Rendezvous with Death
1 Previously on Ice Are you seriously saying no to me? We may not be ready to be partners yet, Cameron, but you really don't want me as your enemy.
[CAM.]
: I killed your brother with my own hands.
If you take out divorce proceedings, I will kill you.
You really shouldn't have come here, Malcolm.
Get the fuck inside.
[PERCY.]
: You need more than money to move goods.
You need contacts, connections.
A network.
[FREDDY.]
: The Anastasia diamond.
We're gonna sell it.
I can cut our rough to match it.
Fuck yes.
[CAM, READING.]
: "I have a rendezvous with Death "at some disputed barricade, "when spring comes back with rustling shade, and diamond-dust fills the air" "I have a rendezvous with Death when spring brings back blue days so fair" [HORNS HONKING, BODY CRASHING, TIRES SQUEALING.]
"It may be God will take my hand "and lead me to His promised land "and close my eyes and quench my breath.
"It may be I shall pass him still "and have a rendezvous with Death "on some scarred slope of battered hill "when spring comes round again this year and the first meadow-flowers appear" [GROANS.]
Come on.
Are you fucking crazy? Go on, pull the trigger.
Pull the fuckin' trigger, it's the last chance you're gonna get.
[CAM.]
: "God knows 'twere better to be deep, "pillowed in silk and scented down "Where love throbs out in blissful sleep "Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath where hushed awakenings are dear" Get the fuck off me! No! I helped you build this place, turn it into a fuckin' business! Something more than just a mom and pop fuckin' hole-in-the-wall! You don't do nothing for anybody but yourself! You ungrateful fuckin' piece of shit! [CAM.]
: "But I have a rendezvous with Death "at midnight in some flaming town "when spring trips north again this year "and I to my pledged word am true I shall not fail my rendezvous.
" [.]
How long were you married? What? You and Mrs.
Rose.
Oh.
26 years.
Is there anything special you'd like her to wear? No.
You've selected the natural pine.
Excellent choice.
Thank you.
She'll be laid to rest at Mount Moriah in the Green family plot.
Yeah.
When would you like the announcement to go out? No, no.
No announcement.
I assume the family will want to pay their respects.
My dad was the biggest cunt in East London.
He was a thief, a drunk, a mean son-of-a-bitch.
Came downstairs for school, and there he was in the kitchen, you know? Brains all over the fuckin' floor.
No note.
No apology.
No fuckin' money in the bank account.
You know what he left us? He left us a fuckin' poem about meeting death.
What a fucking coward.
These people do not deserve respect, none of 'em.
You stick her in the ground.
Wow What? It's just nice having you around.
You know, seeing you guys talk, get along.
I know it's only for a few days, but it's still nice.
[SIGHING.]
Oh, my God Apparently, she doesn't know that I slept in the basement last night.
Jake Yes? How much longer do you think that you and Freddy are going to be here? I don't I don't know, okay? Just ask Freddy, please, because I don't know.
Okay.
But don't forget that I have a trunk show today, and the renovations start tomorrow.
I hope he's done soon.
I really do.
[BASEMENT DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES.]
[FOOTSTEPS DESCENDING STAIRS.]
It does not look like you're working.
You can't just jump into something like this, Jake, okay? You you gotta see it before you make the first cut.
Ah, that's what you were doing, you were visualizing the whole Yeah, something like that.
Hey, you know what, don't fuck with my process.
What do you want? Nothing, I'm just, I'm going to the conference thing to sign us up.
Yeah? All right.
All right, you got this, bud.
Hey, Jake? Yeah? I mean, you're sure we shouldn't just go to Laser Mike's and have his stupid robot cut it, right? Freddy Freddy I'm sure, but are you sure? I mean, come on, man, this was your idea.
Yeah, I know, I know.
Believe me, it would fucking kill me, but, you know, it's a guaranteed $12, $15 million, whatever, that's a lot of money.
Yeah, sure.
And how much if you cut it? For the Anastasia? Come on 200 million, maybe more.
Can you? Can you cut it? Fuck, yeah.
I told you I could cut it.
Yeah, I'm just What? What is it? You know, I haven't cut a stone sober since I was, like, 14 years old.
No Give or take.
Yeah, I used to be doing lines in Alexi's parents' basement, and then I'd come back here, and, bam, bam, bam, I'd be in the zone.
Yeah.
Can you do it sober, though? Yes, I can cut it sober.
I'm just talking.
I'm just, you know thinking about Rafa's family, and everything we're trying to do here, one little miscalculation, and If that's all it is, hey, look, you got this.
Just relax, okay? Yeah.
Man, I swear to God, you're gonna give me a heart attack.
Hey, look, do not actually cut it, not until you're sure.
Okay? I know.
Get the fuck outta here, I know what I'm doing.
Jesus [SNIFFS.]
[WINCING.]
So, what the fuck am I supposed to do with you? Get me a drink.
Please.
What are the pills? I thought you could use something stronger than aspirin.
I don't need them.
What would make me feel better is you sitting right here, and us getting to know each other.
I feel sad for the type of woman that that would work on.
Hmm Take those, Malcolm.
The shower is over there, and Hilda has cleaned your clothes, and you'll find them hanging in the closet.
[DOORBELL BUZZES.]
[SIGHS.]
This ain't a good time.
No? I just wanted to do some shopping, Cam.
Please? Maybe use the family discount? For old time's sake, you know? So, what are you looking for? You looking for something, uh, special? Hmm.
6.
54 carat, Asscher cut, diamond stud.
Well, that's lovely, but I ain't got it.
Hmm, are you sure about that? If you've got something to say, fucking say it.
When I caught Malcolm in my hotel room yesterday, he had one just like that, and it's fucking beautiful.
And I should know, I fucking bought it in Tel Aviv last year.
It was hand-crafted.
It's just stunning, Cam, and you stole it, along with everything else in my fucking store.
You know, whoever robbed your store, you oughtta be fucking grateful.
Is that right? So I should be thanking you, hmm? No, the government wanker who, uh, who took what your father bled and died for, you know, and then Robin-fuckin'-Hood comes along, and everything's right? So, yeah, I think that deserves a thank you.
If that's what happened.
You want me dead, old man! [GUNS COCKING, CHAIRS CLATTER.]
You do it yourself, Cam.
Whoa, whoa, not today.
Nobody else fucking dies today.
Not today.
Now you've had your say, get the fuck out of my store.
Next time you cross my path, or your son, it'll be the last time.
Find my son.
Find my fucking son! Hungry? Yeah.
Very.
So why exactly did you turn up to my door, Malcolm Tobias Rose? [CHUCKLES.]
You think you know me? Malcolm Rose, only son of Cameron Rose and Bella Davies.
One of the best heist-men in London, although your methods are, to say the least, a little messy.
I always get the job done.
Hmm, not always.
Two years in Wandsworth Prison.
Your best friend ratted you out.
But after you were released, he disappeared, Tragic.
Never seen of again.
Well, I hear Femi's family is worried sick.
Hasn't been seen since your little boat ride.
Touché.
Seems we both hate disloyalty, doesn't it? You know, there was a time when I could have used someone like you.
Use me now.
Hmm, no, I said there could have been a time.
Not anymore.
Hmm.
Let's take a ride.
I have to be at the office, darling That can wait.
[.]
You'll be glad you did.
