Okay.

I mean, it's kinda like...

Success is subjective, you know?

He's the asshole, not me.

Get him now. I need to talk...

- No, Blake is not here - Don't tell me he's not there.

- He left rehab. - None of us have seen him.

This a bunch of bullshit. Why are you making this so hard?

I just need to talk to him.

- Yeah. - Fine, just get him.

Look, you just need to chill out.

Everything's under control here.

- Wow. - Hallo, my name's Elder Friberg.

My name's also Elder Friberg.

We're from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints...

- just down the road. - Okay.

- How are you doing this morning? - Good.

We're wondering if we could come in

tell you a little bit about our church

give you information on our religion.

- This is a nice house - Thanks.

- You want a drink? - No, thank you.

Don't you...

the blood of Christ thing?

No, we use water instead of wine.

- Water for the blood of Christ? - Yes.

The alcohol in the wine is...

we believe is bad for our bodies, so we don't...

drink anything that's bad for our body.

So have you guys had anything really...

freaky happen to you when you go to these houses?

- Not really. - Not normally.

And you're here to convert us?

No, we're here just to give you...

background information on our religion

in hopes that you come to one of our services.

Do you know anything about our religion?

- No. - No?

Alright, I'll give you some background information.

How it started is...

a young boy by...

at the age of fourteen, wanted to know which church to join

because he noticed there were so many.

So he knelt down and he prayed. And he said...

"As I prayed, a pillar of light descended upon me

and when that pillar reached me, I saw two figures directly above me.

The figure on the right said...

This is my son, Jesus Christ, hear him."

God sent Jesus to the earth...

to be the most pure being to ever walk the earth.

And he was sent to be sacrificed...

so that we didn't have to sacrifice lambs to be forgiven.

Now, all we have to do is ask with a sincere heart to be forgiven.

Back then you couldn't talk to God unless you were pure.

So by puri... by killing something pure...

by sacrificing something that was innocent

you became innocent yourself.

- Let me get a... - Can you talk to God now?

Yes, when we pray.

- We've gotta go. - You gotta go?

We have to go. We have a lot of area to cover today.

We want 'em to stay, right guys?

Is there a time we can come back?

When you come out, because if you truly go...

if you truly go inside...

you know, if you actually go there...

when you come out

it can be very frustrating.

Very...

I don't know, it's just hard... it's hard to speak...

with other...

because you're speaking like a different...

Thank you for your time.

In the book... in the cover, there's scriptures...

- These? - Yes, and our phone number...

- if you have any questions. - Thanks for the book, guys.

- Thank you for having us inside. - Nice to meet you.

You have a good day.

Our number's in there and if you could read over the scriptures

and then give us a call if you have any questions.

- Alright. - We have services on Sunday from...

at nine o'clock.

Okay.

You guys talk to Jesus for real?

Then one day he thought the way to make money...

there are a lot of...

a lot of people who had exotic backgrounds in Vaudeville.

There's a Chinese magician named Ching Ling Foo

who was doing really well.

So Billy Robinson sort of disappeared and he resurfaced...

as a Chinese magician named Chung Ling Soo.

He had his hair cut off and made into a queue, you know

one of those long queues at the back of his neck.

And he had himself made up to look like a Celestial.

And he became incredibly well-known performing...

- Was he a prophet? - ...in England.

No, he was a magician. He was a stage magician.

He did these really wonderful shows.

And the real Chinese magician, Ching Ling Foo, got outraged

and he tried to have a competition with him.

There was headlines in the paper

"Soo fools Foo", "Foo sues Soo".

You know, they had this amazing rivalry.

Basically the guy who wasn't Chinese kind of won the contest

as this great Chinese magician.

The other thing he did, he actually tried to catch a bullet

in his teeth on the stage.

- And marksmen would get up. - What?

They'd have a bullet autographed.

I mean, you'd nick with your nail an initial into the bullet

and a rifleman would fire it at him.

And this Billy Robinson dressed up as Chung Ling Soo would stand...

stand on the stage with a plate in front of his mouth.

And the marksman would fire the bullet.

And Chung Ling Soo would catch the bullet in his teeth

and then spit the bullet onto the plate.

- You're shitting me. - And they would check it.

And it would be the same mark that was made by the guy in the audience.

It was an amazing effect.

It goes back to the 16th century.

What was that book called?

There was a book about it called "The Riddle of Chung Ling Soo"

by a guy named Will Dexter, but...

- I'll check that out. - The thing that's amazing is that

he's performing one day at the Wood Green Empire Theatre

you know, in London in 1918.

And he's doing this stunt.

And they shoot him and he drops to the ground.

And he's dead.

He actually dies trying to catch the bullet in his mouth.

- To this day there's still... - No!

...all sorts of speculation about what really happened.

Was it an attempt to commit suicide?

He had some rocky relationship with his wife Dot

who performed with... under the name of Suee Seen.

