The Frame (2014) Movie Script
1
Aydame...
Whoa! We got a fire!
Lock it up!
Lock it up now!
Two of three... Two out of three!
What the fuck?
Hey, mother fucker!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Calm down! Get in the cab!
Go with them!
Nine lives, monje.
So we clean?
Yeah, we only got two.
No, no, you did good.
That's a good score.
There's ten.
We'll see what the numbers say.
Probably another 200 percent.
Give us a minute?
Look into those papers?
You don't want to do this.
He's got people everywhere.
He will find you.
Look, just keep your
head down, do your time.
I've done my time.
Hey, I get that, but
you keep him happy,
you'll keep earning...
Tommy.
Alright.
My guy says that it takes a
week for a passport... 5K.
7K if you want a
birth certificate.
Okay.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Alright, just hit me up
in a couple of days.
Yeah.
No cops yet... figures.
Umm... give them a minute.
We'll just start staging
until they get here.
Sam!
Shit!
Hi honey, can we come in?
My mom!
She...
Wake up, hey...
You're okay... You're okay...
No, no, she's fine, she's
fine, she just fell down.
It's fine, it's fine,
man, it's cool.
We just got a call, we got
to come check it out.
Miss, miss, can you hear me?
You guys need to go, man.
Take it easy, have a seat.
I don't want to sit down...
She's fine, man.
Hon, can you tell
me what happened?
You guys need to go!
You need to go, man!
Take it easy, man.
- You need to go!
- It's alright.
She's alright though.
You don't have to push.
I'm gonna make sure.
Hey, get the fuck
out of here, man!
Sir, stop right there!
Stop right there, sir!
Sir!
You get the fuck out of my house!
James? James?
Honey, what's your name?
Julia.
Julia?
Okay Julia, I know you're
scared, but I need you,
I need you to be a hero.
Julia? Julia...
Can you be my hero?
Okay.
I need you to hold your hands on
your mom's head like this, okay?
And I want you to look
up there at the clock
and I want you to count
the seconds for me, okay?
Okay, don't look down here,
I want you to stay looking
at the clock and you
count the seconds.
Okay, you counting?
Yeah.
Okay, I don't hear you.
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17,
18, 19, 20, 21, 22...
There we go... There we go.
Good, okay.
You did good, Julia, come here.
It can feel futile, you know?
Just seeing pain every day...
starts to make things
feel meaningless.
I tell myself I know
it's not meaningless.
I know it's not.
I just want to change
things, make it all better.
What things?
Just...
The inevitable?
You wish you could
have stopped things?
Things you regret?
Do you want to talk about that?
Not really.
I think you've been doing
a lot better lately.
You've been staying busy,
keeping yourself distracted.
You're still.
You've got to work on that.
Shit!
Fuck!
My mom... she...
Wake up!
Hey, you're okay!
No, no, she's fine,
she just fell down...
It's fine, we got a call,
we gotta come check it out.
Miss, miss, can you hear me?
Sir, stop right there!
Stop right there!
Stop right there, sir!
You get the fuck out of my house!
Julia, can you be my hero?
Okay.
...starts to make things feel
meaningless... l tell myself,
I know it's not meaningless...
I know it's not.
I just want to change
things, make it all better.
What's shakin', Francois?
Blub, blub, blub, blub.
Noodles, you make
my life amazing...
Broccoli!
Okay.
You're telling me you've had
these guys wired for eight weeks
and you don't know where
or who they're gonna hit?
We need more time, the orders
are coming across the border...
Tell your guys to make the deal.
They take the bait,
we move in on it.
Lock it up!
Lock it up now!
No, what are you doing?
Look into those papers?
You don't want to do this,
he's got people everywhere,
he will find you.
Look, just keep your
head down, do your time.
I've done my time.
Yeah, I get that but...
Oh, son of a bitch...
You got it?
Yeah.
They tell me a bunch of designer
clothes got dropped off
yesterday, you know about that?
You think I wear
designer clothes?
What's going on over here?
Philanthropy wasn't paying so
I started slinging that junk.
Won't get you high, but the
diarrhea is incredible!
I'm burning up here, wanna
give me some of that?
Don't get all romancy on me
there, Carla gets jealous.
Don't flatter yourself, I
could do a lot better.
Could you? Where
is she then, huh?
I don't have any time.
Bullshit.
Hey, what are you doing?
My company's not
good enough for you?
Well, unless you want to play
a little Debussy yourself...
I dug up that fiddle I've been
holding for you the other day.
You take it with you,
I've had it long enough.
I can't...
I'm leaving town.
Are you?
Where are you going?
I'm just getting
free of everything.
Is that gonna be safe?
I got it worked out.
Well, she belongs with you.
Don't do this to him...
Don't do this, you fuck!
Not this time...
He's been through enough.
You fuck!
Yeah?
I'm calling about the papers.
Yeah, we're set, meet
me here at 10:00.
There's no need to haggle...
We'll give you our
lowest price up front!
And all vehicles are backed
by Planet's five day,
250-mile money back guarantee!
Por favor! Por favor no!
Aydame... Aydame...
What the fuck?
Hello?
...each with a story to tell...
Introducing the Lost and Found
Collection from Sofa Mart.
Intricate detail...
Ed Henry was very clever
about this, by the way...
El nmero...
It had to be some
kind of prank, right?
Sam, it was a prank.
You got goofed, and then
you called the police...
You called the police, right?
Yeah.
Ha! Shit!
Umm... did they, you know,
take you seriously?
Doesn't matter... l just...
Okay, alright, I'm sorry.
Alright, go ahead, please.
I just feel like I'm not right
in the head or something.
Hey, hey, you're not alone, okay?
I'm here if you ever
want to talk, or...
James!
Hey, hey... you!
What are you doing?
What are you doing, girl?
You totally missed Chad's party!
No, I was there, I just...
I had to come late.
Alex, hace aos.
You've been doing good work.
Tommy tell you how much
we cleared on Drake?
Was a good score.
How you been?
You been good?
Yeah.
Good... that's good.
