- Thank you.

- I would like to go to the market.

- Okay, ladies.

What I'd like...

- Excuse me?

Maestro!

Maestro!

The Countess prefers this trumpet not leave the palace.

- The trumpet?

- It's a museum piece.

- Right.

- Ah, okay.

Thank you.

You've not found your own trumpet?

It's a tragedy.

- Tell me, do you think that maybe

the Countess could advance me...

- Oh, I'm so sorry sir, no.

Your fee comes following your performance.

- Oh.

- Where are you going?

Is your room satisfactory?

- Fine.

- The Countess prefers you remain here.

- She prefers?

- Yeah.

Maestro.

Please don't go too far.

Maestro!

- Yeah?

- Shooter!

Hey, genius.

I know you're here.

I need to see you right now.

- I thought that you were done here.

- And yet...

Hey, you know, we've all got our car payments.

And you know, I really love fast cars.

- Hey.

The boss is waiting for you.

- Lucky me.

- Somebody is waiting for you.

Come on.

- Olivia?

- Big man.

- What's going on?

- What?

- Well, you never did...

Little ones?

- What do you mean little?

They're as big as the big girls.

Don't be a fuck face!

It's all you, baby.

You smoked the Egyptians and the Kraut broads.

And now all those rich fuck pedos,

they gotta come to us.

- We don't do this.

- So, we are expanding the business.

- This isn't happening.

- Too late, man!

You made it happen.

The Al-Qaeda thanks you.

- We don't sell...

- Yeah, we send messages now.

Fucking desert cock suckers

thought they could push, Krauts too.

So I have to lean into a new line of work,

one you hate.

Well, too fuckin' bad.

It's a message.

It's a message to everyone out there.

Things can get nasty again is my message.

Got it?

You're the messenger.

New job.

Totally out of the normal.

You know the trumpet player?

The genius?

Well, I don't want to dignify him,

but he sort of got on the wrong side of me.

So, I'm crazy.

Normally, I let dumb shit go and move on,

but I have this hope that we can still be friends.

So, what do we do?

We send a message.

I want his finger, the right pinky.

Just snip it off.

He plays tonight at the Palace, do it before then.

Right now, before he scores

and gets back behind the walls.

It's a favor.

Okay?

And quiet on the way out.

The girls are napping.

You smoked the Egyptians and the Kraut broads.

We are expanding the business.

- What's your name?

Olivia?

Right.

You're the savior.

- Thanks, pilgrim.

- I'll give you $50 for that piece.

- I need my horn back.

And some cash.

- Some cash.

- Yeah.

No, all the cash.

Come on.

- All of it?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Oh, God damn it.

- I'm gonna let you take your horn.

But you need to do me a favor to get it.

- Favor?

- A what?

- Shoot my husband for me.

- What?

- What?

- You heard me.

I got my reasons.

- Yeah.

She does.

- I'm not asking.

- I love you.

That's the last thing you'll hear from me.

I love you.

- Do it.

- Ah.

Damn it.

Sorry.

- Hey.

Trumpet player.

Hey.

You want to sell that piece?

- You give me 200, you can have the gun.

- That's not worth 200.

- All right.

I gotta go.

- What?

Sit down.

- You want the gun or not?

- Do you know a guy called Hercules?

- The Countess prefers this trumpet not leave the palace.

- The trumpet?

- Maestro!

- Lock on her.

- Did you hear that?

My hero, number one trumpet genius

just called me "friend".

Sugar, give him three Gs of the black sticky.

Remember this?

Make it out to me.

- And what's your name again?

- You don't know my name?

- That's it.

Hercules.

Hercules.

- Yeah, sit down, you'll get your money.

All right.

Lock on here.

I've gotta make things really obvious for you.

I take guys out for Hercules.

But he doesn't want me to kill you.

- Is this about the autograph?

- No, this is serious business.

- Oh, no he's not.

It's because I blanked on his name.

- Listen, he wants me to cut off your pinky finger.

Something about teaching you to show some respect.

But honestly, I don't want to do it.

- Mm.

Good.

- I could shoot a guy in the head,

I could drop him in the river,

I could kill his wife and his dog...

But I don't want to wrestle a guy for his finger.

So...

What are you gonna do?

So, you give me what I want,

and you get your 200.

- You know, there's something wrong with you.

- Come on.

Do yourself a favor.

- No.

I'm all right.

- Are you?

Tell me.

Do you like playing for exiled dictators,

torturers, child rapists, scum of the earth.

The Countess?

She's a monster.

You've fallen a long way from where you were.

- Yeah, I guess so.

Yeah, I guess I'm pretty low.

- Mm.

- That's one thing that people who pimp children

for a living they don't have to worry about, do they, huh?

