Held on from dawn til dusk
My love, she's a, a Patsy
May she broke my heart
It bleeds right to the day
Patsy May, my dear
sweet lassie May
With a heart of gold,
I loved her every day
- [Egon] Is that a sailor
about, dear friend?
- Who goes there?
- [Egon] I am Egon Carthwright,
tired of sea and taken to land.
How now?
- Can you spare some
copper, lad? (chuckles)
- [Egon] None had to be spared,
but would you join
us in spirits?

- [Ottoman] Hey, baby,
Charley didn't show up.
Can you get a hold of him?
We gotta run this
load out by nine.
- [Person] No Charley?
- [Ottoman] Mm-mm.
Can you run by there
and make sure he's all right?
Call me when you get this.
(door squeaks)
(Egon speaks indistinctly)
- I'm Egon Carthwright.
These two sea dogs
are my comrades.
Rogerio Baston and
Leonard Paldwell.
(Rogerio hiccups)
- Good morning
gentlemen, Ottoman Moore.
What can I do for you?
I take it you didn't happen
into Blackwater by chance.
- Indeed not, it has
been work for me.
They were as I, men of the sea.
At present, carnival men.
We await the train
bearing equipment
for your fair set
for Hellwater's Eve.
- Yes, of course.
Welcome to Blackwater,
you're early.
- Our previous labors
were halted in tragedy.
Aboard a kindred train
car was a dancing
and fed brown bear called Shark.
A sympathetic amuser
of the metropolis.
A hundred miles
yonder, cut her loose.
She ate through him
leaving only the head
and went about.
I come early to trap her
before she eats again.
With me are idle hands.
- Is this something we
should be worried about?
- So those tracks
what guide her.
We have a fish
cooler of meat aboard
and an understanding.
(indistinct)
(flesh squelching)
What of the
occupation of my men?
- We don't have a
need at the moment.
We were in the process of
clearing out the warehouse.
Now we didn't expect anyone
for the next two weeks.
- So be it.
We await the arrival
of our carrier.
- Well, if you like we
can offer you a hot meal
and a bed for the night.
- We have both.
For the time being, Ottoman,
we'll remain idle in our
vessel, yonder parked.
- [Ottoman] You don't have
to sleep in that truck-
- Feathered bed soften men,
soft men are of no use.
- Okay.
Let me know if you need anything
and park where you like.
- We'll play no burden
on your welcome.

- [Person] Might be
able to use some help
tying in those old train cars.

- [Person] Daisy's fine, Otto.
- Then why's she in a
cage, she was hysterical!
Let me see her!
- [Person] She's
pretty riled up.
- Let me see her!
- Charley's dead, Otto!
Mary Ellen called.
Says she heard Daisy screaming
from inside the house.
(Daisy screaming)
(insects chirping)
Otto?
It was Carl that done it.
Wouldn't quit going
on about a shark.

- By now, you've all
heard about Charley.
Daisy is the one that found him.
Egon assured me that.
(intense music)
He's gonna find the bear
before anything else,
God forbid, happens.
His men will be working here
while we sort things out.
I'm sure you can
understand, I don't want her
alone at the warehouse at night.
- [Egon] How is the lady, sir?
- [Ottoman] She's
better, thank you, Egon.
(tense music)
(person hiccups)
(person retching)
(person snorting)
(gears clicking)
(intense music)
(door thumps)
- [Egon] Ottoman?
- [Ottoman] Hello, Egon.
I take it the three of you have
labored as mechanics before.
- [Egon] They two.
I'm merely a servant
traveling amongst men,
reading and
translating God's word.
- We're pleased to
have you, reverend.
Those boys of yours,
work hard.
- [Egon] Neither
their fears work.
- Have them come in and
get some cool water.
I have some paperwork I want
them to fill out anyway.
- Neither can read, sir,
and albatross English
has nor need to scribe.
If all will be the same,
I will handle records.
- Oh, I see.
- You see not so clear
as you believe, sir.
As I said it,
trade labor for occupation.