We got something new...
something big.
Los Dominicanos.
Narcotics.
I don't do that anymore.
Talk to Desiderio, my
deal is no weapons.
Estimated 2.5, maybe three.
But we're going to have
to get our hands dirty.
Dirty hands means doing time.
I'm not going back.
Desi know about this?
The Dominicans?
You running from your debt?
Desi know about this?
He doesn't need to know.
He's happy as long as
you're earning, no?
I tell you what...
You do this, I can
look the otherway.
Freedom has a cost.
Hey...
You look good... in
your uniform and all.
Why didn't you call?
That's just it... um...
Dennis ran out of minutes
on his phone and...
We're a little short on cash
for the next week and a half.
We appreciate everything
you've done for us
and we're gonna pay you
back, I swear, it's just...
I just need a little
something to get by
until Dennis gets paid
for the accident...
I can't, Ma.
Wait, wait... just hear me,
Just listen, please... please.
Baby, if I don't get a little
money, I ain't gonna eat.
There are food banks, Ma.
Baby please, I just need a
little money to get by.
I can't.
I can let you use my
phone if you want to try
and call someone.
You're gonna do this to me?
You're gonna look down on me?
Judge me?
Huh?
Oh, what, am I a little too
loud for your friends?
Don't you forget, baby,
I've been there since
the beginning, I
know who you are.
Now you might have been fooling
them, but you ain't fooling me,
I know who you are and
I know what you done.
So you'rejust gonna
help Mama out
and we're gonna forget
all about this, right?
Samantha!
Samantha, wait!
You really want
that piece of shit?
I got a 70-inch TV
right over there
that's perfect for gaming.
How much?
15 bucks.
Oh shit...
No! No! Porfavor!
Alex!
What the hell?
What the fuck?
Do you see me?
What is this? What is this?
Who are you?
How are you doing that?
Who are you?
You talking to me?
Alex, what the fuck!
Bama?
Yeah... Bama!
What the fuck is going on?
Open the fucking door!
Come on, man!
Fuck!
What are you doing?
Put the fucking bat down!
Who you yelling at?
Is this a joke?
What?
Is this a fucking joke?
I don't know what the fuck
you're talking about!
My TV!
There's some sort
of surveillance.
Your TV?
What's with all the boxes?
What could they have on you?
Everything's been clean.
She looked like the
chick on "Urban Hope?"
What did she say?
Nothing.
It doesn't make sense.
Maybe there was some sort of
surveillance or something.
That TV come with like
a webcam or something?
No, it didn't come
with a fucking webcam.
You watch "Urban Hope?"
What? No.
Fuck this.
Where you goin'?
Motel.
What about Tommy's?
Hello?
Hey... He awake?
No... no, he's resting
right now...
He had a rough day.
Okay.
I'll tell him you called.
Is this your number?
Okay, thank you.
Have you had any health
problems recently?
Fever, kidney illness,
liver problems?
No.
No drugs?
Anything that might
cause an hallucination?
No.
Tell me about seeing your mother.
How did that make you feel?
She's not my mother.
I don't understand what that
has to do with hallucinations.
Did it bring up the past?
Maybe your time on the street?
The pregnancy?
I'm trying to get to the
heart of this, Samantha.
Hallucinations can be a symptom
of psychotic depression,
even schizophrenia, so we need
to take this thing seriously.
I want you to come in a couple
times a week for a while.
I'm going to hold off on any
anti-psychotics for now,
but I want to put you
on an anti-depressant.
I think it would be a good
idea for you to take some
time off work, and
keep the TV off.
Find some other ways to
keep yourself distracted.
It felt real.
Hi!
How are you today?
Good, you?
Well, it's almost
the end of the day,
so that's always a good thing.
That's good.
What do you have here?
Tim will ring you up.
You look good... in
your uniform and all.
Why didn't you call?
Don't you forget, baby, I've
been there since the beginning,
I know who you are.
Now you might've been fooling
them, but you ain't fooling me.
I know who you are and
I know what you done.
So you'rejust gonna help Mama
out and we're gonna forget
all about this, right?
How are you doing this?
Is this a joke?
You're an actor.
This a joke?
You're David Carranza
from... from the show.
Just stop and you tell
me exactly who you are!
Okay, this isn't funny!
Enough!
Stop!
Tell me who you are!
You play a thief, a cargo
thief on TV named Alex.
You go on heists,
Bama, Gaudy, Tommy...
Tommy's about to get arrested
because he made a deal
with an undercover agent.
Your character's from Guatemala.
Don't...
What do you want?
I watch your show every week.
So I text her back, tell
her I'm going to stop by
while she's bartending
to have a drink.
She says, "that's cool,"
and then I go there and
she's not there, then I call
her and she doesn't pick up.
What?
Don't turn, keep going.
What?
Keep going, don't turn!
Okay... okay!
Don't accelerate.
Shit!
Be cool,
Shit.
This is not good.
Fuck, Tommy!
How'd that happen,
someone rolled on him?
I would have just
pulled right up there.
Funny how you asked
me to stop, right?
You got that sixth sense.
What draws you...
fuels you... consumes you?
There are places in this
world we simply have to go.
Can you hear me?
How did you know?
Know what?
You need to tell me
everything that you know.
Your show's been on four seasons.
Cops... Cops and robbers show,
it started when you
got out of prison.
You, uh, you're the loner of the
group, been trying to get out
of the cartel, but have a
debt, since you were a kid.
Your parents were murdered
during a Civil War.
You were on the streets,
the cartels took you in.
You ran drugs, they
made you fight.
They brought you
across the border.
Who are you?
Who do you think I am?
Tell me!
No, you tell me.
You think I'm someone on a show?
Who?
Tiffany Mualem.
An actor?
What happens?
I'm not doing this!
Hey, you want to figure this
out, you gotta communicate!
What do you know?
You're a paramedic.
Anyone could know that.
You're independent... tough...
your character grew up rough.
A lot of people grow up rough.
You sing, when you're alone.
