00:05:17Free us, wizard.

00:05:20Lift this curse.

00:05:23Help us.

00:05:31No!

00:05:32By all the names of God, this is not what I wanted.

00:05:36Then wish it away, exalted one.

00:05:38Wish it away.

00:05:40Stop!

00:05:42No more wishes.

00:05:43I beg your majesty, silence.

00:05:45But my poor people, I must.

00:05:47Do you wish their fate on the entire world?

00:05:51No more wishes, please.

00:05:52I warn you, wizard.

00:05:55Hold your tongue.

00:05:56One more wish is all this creature needs.

00:06:00Three wishes granted to the one who woke him.

00:06:02Let's him open the gateway between the worlds.

00:06:04New wonders, majesty.

00:06:30Now, I'll be right back!

00:06:58OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

00:07:28I'm surprised you're here in person, Mr. Beaumont.

00:07:40Paperwork's completely in order.

00:07:42I've waited ten years for this piece.

00:07:46Antiquarian sculpture, eight foot tall,

00:07:50a statue of the pre-Islamic god Ahura Mazda.

00:07:55Under Islam, these gods were outlawed.

00:07:59It's a miracle this one was ever made.

00:08:02All right, Jimmy, I got an answer.

00:08:13Jesus Christ!

00:08:14What the hell is he doing?

00:08:17God damn it.

00:08:19Does the word dumbass mean anything to you?

00:08:21Watch that crate, that's very expensive stuff.

00:08:23You're not it!

00:08:25Come on, move it. Let's go, everybody.

00:08:43Get your stuff off of him.

00:08:45Come on in.

00:08:48Come on in.

00:08:50Come on in.

00:08:54He's too tight as I have.

00:08:58He's terrible.

00:08:58Easy.

00:08:59Easy, guys.

00:09:00You cut that rug off.

00:09:19Hey!

00:09:19What c'mon?

00:09:21Come on here.

00:09:22Are you there?

00:09:22How do we know you're talking about?

00:09:23How do we know you're talking about?

00:09:24Do you get a headset?

00:09:25How do we know you're working?

00:09:26Like, what?

00:09:27And how do we know you're walking about?

00:09:27Hi. Can I help you?

00:09:30Maybe. I've got a pawn shop down in the Garment District, 5th and Tooley, the armpit of the universe.

00:09:37Anyway, this came in this morning.

00:09:40I had a hunch about it, gave the guy a good price, and I'd like it appraised.

00:09:45Well, I think you made a smart move.

00:09:47Nick?

00:09:48Shannon?

00:09:49I think we have something Alex should take a look at.

00:09:53Hello, Betty.

00:09:54Hey. Wow, this is...

00:09:57What's its provenance?

00:10:01What?

00:10:02History. Where did it come from?

00:10:04Oh, I bought it from a guy who said he got it from his grandmother. That's all I know.

00:10:08Heard that one before.

00:10:09Tell you what, I want to have my best appraiser take a look at this.

00:10:13Shannon here is going to fill out a receipt for you.

00:10:15And thank you for choosing Regal Auctioneers.

00:10:19Sure.

00:10:24Yes, that's it?

00:10:33Yes, it is.

00:10:34Nice game.

00:10:35Oh!

00:10:38How is, um...

00:10:40Rick?

00:10:42I don't know. I haven't spoken to him.

00:10:45It's over.

00:10:46What's it been now?

00:10:48Six and a half weeks?

00:10:50Seven.

00:10:51What?

00:10:52Are you counting?

00:10:54I thought...

00:10:55Maybe we, uh...

00:10:58What?

00:10:59I thought maybe we could go out.

00:11:01We go out all the time.

00:11:04Yes, we go out.

00:11:05Uh-huh.

00:11:06All the time, but we don't go out.

00:11:08Josh, you are my best friend.

00:11:10Do you know how hard a friend is to find?

00:11:12I don't want to...

00:11:13I don't want to mess that up.

00:11:15Dates are a dime a dozen.

00:11:17Oh, come on, Alex.

00:11:18It is so old.

00:11:20It's a date.

00:11:22Wait, you know what it is?