As I see it, that's
exactly what you've done.
- And why do they do it?
- [Egon] They's bit
by lady rum, sir.
(Otto laughs)
- Yeah, yeah.
My daddy ran a river crew.
So as far as rum goes,
I've had my licks.
- Indeed, sir.
As we all have.
(insects chirping)
(music box tinkling)
(Rogerio grunting)
Arduous men shall
enter the kingdom.
All others shall be
punished upon its steps.
(dramatic music)
(drop plops)
(door squeaks)
Hello, gentlemen.
- [Person] Morning, reverend.
- Morning.
- Carson, might I have a minute?
- Go pull them bins
out, I'll be right out.
- All right.
- Egon McCarth.
- Carson French.
- [Egon] Your son's a
(indistinct) Carson.
- Why do you say that?
- [Egon] Ottman is
under a great burden.
- I know Otto pretty good.
- You're second in command.
The decision was bred of
haste, not of derision.
- I figured.
- Ottoman has
offered my men work.
I seek to honor any request
he lodge, similarly,
I will respect your senior
and speak well of
it upon his return.
(ax thuds)
(tool whirring)
(engine humming)
- [Person] Hey, Bianca.
(Bianca laughs)
(Carson laughs)
(engine humming)
- [Ottoman] Babe!
Damn, you lazy woman.
- I've been through a
traumatic experience.
Thank you very much.
They said on the TV it could
take years to return to normal.
- [Ottoman] That'll be
good, that'll finally gimme
some time to do some yoga.
(Daisy laughs)
- You're so full
of shit, Ottoman.
- You're just intimidated
by the thought of
my ass in spandex.
- [Daisy] What's all that?
- [Ottoman] About to find out.
(metal clinking)
(TV muttering indistinctly)
(blade clinking)
- Where's all that from?
- The warehouse.
(eerie music)
Hmm.
- [Daisy] Where's that from?
- Can't even tell.
The card is all rubbed off.
Oh.
- Oh, wow.
(Daisy speaks indistinctly)
(metal squeaking)
- Get out, you're not working
for this god damn. (indistinct)
How about that, fuck that, huh?
- [Carson] Oh, yeah?
- [Bianca] Yeah.
- Why'd you throw my
shit out like that?
(engine rumbling)
You fucked my truck up!
(brakes squealing)
(tense music)
(intense music)
(door squeals)
- [Daisy] Hey there.
- Good morning.
- I'm Daisy, Otto's wife.
- Yes, I know who you are
and I am Egon. (indistinct)
Pleased to meet you.
- I am so sorry
about the other day.
- Is everything well?
- Charley's wife's shook up.
Charley's the one that died.
So Otto's just trying
to keep things up here.
Get the warehouse cleared out.
Make sure I'm not going crazy.
Oh Lord.
When it rains it pours.
How are you?
- I only wish that my
presence has played no foul
upon these burdens.
- Uh-uh, not at all.
Otto told me about the bear.
I'm not gonna say nothing.
- No sense bringing about fear.
It's the salt that boils mutiny.
- [Daisy] You gonna catch him?
- Her.
I aim to.
- [Daisy] I hope to God you do.
- Yes, hope and God
are well and good.
It's been said often
enough and true
that the Lord's
work is mysterious.
- Ain't that the truth?
Awful curious to see what
he's got in store this time.
- Ottoman had suggested George
to be mannered in
the day's work.
I suggest Carson act as
Ottoman in his absence.
Is it true he soon may be?
- [Daisy] George.
Huh.
I figured he'd want Carson.
Oh, what am I saying?
Yeah, that'd be great.
I could use the help.
Usually, at the warehouse...
(tense music)
- [Egon] Then I'll see to it
and try my hands
upon these trenches.

- Reverend.
(footsteps patter)
Reverend.
- Hello, Ottoman.
- No signs of the bear?
- Shark?
None so far.
This fellow here
has got an eye out.
(Ottoman laughs)
- [Ottoman] It's
beautiful out here.