And you kiss a pendant every
day before you go to work,
like it's a rosary.
You're ashamed of your past
when you were younger.
No one knows.
I don't understand this,
what's happening?
What's your number?
What?
Your number...
Uhh, 30-490-9172.
172?
What the fuck?
Where are you right now?
What?
Where do you live?
Why would I tell you that?
You want to figure this out,
we need to communicate.
Los Perditus.
What's your address?
1246 Franklin.
Apartment?
What are you doing?
Apartment?
Stay there, don't go
anywhere, I'm coming to you.
Come visit us! Planet
Honda, Planet Hyundai!
Fair, fast...
Ah, shit.
What are you doing, Samantha?
Yeah...
This Sam's place?
Sam?
Tiffany?
Tiffany, no.
You got the wrong place.
Hey... hey!
Hey man, I'm not afraid to
call a cop, I will call a cop.
I look bad, but I
think you look worse.
Tell me the one
about the Damn Ham.
I don't want to talk
to you about that...
Come on, I'm dying here.
So there's this really religious
woman and she goes to the deli
to buy dinner for her family
and she sees this butcher
and asks him, "what's that?"
The butcher says, "that there,
ma'am, that's Damn Ham."
And the woman gets offended, she
says, "I'm a very religious"
woman, can you please
watch your language?"
And the butcher says, "no,
no, no, they call it Damn Ham"
because it's fish they
caught at the Dam."
And the woman says,
"Okay, I see, I see,
well, it looks wonderful."
So she goes home and starts to
cook dinner for her family and
her husband asks, "Honey, what
are we having for dinner?"
And she says, "Well,
we're having Damn Ham."
And he says, "Honey!"
You know we don't use that
language in this house."
She says, "No, no, no, no,
they call it Damn Ham because"
it's fish they
caught at the Dam."
He says, "Oh, I see, well,
it smells delicious."
So they sit down at the table
with their two beautiful
children and the
husband asks the wife,
"Can you please pass
some of that Damn Ham?"
And the little boy's
ears light up,
he can't believe
what he's hearing.
The kid says, "Whoa
dad, right on."
Hey mom, why don't you pass
those fucking potatoes?"
Whoa, whoa, easy there!
Fucking potatoes...
that's good stuff.
Are you scared?
Sure, but it's not
in my hands, is it?
You are the bravest
man I've ever met.
And I want to say thank
you for being in my life.
I know what you've
done for me... I know.
And, I want to tell
you that I love you.
There's a light
shining on you, son.
I know you're angry for all
that you've been given,
for all the things you've had
to do, I know you're scared,
but we're tested so that we can
look through the eyes of God
and see in ourselves
what he sees.
Let it go, son.
Get out of that darkness.
Any negative side effects?
No.
Samantha, have you been
taking your anti-depressant?
Yeah.
I need you to follow
your prescription.
I can't treat you
properly otherwise.
No, I've... I've been taking them.
They're really helpful.
Last time we talked,
you'd been experiencing
some unusual things.
Have you had any
more experiences?
Hallucinations?
No, I'm feeling much better.
I'm feeling much, much better.
Where you been?
Around.
I hear you think your
place got tapped?
No.
So you ain't talked to anyone?
That's strange 'cause Tommy
and half the crew got popped.
You know anything about that?
No, you?
Tommy's not gonna talk so the
Dominican job still goes,
and I'm the fucking
lead, you hear me?
You fuck us, and I promise you
there's no place you'll be safe.
You're going to do exactly what
the fuck I want you to do.
Their route's every three
weeks across the border,
landing about ten miles that way.
Two rigs moving construction
gear for a legit company
called Actrom Construction,
but it's not in the freight.
Both tractors have Easter Eggs,
15 to 30 bricks of
coke per truck.
They always have four to six
men, drivers and triggermen.
The way I see it, it
goes down right there.
Quick stop, block, and we
go, two, two, and two.
What kind of heat do
the triggermen use?
Hey, what are you doing?
Nothing, just checking
up on some email.
Have you had to call the police
on any fictional
characters recently?
Oh, here's a thing...
When are you going to
come out with me again?
When you realize you're 30
and living at your mom's.
First of all, 30 is
the new 20, so...
The series finale
of "Thieves and Saints"
is just five days away!
Will Alex make it out alive?
I bet they kill him off.
What?
It's a dark show.
They are not going to give
the audience a happy ending,
that is for sure.
...at I-25 and
Sierra, multiple...
Copy that unit 72,
we are en route.
Alex...
I went and you weren't there.
No, I waited, you never showed.
How long has...
How long has my show been on?
Three years.
Makes you feel naked, you know?
I must be in love with you.
And my mind has created
this elaborate delusion
around that...
I'm so alone and pathetic, I
just willed this to happen.
You don't know me.
We need to meet.
Alex, I don't think
I know, but if we start
at like a common place
and take it from there,
then we can break it down.
But it doesn't make sense.
Either we're crazy or something
much bigger is happening.
Nothing is a miracle.
Not if you look close
enough, nothing.
Meet me at the Millennium Bridge.
Alex!
I can be there in ten minutes.
Look, I have to tell you...
Something's going to go wrong on
your show with your nextjob.
Just meet me at the bridge.
Alex?
Samantha?
Wow, uhh...
What are you doing here?
Como Estas?
I'm just here with my kids,
they're getting ice cream.
Are you waiting for someone?
Just getting out.
Are you meeting someone?
No, no, just getting
some fresh air.
Aah.
It's unfortunate what
happened with Tommy.
You haven't heard?
Someone got to him on the
inside, cut his throat.
There's nothing like
the bustling city
to make you feel small, huh?
It's too bad, he was a good man.
You're a good man too, Alex,
I hope you don't let us down
out there, it would be a shame.
It was nice seeing you,
I wish you a pleasant
rest of your evening.
Thank you.
You're gonna need this.
Your phone.
It's okay...
It's okay, mi amor.
Will Alex make it out alive?
Alex.
You said I shouldn't do this job
something was going to happen,
you mean the cops?
No.
Then what?
Your show is ending.