You can't fall further than that, can you?

- Will that be together?

- Yes.

That's for you, all right?

Keep the change, darling.

- Thank you.

- You do work, right?

For Hercules?

Me and my sister Olivia live downstairs.

You know her, Olivia.

You talked to her a couple of times, she said.

- Do me a favor.

- She just disappeared that night,

I think Hercules has her.

- Move your foot.

- Hercules, I think he's got Olivia.

- Move your foot.

Mm.

Hey, pussy.

Pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy.

Pussy, pussy, pussy.

Pussy, pussy!

Pussy, pussy.

Pussy, pussy.

- I want to buy a gun.

- Come on in.

Come on, come on.

I want you to listen to me.

Hercules, he has your sister.

But it's all right.

I'm gonna get her.

And we are gonna leave town.

But you have to understand one thing.

We start out as a bunch of people,

but we end up as one.

- My name is Juan!

- So you sit still here and don't.

- Okay.

- Okay?

- What's your name?

Mister.

Mister?

- All right, here.

Have a little warm up.

Go ahead.

Now look at this.

Now that is gonna get you back on your feet

for a year or two, huh?

- Okay.

- Okay.

Put the cap back on.

There.

Now this, slip this over your little finger.

Over the pinky there.

Yup, good, good.

Don't want you to get messy.

Now this is probably gonna feel like childbirth

or pulling a tooth.

Okay?

We're gonna do it on three count, all right?

Look at me.

You ready?

- Okay.

- Okay, let's go.

Now there's three, two, one...

- It's on its way to De Leon.

- Now that should patch up the damage.

Thank you, my friend.

- Knock yourself out.

- Maestro!

So pleased to see you here.

- Hello there.

- Can we go back to the castle?

- I hope so.

Where have you been?

- I was looking for you, in the city.

- Isn't that funny?

- Yeah, yeah.

- I was looking for you, and you were looking for me.

- After you, Maestro.

- I want you to know, I appreciate it.

Because it's cold.

- Yeah, my pleasure.

- To the Countess.

♪ For today I included you

♪ Then those rotten kids crossed the line ♪

♪ I'm afraid I'll never understand, baby ♪

♪ I'm so sorry you had such a bad time ♪

♪ Well, I've done some truly awful things ♪

♪ And you must be very terrified ♪

- There you go.

- Nice.

- I found him at the pawn shop.

- Well, like you said.

It had to be done.

He knew though, why this was happening?

- Yeah, he knew.

As a matter of fact, these were his exact words, he said,

"I'm sorry, Hercules".

- See?

He knew my name.

- Everybody knows your name.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Oh, there's one thing.

I didn't like you putting a hand on me.

Does that register with you?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Because this I do out of respect.

This is for love.

- You're a sweetheart, you know that?

And I know I don't do enough for you.

So, you get what you want.

Anything you want.

- All right.

I'll take her.

- What?

She's like...

She's like 14, man.

That's...

You're fucking me up here, man.

She's spoken for.

Princess here is getting married tonight, at the Palace.

To the Countess's brother.

Some kind of vampire, I don't fuckin' know.

But he wants a girl like her.

He picked her.

He's coming to get her, we're going up there together,

so I gotta say no.

- What?

Get a fresh one.

- A fresh one?

Listen to you.

Okay.

Okay.

I think I can make this work,

because I love you.

You know something?

The Maestro got a kinda junky thing.

He can be in two places at once,

and his right pinky nail is completely black.

- Damn it!

- Motherfucker!

Fuck you!

I'm gonna kill you!

- Let's go, come on!

- I'll kill you!

- Hey, hey, hey!

What's happening?

Wait!

- Let's go.

Hold it, hold it!

Yeah, right here.

Ah.

- Next stop...

- We don't want to waste it all now!

Where are the little people?

The little people for the cake.

There's no cake.

And she's much too teeny,

my brother doesn't like all that.

Where are the flags?

We need the flags.

But no Union Jacks, please.

A bit of a migraine trip.

- Countess.

Your--

- Hush!

Seating notes.

Everybody's gonna want to sit with Iceland,

it's bizarre, I know.

The little fella from Morocco,

and from Canada, the aboriginal.

The Canadians think they'll make an impression

with that fellow.

- Yes--

- Next, we have Australia.

Colonial guilt always flows west to east,

I don't know why.

Now that table is nice and contrasty.

Showbiz people in the rear,

and politicos, let's keep them away from the gum runners.

- Great.

- My husband's loyaltist, the New World Order idiots,

et cetera.

- Yeah, no problem.

But I just need to--

- But everybody gets to bring their guns,

so we'll all be safe.

- Sounds perfect.