- [Ottoman] Carson and
Daisy's laughter led me down.
- Nice to see
Carson's working hard.
My daddy, he,
he used to bring me down
here singing old river songs,
drunk off his ass.
- Aye.
Rum lets the canary
float in all of us.
Sad old bird, she is.
Troubled.
- Yeah.
- You sing the old
songs to your boy?
- You been talking to Daisy?
- [Egon] No, sir.
- Not yet.
I'm trying.
- Reckon the trying's
not the bad part.
Your flowers as far as they go.
(Ottoman laughs)
- Man, you ain't wrong.
What about you?
- No.
Had a son, died.
- Sorry to hear that.
- He wasn't right for
this world, Ottoman.
- [Ottoman] What
happened to him?
(waves hissing)
- Got cut up for stealing,
took some cheese off
a mad old sea dog.
Gangrene came up his arm.
We're 70 (indistinct)
off, nothing to be done.
I shot the dagger into his
heart, held him in my arms
as his eyes and my
soul went black.
(static hissing)
- [Leonard] I see God, man.
- That ain't God, Leonard.
That's the devil.
- You lie, Rog, it
don't matter at all.
- She pretty though.
(footsteps patter)
(birds chirp)
(objects clinking)
(wheelbarrow rattling)
- [Egon] George?
Ottoman requested my
eyes be upon today.
- I heard.
- You're a stranger to me, lad.
But the drink is
a dear old friend
- Otto don't mind.
- So be it, I have
only rules under God
and at present Ottoman.
- [George] Are you
going tell Otto?
- He is at now my captain.
- [George] Well,
there ain't no sense
in worrying him more
than he already is.
- [Egon] George?
- Yeah.
- [Egon] If you speak of this
to no one, I will the same.
- All right, then.
(music box tinkling)
(wheelbarrow rattling)
- I spoke with Daisy.
(light clinks)
(tense music)
(door squeaks)
- [Carson] Hey.
- [Daisy] Hey.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
Just, you know,
everything.
- It's gonna be all right.
Are them naked pictures?
- Sure are.
You know,
Otto used to have a
picture of me at his desk,
but I guess now he's got
a taste for orientals.
He even ripped a few pages out.
I thought he just liked the
crab rangoon at the buffet.
- Ah, Daisy.
Don't think nothing of it.
(tools thudding)
- Once you've poured
stone, Carson will have you
grease and return the bins.
I'll be taking Rogerio.
- All right, then.
- Bring a bin, felled.
(wood clinking)
(wheelbarrow rattling)
(music box tinkling)
- [Rogerio] You
said I'd have her.
- [Egon] You engaged temptation
and cast doubt as a
dagger against me?
- [Rogerio] She
loves that black-
- [Egon] Nonsense,
you're blinded by lust.
And where's he?
Drowned, both of you.
Him by flood and you by thirst.
Daisy cannot help but
shed a futile petal
into the water to be grasped.
- [Rogerio] What do I do?
- [Egon] You follow
me and listen
and by thus follow God.
You receive.
(Rogerio hiccups)
(wood clattering)
(wood clattering)
(saw whirring)
(saw whirring)
- [Rogerio] Last one.
- [Egon] Bring it to me.
(tense music)
(saw whirring)
(Rogerio wheezing)
(flesh squelching)
(Rogerio wheezing)
(Rogerio wheezing)
- [Bianca] Hey, have
you seen Carson?
- [Rogerio] He's on-
Daisy.
(body thuds)
(Bianca screaming)
(dramatic music)
- How did this happen?
- Well, Rog done
sawed off his hand.
(Rogerio grunting)
- [Ottoman] Thank you, Leonard.
(Leonard speaks indistinctly)
How did it happen?
- [Leonard] We fixing
up that ramp, sawing.
(Leonard speaking indistinctly)
- Ramp?
What ramp?
- Bin ramp gave out
a while back, Otto.
- You supposed to
have that fixed.
(Rogerio hiccups)
Do you need to go
to the hospital?