00:11:24I'm just...

00:11:24I'm just worried about losing what little I've got left now.

00:11:29Including you.

00:11:32How about dinner and a movie?

00:11:34How about hot dogs and a ball game?

00:11:36Playing and safe, huh?

00:11:37I'm going out on a limb here.

00:11:47I'm casting a spell on you here, Alex.

00:11:52Maybe it'll work.

00:11:58Hey.

00:12:03I'll see you later.

00:12:05I'll be at the lab.

00:12:06Hey, Alex.

00:14:20I didn't hear you come in.

00:14:24You scared me.

00:14:25What's the verdict?

00:14:29I think there may be something wrong with it.

00:14:34Does it affect the value?

00:14:36I have to talk to a friend of mine.

00:14:37We're going to have to run some more tests.

00:14:38Tests?

00:14:40Like...

00:14:40There's something inside of it?

00:14:57Right.

00:14:58Well, I don't know.

00:15:01I'm no gemologist.

00:15:04I could run some spectral analysis, infrared, get some readings.

00:15:08That'd be great.

00:15:08Can you do it now?

00:15:09Hold on, hold on.

00:15:11Hold on.

00:15:11I got about two hours' worth of Professor Lieber's bullshit to take care of first.

00:15:16I'll get to it as soon as I can.

00:15:18Come on.

00:15:19You want to stay?

00:15:19No, I can't.

00:15:20I've got to put my girls through their paces.

00:15:22Yeah.

00:15:24Thanks.

00:15:24Yeah.

00:15:24This is really important, so call me later, okay?

00:15:27You're the best, Josh.

00:15:28I owe you.

00:15:29Yeah.

00:15:30Well, how about that dinner, then?

00:15:31Come on, come on.

00:15:34All right.

00:15:35Where is it?

00:15:35Can you do it, Kara?

00:15:37Ah!

00:15:39Time out.

00:15:41You.

00:15:42That was very good.

00:15:43It was very good.

00:15:44Do you know what you missed?

00:15:45Mm-mm.

00:15:46You didn't have stillness.

00:15:47All of you can put the ball in the hoop as long as you take your time, take a breath,

00:15:51get your aim, right?

00:15:52But you don't always have that time in a game.

00:15:54Somebody's always going to be trying to take the ball away from you, and that's when you

00:15:57need stillness.

00:15:59Not in your body.

00:16:00Your mind.

00:16:00When you get a chance to make a shot, you've got to forget about everything else.

00:16:05Time doesn't exist.

00:16:07The other players do not exist.

00:16:09It is you and the basket.

00:16:12You see it.

00:16:13You find it.

00:16:16Shoot the ball.

00:16:24Okay.

00:16:30Laser targeting, full analysis.

00:16:41Well, this is the easiest day you've ever gotten, Aikman.

00:16:44What is that?

00:16:53What is that?

00:16:57And the laser scan, damn it!

00:17:27And the laser scan, damn it!

00:17:57Hi, Geophysics. We're probably changing lead into gold right now, so leave a medal.

00:18:04Josh, it's Alex. Are you there?

00:18:07Watch something.

00:18:08Alex.

00:18:09Really weird happened to me on the court, and I really need to talk about it.

00:18:13Alex.

00:18:14Is there a pick up?

00:18:16Josh?

00:18:17There's somebody there.

00:18:21Oh, my God.

00:18:22Oh, my God.

00:18:24Oh, my God.

00:18:26Is the pain terrible?

00:18:44Oh, God.

00:18:45I can help you with that.

00:18:48I can ease your suffering.

00:18:50All you have to do is ask.

00:18:56Tell me you want the pain to cease.

00:19:04Yes.

00:19:07As you wish.

00:19:09Oh, my God.

00:19:19No.

00:19:20No.

00:19:22Josh!

00:19:28Oh, my God.

00:19:31Oh, my God.

00:19:35Josh!

00:19:36Oh, my God.

00:19:51Oh, my God.

00:20:00Oh, my God.

00:20:03Oh, my God.

00:20:29Oh, my God.

00:20:30Oh, my God.

00:20:31A computer malfunction.