What?
I know it's crazy, but what I
see here, it's going to end.
You think I'm just going
to disappear or something?
I honestly... I don't know, okay?
But something is
going to go wrong.
How do you know?
I saw a preview.
What the fuck are
you talking about?
Please believe me.
They kill you off,
I don't know...
Who, the Dominicans?
The... the writer, or producer...
This is not a show,
nobody has written me!
But what if it is?
And someone has control
whether you live or die?
You mean God?
Fucking bullshit!
How do you know?
How can you be so sure...
Fuck you! Because only
reality is this shitty!
Because what kind of a cruel
fuck would create this?
For what purpose?
What did I do?
What did I do... I...
This is chaos, this is not
a story, this is chaos.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
There's gotta be something
better to watch on TV than me.
I don't remember things.
What things?
When I was younger, you know?
Like your family?
You see that there?
Yeah.
You have a nice voice...
when you sing.
I don't think this is chaos.
I know pain can be unbearable
sometimes and I don't know why,
but I think you either have to
believe everything is chaos
or everything is a miracle.
This doesn't feel
like chaos to me.
So I'm going to be your
guardian angel here
and tell you, please, just run.
I've seen enough to know.
I just want to be free.
Will you stay with me here,
as long as it... as
long as it holds?
Okay.
Los Perditus, Double Edge Films.
Double Edge Films, how
can I direct your call?
Uh, I just need to
speak to someone about.
"Thieves and Saints," the show.
How can I direct
your call, ma'am?
Just the writer's office, please.
Please hold.
Hello?
Hello, is anyone there?
Can you hear me?
Cell phones, right?
You need to get new service.
It's the trees.
Two for two, two for two.
1,000 yards.
500...
250...
Now!
Get out of the truck!
Got out of the fucking
truck, right fucking now!
Get the fuck out of the truck!
Open the fucking door!
Get the fuck down!
Out of the truck!
Down on yourfucking knees!
Do not fucking move!
Fuck!
What the fuck was that?
Give me a flathead.
Got it!
Get out of there, Alex.
Hey!
Here we go!
It's you.
Hey there...
Morning. Having trouble?
Yeah, everything's fine, we just
had a support latch break on one
of our trailers so we have to
swap out some of our load.
Well, that's a hassle.
Where you headed on this road?
Well, we were trying to
get to Salida by eight,
but I don't think
that's going to happen.
We just pulled off here.
We're going fishing!
Are you?
What are you guys baiting today?
Well, it's going to be their
first time out on the lake,
my guess is we'll
see some blue gill.
Hoping to catch a muskie
if the day goes good.
Well, I am jealous for you kids.
Yeah, I haven't been out in
a while and I can tell you
nothing sounds better
than a day on the water.
No!
Stop! Stop!
Stop!
Don't you do it!
Whoa...
Chill, Alex!
Fucking chill, Alex!
Draw down.
Don't... please.
Draw down!
No...
Alex, can you hear me?
You have to get to the hospital.
Alex, do you hear me?
I hear you, Sam.
Listen to me, okay, you're
going to bleed to death
if you don't get to the
hospital right now.
They'll find me there.
Maybe you're right, if
it's meant to be...
Damn it, you call an
ambulance right now!
You shouldn't be ashamed to sing.
Alex, please...
Damn it, no.
Keep pressure on it!
You have to stay sitting
up, don't lie down.
I want you to know, I know...
But you were just a kid.
You're not your past,
you're not that.
You're beautiful.
Alex, please...
Okay... Okay...
Will you hum a melody with me?
It goes like this...
Alex...
No Alex, stay awake please...
Alex, don't, no... stay awake.
Please don't leave me.
Alex...
Sam!
I'm so glad I found you.
I've been trying to
contact you all morning.
What are you doing here?
Your mother is in the hospital,
she's had an accident.
What?
I've been trying
to find you, Sam.
Who are you?
Sam, are you feeling okay?
She's dying, Sam.
She's been asking for you.
Sam!
How are you this morning?
Good.
Oh, can I help you?
How are you this morning?
Oh, can I help you?
How are you this morning?
Is anyone here?
Do you have an appointment?
No...
Oh, can I help you?
The bleeding stops.
Oh shit!
Shit...
I need you to be calm now, Sam.
We're all here to help you.
You've been experiencing
severe psychotic episodes,
we need to get you
to a safe place.
I need you to hand me
those papers, Sam.
Can you do that for me?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, ma'am, I'm
going to need you to stop.
We're going to get you
some proper help.
Sam, come on!
Open the door!
Open the door, Sam!
Open the door!
Stop!
No.
And so...
All that was left was the
man and the devil...
trapped in the writer's creation.
It was then the man
realized, he was no man,
but a thing...
written...
by a malevolent God.
The only choice that
could truly be his own
would be to take his own life.
But the devil was no puppet
and the writerwould
not write him
and if the writer would
trap him in this house,
the devil would tear
the house down!
What's shakin', Francois?
Blub, blub, blub... blub.
Noodles, you make
my life amazing...
Broccoli!
Okay...
I need you to be calm now, Sam,
we're all here to help you.
I need you to hand me
those papers, Sam.
Can you do that for me?
Stop!
I know you're there!
Say something!
You let me out...
You don't control me.
Let me out!
There are food banks, Ma.
Baby please, I just need a
little money to get by...
I can't...
I can let you use my
phone if you want to try
and call someone.
Honey, what's your name?
Julia.
Julia?
Okay Julia, I know you're
scared, but I need you to,
I need you to be a hero.
Julia?
Julia...
Can you be my hero?
Let me out!
Fuck you!
You left me there!
You left me!
You fucking left me there...
You...
Fucking...
Fucking left me!
You fucking left me there.
You left me... you left me.
You fucking left me there.
You left me...
Are you scared?
Sure, but it's not
in my hands, is it?
There's a light
shining on you, son.
I know you're angry for all
that you've been given,
for all the things
you've had to do.
I...I know you're scared...
but we're tested so that we can
look through the eyes of God
and see in ourselves
what he sees.