I've got some things I'm working out Doing my best for freakin' out Should I even keep trying? Am I the only one that feels The world is stepping on my heels Just trying to keep myself alive Sticks and stones may break my Hey, a little help? Thanks.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Fuck it.
Hey.
Hey, Freddy.
This This is all you? "Saule Vert?" [CHUCKLES.]
Yeah.
Wow.
H-How did you make this happen? I got a little help from my family.
Your family? Yeah.
I kind of had to eat shit, but, you know, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, right? That's right.
Um Okay How's it going down there? Yeah, good, fine.
Yeah, sorry.
I'll be out of your hair real quick, I promise.
I'm just, you know, I'm almost there, I'm almost there.
Um, hey, I was wondering, could I borrow your your old car? I've got to run some errands.
Only if it's okay.
It's okay.
Thank you.
Okay.
Um, oh, hey Good shit.
Really.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you.
[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING.]
Ladies, how are you? Can I get you another glass of wine? Uh, no, thank you, I'm fine.
Okay.
[WHISPERS.]
How's it going? Okay [CORI.]
: Ava I dare say we have a problem.
Oh, there's no problem.
Marsha needs you to order another piece just like this one.
That is a Dashiell Holland, it's one of a kind.
Perfect, then it's settled.
I saw it first.
That only counts if you're six years old.
Ava Green, meet Sydney Foular and Marsha Roberts.
They're usually best friends.
[BOTH CHUCKLING MIRTHLESSLY.]
Tell me, Ava, how much is this little trinket? 70,000.
I'll give you 75,000.
Okay, make it 80.
Marsha, you're embarrassing yourself.
This isn't an auction.
Okay, ladies I have an idea.
Hand me the Oleman.
I have this amazing piece.
White gold.
24 fire red diamonds.
Each one carat, each hand-cut, and set by Mars Oleman.
You can both have an original.
I'll take it.
How about this.
I'll meet your asking price for both pieces, and I'll set you up with Emily Duran.
The actress Emily Duran? You know her? I certainly hope so.
I'm married to her father.
Wife number four, the new and improved model.
Emily needs a necklace for the ANA's red carpet on Saturday.
You'd be perfect.
Sold.
[GIGGLES.]
I just love it when she's angry.
Do you take black? It's my favorite color.
I like this one, Cori.
Keep her.
[QUIETLY.]
Okay, sold.
There you go.
That's her card.
She'll get you all sorted out.
Thank you.
You said you wanted to meet Emily's stepmother, you met her.
We girls take care of each other.
Okay.
Pick something nice out for yourself.
[CELL PHONE RINGS.]
This is Ava Green.
Hi, Ms.
Green, it's Susan Bryant at Clearview.
Uh, yes, how can I help you? I'm sorry to bother you, but Ms.
Rose asked us to send her belongings to your home.
I just need an address.
Oh, I, um, I believe there's been some sort of mistake.
Sarah's decided to stay at the facility for a few more days.
I'm so sorry.
Were you not informed? Someone was supposed to call you.
About what? Ms.
Green, there's no easy way to say this.
Sarah's passed away.
Last night, she killed herself.
[JAUNTILY KNOCKING ON GLASS.]
Ramona, Ramona How can I help you, Jake? I'd like to reserve our spot at the expo this year.
Corner booth, second row, like always.
And what company will you be listing? Huh Let's go with Green & Green Jewelers.
I was under the impression that Green & Green had dissolved.
Well, you'd be wrong.
Not according to the government.
I'm sorry, but we can't accommodate you.
Ramona we have been a staple at this event for years, okay? We pay our dues on time.
Our record is spotless.
Please, I need this.
Okay, what about a private room? There's one private room available, but it's expensive.
To qualify, your total declaration must be at least $100 million, and, sadly, the deadline has passed.
What if I told you I have a stone worth twice that? One stone? One stone.
500 carats of absolute beauty.
It's crystal clear, cut to perfection, and much like your smile, it's flawless.
I can get you in with a buyer's exemption, but the registration fee is $50,000, and I can only reserve your spot for 48 hours.
Gosh, Ramona, you are an angel.
Thank you.
Also, I need to see the stone.
What? I need to see the diamond.
I can't just take your word for it, Jake.
Two days, or I release the spot.
Okay.
Two days.
[CHUCKLES.]
Bye, Jake.
You know, I, uh I spent all sixth period thinking about how to introduce myself.
You know, something cool but not forced.
Witty, but doesn't sound rehearsed.
And what did you decide on? I decided to walk right up to you, and say, "Hi, my name is Braxton Michaels, and it would make my day if you told me yours.
" [SCOFFS.]
[WHISPERS.]
That's lame.
I know, right? Yeah, it is.
I suck.
Well, maybe you can try harder next time.
Next time.
Mm-hmm.
I'm Willow.
Nice to meet you, Willow.
I, uh, I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.
Maybe I'll see you tomorrow.
Maybe.
[SCREAMS.]
What the fuck! Are you okay? Yeah, that guy just took my necklace.
Move, move! Yo, you all right? Yeah.
[MALCOLM'S VOICEMAIL.]
: Leave a message, or don't.
I don't really care, mate.
[BEEP.]
Malcolm look, I know you're pissed at me, kid, but, you know, uh, this is business.
You know, we've got the first delivery tonight, so I want you to be there.
Where is she, Cam? The hospital called, and they said they released the body to you for burial, and she's not at Cohen's.
I took care of it.
Right.
So, when is the service? What do you want, Ava? You want a shiva so you can tell a couple of gags and talk about her life? What a wonderful wife she was, a precious aunt? You wanna reminisce about the golden days, before the miscarriages, you know, before she went fuckin' nuts? No, you don't get to do that.
You don't get to rewrite history She wouldn't go out of the fuckin' house The women, the lies.
The verbal abuse.
You made her who she was.
When she wanted to break free, you sent her away.
No, no, I just wanted to help her.
You wanted her dead.
I just wanted my wife, the wife I married, you know, but she died fucking years ago.
Okay, um [SIGHS HEAVILY.]
She's buried in Mount Moriah.
Plot 27, next to her brother.
[EXHALES WITH SATISFACTION.]
Did you catch him? No, he got away, but he left this.
Oh, my God, thank you.
Did he hurt you? I just want to go home.
Okay.
I'll, uh I'll walk you home, though, if that's okay.
Thanks, bro.
Well This is fun, but I'm quite a busy woman, so, um, maybe you need to tell me why we're here.
The one on the left, his name's Oscar.
He's one of your legitimate couriers.
He was skimming off the top of your diamond deliveries.
And how do you know that? Because the man he was selling them to was one of ours.
He's the unfortunate guy on the right.
Cameron.
No.
He had nothing to do with it.
I just found out myself last night.
They were stealing from both sides.
See? There's no loyalty left in the world.
We can watch your back in ways you don't even know you need.
"We"? Yeah.
Me and my dad.
[CHUCKLES.]
So, that's what this is.
Cameron sent his little lap dog to try and get my trade routes He doesn't send me anywhere.
It's the smart play, for all of us.
Well, I don't play games, Malcolm.
And I don't need you and I don't need Cameron.
I'm perfectly capable of taking care of my own affairs.
Thank you.
Those are the stones that Oscar stole from you and you didn't know about.
You see, we all need friends in this business.
Especially loners, like us.
[.]
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN.]
Jakey! Alexi, hey.
Hey, how you livin'? Good to see you back around.
So, look, I need to talk to you.
I am an open book.
I need 50K.
[LAUGHS.]