- No, sir, I'm all
right. (hiccups)
Leonard stitched me
up pretty damn good.
Reverend. (indistinct)
- Egon.
Carson.
Let's have a word.
(footsteps patter)
(Rogerio hiccups)
How did this happen?
Carson, why was he
using that machine
without your supervision?
- [Carson] I never-
- [Egon] Carson wisely sought
to handle the tasks of
your absence burdened.
I assured him of our
abilities despite his concern.
This fell beneath my eyes,
the fault is mine alone.
- Thank you, Egon.
But Carson has been-
- [Daisy] Otto.
- Here long enough to know...
- I didn't know where
to start in here.
I asked Carson for some help
getting things together in here
for Thursday's
disperse, I didn't know.
- You know better than to
let a brand new employee
into the cutting room.
- [Carson] It
won't happen again.
- Is this the kind of
leadership I can expect from you
in my absence?
It cannot be.
(tense music)
(insects chirping)
- Plenty of sailors go
overboard in high seas, Ottoman.
- And what then?
- Sometimes it's just a splash.
Rest of us join him in
wet lips, have a laugh.
(liquor trickles)
For a quick recovery.
As it will do.
Engages the spirits.
- And what if it's more
than just a splash?
- Swallowed in the sea?
The rest of us drowned
alongside him, full on.
Load the gun wall and set sail.
- Why does the bear
leave the head?
- Reminds them of
their mother's eyes.
Nothing is ever so good
nor so bad as it seems.
(liquor trickles)
(glasses clink)
(Ottoman grunts)
Ottoman, I'd like
your ear for a moment.
Cut my tongue if
it bends too far.
- Okay.
My ear is bent.
- I owe the trust of my men,
as it were my own
beating heart fell out.
I've confided in me truths
to make brittle
molten ears of demons,
stoned ulcers
overflowed inside me.
I swore the same to you
once we shook hands,
which is why I bring
this to you now.
For thine ears alone.
Does Carson make
regular acquaintance
with your flower?
(tense music)
- [Ottoman] Daisy?
(hammer thuds)
(tape hissing)
This is Blackwater, Egon.
Everybody knows everybody here.
- Of course, that's
no matter, anyway.
Reimagine my position.
Carson shared in spirits,
and I recall in the
troubles of my men-
- Wait, he was drinking?
- I bore no witness,
merely suspicion.
He and Daisy, I suppose-
- What?
Daisy knew about this?
- With all that happened...
- I could lose everything.
- The problem is solved.
Ottoman.
At the last breath of this
transgression be breathed here.
- It's not that simple.
- Yes, it is.
- If word got out-
- There's blood in
them words you hold.
You see, Ottoman,
carnival work being nearest
the trades of the sea,
is all that suits old sailors.
I smelled death lingered
in the hulls of a ship,
not half this size.
For months.
(fly buzzing)
A bouquet of it,
worsening daily.
(fly buzzing)
Nightmares dare not conceive
such ghastly sights.
But we've done it.
Me and Rogerio,
and Leonard, act thicker
than blood says so.
(train rattling)
(person screaming)
So if you think I'm turning
you to some authority
and point and call negligence
where one of my men lost
not his good hand.
(Egon laughs)
You have no faith at all, lad.
- I have my suspicions
or I have my love.
Not both.
(flesh squelching)
(tense music)
I'm afraid of what
you're not telling me.
- [Egon] Stay blessed and
unburdened by jealousy.
It is the green-eyed monster
that mocks the meat it feeds on.
- I'm not jealous,
I'm just wondering.
- Knowing that, good Ottoman.
Look to your flower,
look to Daisy
and see if you see no
change in her acquaintance
with Carson, then be at peace,
and forgive my
weakness, then pity me.
Only remember, sins and
darkness are not left undone,
simply untold.

(crickets chirping)

(glass clinking)
(door thuds)
(footsteps thump)
- Oh, reverend, you about
scared me half to death.
- Apologies, Ms. Daisy.
We were led to expect it empty.
- Should have been.
