?
Yes.
you're afraid.
you were not afraid before, but
you are afraid now.
if you let everybody go,
i will get you into the vault.
No. No more games.
you go upstairs and open the vault.
forget about your friends
either i kill them, i kill them.
or i let them live,
i let them live.
you're the boss.
- huh?
- you're the boss.
didnt quite get that.
you're the boss!
yeah, now we understand each other.
so you knew this password all along.
No, no i didnt.
Not until Garcia told me.
your secret code.
yes.
Garcia said he was twelve miles from nowhere.
The truth was
he was meeting his girlfriend in Tanger.
then he said the investors were coming from Stockholm.
and that he will be here in 3 hours.
- type, three.
- No, 180 minutes.
open it.
where is the light switch?
i dont know, i've never been in the vault.
what's the matter?
you tell me.
all your stories about traps and plans
you want me to go in first?
i understand. some of the boys never get over their fear of the dark.
hey, there is a tunnel here.
what?
Modesty.
hold .
Modesty!
let's go.
Just what i've been waiting for.
i surrender.
what was that?
i find myself hard of hearing.
you're the boss.
damn right!
No!
some people think luck will never leave them
so they dont care who they hurt along the way.
As i said, i save my luck for when i need it.
in a strange way.
Louche did the same.
he built a secret way out of the vault
to secure his escape from enemies.
he never got to use it.
But garcia did.
- Garcia.
- you're gonna be ok.
thank you.
and in doing so
all the luck louche tried had tried to save up for himself
was instead to the rest of us.
you should go to a hospital.
i'll be fine.
i heal quickly.
i was really proud of you today, Irina.
Danielle ran, but you
you stayed with your friends.
thank you.
- Modesty.
- yes, Stassi?
i listened--
we all listened
to the stories, you told the man
yes?
well, mademoiselle...
some of us were wondering, how much of it was true.
My name is Modesty.
Rafael.
i want a crew to repair the damage.
i wanna be open tommorow night.
yes, miss Blaise.
and tell Louches suppliers the drug deal is canceled.
give them $20,000 and an apology
they will come after us.
they'll find another buyer soon enough.
we're not in their business anymore,
Rafa. you understand?
As you please.
You're the boss.
Rafa...
thank you.
you saved us all.
You call me
I come.
i am sorry about your father.
we all come from tough situations.
Lob taught me, that we always have choices
about what to make of ourselves.
but we dont always know where the choices will lead.
yours, closed a door for you
but opened one for me.
wish me luck.
Food.
Food!
For you!
Eat.
you want something to eat?
it is all right miss.
i wont hurt you, okay?
I promise.
what is your name?
where are your parents?
Your mama? Papa?
Father?
No, no, no, no.
use this.
May i help?
like this.
see?
i did not know it was that delicious.
Hey!
Missy!
Good luck!
No more bets, please. Les jeux sont faits.
Everybody is born with a certain amount of luck.
Some spend their luck on cards.
Some spend it at the wheel.
one out of 36 chances
For the lucky
or the brave or the foolish
one out of 36 did i say?
actually no, one out of 37.
Most people like to forget
that the odds are stacked against them.
I cant forget
because that little green zero
the house edge.
that is what pays my salary.
Zero!
yes!
As i said
Everyone gets a certain amount of luck.
Some priviledged away on the gaming tables.
Me?
I save my luck for when i need it.
My boss, Henri Louche...
Doesnt mind when a customer gets lucky.
Thanks.
But that gentleman, he went beyond that.
He got greedy.
So his luck needed to change.
Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen.
place your bets please.
La partie continue.
What's your name pretty lady?
My name is modesty, sir.
pretty Modesty, this one is for you.
Give me luck.
thank you sir.
No more bets please.
Les jeux sont faits.
sixteen red.
My lady, please.
Cash me out.
Place your bets, gentlemen.
I want my cash, please.
So you're leaving?
All right.
Once more.
Place your new bets, please.
Monsieur Louche taught me how to plan for moments like this.
he tought me
when you a trick a customer
he must never knows it.
if he never wins, knows the win is croocked.