Aydame...
Whoa! We got a fire!
Lock it up!
Lock it up now!
Two of three... Two out of three!
What the fuck?
Hey, mother fucker!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Calm down! Get in the cab!
Go with them!
Nine lives, monje.
So we clean?
Yeah, we only got two.
No, no, you did good.
That's a good score.
There's ten.
We'll see what the numbers say.
Probably another 200 percent.
Give us a minute?
Look into those papers?
You don't want to do this.
He's got people everywhere.
He will find you.
Look, just keep your
head down, do your time.
I've done my time.
Hey, I get that, but
you keep him happy,
you'll keep earning...
Tommy.
Alright.
My guy says that it takes a
week for a passport... 5K.
7K if you want a
birth certificate.
Okay.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Alright, just hit me up
in a couple of days.
Yeah.
No cops yet... figures.
Umm... give them a minute.
We'll just start staging
until they get here.
Sam!
Shit!
Hi honey, can we come in?
My mom!
She...
Wake up, hey...
You're okay... You're okay...
No, no, she's fine, she's
fine, she just fell down.
It's fine, it's fine,
man, it's cool.
We just got a call, we got
to come check it out.
Miss, miss, can you hear me?
You guys need to go, man.
Take it easy, have a seat.
I don't want to sit down...
She's fine, man.
Hon, can you tell
me what happened?
You guys need to go!
You need to go, man!
Take it easy, man.
- You need to go!
- It's alright.
She's alright though.
You don't have to push.
I'm gonna make sure.
Hey, get the fuck
out of here, man!
Sir, stop right there!
Stop right there, sir!
Sir!
You get the fuck out of my house!
James? James?
Honey, what's your name?
Julia.
Julia?
Okay Julia, I know you're
scared, but I need you,
I need you to be a hero.
Julia? Julia...
Can you be my hero?
Okay.
I need you to hold your hands on
your mom's head like this, okay?
And I want you to look
up there at the clock
and I want you to count
the seconds for me, okay?
Okay, don't look down here,
I want you to stay looking
at the clock and you
count the seconds.
Okay, you counting?
Yeah.
Okay, I don't hear you.
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17,
18, 19, 20, 21, 22...
There we go... There we go.
Good, okay.
You did good, Julia, come here.
It can feel futile, you know?
Just seeing pain every day...
starts to make things
feel meaningless.
I tell myself I know
it's not meaningless.
I know it's not.
I just want to change
things, make it all better.
What things?
Just...
The inevitable?
You wish you could
have stopped things?
Things you regret?
Do you want to talk about that?
Not really.
I think you've been doing
a lot better lately.
You've been staying busy,
keeping yourself distracted.
You're still.
You've got to work on that.
Shit!
Fuck!
My mom... she...
Wake up!
Hey, you're okay!
No, no, she's fine,
she just fell down...
It's fine, we got a call,
we gotta come check it out.
Miss, miss, can you hear me?
Sir, stop right there!
Stop right there!
Stop right there, sir!
You get the fuck out of my house!
Julia, can you be my hero?
Okay.
...starts to make things feel
meaningless... l tell myself,
I know it's not meaningless...
I know it's not.
I just want to change
things, make it all better.
What's shakin', Francois?
Blub, blub, blub, blub.
Noodles, you make
my life amazing...
Broccoli!
Okay.
You're telling me you've had
these guys wired for eight weeks
and you don't know where
or who they're gonna hit?
We need more time, the orders
are coming across the border...
Tell your guys to make the deal.
They take the bait,
we move in on it.
Lock it up!
Lock it up now!
No, what are you doing?
Look into those papers?
You don't want to do this,
he's got people everywhere,
he will find you.
Look, just keep your
head down, do your time.
I've done my time.
Yeah, I get that but...
Oh, son of a bitch...
You got it?
Yeah.
They tell me a bunch of designer
clothes got dropped off
yesterday, you know about that?
You think I wear
designer clothes?
What's going on over here?
Philanthropy wasn't paying so
I started slinging that junk.
Won't get you high, but the
diarrhea is incredible!
I'm burning up here, wanna
give me some of that?
Don't get all romancy on me
there, Carla gets jealous.
Don't flatter yourself, I
could do a lot better.
Could you? Where
is she then, huh?
I don't have any time.
Bullshit.
Hey, what are you doing?
My company's not
good enough for you?
Well, unless you want to play
a little Debussy yourself...
I dug up that fiddle I've been
holding for you the other day.
You take it with you,
I've had it long enough.
I can't...
I'm leaving town.
Are you?
Where are you going?
I'm just getting
free of everything.
Is that gonna be safe?
I got it worked out.
Well, she belongs with you.
Don't do this to him...
Don't do this, you fuck!
Not this time...
He's been through enough.
You fuck!
Yeah?
I'm calling about the papers.
Yeah, we're set, meet
me here at 10:00.
There's no need to haggle...
We'll give you our
lowest price up front!
And all vehicles are backed
by Planet's five day,
250-mile money back guarantee!
Por favor! Por favor no!
Aydame... Aydame...
What the fuck?
Hello?
...each with a story to tell...
Introducing the Lost and Found
Collection from Sofa Mart.
Intricate detail...
Ed Henry was very clever
about this, by the way...
El nmero...
It had to be some
kind of prank, right?
Sam, it was a prank.
You got goofed, and then
you called the police...
You called the police, right?
Yeah.
Ha! Shit!
Umm... did they, you know,
take you seriously?
Doesn't matter... l just...
Okay, alright, I'm sorry.
Alright, go ahead, please.
I just feel like I'm not right
in the head or something.
Hey, hey, you're not alone, okay?
I'm here if you ever
want to talk, or...
James!
Hey, hey... you!
What are you doing?
What are you doing, girl?
You totally missed Chad's party!
No, I was there, I just...
I had to come late.
Alex, hace aos.
You've been doing good work.
Tommy tell you how much
we cleared on Drake?
Was a good score.
How you been?
You been good?
Yeah.
Good... that's good.