Like, right now, okay? I mean, come on I'm flat broke.
You are my only chance.
I just punched Cam in the fuckin' head, okay? And I know he and Malcolm, they're gonna come after me Malcolm is back in L.
A.

He's working for Cam.
I never liked that "Suka.
" Right? So then give me something.
What about those watches, I can get those off your hands.

You know, what you did back there was totally dumb, and you could have gotten really hurt.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
Besides, it looks amazing on you.
Is it a family heirloom, or? Um, it's a gift from my mom.
A bribe to make me not hate Williams so much.
Hmm.
Pretty expensive bribe.
Yeah, beauty of divorce.
Bribes get bigger, gifts get better.
When parents compete, you know? Must be nice.
Yeah, at first, it was, but Anyways, how about you, are your parents still together? They are.
They're, uh, they're just not around.
Oh.
They died.
A car wreck when I was six.
I'm really sorry.
Oh, it's cool.
I barely remember them.
[FRONT DOOR CLOSES.]
Um Mom, this is Braxton.
Hi, Ms.
Green.
You have a lovely home.
Thank you.
Willow, I didn't realize we were having company.
Yeah, I kinda figured the no-boys rule gets waived when they, uh save your life.
She's exaggerating.
Wait, what This guy, um, snatched my necklace, and then Braxton ran after him and he got it back.
He's kind of like a Prince Charming.
Were you hurt? No, I'm okay, Mom.
Well, I'm glad you were there, Braxton.
I, uh, I should get going.
My uncle gets pretty antsy when I'm late.
I'll see you at school tomorrow.