So he places a series of small bets.
- He wins.
- He wins.
but he doubles up
triples up, after a big loss.
then we have him
no more bets, please. Les jeux sont faits.
that's when you take him to the cleaners.
anyone is allowed to be lucky.
Your job is to make sure they dont get too lucky.
Place your new bets, please.
everything is ready?
si, Monsieur Louche.
i have the information that the merchandise
will be waiting for us.
and a deal about the price?
yes, yes. everything should be smooth.
unless of course
we have any unexpeced high cash outs.
tonight, senor.
Modesty Blaise
is taking care of it.
no more bets please. Les jeux sont faits.
13 black.
i am so sorry sir.
i didnt mean to be your unlucky charm.
these things happen.
good luck to you
pretty Modesty.
these things happen
when greed clouds your judgement.
Monsieur Louche taught me that.
place your bets please.
La partie continue.
it would have been nice this particular night
if he had followed his own advice.
Let's go.
what the hell?
where are we?
who are you working for?
whatever you're getting, i'll pay you double.
do you think this is about money?
triple.
Name the price.
Close up for me, yes.
So early, Rafa?
I put in a whole day.
must conserve my energy.
For Estrella? you're gonna kill yourself.
but, i'll die happy.
Go on. go.
This night i'll finish for you.
Tell Stassi
three cases of gin, six vodka.
Two rum, four whisky.
I can always trust you to be on top of things.
- Big day tomorrow.
- Don't talk to me about tomorrow.
I dont wanna know.
There are better ways to make money.
i do what Monsieur Louche says.
He Calls me, i come.
Doesnt it ever bother you
when you have the Blaise game.
you can do as you please.
but this is the Louche game.
Very true.
fine, go ahead. go.
we dont wanna keep you in this suit waiting, do we?
I'll make this up to you,
I promise.
Could you get the hell out of here, please?
- Good night.
- good night.
The money is in the vault.
Everything is scheduled for tommorow.
So how did we do tonight?
Respectable.
Did Monsieur Louche said anything to you?
it could happen to anybody.
He just got lucky.
eleven reds in a row.
you saw it.
I tried to see how he was cheating.
he wasnt. Forget about it.
if you hadn't step in
Let it go.
Yes.
It could happen to anybody
And Monsieur Louche knows that.
Did almavar put his tellies ? i didn't see him do it.
I'll look.
hey, Irina, how did you make out?
I only got two orders round.
No, i meant how did you do with your tips?
Fine.
The men don't seem to like me.
what are you doing?
stop covering yourself up like a nun.
Danielle takes on 10 times more
i cant do what Danielle does .
It is like magic the way men throw money at her.
magic, the only magic is that the men who come to Club Louche
want to get happy, down here
Everytime a pretty girl enters their field of vision.
and if the pretty girl pays them some attention
i know.
it makes them feel alive.
and the more men feels alive
the more inclined they are to spend lots of money.
Now who do you want them to spend their money on?
Danielle or you?
me.
Good. there's hope for you yet.
See? Stassi should know better .
Forget about it. that's just danielles way.
one day she'll die
the doctors will cut open her chest
And find a cash register.
So you can smile.
Take that smile out to the floor tommorow night, and see if it makes a difference.
Get down!
Everybody on the floor!
All clear.
Good evening everybody.
So, who's in charge?
I am in charge.
You okay?
Now the vault
I need you to open the vault.
i cant.
you cant or you wont?
Tell the man what he needs to know.
It's a good advice.
you wanna be a hero?
or you want a big reward?
I dont know the combination.
i swear.
you wouldnt lie to me, right?
I swear.
Don't worry. it's okay.
whoever has the combination stand up now.
i give you 15 seconds before the next person dies.
Starting
now.
three seconds.
the new olympic record.
so you got the combination?
No, he had it.
he? Who is he?
the man you just killed.
but he said he didnt.
what did you expect?
he was just doing his job.
Protecting the money.
who else can open the vault?
Noone, except Monsieur Louche himself.
Monsieur Louche.
Of course.
why didnt i think of Monsieur Louche?