00:20:38Must have been one hell of a computer.

00:20:47Josh.

00:21:19Um, I'm, I'm sorry.

00:21:21Look, you, you want to have a seat?

00:21:23No, I want to know what happened.

00:21:26Well, it looks like an accident.

00:21:27Equipment malfunction, maybe.

00:21:32You have any idea what he was working on?

00:21:35He was analyzing a gemstone.

00:21:41Oh, it's for me.

00:21:43Excuse me, lady.

00:21:54You got help out an old older boy?

00:21:55If you ain't got no change, a dollar will do it.

00:21:58Hell, I'll even take five.

00:21:59I'll wait till you get back.

00:22:00Look, how many times I gotta tell you?

00:22:12Hey, you left customers in there.

00:22:13That's not a good way to run a business.

00:22:14Don't tell me how to run my business.

00:22:16You're a fucking bum.

00:22:17Well, you don't tell me how to run my life.

00:22:21You're a fucking prick.

00:22:23I'll talk to anybody I want to.

00:22:24You don't own this fucking sidewalk.

00:22:27You want to know something?

00:22:28I do own this fucking sidewalk.

00:22:29You want to know why?

00:22:30Because I pay fucking taxes.

00:22:32Fuck you.

00:22:33No, fuck you.

00:22:35I hope you die, you sack of shit.

00:22:38I hope you die, and I hope you float down the gutter so I can fucking piss on you.

00:22:44Get out of here, bald-headed baboon.

00:22:47Piss-complected afterbirth of a Chinese gangbanger.

00:22:52Educated idiot.

00:22:54I own the sidewalk.

00:22:56I pay taxes.

00:22:57I got your taxes swinging.

00:22:59I'll tell you what you can do with your taxes.

00:23:01And I hope they poke a hole in your kidneys when they're heading up towards your throat.

00:23:06I hope you rot in hell, and that goes for your...

00:23:10Who is that?

00:23:14Hmm.

00:23:15A friend, perhaps.

00:23:18Tell me.

00:23:22Do you really mean those curses you hurl so freely?

00:23:27Damn right, I did.

00:23:28What would you do to have them come true?

00:23:33Cigarette and a handshake's about all I got right now, pal.

00:23:37Not quite.

00:23:38You have a soul.

00:23:40That I'd trade for a shower and a juggie jack.

00:23:44Then the death of your enemy you would consider a bargain.

00:23:48You really are fucked up, you know that?

00:23:50But I do like the way you think.

00:23:54Indulge me, then.

00:23:56What would you have happen?

00:23:59Give it some thought.

00:24:02Enjoy it.

00:24:06Hey, you should only get cancer.

00:24:12You should only get cancer and die.

00:24:15As you wish.

00:24:18Welfare checks.

00:24:20Boot stamps.

00:24:21And another thing, I...

00:24:23Hey, buddy, you okay?

00:24:27Holy shit!

00:24:30You okay?

00:24:34I don't know.

00:24:36Hey, let her...

00:24:37Let her go.

00:24:38Was it worth it?

00:24:59Was it worth it?

00:24:59Run, insect.

00:25:13Run and tell those you will what you will.

00:25:16Tell them there is something loose in their city.

00:25:20Something which feeds on wishes.

00:25:23Yes.

00:25:29But tell them quickly, while you still have a soul.

00:25:34Hey.

00:25:56You're not enjoying it.

00:25:58Put it out.

00:25:59Put it out.

00:26:04Hey, Alex.

00:26:06I'm really sorry about Josh.

00:26:08I know how close you guys were.

00:26:11Yeah.

00:26:14No, we weren't as close as you wanted, and now it's just too...

00:26:18Alex, listen to me.

00:26:20What happened to Josh is not your fault.

00:26:24I think it is.

00:26:26What?

00:26:27There was something weird in the opal.

00:26:38I think that was what exploded.

00:26:41I think what I gave Josh is what killed him.

00:26:44Do you have any idea how crazy that sounds?

00:26:48Yes.

00:26:50I know exactly how crazy it sounds.

00:26:52That's the problem.

00:26:52Do you, um...