But the thing I always remembered about the case

you know, being a P.I, I guess is that...

the Coroner's report called it "misadventure."

"Death by misadventure."

Not bad.

This is a great castle.

Look at this stonework.

- Stonehenge. - Well, not quite, is it?

No, but there's a similar castle down three miles...

from here that has a replica.

Of Stonehenge?

They moved the Salisbury Plain up here?

Just a replica. Was built for like the princess of Romania

by this guy, Sam Hill Rockefeller.

You know that guy, that oil man from Arizona, McCulloch

had the whole London Bridge brought out to Arizona.

Yeah, same thing.

In 1831, there was this guy who played his chin

at the opening of the bridge. Michael Boai.

Played "Ladoiska," by Kreutzer. The whole overture, man.

Sample that for some music.

- Out. - Yes.

Hey, man, have you seen Blake?

No, I haven't seen him.

'Cause Blackie says she hasn't seen him for a week.

- Who's this guy, man? - Blackie told me to lead him around

try to find him cause she's worried about him, actually.

Come back later without him.

Alright, man.

We could probably go over to...

Vanessa and Page's house. He might be sleeping on their couch.

Who are they?

Just some kind of girlfriends that we all have.

Like, hang out kind of...

just mutual friends.

So Vanessa and Page are both women?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

For every...

for every thought...

of good...

for every thought of good...

that my death...

will benefit.

I...

lost...

something...

on my way.

I lost something on my way...

to...

wherever...

I am today.

I remember...

when...

I remember...

when...

I remember...

when...

- Who's that? - Yeah, right.

- That isn't... - Hey, girly

- Who is it? - That isn't Donovan.

Yeah, it is.

Fucking motherfucker.

- I'd like to kick his ass. - Oh, yeah.

- Fucking asshole. - Scumbag.

Fucking dickhead Don.

- I cannot believe that wuss. - Who the fuck is that with him?

- I have no idea. - Oh, God.

Hey, Blake!

Blake!

It's me, Donovan.

Blake?

Blake?

Hey, you.

Are you free?

Sort of.

Free enough to play that guitar?

Yeah. I haven't been playing very much.

Have you talked to your daughter?

I have been talking to her on the phone.

What do you say to her?

I do the voices she likes, you know.

I tell her I miss her.

Do you say "I'm sorry that I'm a...

rock and roll cliche"?

Are you writing all that down?

- Do you want something to drink? - No.

I have a car waiting

and I want you to come with me.

I really can't. I got... I don't know.

There's stuff that I gotta get done.

You have to come now.

You can go. You can get out of here.

No one's here.

You can go.

It'd be easy.

If you stay here, you're just gonna...

It's okay.

It's okay.

You're not wearing a bra? Come on.

Come on, come on. Mama Mama Mama.

There's this lyric in the bridge that I was trying to figure out

and I've been having trouble figuring it out

'cause it's... like, I want it to be more personal

and it's just sort of... I'm not getting there.

And I was wondering if you could maybe, like

help me figure it out a little.

I'm sorry I'm talking your ear off. I didn't ask.

You know.

Luke... Lukas, I've gotta get out of here, man.

Why? Why?

That ranger, the cop. He's not a real cop.

He's not a ranger. He's not "Walker, Texas Ranger."

He's a private eye.

Well, what do you mean?

He's not real, but she's probably coming back.

Herself?

Yeah.

You fucking bug him everytime you talk to him...

- about the demo tape. - Really?

I'm not bugging.

He doesn't wanna help you, he's just saying that to get you...

to leave him alone, man.

Is that what you think?

- You really think that? - I know that, man.

- Well, thanks. Thanks a lot, then. - Sorry.

You gotta leave him alone.

Forget about the demo.

Forget about the demo.

Fucking asshole.

Just shut up.

I need some contact with her.

You know, it's not...

everyone... I'm being treated like I'm a... like I'm a...

fucking criminal, you know?

I don't like... I don't wanna put it in the...

Hey, Blake!

Blake!

It's me, Donovan!

Blake?

Blake?

Blake?

Blake?

You know, I used to work for the forest service in the summer.

Hey, bro? Blake?

Blake!

Blake!

Blake!

Wanna shoot some craps?

Look at this. Look how it's starting to crystallize.

This is cellulous nitrate, same stuff as film stock.

This is eventually gonna implode. Completely crystallize and implode.

What do you suppose is over there?

Oh, yeah. That over there, that's the greenhouse

where they keep the garden tools and stuff.

I'm your boyfriend.

No.

Oh, Christ.

Oh, whatever you want it to be, sir.

A package of artificial cheese with your...

macaroni and cheese.

Hey, Blake. Can I have your attention, man?

There's something I really gotta talk to you about.

You know, I've been stuck here for a week with no apples and...

and you know how I got fucked up on that airplane going to Portland?

And I threatened to pee on the stewardess?

And they diverted the flight?

I have to go to Utah, man, and I don't have any money.

And it's colder than shit in this house.