Busted arm, but she'll be fine.
Good.
God damnit.

She fuckin' came out of nowhere, man.
I know.
Hey, they're gonna need to draw blood.
I need to know you're clean.
Yeah, I am.
Totally.
- Don't lie to me.
- I am, Reardon.
I am clean, I swear.
All right.
You did not fuckin' tell me they were Triad.
[CHUCKLES.]
You didn't ask.
You almost got me killed, Lexi.
Take Sasha.
Make up for your trouble.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN.]
What kind of delivery did you think was worth 50K, huh? The dangerous kind.
If I didn't think you could do it, I wouldn't send you.
I'm gonna need one more thing.
Something I can take home.
[CELL PHONE RINGS.]
Hi, sweetheart.
[WILLOW.]
: Hey, Dad.
You busy? Uh, yeah, well, I'm just running some errands.
Uh, what's up? Think you can drop by later? Maybe we can, like, hang out, watch a movie? Uh You know, I don't really know.
Okay, Dad.
Is something wrong? Nothing, um it's just with the robbery and everything, it's been, like a really crappy day.
Robbery? What robbery? What, really? What the fuck are we doing here? Time to face your demons, Freddy.
Okay, is this some kind of reverse sober psychology, or something Out, out.
All right.
I'll get your car back to your sister-in-law's.
- Out, out.
- Fine.
You wanna fall off the wagon, I'm in.
Is this some kind of blow the dealer thing? Because I told you I'm not really into that.
Cut the jokes, okay, Freddy? You came here today for one reason, to get high.
Yeah? How do you know I wasn't here to feed the homeless? Look, man, what do you want to hear? You know what? Here, I'm doing the steps, I'm doing what you told me to do.
Here's your fearless moral inventory right here.
Okay? I'm clean, Ed.
I'm clean.
"Call Natalya.
" Who's Natalya? Nobody.
She's just this really hot Russian chick I should probably call.
I was trying to think of shit to write down.
"Forgive Cam.
" "Connect with Mal.
" Cam's your uncle.
Who's Mal? Huh? Oh, Mal is Cam's son.
I haven't seen him since we were kids.
Look, honestly, I should probably cross that off the list, because he's, like, this big-time thief.
So's Cam for that matter.
Look, you want the truth, man? Yeah, I came here to buy drugs.
But I'll tell you what, for the first time in my life, I wasn't doing it for me.
Yeah? Who were you doing it for? It's not a who.
You see, I got one chance, to take everything I fucked up and make it right and I don't think I can do it sober.
Here.
Go save the fuckin' world.
Drink it, smoke it, call a cab.
I don't give a shit.
It's on you.
[STARTS CAR.]
[BUSTLE OF ACTIVITY.]
Now, back it up, you're good Now, stop, stop, stop Where the fuck's Percy? What the fuck is this? This is what you paid for.
Oh.
Thank you.
Beautiful.
Percy says I can trust you.
You know, you got a lot of moving parts here for, uh, 3,000 carats of diamonds.
We don't traffic in merchandise, Mr.
Rose.
Uh-huh.
We traffic in networks, and I am the king of those networks.
Percy has told me a lot about you.
Well, that's funny, 'cause he ain't told me nothing about you.
Business is booming, but I lost my cleaner.
It's hurting my bottom line.
I need to try and find someone who can help me turn those into untraceable cash.
Guns for diamonds, yeah? No fucking way.
But you haven't heard my price.
I don't need to.
I control diamonds.
This shit, dealing guns, it's the quickest way to get you killed.
Then how am I still breathing? Well, I wish you luck with that.
Percy said you'd be in.
Well, I think you should, uh, have a little chat with Percy.
Hello? Do we have a problem? No.
We have no problem.
Hey, Boss.
They just found Malcolm.
Well, thank fuck for that.
Where is he? It's bad.
We should go.
[TELEPHONE RINGS.]
This is Ava.
Ava.
Sydney.
Is this a good time? Is it ever a good time to remodel your house? I wouldn't know.
Are you still interested in accessorizing Emily for the Audience Awards? Yes, absolutely.
Wonderful.
Emily's assistant will be in touch to set up a meeting.
No promises, but I told Emily your collection was amazing.
That's great, Sydney.
Wow, I don't know what to say.
Say, "I can handle this, Sydney.
" Say, "I know your reputation is at stake, and I won't let you down.
" I can handle it.
100%.
Good.
[FRONT DOOR CLOSES.]
Hey.
Where's Willow? Uh, she's upstairs doing homework.
Why? What's wrong? I don't know, you tell me, Ava.
Our daughter gets robbed, and you don't even think to call me? Shit Jake, I was going to tell you just as soon as you got here.
She's okay.
No thanks to you, right? What's that supposed to mean? You put our daughter in a $30,000 necklace, like a walking billboard, parading her around in front of your high-society Stepford Wives? I mean, what the Don't-don't talk to me about Willow, okay? What if she had ended up in the hospital, or worse, hmm? You are such a fucking hypocrite.
I'm a hypocrite? Look at the life that you gave us, Jake.
With your go-bags and your guns, and Jesus fucking Christ, I was kidnapped because of you.
You know, you never seemed to complain when the money was coming in.
Seemed to love it, actually.
Okay.
Well, look around.
This is my house, my business, and I don't need you anymore, so We don't need you.
Your house.
Your business.
Cars, private school How did you pay for all of it? I mean, really, Ava, come on, we both know that there isn't a bank in this world that would give you a loan, so please.
How? My mother gave me the money, okay? Bullshit.
I know your fuckin' mom.
She wouldn't give you a dime.
No, no, no, not unless No How come you never asked me? Asked you what? When I woke up, I told you that I thought I knew where the Holocaust Diamond was, but you never asked me if I found it.
You knew that I didn't.
You knew that I couldn't.
Because you already did.
You found the Holocaust fucking Diamond, and you used my dad's diamond to buy all of this shit! You didn't give me a fucking choice.
[WILLOW.]
: What? Willow Mom how could you? What's going on? Where have you been? I've been calling you all fucking day.
Yeah, sorry.
I-I was just driving around.
Yeah You didn't, uh you didn't start? I can't see it.
Well, things have changed.
We don't have any fucking time.
We have 48 hours, and I gotta show the conference office a fully-cut diamond.
[CHUCKLING RUEFULLY.]
Fuck You know growing up, fuck, man, I wanted to be you.
The one with all the skill, the fucking chosen one.
I need that guy right now, Freddy Jake, you're not hearing me.
You think I don't want to? I want to, for Rafa's family, for us I can't do it.
I can't cut the stone.
I'm I'm sorry.
And there's more where that came from.
Cut the fucking stone.
[SIGHS SADLY.]
Cut him down.
Here Aw I'm sorry.
I shoulda been there.
I shoulda fuckin' been there.