00:27:00Do you want me to call Dr. Monteglio again?

00:27:03No.

00:27:07I'm fine.

00:27:09I'm just upset.

00:27:11You are not just upset.

00:27:13You're imagining things just like the last time.

00:27:16This is nothing like the last time, Shannon.

00:27:18Why don't you go to bed?

00:27:21I don't want you to worry.

00:27:23Can you can the big sister act for just one night?

00:27:26The fire was years ago.

00:27:28You got me out, okay?

00:27:30I got you out.

00:27:31I didn't get Mom out.

00:27:31I didn't get Dad out.

00:27:33Not didn't.

00:27:34Couldn't.

00:27:35Could not.

00:27:37Not your fault.

00:27:39Just like Josh is not your fault, Alex.

00:27:43You really gotta stop blaming yourself

00:27:45or the whole fucking thing is gonna start again.

00:27:47The therapy, the nightmares, everything.

00:27:50No, it isn't.

00:27:54It's nothing like last time.

00:28:00Something's going on.

00:28:04Something bad.

00:28:09I'm gonna find out what it is.

00:28:11I'm gonna find out what it is.

00:28:17I'm gonna find out what it is.

00:28:42Ready to play, Alex?

00:28:57I can smell your fear.

00:29:12I'm looking for a dog worker named Etchison.

00:29:15That guy?

00:29:17Yeah.

00:29:24Mr. Etchison?

00:29:26Sweetheart, you can call me anything you like.

00:29:29Please. I don't have time for your games.

00:29:32Well, that's a damn shame. Could be fun.

00:29:35Okay. Let's talk about the opal.

00:29:38The jewel?

00:29:40I don't know what you're talking about.

00:29:42That's odd. Your friend Clegg knew exactly what I was talking about.

00:29:46I don't know him either.

00:29:47I think you do. Middle-aged guy, runs a pawn shop,

00:29:50ratted you out at the first sniff of a lawsuit.

00:29:55All right. What's the deal? You a cop?

00:29:58No. And we don't ever have to involve them if you tell me where you got it.

00:30:05Ah, that statue. After the accident.

00:30:08You must have seen it on the news. Killed a guy.

00:30:10The Beaumont piece?

00:30:12How the hell should I know?

00:30:14There was some guy here who bought it. Yeah.

00:30:19Hey, Clegg gave me a couple hundred.

00:30:22Did I get fucked?

00:30:24Royally.

00:30:24Hey.

00:30:25Come on.

00:30:46Hey.

00:30:47I'm going to take a look at it.

00:31:17Alexander, how nice to see you again.

00:31:29Mr. Beaumont, I'm so sorry about what happened.

00:31:32Yes, irreplaceable, one of a kind.

00:31:37We are talking about Ed Finney, your assistant, right?

00:31:41Oh, yes. Yes, of course.

00:31:44Right.

00:31:45Well, if you're not too broken up about him,

00:31:48I'd like to ask you a few questions about the sculpture.

00:31:51Anything you wish.

00:31:54Well, the newspapers seem more concerned with the details of the accident,

00:31:57the crane operator and such.

00:31:59The drunken swine.

00:32:00And less concerned about the details of the statue itself.

00:32:04Was it bejeweled?

00:32:05No, no, undecorated.

00:32:07A likeness of a horta mazda,

00:32:09one of the few to have been made after the Islamic conversion.

00:32:12Mm-hmm.

00:32:13Tell you what, Hera.

00:32:14Let me show you something.

00:32:17You'll be interested in this, I think.

00:32:19Any new treasures at the archer now, sir.

00:32:29Jeez!

00:32:31Asshole!

00:32:32Gotcha!

00:32:33Wow.

00:32:52My room of lost gods.

00:32:55Once worshipped, now.

00:32:56Forgotten.

00:32:58Forgotten.

00:32:59From every culture of ancient history.

00:33:02See that?

00:33:04Down there.

00:33:05That was the space reserved for Ahura Mazda.

00:33:08Yes, what exactly is Ahura Mazda?

00:33:12It's the objects I collect, Alex.

00:33:14Not the theologies they represent.