Oh yeah.
i killed him already.
How did he die?
He tried to fight back
you know he was outmatched as are you.
Begging.
Then the two men that can open the vault are dead.
There has to be someone else.
Besides, the combination changes every 24 hours.
Change? how does it change?
Monsieur Louches computer.
Get to the computer.
Find the combination.
i cant. Havent got the password.
This doesnt really improve your situation.
I am telling you everything i know.
I need to stop you from killing another person for no reason.
You think i am blood thirsty?
You think i like to kill?
I think you love it.
Maybe you're right.
You're not afraid of me.
I am terrified.
No.
She's terrified.
If i let you into the vault, will you let them go?
of course.
why are you asking?
The man you need is Rafael Garcia.
Unless you already killed him too.
You said noone else knows the combination.
No,but he knows the password to get the combination.
Where is he?
He left early.
he had a date.
guys, upstairs.
where are you going?
what?
if you're thinking of blasting your way in there
you should know you'd kill yourself
and all of us
and most likely bring down the whole building.
Monsieur Louche has the vault booby trapped.
The walls, doors, floor and ceilings
all wired to explode
if someone tried to stunt it.
Destroy all his cash, all his records?
No, i do not think so.
Monsieur Louche isnt a fool enough
to keep his records there.
As for the money, it's in switzerland.
the cash here is pocket change.
So you can tell your men, to put their toys away.
Monsieur Louche has focused your boss, and he knows it.
Anything else you like to add?
No? you sure?
You think i dont know about the money needed for the buy tommorow?
Money that needs to be here, not in Switzerland.
Now move it. Upstairs.
just a minute. the keys.
to monsieur louches office.
I realise it's more fun to kick the door down, but
Clean this mess up.
- Irina, we're all gonna die.
- Shut up!
First they rape us, then they kill us.
Modesty is trying to save us, cant you see?
Shut up!
come on!
The vault
where is the vault?
blow it.
the money would do you no good when you're dead.
let me prove it to you.
his plans are in the desk drawer.
easy now.
you know how to read a schematic?
i do.
each device is wired to all the others.
you trip one, they all go off.
these are the circuits.
that represents the wall over there.
traps here, here, here and here.
think of each one is a landmine.
you trip it and they'll find your foot in the harbour tomorrow.
Or your head.
Miklos, this doesnt look good.
Call your Garcia.
get him here now.
His girl lives up the coast, a long way from here.
Now!
Mi amor.
Hola. who is this?
Louche wants you to come up.
Monsieur Louche wants me to come by?
Louche said that he was coming to check on it personnaly.
yes, i understand. of course.
Can't you do it?
Not tonight.
No, no, no. i am twelve miles from nowhere.
Our investors from Stockholm will arrive in 3 hours.
You're asking me to drive all the way back to Tanger, why?
If you're not here when he arrives
I don't see how i can do it.
Come the usual way. you can make it.
I'll do my best to get there by 6:00.
You do better than your best.
so
do you think in the end
we are better gonna know?
I think
that i know you as well as i want to know you.
Stop wasting my time!
I am sorry, baby.
Don't tell me Monsieur Louche wants you.
Louche is dead.
- How?
- i don't know.
- Who did it?
- she couldn't say.
She? who is she?
Modesty.
who is Modesty?
she had a gun to her head.
i have to go..
if you call the police
You say nothing to the police.
go to Taza, to your family.
Who is Modesty?
Hey!
how about this?
on account of your big mouth, I kill him.
that will be three, and Ishua here will be four
are you trying to set a record?
Garcia should be on his way.
he can open the vault.
Oh god.
he should be here by 6:00.
looks like we have a bit of a wait.
why don't you make yourselves more comfortable. Come.
I want you away from here.
why you think i am organising a rebellion? like this?
you are a very tricky lady.
thank you.
How old are you?
sixty five.
i had a bit of work done.
i don't know when i was born.
You don't know when you were born?
No.
Parents forgot to tell you when is your birthday?
I never had a birthday.
I never knew my parents.
You're an orphan.
I believe we're more alike than you think.
I doubt that.