We got something new...
something big.
Los Dominicanos.
Narcotics.
I don't do that anymore.
Talk to Desiderio, my
deal is no weapons.
Estimated 2.5, maybe three.
But we're going to have
to get our hands dirty.
Dirty hands means doing time.
I'm not going back.
Desi know about this?
The Dominicans?
You running from your debt?
Desi know about this?
He doesn't need to know.
He's happy as long as
you're earning, no?
I tell you what...
You do this, I can
look the otherway.
Freedom has a cost.
Hey...
You look good... in
your uniform and all.
Why didn't you call?
That's just it... um...
Dennis ran out of minutes
on his phone and...
We're a little short on cash
for the next week and a half.
We appreciate everything
you've done for us
and we're gonna pay you
back, I swear, it's just...
I just need a little
something to get by
until Dennis gets paid
for the accident...
I can't, Ma.
Wait, wait... just hear me,
Just listen, please... please.
Baby, if I don't get a little
money, I ain't gonna eat.
There are food banks, Ma.
Baby please, I just need a
little money to get by.
I can't.
I can let you use my
phone if you want to try
and call someone.
You're gonna do this to me?
You're gonna look down on me?
Judge me?
Huh?
Oh, what, am I a little too
loud for your friends?
Don't you forget, baby,
I've been there since
the beginning, I
know who you are.
Now you might have been fooling
them, but you ain't fooling me,
I know who you are and
I know what you done.
So you'rejust gonna
help Mama out
and we're gonna forget
all about this, right?
Samantha!
Samantha, wait!
You really want
that piece of shit?
I got a 70-inch TV
right over there
that's perfect for gaming.
How much?
15 bucks.
Oh shit...
No! No! Porfavor!
Alex!
What the hell?
What the fuck?
Do you see me?
What is this? What is this?
Who are you?
How are you doing that?
Who are you?
You talking to me?
Alex, what the fuck!
Bama?
Yeah... Bama!
What the fuck is going on?
Open the fucking door!
Come on, man!
Fuck!
What are you doing?
Put the fucking bat down!
Who you yelling at?
Is this a joke?
What?
Is this a fucking joke?
I don't know what the fuck
you're talking about!
My TV!
There's some sort
of surveillance.
Your TV?
What's with all the boxes?
What could they have on you?
Everything's been clean.
She looked like the
chick on "Urban Hope?"
What did she say?
Nothing.
It doesn't make sense.
Maybe there was some sort of
surveillance or something.
That TV come with like
a webcam or something?
No, it didn't come
with a fucking webcam.
You watch "Urban Hope?"
What? No.
Fuck this.
Where you goin'?
Motel.
What about Tommy's?
Hello?
Hey... He awake?
No... no, he's resting
right now...
He had a rough day.
Okay.
I'll tell him you called.
Is this your number?
Okay, thank you.
Have you had any health
problems recently?
Fever, kidney illness,
liver problems?
No.
No drugs?
Anything that might
cause an hallucination?
No.
Tell me about seeing your mother.
How did that make you feel?
She's not my mother.
I don't understand what that
has to do with hallucinations.
Did it bring up the past?
Maybe your time on the street?
The pregnancy?
I'm trying to get to the
heart of this, Samantha.
Hallucinations can be a symptom
of psychotic depression,
even schizophrenia, so we need
to take this thing seriously.
I want you to come in a couple
times a week for a while.
I'm going to hold off on any
anti-psychotics for now,
but I want to put you
on an anti-depressant.
I think it would be a good
idea for you to take some
time off work, and
keep the TV off.
Find some other ways to
keep yourself distracted.
It felt real.
Hi!
How are you today?
Good, you?
Well, it's almost
the end of the day,
so that's always a good thing.
That's good.
What do you have here?
Tim will ring you up.
You look good... in
your uniform and all.
Why didn't you call?
Don't you forget, baby, I've
been there since the beginning,
I know who you are.
Now you might've been fooling
them, but you ain't fooling me.
I know who you are and
I know what you done.
So you'rejust gonna help Mama
out and we're gonna forget
all about this, right?
How are you doing this?
Is this a joke?
You're an actor.
This a joke?
You're David Carranza
from... from the show.
Just stop and you tell
me exactly who you are!
Okay, this isn't funny!
Enough!
Stop!
Tell me who you are!
You play a thief, a cargo
thief on TV named Alex.
You go on heists,
Bama, Gaudy, Tommy...
Tommy's about to get arrested
because he made a deal
with an undercover agent.
Your character's from Guatemala.
Don't...
What do you want?
I watch your show every week.
So I text her back, tell
her I'm going to stop by
while she's bartending
to have a drink.
She says, "that's cool,"
and then I go there and
she's not there, then I call
her and she doesn't pick up.
What?
Don't turn, keep going.
What?
Keep going, don't turn!
Okay... okay!
Don't accelerate.
Shit!
Be cool,
Shit.
This is not good.
Fuck, Tommy!
How'd that happen,
someone rolled on him?
I would have just
pulled right up there.
Funny how you asked
me to stop, right?
You got that sixth sense.
What draws you...
fuels you... consumes you?
There are places in this
world we simply have to go.
Can you hear me?
How did you know?
Know what?
You need to tell me
everything that you know.
Your show's been on four seasons.
Cops... Cops and robbers show,
it started when you
got out of prison.
You, uh, you're the loner of the
group, been trying to get out
of the cartel, but have a
debt, since you were a kid.
Your parents were murdered
during a Civil War.
You were on the streets,
the cartels took you in.
You ran drugs, they
made you fight.
They brought you
across the border.
Who are you?
Who do you think I am?
Tell me!
No, you tell me.
You think I'm someone on a show?
Who?
Tiffany Mualem.
An actor?
What happens?
I'm not doing this!
Hey, you want to figure this
out, you gotta communicate!
What do you know?
You're a paramedic.
Anyone could know that.
You're independent... tough...
your character grew up rough.
A lot of people grow up rough.
You sing, when you're alone.
And you kiss a pendant every
day before you go to work,
like it's a rosary.