I come up here to get
a few things at first,
found 30 years worth
in those old boxes.
- Any to speak of?
- Otto found some of
his daddy's old things.
Got me curious.
But no, mostly just
a bunch of old books.
(Rogerio hiccups)
(metal clanging)
What are you all doing here?
- [Egon] We've been put to task
at the light that's gone out.
I take it Master
Ottoman did not inform.
- He might have.
He told me you two
talked last night.
He really appreciates you.
- [Egon] As a man of God,
it is my duty to keep your
ears open on his behalf.
- I'm just glad he's
got someone to talk to.
He sure doesn't
say much at home.
- [Egon] When affliction resides
in the tongue, Ms. Daisy,
a man must not give it
passage into the home.
Ottoman's burdens are noble.
And silence is his shield.
- Hmm.
He thinks he's protecting me,
but I worry about him too.
- [Egon] The drinking?
- What?
- Nevermind it, I misspoke.
- Spoke or misspoke, you spoke.
Now speak, what is it?
Reverend, that is my husband.
I have a right to know.
- [Egon] In confidence?
- [Daisy] Yes.
- Lord, forgive my treason
and give it noble cause
If you'll indulge me
in these long winds,
I'll explain.
Perhaps together
we can rid Ottoman
of his torments.
I too lay dying under
the heels of lady rum,
that the Lord found me
and removed the burden.
My rank among these
men was gifted to me.
I met death so often, we
became as jealous lovers.
I'd sing for her and
she'd dance for me.
And one such showing,
the Lady Cypress met
another vessel head on.
Yes.
Yes.
Impaled their skipper
straight away.
Sad he must have been to
die so swift of mercy.
It wasn't so easy
for the others.
Drug to sea,
treading water so
long to make soft eyed
hated saviors of sharks.
All at once the sea
turns so bright red,
the devil himself would pale.
There I was captain
of the Cypress,
a derelict.
Exit mates as if they never was.
I drank rusted water,
bit the silver backs
of long-rotted fish.
Soured, scurvied, and
hurting other places
that only rum could see.
And so, to the devil,
I prayed for one
last taste of rum
and as we said it the
Lord, work in mystery.
There it was.
Could have been days,
could have been years,
but there it came.
Water.
Boiled, rid of its
salt, and chilled.
Stale bread, salted fish.
He'd bring me those two
old sea dogs you see
in flesh before you today.
We landed ashore the
mouth of the Mississippi,
and rode it hither.
I traded in the Lady
Cypress for that old truck.
God afforded me a new life
and I have vowed to spend it
bringing his word to those men.
I see goodness in Ottoman and
I beg you to let me help him.
All I need is time
and your cooperation.
You'll notice changing
behaviors, recurring troubles.
It's important that you
not react to any of this
and allow the change
to run its course.
(unsettling music)
(liquor trickles)
(crickets chirping)
- [Daisy] How about
some pie, babe?
- I'm not too sweet right now.
- Can't wait to get
through all this
and just stare out at
the ocean together.
- You know Egon's a preacher?
- [Daisy] What
makes you say that?
- [Ottoman] He teaches them
carnival boys the Bible.
- Since when is Ottoman Moore
interested in the Bible?
- I don't know.
Charley's dead.
Boy almost died on Monday.
If Egon hadn't swore
up and down for me not
to worry about his boy's
hand getting chopped off,
I might have had to fire Carson.
- Why would you fire Carson?
He's your best employee, Otto.
And if he's a preacher, then-
- What?
Why, why, why are you always
sticking up for Carson?
- I'm not sticking up for
him, he's your friend.
I'm just-
- That stupid son of a bitch
almost got someone killed.
If he wasn't in there
giving you eyes.
- Otto, you're being ridiculous.
You ought to be glad
for the extra help.
- Yeah, I bet you are.
- What's that mean?
(tense music)
(Ottoman sighs)
No, what the hell is
that supposed to mean?
- Daisy, I see the
way they look at you.
- And what about you?
- Baby, I, I don't know, okay?