- let's play a game.
- a game?
this is a casino, isn't it?
- we're closed.
- we just re-opened.
We have time to pass until this Garcia arrives.
What do you have in mind?
why dont we play Roulette.
If you know how to.
- All right.
- All right.
Sir, i must ask you to holster your gun.
What?
Roulette's a gentelmens game.
it's against house rules to shoot the wheel
If you don't like where the ball lands.
Your men have control of the room.
Now, give me 100 chips.
Certainly, sir.
Your money, please?
my money?
You want to play roulette, you have to bet with real money.
you really are crazy, are you?
the people who walks through that door .
are prepared to risk something precious to them.
their next rent payment,
the future of their business
Their lovers esteem.
It just looks like money when they lay it on the table.
What they risk, tells something about who they are.
Whether they are truly brave
or just pretending to be brave.
You pay me when i win?
Of course.
but you will pay me with the casinos money.
All the money in this casino is mine.
Courtesy of your dead
Monsieur Louche.
No, i do not want to bet my own money to be paid by my own money.
then you must find something else to risk.
yeah, well what do you suggest?
them.
if you lose, they go free
they go free, they run to the police.
they run to your Garcia.
No.
If you're left free, you don't go to anyone.
If you do, everyone still here will die.
and dont think you'll be safe either
Because Miklos here, will hunt you
down and kill you, if you go to the police
Am i correct?
You're very correct.
all right. we play.
we play for their release,
one hostage at a time.
what are you playing for?
you dont want money.
I want you.
we've been this already.
Not the way you think.
if i strip you naked,
you wouldn't care.
I want you to give me something
I think you've never given to another man.
- what is that?
- the truth.
I ask you a question, you change the subject.
Your name, your age,
where you come from
there's not that much to tell .
I was an orphan.
i think that you telling me who you really are
is the same as that girl taking her clothes off.
but if i win
You tell me the truth about anything i ask.
and i mean the truth,
no matter how embarassing.
I don't embarasse.
that's why they call you Modesty.
Am i right?
Yeah, that's right?
Ten chips a piece.
Bet however you want
whoever have the most chips left after... 3 spins?
3 spins wins the round.
I win one round and you tell me a secret.
you win two rounds in a row, one of your friends go free.
You win one, but i have to win two?
Two in a row.
that puts the odds always in your favour.
Oh well, it's only fair.
your stories could be boring.
Fine.
we play. place your bets.
No, no, no.
no funny business.
No magnetic wheels, weighted balls.
You spin the wheel, then i place my bet.
I dont know about these things.
4 black.
29 black.
33 black.
well, well, well.
where do we begin?
why do you go by the name, "Modesty"?
that's a long story.
you start from the begining.
what do you want from me?
i want the truth.
you want to free your friends or not?
where were you born?
somewhere in the Balcanes, i think.
Where?
i dont know.
there was a war going on at the time.
there's always a war going on the Balcanes.
so they put you in an orphanage?
well, if they did,
i seem to have runaway.
at some point i wound up in a refugee camp .
- Attention!
- sir!
Leave him alone!
Police Police!
are you allright?
thank you
Hurry up!
come on
hurry!
Get out of the way!
Where, where where?
This way!
Turn here!
we had no papers.
that was the goverments game.
When refugees crossed the border
The army took away their identity papers.
Of course then they said to us
that you cant leave the camp without the papers.
so you needed baksheesh.
To bribe the guards yes.
but i didnt have any money
and Lob certainly didn't.
That's the old man?
yes.
- No. No.
- what's wrong?
Out of fuel.
screwdriver, pliers,
in case.
Flashlight.
and i found these.
We need every match to make fires.
The cold is crazy in the mountains at night.
I can make fire without matches.
besides, cigarettes are bad for you.
so you dont want this then?
this we keep.
it gets lighter as we go.
I tought you were sick.
i am out of my cage.
A Foolish
Going out with an old man you know nothing about.
he could have been anything
a criminal--
And you have deep moral objections
to association with criminals, is that it?
No, but you were just a little girl.
i was never a little girl.