I was watching football last night

they have these jet heaters.

They're like jet engines.

They can probably... they could heat this whole place.

I mean it sounds like a good idea to me.

So I need to go to Utah and I need... we need a jet heater.

Ouch!

You okay?

"Severing, severing, speak so slightly"

"Severing, down on your bended knee"

Blake.

Here's that demo tape I was gonna give you.

It's... I recorded it on the four track... upstairs.

But...

there's this one of the songs is a song about...

this girl...

when I was touring in Japan, and...

I was... we were... it was the last night of the tour in Tokyo.

And...

She was... she gave me this card at the end of...

at the end of the tour. I mean, at the... like, at the after party.

And she drew little tits on it and gave me her number

and I called her that night at 12.00 or something.

And she came right over, and we, like, we had sex.

And she was like, her body's unbelievable.

She was just so beautiful.

I think she was like a star, like a music and like TV star or something.

And like...

and so I... she kept calling me.

Well, so we had sex

and it was probably the best sex I ever had in my whole life.

And then I left the next day back to America and...

and she kept calling me and she wanted to come visit me

and I didn't... I never called her back and I felt really bad about it.

So I wrote this song... that's one... that's the song...

one of the songs on that tape.

And there's... I wanna make it as personal as I can...

like, cause I wanna apologize to her, you know?

I was sort of... I actually was wondering...

if you could help me with some of the lyrics on it, cause...

there's this one part in the song on the bridge where...

where I don't know exactly how to put what I'm trying to say.

It's like I wanna do it more...

Leave him the fuck alone and come upstairs with me, alright?

Oh. I'm sorry. I'm talking your ear off.

I just wasn't thinking, man, You know.

See you.

I'll listen to it.

Listen to it, yeah. Tell me what you think.

"From ripe to rotten"

"Too real to live"

"Should I lie down or stand up"

"And walk around again"

"My eyes finally wide open up"

"My eyes finally wide open shut"

"To find the found of sound"

"Hears the touch of my tears"

"Smells the taste of all we waste"

"Could feed the others"

"But smother each other with the nectar and pucker"

"The sour and bittersweet weather"

"It blows through our trees"

"Swims through our seas"

"Flies through the last of gas we left"

"On this earth, Oh..."

"It's a long, lonely journey"

"From death to birth"

"It's a long, lonely journey"

"From death to birth"

"It's a long, lonely journey"

"From death to birth"

"It's a long, lonely journey"

"From death to birth"

"Should I die again"

"Should I die around"

"The pounds of matter wheeling through space"

"I know I'll never know"

"Until I come face to face"

"With my own, cold dead face"

"With my own wood case"

"You, way..."

"It's a long, lonely journey"

"From death to birth"

"It's a long, lonely journey"

"From death to birth"

"It's a long, lonely journey"

"From death to birth"

"It's a long, lonely journey"

"From death to birth"

Hey. What's going on, man? How are you doing?

How are you?

I... I missed you on Thursday.

We tried to get in touch 'cause I went to this...

because... this... I fucking hate talking here.

We went to the Dead... to a Dead show

and it was like at least about two to three hundred thousand people

but that's not even there, the point is that...

afterwards we played "Dungeons and Dragons".

We played that "D&D" game with Jerry

and Jerry was like the best dungeon master.

We captured the winged Pegasus.

And his girlfriend, Suzette or Jacquette, some French name

she was like... she did these voodoo rituals. She gave us...

Now it's only half a jaw, but before it was a whole jaw.

And it's something about virility

but I know you weren't feeling... you're not feeling that great

so if you want the bottom jaw

I could give you the bottom jaw, like I could give you the jaw, at least.

It works.

We're coming, we're coming.

Where did Asia go?

- Hey, Nicole. - What?

Give me your hand.

We were just three guys.

- No, we're not three guys. - No, we're not three guys.

We were just two guys and a girl.

Going, leaving for no particular reason.

Why are we leaving, Scott?

Oh, yeah. Why are we leaving, Scott?

- Where are we going? - Nobody knows...

- To my place? - ...where we're going.

Yep. That's right.

Sorry.

Blake was like so excruciatingly painful that...

he sometimes wanted to die or kill himself.

Do you think this is a contributing thing here?

I mean, do you think he was exaggerating in saying that?

- No, I don't think... - No, I know.

- I actually spoke to his mother... - I know.

- ...about this, she had an identical... - I understand.

- I understand. Okay. - ...situation, at about his age...

We're fucked. We're gonna be implicated

and tied up in this whole thing.

They're gonna accuse us of copping for Blake.

And they're gonna say we were there.

I think it just contributed to his idea...

Do we need to get out of here?

I don't have anything. I don't have any of my stuff ready.

This is giving me the creeps.

Do we need anything? Can we just go?

Let's just get the fuck out of here.

Let's just go.

Where are we gonna go?

We'll go to Los Angeles.

Los Angeles...

Fuck.

Are you alright?