Just,
just,
baby, okay, just look.
I'm tired and I, I want
to, I wanna finish this.
I want to, I, I gotta
work on this now.
Baby, look, come, okay, stop.
Stop it, come on now, Daisy.
Daisy, stop it, listen.
Daisy, stop it!
I'm tired of you
not listening to me.
(Bianca moaning)
(both moaning)
- [Bianca] Come inside me.
- [Carson] What?
- Come inside me.
(both moaning)
(lighter clicks)
Tastes like liquorice.
- Most of it does.
(crickets chirping)
- Yeah, I think things
are going to be different.
- What'd you say that for?
- Oh, you know what
I mean, any of it.
Never how you imagine it,
even though you've done
it a thousand times.
- Cut it out.
- I ain't doing
nothing but talking.
- Oh, don't start that,
you know what you're doing.
- [Bianca] No, I don't know.
- I'm not doing that again,
Bianca, it ain't safe.
- So what, we're just gonna
drink liquor at your car
and screw when you feel like it?
- That's not what I mean.
- Then what do you mean?
- I wanna know how come you're
so god damn sure about it?
- Oh, why can't we just
have a good time once
without you being an asshole?
- Just trying to ask a question.
- Then ask it, Carson.
- Why'd you tell me to do that?
- Because
it don't matter.
- Don't matter.
What the fuck's that
supposed to mean?
Who else are you
saying that shit to?
- Fuck off, Carson, I do
not deserve this shit!
(door thumps)
(tense music)
- As I labor in
service of your loins,
oppose the sacraments of
marriage, you'll repent.
I'll be set in the
stage for our third act.
See to it the fool is
hungered by my return.
(Leonard speaks indistinctly)
- [Leonard] Come
on, come on, yeah.
(Rogerio wheezing)
(engine humming)
(crickets chirp)
- This is where me
and Daisy got married.
- Yes, I know.
There will be
transgressions to note,
but you are the shepherd.
Let us break bread together,
count on our blessings.
- [Ottoman] I don't, I
don't know about that.
Things between me and Daisy are-
- My men will see
to the service.
Here is what the
hatchet be buried.
May good the seeds
sewn with Daisy
and Ottoman bear witness.
(unsettling music)
Beg her, revive you to him.
Her tongue can bend
his ears no other.
As for Ottoman, be
fruitful with him.
Toasts of the past and
lay waters to the future.
Then
give Carson and
Ottoman their fill.
Daisy, wholesome
flower mustn't be wise
from whence the spirits came.
Once the seeds have laid to
harvest, watch them grow.
(unsettling music continues)
- [Carson] Reverend?
I'm gonna be a daddy.
(footsteps patter)
(door slams)
(fire crackling)
(people speaking indistinctly)
(birds chirp)
(Rogerio laughs)
(crickets chirp)
- Reverend know about that?
Mind if I try a little?
(liquid sloshing)
(intense music)
(people speak indistinctly)
(engine humming)
(intense music)
- Want a cigar?
(people laughing)
Want one?
(intense music continues)
(Daisy moaning)
(Daisy moaning)
(flames roaring)
(Daisy moaning)
(Daisy moaning)
- You think I'm stupid?
You son of a bitch!
Get off me, get off me!
You think I'm stupid?
Let me call you a whore?
You're a whore!
You're a slut!
Let me go, you're not
my wife, not my wife.
(liquid plopping)
(intense music)
(Ottoman speaks indistinctly)
(Daisy and Ottoman
yell indistinctly)
(Ottoman speaks indistinctly)
- [Daisy] What are you
looking for, Ottoman?
(intense music continues)
(Ottoman speaks indistinctly)
I don't know.
Please, let's just sit down-
Just sit down.
(intense music continues)
- [Egon] Black okay?
- Thank you.
- Is this where
slumber found you?
Ottoman?
What became of the night?
- I don't know, I,
I can't remember.
- You must know.
Carson
brought home your Daisy.
I cannot be certain of more,
which I did not bear witness.
Do you trust Daisy?