My joining forces with Lob.
was easily the best decision i ever made in my life.
- put these on.
- why?
just put it on. little miss Modesty.
Please.
From that day on he called me Modesty.
so what's in your bag?
what did those thieves want?
Money.
thieves always wanted money.
but you have no money.
They didnt know that
Gold? jewels?
more precious than that.
Can i see?
they nearly killed you.
these aren't worth dying for.
i dont expect you to understand.
we'll talk about it in the morning
thirteen black.
So what happened next?
That was three spins. i won.
What? No, i cant only two.
Keep talking.
Honour your bet.
It was three.
who asked you? shut up!
I won. do i get to collect?
well you choose. quickly.
Ishua, you have to give me one more.
No, we had a deal.
you win, one of your friends go free. One!
You changed the rules when you shot Ishua.
What rules
if he doesnt go to a hospital, he's not gonna make it.
Ok. you get one in advance.
the next win you already had your prize.
Fine. that's fair.
Irina, this is too rough of a world for you.
go back to where you came from and dont look back.
You're wrong about me.
Choose someone else.
you can take Ishua to the hospital with you.
Believe me, take the exit while it is an offer.
Olivette Can do it.
Fine. have it your way.
Olivette?
I'll take Ishua straight to the hospital.
If you say one word about this to anyone out there we will all be killed, do you understand that?
- Oui, Modesty.
- Go.
Ten chips.
So. where were we?
wandering through Turkey.
- the professor and I
- Professor?
Lob was once a history professor in Zaghreb.
until, unfortunatly
he commited a major crime against the state.
- what was his crime?
- telling the truth.
he was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
he escaped by killing two of the guards.
of course then, he was wanted for murder as well.
he did what he had to do.
anyway, this one day
I was sneaking my way through one of his precious books.
the drawings seems to be telling a story
but i couldnt make out what the story was.
you know?
there are words that go with those pictures.
would you like me to teach you to read?
why?
it would be my way of paying you back
for saving my life.
if you want to pay me back,
i'll take gold.
who is this?
that is Merlin
the greatest wizard to ever lived.
he was king arthurs teacher.
why would a king need a teacher?
eveyone needs a teacher.
someday you will have many things to teach to someone else.
Merlin tought Arthur how to be
one of the greatest kings who ever lived
tought him poerty , war.
and about justice.
i know everything i need to know.
now it is my turn to ask you questions.
what did Louche do to you
to cause you to do something like this?
None of your business.
Our lives are in your hands
doesnt it make it my business
your dear Monsieur Louche...
Sold my father defective rifles in an arms deal.
i tought you said you were an orphan?
how do you think i became one?
if those rifles have done what they were supposed to do
my father and 6 of his top lieutenants would have been alive today.
instead i had to bury my father.
I was eleven, and i had to bury him.
and you've been waiting all this time for your revenge ?
No, I've waited until i knew that i couldnt have failed.
See? i have not failed.
Louche is dead.
now i ask the questions here.
so this is where you left the proffesor.
No. he began to teach me.
that's how he made his living.
travelling from village to village
teaching the children to read.
but to me, the words on the page
might as well been hierogliphics.
i felt stupid because i couldnt crack the code.
but he wouldnt give up
And gradually, the words began to make sense.
he had wandered from india to Morroco for nearly 30 years.
He knew 7 languages
he understood, history, science and poetry.
and this man who knew everything
told me i was special.
Noone had ever told me that before.
i didnt tell you to stop.
so your proffesor tought you. Go on.
there isnt so much to tell .
I grew up. Lob was like a father to me.
he tought me , he sculpted me.
he sculpted you.
i would have liked to see that.
where did you get that?
i found it
you found it? where?
i found it around my neck.
after i stole it.
you stole it?
were the people you robbed rich?
No.
you must give it back.
No! i've never had anything this pretty.
if i stole from a rich person, would you be so upset?
that's not the point.
There's a line.
what line?
that poor woman is crying right now
because the only beautifull thing she will ever own
has been taken from her.
it is a cruel thing to cause pain to a woman
who has already known a lifetime of pain.
if you do not return it
I will leave you.
how will i know where the line is?
you will spend the rest of your life
answering that question.