But I just--

- Speaking of which, tell me, Fegelein,

when did diplomacy get all Cosa Nostra?

It's as if all the new diplos,

they're all cast from mob pictures,

you know, with their grotesques rings

and their fucking blown up blondes.

I prefer the good old days

with monocles and fat men,

and a good bloody book.

- Okay, as if you wish.

But--

- What about the wedding gift preparations?

- Countess--

- The lighting cues, are they all set?

- Countess, your brother is missing

and he's not in his room, and...

- What are we to do?

- I don't know.

- Will you say it again?

- Yeah, your brother is missing

and he's not in his room,

and I don't know what...

- That's because he went to go get his bride,

you simpleton!

- Oh!

Okay.

- I hope she speaks English.

No offense.

- You put the word out!

You see him, you send him to Power Town,

and then you get paid.

First come, first served!

I want his fucking head!

We need a new pussy bride.

- For the vampire?

- "For the vampire?

"For the vampire?"

Oh.

We were just...

Oh, no.

You don't want to suck me.

I got AIDS.

Yeah.

That's...

Just, it's from a party.

- Where's my bride?

- Dead.

She died.

She got sick.

- Where is she?

- I told you, Count.

She...

Sugar, get him that...

- Mm.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Mm!

My bride is alive!

My bride is alive!

Mhm.

- Oh...

- You will give her to me?

Yes.

- Sugar!

Get the word out.

I want the kids on him.

- You and I, we've talked a few times.

Remember?

There.

Just rinse some of that off.

Clean you up.

We are gonna get your brother.

Yes, we are.

Okay?

Then we are gonna get out of town, okay?

Lift your arm up a bit.

Lift it up.

Can you lift it up?

There you go.

- Get everybody on!

I want the girl he's got with him!

The girl!

Yeah!

Waste the motherfucker.

- Okay, Boss.

- They're following you.

- Police!

- Stop, stop, stop.

- Come on.

- Come on!

- Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah, here we go.

Come on.

Hey.

Listen to me.

I need you to do me a big favor.

I need you to go to my apartment,

there's a kid there, his name's Dario.

- Oh, no!

Tonight is about love, and music,

and dance, and celebration.

And perfect things, perfect lists,

not spiteful bitches who hate their job.

And our Maestro.

Our Maestro!

Our Maestro is perfect.

- Yes, Countess.

- Yes.

Dip me.

- 4020, 4019, 4018,

4017, 4016--

- What are we doing?

- Listening.

- To what?

- The music.

- Oh.

- 4006, 4000...

- Oh.

I think he's dead.

- He's dead!

Countess!

He's dead!

- Countess!

- Countess!

- Countess!

He's dead!

- 4005, 4004,

4003, 4000...

- Olivia!

Come, come, quickly.

Olivia.

- What's your name?

- Yeah, what's your name, mister?

- Drive.

Drive.

- I think I broke it.

- Oh...

- Hello?

Just a moment.

I'll look.

Yeah, I've got it.

So, how much could you...

And it's for the Palace?

Well, I could bring it over.

No, you're welcome.

Okay.

See you there.

Vera!

- What?

- Where's the case for the trumpet?

- What?

- The case for the trumpet, where is it?

- You took the garbage out?

- What?

What the hell...

- What?

- Don't you fucking touch me!

Fucking goose.

Oh my God.

- Good.

You're going this way.

- Where is she?

Hm?

Ah!

- Oh, Jesus!

Kids?

- You fucked up moving to him.

You're us now.

If you like babies so much,

then you be our new babysitter.

You watch them for me tonight and going forward.

- What's happening, Hercules?

- If you lose track of them tonight for even a sec,

I will cut you up.

- Ah.

My bride.

- Too bad seeing her before the wedding.

- Oh, I've always seen her.

Here.

- Yeah.

- I think I need a shower.

- He wants a shower!

- And a gun.

- He wants a shower and a gun.

- Move.

- Hello.

- Hi, dear.

Went right through.

- Is that a good thing?

- Who shot you?

- Hercules.

- He's gonna die on our floor.

- Shh.

Why?

Why did he do that?

He's looking for you.

Why you need a gun?

- He sells children.

They're little kids.

I tried to stop him, but I lost my chance.

I just...

I lost my chance.

Cause I don't think I can--

- Shh.

Be quiet.

- Get up.

Can you help me?

- This is me.

I'm Hercules.

Oh, how do you do?

I'm Hercules.

I'm in imports.

I'm in imports.

Yes, how do you do, Your Excellency?

I'm Hercules.

- I had hope, and I know exactly

what I was gonna do.

I always know.

You try.

You should've.

- Hm.

Yes, a lot of men.

Light atrocities.