You're ashamed of your past
when you were younger.
No one knows.
I don't understand this,
what's happening?
What's your number?
What?
Your number...
Uhh, 30-490-9172.
172?
What the fuck?
Where are you right now?
What?
Where do you live?
Why would I tell you that?
You want to figure this out,
we need to communicate.
Los Perditus.
What's your address?
1246 Franklin.
Apartment?
What are you doing?
Apartment?
Stay there, don't go
anywhere, I'm coming to you.
Come visit us! Planet
Honda, Planet Hyundai!
Fair, fast...
Ah, shit.
What are you doing, Samantha?
Yeah...
This Sam's place?
Sam?
Tiffany?
Tiffany, no.
You got the wrong place.
Hey... hey!
Hey man, I'm not afraid to
call a cop, I will call a cop.
I look bad, but I
think you look worse.
Tell me the one
about the Damn Ham.
I don't want to talk
to you about that...
Come on, I'm dying here.
So there's this really religious
woman and she goes to the deli
to buy dinner for her family
and she sees this butcher
and asks him, "what's that?"
The butcher says, "that there,
ma'am, that's Damn Ham."
And the woman gets offended, she
says, "I'm a very religious"
woman, can you please
watch your language?"
And the butcher says, "no,
no, no, they call it Damn Ham"
because it's fish they
caught at the Dam."
And the woman says,
"Okay, I see, I see,
well, it looks wonderful."
So she goes home and starts to
cook dinner for her family and
her husband asks, "Honey, what
are we having for dinner?"
And she says, "Well,
we're having Damn Ham."
And he says, "Honey!"
You know we don't use that
language in this house."
She says, "No, no, no, no,
they call it Damn Ham because"
it's fish they
caught at the Dam."
He says, "Oh, I see, well,
it smells delicious."
So they sit down at the table
with their two beautiful
children and the
husband asks the wife,
"Can you please pass
some of that Damn Ham?"
And the little boy's
ears light up,
he can't believe
what he's hearing.
The kid says, "Whoa
dad, right on."
Hey mom, why don't you pass
those fucking potatoes?"
Whoa, whoa, easy there!
Fucking potatoes...
that's good stuff.
Are you scared?
Sure, but it's not
in my hands, is it?
You are the bravest
man I've ever met.
And I want to say thank
you for being in my life.
I know what you've
done for me... I know.
And, I want to tell
you that I love you.
There's a light
shining on you, son.
I know you're angry for all
that you've been given,
for all the things you've had
to do, I know you're scared,
but we're tested so that we can
look through the eyes of God
and see in ourselves
what he sees.
Let it go, son.
Get out of that darkness.
Any negative side effects?
No.
Samantha, have you been
taking your anti-depressant?
Yeah.
I need you to follow
your prescription.
I can't treat you
properly otherwise.
No, I've... I've been taking them.
They're really helpful.
Last time we talked,
you'd been experiencing
some unusual things.
Have you had any
more experiences?
Hallucinations?
No, I'm feeling much better.
I'm feeling much, much better.
Where you been?
Around.
I hear you think your
place got tapped?
No.
So you ain't talked to anyone?
That's strange 'cause Tommy
and half the crew got popped.
You know anything about that?
No, you?
Tommy's not gonna talk so the
Dominican job still goes,
and I'm the fucking
lead, you hear me?
You fuck us, and I promise you
there's no place you'll be safe.
You're going to do exactly what
the fuck I want you to do.
Their route's every three
weeks across the border,
landing about ten miles that way.
Two rigs moving construction
gear for a legit company
called Actrom Construction,
but it's not in the freight.
Both tractors have Easter Eggs,
15 to 30 bricks of
coke per truck.
They always have four to six
men, drivers and triggermen.
The way I see it, it
goes down right there.
Quick stop, block, and we
go, two, two, and two.
What kind of heat do
the triggermen use?
Hey, what are you doing?
Nothing, just checking
up on some email.
Have you had to call the police
on any fictional
characters recently?
Oh, here's a thing...
When are you going to
come out with me again?
When you realize you're 30
and living at your mom's.
First of all, 30 is
the new 20, so...
The series finale
of "Thieves and Saints"
is just five days away!
Will Alex make it out alive?
I bet they kill him off.
What?
It's a dark show.
They are not going to give
the audience a happy ending,
that is for sure.
...at I-25 and
Sierra, multiple...
Copy that unit 72,
we are en route.
Alex...
I went and you weren't there.
No, I waited, you never showed.
How long has...
How long has my show been on?
Three years.
Makes you feel naked, you know?
I must be in love with you.
And my mind has created
this elaborate delusion
around that...
I'm so alone and pathetic, I
just willed this to happen.
You don't know me.
We need to meet.
Alex, I don't think
I know, but if we start
at like a common place
and take it from there,
then we can break it down.
But it doesn't make sense.
Either we're crazy or something
much bigger is happening.
Nothing is a miracle.
Not if you look close
enough, nothing.
Meet me at the Millennium Bridge.
Alex!
I can be there in ten minutes.
Look, I have to tell you...
Something's going to go wrong on
your show with your nextjob.
Just meet me at the bridge.
Alex?
Samantha?
Wow, uhh...
What are you doing here?
Como Estas?
I'm just here with my kids,
they're getting ice cream.
Are you waiting for someone?
Just getting out.
Are you meeting someone?
No, no, just getting
some fresh air.
Aah.
It's unfortunate what
happened with Tommy.
You haven't heard?
Someone got to him on the
inside, cut his throat.
There's nothing like
the bustling city
to make you feel small, huh?
It's too bad, he was a good man.
You're a good man too, Alex,
I hope you don't let us down
out there, it would be a shame.
It was nice seeing you,
I wish you a pleasant
rest of your evening.
Thank you.
You're gonna need this.
Your phone.
It's okay...
It's okay, mi amor.
Will Alex make it out alive?
Alex.
You said I shouldn't do this job
something was going to happen,
you mean the cops?
No.
Then what?
Your show is ending.
What?