I'll take it back.
did you take the necklace back?
of course i did.
you did what he told you to do.
i find it hard to believe.
he told you not to steal
yet you end up working for a bandit like Louche?
what i do is not stealing.
oh wait, please dont tell me
this is an honest casino
and you would never ever cheat a customer.
Noone who didnt deserve it.
spin the wheel
and keep both hands on the table, if you dont mind.
he picked up ancient secrets of self defense
From the far east.
the old man tought you how to fight?
what i called fighting, he called laziness.
I learned why even the great masters of Kina
would practise the same basic movements for a lifetime.
just the way a great concert pianist
never stops practising scales.
Eventualy
the movements become so much a part of you
you dont even think about them.
Lob tought me that there is more to shooting an arrow
than just hitting the target.
it is about training your mind to focus on the task at hand
and not let anything distract you from your goal.
as we traveled country to country.
Lob and I spoke a different language everyday.
each week i had to write an essay
on what i learned the week before.
this was his way of getting me think about the future
to walk through doors
i might otherwise be afraid to go through.
28 black.
we could do it.
we could do it with them not watching.
No.
Garcia should be here at any moment.
why dont you just let the rest of them go now?
I'll let them go when you win 2 in a row .
i'll let you know when i am bored.
Lob was happy
trampling from one place to another.
but he was finally willing to settle down for me.
it's like that roulette ball.
it can bounce around for only so long.
Eventually, it has to land some place.
so where will we live?
in tanger. There we can afford the rent.
Rent?
of course.
we have to pay the landlord.
what about papers? we dont have any idendity papers.
papers we can get.
Find the right people,
pay them the right amount.
you will need a name.
but i have a name: Modesty.
a last name.
why?
to write on the papers.
in the blank space where it says "last name".
i will use yours.
people would think i am your daughter.
that would be allright, wouldnt it?
that would make me very proud.
but you should choose your own name.
A name that says who you are
and who you want to be .
I cant think of a name.
you have time.
it will be months before we get there.
you will think about it.
Dream about it.
and when we get to Tanger
you will tell me your new name.
Modesty--
Modesty... Blaise.
It came from the king arthur stories.
Blaise was Merlins tutor.
as Lob had been mine.
What did he say when you told him?
he never got to hear it.
we were crossing Algeria during the troubles.
We were heading for Tanger.
we were in a small village.
the goverment tought that villagers .
were shielding the rebels.
there was a mortar attack.
Goverment tanks sent on the village.
he was killed?
one minute he was next to me
and you never found him?
Hidden somewhere out in the desert
there is a mass grave, with over 30 bodies.
there is a part of me buried there as well.
I believe we are more alike than i tought.
your father, Lob...
both killed in accidents of war.
No accident.
i know who's to blame.
The Louche Inc would not sell defective guns.
of course you would say that, wouldnt you?
your charming Monsieur treats you very well.
- it's not what you think.
- come on. look at you
wandered with a man 3 times your age.
what am i supposed to think?
you're supposed to think that i was in a new country
with no papers, no money, no friends.
And i had just lost the one person
who has ever meant anything to me.
I was back to hunting for food in the hills.
only this time
the hills were a building of a great city.
the line Lob taught me about.
I couldnt see clearly anymore.
i had accumulated all this knowledge
but it was useless.
I didnt care.
what i needed back then, was to feed my stomach.
Nicely done.
excuse me sir, let me go!
Normally i wouldnt care,
but the wallet you just stole
belongs to a customer of mine.
A good customer.
i dont know what you're talking about.
of course you dont.
you see, here is the way it works.
if my good customer doesnt have his wallet
doesnt have his money.
if he doesnt have his money
he cant spend it in my establishement.
so, you see? you steal from him
you steal from me.
where did you come from?
the desert.
i am going to let you go.
dont runaway.
dont worry, i wont go to the police
and i wont take the wallet.
are you hungry?