You need contacts, connections.
A network.

How long were you married? What? You and Mrs.
Rose.
Oh.
26 years.
Is there anything special you'd like her to wear? No.
You've selected the natural pine.
Excellent choice.
Thank you.
She'll be laid to rest at Mount Moriah in the Green family plot.
Yeah.
When would you like the announcement to go out? No, no.
No announcement.
I assume the family will want to pay their respects.
My dad was the biggest cunt in East London.
He was a thief, a drunk, a mean son-of-a-bitch.
Came downstairs for school, and there he was in the kitchen, you know? Brains all over the fuckin' floor.
No note.
No apology.
No fuckin' money in the bank account.
You know what he left us? He left us a fuckin' poem about meeting death.
What a fucking coward.
These people do not deserve respect, none of 'em.
You stick her in the ground.
Wow What? It's just nice having you around.
You know, seeing you guys talk, get along.
I know it's only for a few days, but it's still nice.
[SIGHING.]
Oh, my God Apparently, she doesn't know that I slept in the basement last night.
Jake Yes? How much longer do you think that you and Freddy are going to be here? I don't I don't know, okay? Just ask Freddy, please, because I don't know.
Okay.
But don't forget that I have a trunk show today, and the renovations start tomorrow.
I hope he's done soon.
I really do.
[BASEMENT DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES.]
[FOOTSTEPS DESCENDING STAIRS.]
It does not look like you're working.
You can't just jump into something like this, Jake, okay? You you gotta see it before you make the first cut.
Ah, that's what you were doing, you were visualizing the whole Yeah, something like that.
Hey, you know what, don't fuck with my process.
What do you want? Nothing, I'm just, I'm going to the conference thing to sign us up.
Yeah? All right.
All right, you got this, bud.
Hey, Jake? Yeah? I mean, you're sure we shouldn't just go to Laser Mike's and have his stupid robot cut it, right? Freddy Freddy I'm sure, but are you sure? I mean, come on, man, this was your idea.
Yeah, I know, I know.
Believe me, it would fucking kill me, but, you know, it's a guaranteed $12, $15 million, whatever, that's a lot of money.
Yeah, sure.
And how much if you cut it? For the Anastasia? Come on 200 million, maybe more.
Can you? Can you cut it? Fuck, yeah.
I told you I could cut it.
Yeah, I'm just What? What is it? You know, I haven't cut a stone sober since I was, like, 14 years old.
No Give or take.
Yeah, I used to be doing lines in Alexi's parents' basement, and then I'd come back here, and, bam, bam, bam, I'd be in the zone.
Yeah.
Can you do it sober, though? Yes, I can cut it sober.
I'm just talking.
I'm just, you know thinking about Rafa's family, and everything we're trying to do here, one little miscalculation, and If that's all it is, hey, look, you got this.
Just relax, okay? Yeah.
Man, I swear to God, you're gonna give me a heart attack.
Hey, look, do not actually cut it, not until you're sure.
Okay? I know.
Get the fuck outta here, I know what I'm doing.
Jesus [SNIFFS.]
[WINCING.]
So, what the fuck am I supposed to do with you? Get me a drink.
Please.
What are the pills? I thought you could use something stronger than aspirin.
I don't need them.
What would make me feel better is you sitting right here, and us getting to know each other.
I feel sad for the type of woman that that would work on.
Hmm Take those, Malcolm.
The shower is over there, and Hilda has cleaned your clothes, and you'll find them hanging in the closet.
[DOORBELL BUZZES.]
[SIGHS.]
This ain't a good time.
No? I just wanted to do some shopping, Cam.
Please? Maybe use the family discount? For old time's sake, you know? So, what are you looking for? You looking for something, uh, special? Hmm.
6.
54 carat, Asscher cut, diamond stud.
Well, that's lovely, but I ain't got it.
Hmm, are you sure about that? If you've got something to say, fucking say it.
When I caught Malcolm in my hotel room yesterday, he had one just like that, and it's fucking beautiful.
And I should know, I fucking bought it in Tel Aviv last year.
It was hand-crafted.
It's just stunning, Cam, and you stole it, along with everything else in my fucking store.
You know, whoever robbed your store, you oughtta be fucking grateful.
Is that right? So I should be thanking you, hmm? No, the government wanker who, uh, who took what your father bled and died for, you know, and then Robin-fuckin'-Hood comes along, and everything's right? So, yeah, I think that deserves a thank you.
If that's what happened.
You want me dead, old man! [GUNS COCKING, CHAIRS CLATTER.]
You do it yourself, Cam.
Whoa, whoa, not today.
Nobody else fucking dies today.
Not today.
Now you've had your say, get the fuck out of my store.
Next time you cross my path, or your son, it'll be the last time.
Find my son.
Find my fucking son! Hungry? Yeah.
Very.
So why exactly did you turn up to my door, Malcolm Tobias Rose? [CHUCKLES.]
You think you know me? Malcolm Rose, only son of Cameron Rose and Bella Davies.
One of the best heist-men in London, although your methods are, to say the least, a little messy.
I always get the job done.
Hmm, not always.
Two years in Wandsworth Prison.
Your best friend ratted you out.
But after you were released, he disappeared, Tragic.
Never seen of again.
Well, I hear Femi's family is worried sick.
Hasn't been seen since your little boat ride.
Touché.
Seems we both hate disloyalty, doesn't it? You know, there was a time when I could have used someone like you.
Use me now.
Hmm, no, I said there could have been a time.
Not anymore.
Hmm.
Let's take a ride.
I have to be at the office, darling That can wait.