I know it's crazy, but what I
see here, it's going to end.
You think I'm just going
to disappear or something?
I honestly... I don't know, okay?
But something is
going to go wrong.
How do you know?
I saw a preview.
What the fuck are
you talking about?
Please believe me.
They kill you off,
I don't know...
Who, the Dominicans?
The... the writer, or producer...
This is not a show,
nobody has written me!
But what if it is?
And someone has control
whether you live or die?
You mean God?
Fucking bullshit!
How do you know?
How can you be so sure...
Fuck you! Because only
reality is this shitty!
Because what kind of a cruel
fuck would create this?
For what purpose?
What did I do?
What did I do... I...
This is chaos, this is not
a story, this is chaos.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
There's gotta be something
better to watch on TV than me.
I don't remember things.
What things?
When I was younger, you know?
Like your family?
You see that there?
Yeah.
You have a nice voice...
when you sing.
I don't think this is chaos.
I know pain can be unbearable
sometimes and I don't know why,
but I think you either have to
believe everything is chaos
or everything is a miracle.
This doesn't feel
like chaos to me.
So I'm going to be your
guardian angel here
and tell you, please, just run.
I've seen enough to know.
I just want to be free.
Will you stay with me here,
as long as it... as
long as it holds?
Okay.
Los Perditus, Double Edge Films.
Double Edge Films, how
can I direct your call?
Uh, I just need to
speak to someone about.
"Thieves and Saints," the show.
How can I direct
your call, ma'am?
Just the writer's office, please.
Please hold.
Hello?
Hello, is anyone there?
Can you hear me?
Cell phones, right?
You need to get new service.
It's the trees.
Two for two, two for two.
1,000 yards.
500...
250...
Now!
Get out of the truck!
Got out of the fucking
truck, right fucking now!
Get the fuck out of the truck!
Open the fucking door!
Get the fuck down!
Out of the truck!
Down on yourfucking knees!
Do not fucking move!
Fuck!
What the fuck was that?
Give me a flathead.
Got it!
Get out of there, Alex.
Hey!
Here we go!
It's you.
Hey there...
Morning. Having trouble?
Yeah, everything's fine, we just
had a support latch break on one
of our trailers so we have to
swap out some of our load.
Well, that's a hassle.
Where you headed on this road?
Well, we were trying to
get to Salida by eight,
but I don't think
that's going to happen.
We just pulled off here.
We're going fishing!
Are you?
What are you guys baiting today?
Well, it's going to be their
first time out on the lake,
my guess is we'll
see some blue gill.
Hoping to catch a muskie
if the day goes good.
Well, I am jealous for you kids.
Yeah, I haven't been out in
a while and I can tell you
nothing sounds better
than a day on the water.
No!
Stop! Stop!
Stop!
Don't you do it!
Whoa...
Chill, Alex!
Fucking chill, Alex!
Draw down.
Don't... please.
Draw down!
No...
Alex, can you hear me?
You have to get to the hospital.
Alex, do you hear me?
I hear you, Sam.
Listen to me, okay, you're
going to bleed to death
if you don't get to the
hospital right now.
They'll find me there.
Maybe you're right, if
it's meant to be...
Damn it, you call an
ambulance right now!
You shouldn't be ashamed to sing.
Alex, please...
Damn it, no.
Keep pressure on it!
You have to stay sitting
up, don't lie down.
I want you to know, I know...
But you were just a kid.
You're not your past,
you're not that.
You're beautiful.
Alex, please...
Okay... Okay...
Will you hum a melody with me?
It goes like this...
Alex...
No Alex, stay awake please...
Alex, don't, no... stay awake.
Please don't leave me.
Alex...
Sam!
I'm so glad I found you.
I've been trying to
contact you all morning.
What are you doing here?
Your mother is in the hospital,
she's had an accident.
What?
I've been trying
to find you, Sam.
Who are you?
Sam, are you feeling okay?
She's dying, Sam.
She's been asking for you.
Sam!
How are you this morning?
Good.
Oh, can I help you?
How are you this morning?
Oh, can I help you?
How are you this morning?
Is anyone here?
Do you have an appointment?
No...
Oh, can I help you?
The bleeding stops.
Oh shit!
Shit...
I need you to be calm now, Sam.
We're all here to help you.
You've been experiencing
severe psychotic episodes,
we need to get you
to a safe place.
I need you to hand me
those papers, Sam.
Can you do that for me?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, ma'am, I'm
going to need you to stop.
We're going to get you
some proper help.
Sam, come on!
Open the door!
Open the door, Sam!
Open the door!
Stop!
No.
And so...
All that was left was the
man and the devil...
trapped in the writer's creation.
It was then the man
realized, he was no man,
but a thing...
written...
by a malevolent God.
The only choice that
could truly be his own
would be to take his own life.
But the devil was no puppet
and the writerwould
not write him
and if the writer would
trap him in this house,
the devil would tear
the house down!
What's shakin', Francois?
Blub, blub, blub... blub.
Noodles, you make
my life amazing...
Broccoli!
Okay...
I need you to be calm now, Sam,
we're all here to help you.
I need you to hand me
those papers, Sam.
Can you do that for me?
Stop!
I know you're there!
Say something!
You let me out...
You don't control me.
Let me out!
There are food banks, Ma.
Baby please, I just need a
little money to get by...
I can't...
I can let you use my
phone if you want to try
and call someone.
Honey, what's your name?
Julia.
Julia?
Okay Julia, I know you're
scared, but I need you to,
I need you to be a hero.
Julia?
Julia...
Can you be my hero?
Let me out!
Fuck you!
You left me there!
You left me!
You fucking left me there...
You...
Fucking...
Fucking left me!
You fucking left me there.
You left me... you left me.
You fucking left me there.
You left me...
Are you scared?
Sure, but it's not
in my hands, is it?
There's a light
shining on you, son.
I know you're angry for all
that you've been given,
for all the things
you've had to do.
I...I know you're scared...
but we're tested so that we can
look through the eyes of God
and see in ourselves
what he sees.