Come, have something to eat.
some lunch for my young friend.
so, why were you in the desert?
i was travelling.
travelling?
across the Sahara?
i see.
yes.
so you know how to survive the desert.
and you took Pierres wallet
as beautifully as i seen in a long time.
what else do you know how to do ?
i know how to read.
i know how to write in english, french
arabic, italian,
bereberic and croatian.
i can speak greek, but not read it yet.
i know how to steal a car.
i can fight, with my hands
with a gun and with a knife.
i know how to set a table for a formal dinner.
i can pick locks,
some kinds, not all.
i can swim, i can hold my breath
do you want a job?
a what?
31 black.
i won.
No, no, no.
it's a tie.
so what do we do when we tie?
we go again , i suppose.
No.
see? do i get my prize?
you already got your prize.
where is the girl in red?
she went in the last round
You,find her.
move! come on!
you, keep em here.
if they breath aloud,
shoot them.
i had nothing to do with it!
nice try.
come on, lets go.
Get up!
No! No!
i've been nice to you,
letting your friends go.
i didnt know she was going to run.
your Garcia was supposed to be here half an hour ago.
he is not coming.
he is . i swear.
No, i'll save you for last.
stop.
i know the combination.
i can get you into the vault.
go on.
Garcia is not coming. you're right.
when i talked to him,
i told him what was happening .
you told him nothing.
i was listening.
it was in code. We have a code to use when we're in trouble.
he was supposed to go and round up Louches men
and come and rescue us.
the game? i was just playing for time.
I suppose you're gonna tell me,
he has the casino surrounded
isnt it obvious, he sold out on us
Louche was dead.
he probably tought he was next on the list.
does that surprise you?
Yes.
you're afraid.
you were not afraid before, but
you are afraid now.
if you let everybody go,
i will get you into the vault.
No. No more games.
you go upstairs and open the vault.
forget about your friends
either i kill them, i kill them.
or i let them live,
i let them live.
you're the boss.
- huh?
- you're the boss.
didnt quite get that.
you're the boss!
yeah, now we understand each other.
so you knew this password all along.
No, no i didnt.
Not until Garcia told me.
your secret code.
yes.
Garcia said he was twelve miles from nowhere.
The truth was
he was meeting his girlfriend in Tanger.
then he said the investors were coming from Stockholm.
and that he will be here in 3 hours.
- type, three.
- No, 180 minutes.
open it.
where is the light switch?
i dont know, i've never been in the vault.
what's the matter?
you tell me.
all your stories about traps and plans
you want me to go in first?
i understand. some of the boys never get over their fear of the dark.
hey, there is a tunnel here.
what?
Modesty.
hold .
Modesty!
let's go.
Just what i've been waiting for.
i surrender.
what was that?
i find myself hard of hearing.
you're the boss.
damn right!
No!
some people think luck will never leave them
so they dont care who they hurt along the way.
As i said, i save my luck for when i need it.
in a strange way.
Louche did the same.
he built a secret way out of the vault
to secure his escape from enemies.
he never got to use it.
But garcia did.
- Garcia.
- you're gonna be ok.
thank you.
and in doing so
all the luck louche tried had tried to save up for himself
was instead to the rest of us.
you should go to a hospital.
i'll be fine.
i heal quickly.
i was really proud of you today, Irina.
Danielle ran, but you
you stayed with your friends.
thank you.
- Modesty.
- yes, Stassi?
i listened--
we all listened
to the stories, you told the man
yes?
well, mademoiselle...
some of us were wondering, how much of it was true.
My name is Modesty.
Rafael.
i want a crew to repair the damage.
i wanna be open tommorow night.
yes, miss Blaise.
and tell Louches suppliers the drug deal is canceled.
give them $20,000 and an apology
they will come after us.
they'll find another buyer soon enough.
we're not in their business anymore,
Rafa. you understand?
As you please.
You're the boss.
Rafa...
thank you.
you saved us all.
You call me
I come.
i am sorry about your father.
we all come from tough situations.
Lob taught me, that we always have choices
about what to make of ourselves.
but we dont always know where the choices will lead.
yours, closed a door for you
but opened one for me.
wish me luck.