Your family? Yeah.
I kind of had to eat shit, but, you know, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, right? That's right.
Um Okay How's it going down there? Yeah, good, fine.
Yeah, sorry.
I'll be out of your hair real quick, I promise.
I'm just, you know, I'm almost there, I'm almost there.
Um, hey, I was wondering, could I borrow your your old car? I've got to run some errands.

Oh, there's no problem.
Marsha needs you to order another piece just like this one.
That is a Dashiell Holland, it's one of a kind.
Perfect, then it's settled.
I saw it first.
That only counts if you're six years old.
Ava Green, meet Sydney Foular and Marsha Roberts.
They're usually best friends.
[BOTH CHUCKLING MIRTHLESSLY.]
Tell me, Ava, how much is this little trinket? 70,000.
I'll give you 75,000.
Okay, make it 80.
Marsha, you're embarrassing yourself.
This isn't an auction.
Okay, ladies I have an idea.
Hand me the Oleman.
I have this amazing piece.
White gold.
24 fire red diamonds.
Each one carat, each hand-cut, and set by Mars Oleman.
You can both have an original.
I'll take it.
How about this.
I'll meet your asking price for both pieces, and I'll set you up with Emily Duran.
The actress Emily Duran? You know her? I certainly hope so.
I'm married to her father.
Wife number four, the new and improved model.
Emily needs a necklace for the ANA's red carpet on Saturday.
You'd be perfect.
Sold.
[GIGGLES.]
I just love it when she's angry.
Do you take black? It's my favorite color.
I like this one, Cori.
Keep her.

Hi, Ms.
Green, it's Susan Bryant at Clearview.
Uh, yes, how can I help you? I'm sorry to bother you, but Ms.
Rose asked us to send her belongings to your home.
I just need an address.
Oh, I, um, I believe there's been some sort of mistake.
Sarah's decided to stay at the facility for a few more days.
I'm so sorry.
Were you not informed? Someone was supposed to call you.
About what? Ms.