- I don't know.
I don't know anything anymore.
- Doubt is more
powerful than certainty.
- What am I supposed to do?
- Certainty must precede action.
Justice requires it.
There mustn't be suspicion.
I'll cease tomorrow's labors
under the guise
of reconciliation.
Onward we scheme.
(tense music)
(reel clicking)
- The way we're
drinking, George.
These boys might have
to make some room.
- What's that you boys drinking?
- Oh, that shoe shot.
Hmm?
- Well shit, yeah, I
want some. (laughs)
(group laughs)
- Careful, George.
She's a tricky spirit.
- Shit, the way these
boys are drinking,
it looks like god damn
watered down H2O. (laughs)
- "Watered down H2O," boy
you are dumber than shit.
Don't cuss neither.
Reverend don't like it.
- God damn you river boys
is something else! (laughs)
Hey, fuck you, Carson.
You want to talk about
dumber than shit?
Well, you got a whore pregnant.
You're dumber than
your dick! (laughs)
- Yeah, I know, I seen
you and the boss's wife
awful cozy together. (hiccups)
(reel clicks)
- Who, Daisy?
No.
No, Daisy's a good girl.
I ran out with this
old girl Bianca
and she ain't a whore no
more, fuck you very much.
- Yeah, I was with a
whore once, after Cypress.
I was so drunk.
She gave me five minutes.
I gave her three shots
and she didn't
even get pregnant.
Just drunk.
(group laughing)
- Man, I gotta know. (laughs)
Did she have a timer?
- Nope.
Stopwatch.
(George laughing)
(reel clicking)
How'd it happen?
- [George] What you mean?
Yeah, we was drinking
together and he fucked her.
- She said she was
tired of running around.
We got to drinking
one night, talking.
That was that.
- Where'd you do it?
- You boys ain't gonna
tell Otto, is you?
- No. (laughs)
- In the office.
- [George] Oh, shit.
(tense music)
- [Carson] Behind the office.
- [George] Oh, shit.
- [Carson] In the warehouse.
- [George] Oh.
- [Carson] In the car.
- [George] Ugh.
- [Carson] Lots of
times in the car.
(group laughing)
- They laugh
and swim in the oceans
of your despair.
- My sweet Daisy.
- She is as wretched as he.
You must see that.
It is she who betrayed you.
Carson merely gave
way to his nature.
- No.
She loves, speaks,
she looks like an angel.
How could I not see it?
- A friendly dagger stabs twice.
Entering in our backs
and through our hearts.
- I'll watch her go to hell
as she looks into my eyes.
Hang her for trains to see.
- That's not the way.
(object thuds)
(liquid trickles)
An eye for an eye and
a tooth for a tooth.
She should suffer for her sins
in the very bed she betrayed.
- I have been a fool.
But no more.
- As it is written.
So shall it be.

(gunshots blasting)
(eerie music continues)
- What did you do?
What the hell did you do, Otto?
(tense music)
(metal clinks)
(footsteps patter)
(tense music continues)
- Tell me.
What happened, Daisy?
- What?
What are you talking about?
- Ask God for forgiveness.
Maybe you won't go to hell.
- Otto.
- [Otto] Confess this.
- Stop it.
You're not making any sense.
- It won't change anything.
I just wanna hear you say it.
Confess!
- No!
You're crazy.
- Carson already confessed.
Laughed about it before he died.
(objects clattering)
(Otto laughing)
- You're scaring me.
- Oh.
She feels.
It's a miracle.
- Look, Egon told me that
he's been helping you.
Come on, let's just
talk to him together-
- It's too late for that!
I loved you, Daisy,
I loved you so much.
How could you do this to me?
- I didn't do anything!
I love you too, I'm
worried about you.
- Carson. (indistinct)
You were never worried about me.
- What?
Me and Carson?
Are you fucking kidding me?
We have nothing.
- [Ottoman] The reverend-
- We have nothing.
- He told the
reverend everything!
- No!
- About him loving you,
and you loving him!