- Ooh.

- I find the mask on facade so amazing.

I stay here, my husband's light atrocities

keeping me in this prison.

Everybody's always coming here.

Even you.

- Bernard brought you here.

I get to do that.

- I get to do that, and then you all get to leave.

Can I ask you a silly question?

Well, of course I can, you're an artist.

Your whole world is one silly question, isn't it?

- Well, shoot.

- What do you think, my Maestro?

- My Maestro.

- My master.

What do you think happens to us

when we are dead?

I mean, just a guess.

Yes, it's a child's question.

- What is your answer?

I don't have one.

- What is your hope?

- Well, I want...

I want...

I want to remember everything.

I want to be flying, calm.

And in a beautiful place.

And I hope that I am me.

- And I hope that I am me.

- Maybe that's it.

That I am me.

- You lost a lot of blood.

Mine's universal.

Anybody can have it.

What's your name?

I'm Vera.

This is nice.

- I'm Chesney.

Don't forget Chesney.

- You should've let me die.

- Don't be so dramatic.

- The little children.

Hercules takes them.

How can I stop him?

What am I gonna do to stop him?

- Everything.

- Well, I have to be somewhere.

It's hard to get in.

I'm gonna need a quiet gun.

- Guns we got.

What's the place?

- The Palace of the Clintessa.

- Taxi's here.

- Nice.

Thanks.

- My bride.

- And now, I pronounce you...

Man and wife.

- Mr. Chesney, my hero!

You brought the trumpet.

So glad to see you.

I think this should settle it.

- Well, I've got to give it to him myself.

I'm a big fan.

- Oh, I don't think it--

- Well, if it's gonna happen,

that's how it's gonna happen.

- Very well.

Can I see it?

Thank you.

Nice piece, isn't it?

Very well.

Here you are.

- Thanks.

- So, I'll pay you when it's in his hands.

Follow me, sir.

- Go ahead.

- Very well.

You're really our savior.

The Countess was so worried about this trumpet.

I think she's gonna...

- They shot you.

- Yeah.

- What's this?

- A deal.

- To the bride and groom.

- I know this is love, but our deal's past due.

It's something else now.

- Mr. Chesney.

Excuse me, sir.

It's almost showtime, sir.

- Oh dear God!

Wait, wait, I need to talk to you!

Where are you going?

- Oh...

Excuse me.

- Wow.

Look what we have here.

Hang on.

- I got your trumpet.

- What?

Still works.

- And...

I cut off your finger.

- Oh.

- Now, I need you to do me a favor.

- Yeah?

- Take this and wrap it around your hand

when you play.

- Why?

You don't look so good.

Oh.

There's holes in you.

- I gotta sneak some people out, I gotta...

They're little kids.

You play, and I sneak 'em out.

But if Hercules sees your hand,

then it's impossible.

- Oh, kids.

Right.

You're the savior.

You're gonna make everything better, huh?

- But we don't have any time.

- That's the first true thing you've said.

- Take it!

- Molemen.

- What?

- Molemen.

That's what he used to call 'em.

The guys who'd go down in the hole so deep,

they go so deep their eyes suck up into their heads

and they couldn't see anything.

Even what was right in front of them.

- What are you talking about?

- And they had a smell.

And when that smell hit ya,

you knew just a matter of time 'til

they were dead in the ground.

You've got that smell, Moleman,

and I don't deal with Molemen.

- All right.

You're gonna do this.

- Thanks for the trumpet.

Who are you saving, pilgrim?

- I will make you so happy.

- And two more.

- So, I found a phone,

and I called the police.

- The police don't come to the Palace.

- What?

- We're in a different world.

- We've gotta get them out of here.

Do you have a plan?

- No.

- Good evening, everyone.

And welcome, welcome.

I'd like to take this opportunity to

not only thank you for being here

and giving your blessing,

but for your magic.

Cause without all of you,

there would be no magic.

And I'm so happy we could put aside

our politics and petty grievances

on this special occasion,

where we have a very special guest,

for my beloved brother...

A last gift for my brother, my beloved.

A last dance.

Our old great favorite.

- Stop!

I said stop the show!

Lights!

Lights up!

- Mr. Hercules!

- I'm not seeing this, right?

- Mr. Hercules!

You are a guest here!

- I'm fucking drunk, right?

- Mr. Hercules, put the gun away.

You're a guest here.

Now, everybody just keep cool.

This is a family affair.

For Christ's sake, move in on him please.

- Maestro.

How many fingers you got?

How come you got 10 fingers?

- Get down.

- For Christ's sake, move in!

- How come he's got 10?

And I got one?

Huh?

Get away from me.

I need to think.

- Assassin.

Assassin.