Sarah's passed away.
Last night, she killed herself.
[JAUNTILY KNOCKING ON GLASS.]
Ramona, Ramona How can I help you, Jake? I'd like to reserve our spot at the expo this year.
Corner booth, second row, like always.
And what company will you be listing? Huh Let's go with Green & Green Jewelers.
I was under the impression that Green & Green had dissolved.
Well, you'd be wrong.
Not according to the government.
I'm sorry, but we can't accommodate you.
Ramona we have been a staple at this event for years, okay? We pay our dues on time.
Our record is spotless.
Please, I need this.
Okay, what about a private room? There's one private room available, but it's expensive.
To qualify, your total declaration must be at least $100 million, and, sadly, the deadline has passed.
What if I told you I have a stone worth twice that? One stone? One stone.
500 carats of absolute beauty.
It's crystal clear, cut to perfection, and much like your smile, it's flawless.
I can get you in with a buyer's exemption, but the registration fee is $50,000, and I can only reserve your spot for 48 hours.
Gosh, Ramona, you are an angel.
Thank you.
Also, I need to see the stone.
What? I need to see the diamond.
I can't just take your word for it, Jake.
Two days, or I release the spot.
Okay.
Two days.
[CHUCKLES.]
Bye, Jake.
You know, I, uh I spent all sixth period thinking about how to introduce myself.
You know, something cool but not forced.
Witty, but doesn't sound rehearsed.
And what did you decide on? I decided to walk right up to you, and say, "Hi, my name is Braxton Michaels, and it would make my day if you told me yours.
" [SCOFFS.]
[WHISPERS.]
That's lame.
I know, right? Yeah, it is.
I suck.
Well, maybe you can try harder next time.
Next time.
Mm-hmm.
I'm Willow.
Nice to meet you, Willow.
I, uh, I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.
Maybe I'll see you tomorrow.
Maybe.
[SCREAMS.]
What the fuck! Are you okay? Yeah, that guy just took my necklace.
Move, move! Yo, you all right? Yeah.
[MALCOLM'S VOICEMAIL.]
: Leave a message, or don't.
I don't really care, mate.
[BEEP.]
Malcolm look, I know you're pissed at me, kid, but, you know, uh, this is business.
You know, we've got the first delivery tonight, so I want you to be there.
Where is she, Cam? The hospital called, and they said they released the body to you for burial, and she's not at Cohen's.
I took care of it.
Right.
So, when is the service? What do you want, Ava? You want a shiva so you can tell a couple of gags and talk about her life? What a wonderful wife she was, a precious aunt? You wanna reminisce about the golden days, before the miscarriages, you know, before she went fuckin' nuts? No, you don't get to do that.
You don't get to rewrite history She wouldn't go out of the fuckin' house The women, the lies.
The verbal abuse.
You made her who she was.
When she wanted to break free, you sent her away.
No, no, I just wanted to help her.
You wanted her dead.
I just wanted my wife, the wife I married, you know, but she died fucking years ago.
Okay, um [SIGHS HEAVILY.]
She's buried in Mount Moriah.
Plot 27, next to her brother.
[EXHALES WITH SATISFACTION.]
Did you catch him? No, he got away, but he left this.
Oh, my God, thank you.
Did he hurt you? I just want to go home.
Okay.
I'll, uh I'll walk you home, though, if that's okay.
Thanks, bro.
Well This is fun, but I'm quite a busy woman, so, um, maybe you need to tell me why we're here.
The one on the left, his name's Oscar.
He's one of your legitimate couriers.
He was skimming off the top of your diamond deliveries.
And how do you know that? Because the man he was selling them to was one of ours.
He's the unfortunate guy on the right.
Cameron.
No.
He had nothing to do with it.
I just found out myself last night.
They were stealing from both sides.
See? There's no loyalty left in the world.
We can watch your back in ways you don't even know you need.
"We"? Yeah.
Me and my dad.
[CHUCKLES.]
So, that's what this is.
Cameron sent his little lap dog to try and get my trade routes He doesn't send me anywhere.
It's the smart play, for all of us.
Well, I don't play games, Malcolm.
And I don't need you and I don't need Cameron.
I'm perfectly capable of taking care of my own affairs.
Thank you.
Those are the stones that Oscar stole from you and you didn't know about.
You see, we all need friends in this business.
Especially loners, like us.

Besides, it looks amazing on you.
Is it a family heirloom, or? Um, it's a gift from my mom.
A bribe to make me not hate Williams so much.
Hmm.
Pretty expensive bribe.
Yeah, beauty of divorce.
Bribes get bigger, gifts get better.
When parents compete, you know? Must be nice.
Yeah, at first, it was, but Anyways, how about you, are your parents still together? They are.
They're, uh, they're just not around.

She's exaggerating.
Wait, what This guy, um, snatched my necklace, and then Braxton ran after him and he got it back.
He's kind of like a Prince Charming.
Were you hurt? No, I'm okay, Mom.
Well, I'm glad you were there, Braxton.

My uncle gets pretty antsy when I'm late.

You didn't ask.
You almost got me killed, Lexi.
Take Sasha.
Make up for your trouble.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN.]
What kind of delivery did you think was worth 50K, huh? The dangerous kind.
If I didn't think you could do it, I wouldn't send you.
I'm gonna need one more thing.
Something I can take home.
[CELL PHONE RINGS.]
Hi, sweetheart.
[WILLOW.]

You busy? Uh, yeah, well, I'm just running some errands.
Uh, what's up? Think you can drop by later? Maybe we can, like, hang out, watch a movie? Uh You know, I don't really know.
Okay, Dad.
Is something wrong? Nothing, um it's just with the robbery and everything, it's been, like a really crappy day.
Robbery? What robbery? What, really? What the fuck are we doing here? Time to face your demons, Freddy.
Okay, is this some kind of reverse sober psychology, or something Out, out.
All right.
I'll get your car back to your sister-in-law's.
- Out, out.
- Fine.
You wanna fall off the wagon, I'm in.
Is this some kind of blow the dealer thing? Because I told you I'm not really into that.
Cut the jokes, okay, Freddy? You came here today for one reason, to get high.
Yeah? How do you know I wasn't here to feed the homeless? Look, man, what do you want to hear? You know what? Here, I'm doing the steps, I'm doing what you told me to do.
Here's your fearless moral inventory right here.
Okay? I'm clean, Ed.
I'm clean.
"Call Natalya.
" Who's Natalya? Nobody.
She's just this really hot Russian chick I should probably call.
I was trying to think of shit to write down.
"Forgive Cam.
" "Connect with Mal.
" Cam's your uncle.
Who's Mal? Huh? Oh, Mal is Cam's son.
I haven't seen him since we were kids.
Look, honestly, I should probably cross that off the list, because he's, like, this big-time thief.
So's Cam for that matter.
Look, you want the truth, man? Yeah, I came here to buy drugs.
But I'll tell you what, for the first time in my life, I wasn't doing it for me.
Yeah? Who were you doing it for? It's not a who.
You see, I got one chance, to take everything I fucked up and make it right and I don't think I can do it sober.
Here.
Go save the fuckin' world.
Drink it, smoke it, call a cab.
I don't give a shit.
It's on you.

Oh.
Thank you.
Beautiful.
Percy says I can trust you.
You know, you got a lot of moving parts here for, uh, 3,000 carats of diamonds.
We don't traffic in merchandise, Mr.
Rose.
Uh-huh.
We traffic in networks, and I am the king of those networks.
Percy has told me a lot about you.
Well, that's funny, 'cause he ain't told me nothing about you.
Business is booming, but I lost my cleaner.
It's hurting my bottom line.
I need to try and find someone who can help me turn those into untraceable cash.
Guns for diamonds, yeah? No fucking way.
But you haven't heard my price.
I don't need to.
I control diamonds.
This shit, dealing guns, it's the quickest way to get you killed.
Then how am I still breathing? Well, I wish you luck with that.
Percy said you'd be in.
Well, I think you should, uh, have a little chat with Percy.
Hello? Do we have a problem? No.
We have no problem.
Hey, Boss.
They just found Malcolm.
Well, thank fuck for that.
Where is he? It's bad.
We should go.

Are you still interested in accessorizing Emily for the Audience Awards? Yes, absolutely.
Wonderful.
Emily's assistant will be in touch to set up a meeting.
No promises, but I told Emily your collection was amazing.
That's great, Sydney.
Wow, I don't know what to say.
Say, "I can handle this, Sydney.

100%.
Good.
[FRONT DOOR CLOSES.]
Hey.
Where's Willow? Uh, she's upstairs doing homework.
Why? What's wrong? I don't know, you tell me, Ava.
Our daughter gets robbed, and you don't even think to call me? Shit Jake, I was going to tell you just as soon as you got here.
She's okay.
No thanks to you, right? What's that supposed to mean? You put our daughter in a $30,000 necklace, like a walking billboard, parading her around in front of your high-society Stepford Wives? I mean, what the Don't-don't talk to me about Willow, okay? What if she had ended up in the hospital, or worse, hmm? You are such a fucking hypocrite.
I'm a hypocrite? Look at the life that you gave us, Jake.
With your go-bags and your guns, and Jesus fucking Christ, I was kidnapped because of you.
You know, you never seemed to complain when the money was coming in.
Seemed to love it, actually.
Okay.
Well, look around.
This is my house, my business, and I don't need you anymore, so We don't need you.
Your house.
Your business.
Cars, private school How did you pay for all of it? I mean, really, Ava, come on, we both know that there isn't a bank in this world that would give you a loan, so please.
How? My mother gave me the money, okay? Bullshit.
I know your fuckin' mom.
She wouldn't give you a dime.
No, no, no, not unless No How come you never asked me? Asked you what? When I woke up, I told you that I thought I knew where the Holocaust Diamond was, but you never asked me if I found it.
You knew that I didn't.
You knew that I couldn't.
Because you already did.
You found the Holocaust fucking Diamond, and you used my dad's diamond to buy all of this shit! You didn't give me a fucking choice.
[WILLOW.]
: What? Willow Mom how could you? What's going on? Where have you been? I've been calling you all fucking day.
Yeah, sorry.
I-I was just driving around.
Yeah You didn't, uh you didn't start? I can't see it.
Well, things have changed.
We don't have any fucking time.
We have 48 hours, and I gotta show the conference office a fully-cut diamond.
[CHUCKLING RUEFULLY.]
Fuck You know growing up, fuck, man, I wanted to be you.
The one with all the skill, the fucking chosen one.
I need that guy right now, Freddy Jake, you're not hearing me.
You think I don't want to? I want to, for Rafa's family, for us I can't do it.
I can't cut the stone.
I'm I'm sorry.
And there's more where that came from.
Cut the fucking stone.
[SIGHS SADLY.]
Cut him down.
Here Aw I'm sorry.
I shoulda been there.
I shoulda fuckin' been there.

: "I have a rendezvous with Death "At some disputed barricade, "When spring comes back with rustling shade "And diamond-dust fills the air "I have a rendezvous with Death "When spring brings back blue days so fair "It may be God will take my hand "And lead me to His promised land "And close my eyes and quench my breath "It may be I shall pass him still - and have a rendezvous with Death" - [TEXT ALERT CHIMES.]
"On some scarred slope of battered hill.
"When spring comes round again this year "And the first meadow-flowers appear "God knows 'twere better "To be deep-pillowed in silk and scented down Where love throbs out in blissful sleep "But I've got a rendezvous with Death At midnight in some flaming town" [SNORTING.]
"Pulse nigh to pulse And breath to breath" Where hushed awakenings are dear "When spring trips north again this year" Open it.
"And I to my pledged word am true I shall not fail my rendezvous.
"