00:33:17But for what it's worth,

00:33:18he was the monotheistic deity of the Zoroastrian religion.

00:33:21So he was a god of good, then?

00:33:25Certainly.

00:33:27Interestingly, though,

00:33:28legend has it that, uh,

00:33:30the opposing force, if you will,

00:33:33was actually his own shadow.

00:33:35So, in a way,

00:33:37he himself was the source of evil.

00:33:40There's someone at the university I'd like to put you on, too.

00:33:43Uh, very smart woman.

00:33:45She's done some catalog descriptions for me in the past,

00:33:47but, uh,

00:33:48she could be of some help,

00:33:49uh,

00:33:50provided you catch her in a,

00:33:51in a good mood.

00:33:57Hey.

00:34:01Hey, who's the teacher's pet, huh?

00:34:04Why the hell are you working in the dark, man?

00:34:09Wait a minute.

00:34:10Who are you?

00:34:13What the fuck?

00:34:19Oh, my God.

00:34:20Am I to understand

00:34:22this is not something you wish to see?

00:34:26Uh-huh.

00:40:29powerful magical evil

00:40:32evil

00:40:33i i

00:40:35i thought that jenies granted wishes

00:40:37i

00:40:37it's what the myths say

00:40:38they're obliged to

00:40:39but their true motivation is always usurping this world for themselves

00:40:43i never heard that

00:40:45what i heard was

00:40:46sweetened fables

00:40:46over the centuries faith became fairy tales

00:40:50we avoided our terror by taming it into fictions

00:40:53inventing stories of magical lamps to rock our children to sleep

00:40:56and the old stories are darker

00:40:58much darker

00:40:59in the old writings the jinn is everything that we have ever feared

00:41:04an utterly inhuman race of beings that mean us harm

00:41:08older than our oldest history more powerful than our worst imaginings

00:41:13and driven by an ancient and endless malevolence

00:43:20Yeah!

00:43:22Ah!

00:43:23Ah!

00:43:24Ah!

00:43:37Shit!

00:43:50The stone of the secret fire, created by a great Persian sorcerer to save his people

00:43:57from the Djinn, is as much a curse as a blessing, because it is a doorway between the worlds,

00:44:03and like all doors, can be opened from either side.

00:44:05A Djinn, once freed, can use the stone to bring forth his race to our reality and overwhelm

00:44:10humanity.

00:44:11But the Djinn must first charge the stone by gathering the souls of humans who have had

00:44:16a single wish granted.

00:44:17He must then activate it by finding the human who woke him into this world and granting

00:44:22him three wishes.

00:44:23The sole limitation to the Djinn's power is that it may only be used in the service of

00:44:27wishes.

00:44:39Sorry, sir, we're closed.

00:44:41I'm trying to locate an employee.

00:44:43There's no one here, just the boss.

00:44:45Fine.

00:44:46I'll talk to the boss.

00:44:47Open the doors, please.

00:44:48It's appointments only after business hours, okay?

00:44:50You're becoming a bother, little man.

00:44:52Open the doors.

00:44:54Okay, pal, it's time for you to go.

00:45:04Get out of my way.

00:45:05I don't think so, asshole.

00:45:07Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to have unlimited power and only be able to

00:45:13use it when some worm asks you for something?

00:45:15No, I can't say that I do.

00:45:16Can't say I give a shit either.

00:45:17Ask me for something.

00:45:18Okay.

00:45:19I want you to leave.

00:45:20No.

00:45:21No.

00:45:22No.

00:45:23I have to get inside.

00:45:24Well, now, you'd have to go through me.

00:45:25And that is something I would love to see.

00:45:27No.

00:45:28No.

00:45:29No.

00:45:30I have to get inside.

00:45:32Well, now, you'd have to go through me.

00:45:35And that is something I would love to see.

00:45:38Yes, sir!

00:45:39Yes, sir.

00:45:41Yes, sir.

00:51:53There was a guy here looking for you.

00:51:56I faked it.

00:51:57I faked it.

00:52:26Ah!

00:52:33Ah!

00:52:36Ah!

00:52:41Ah!

00:52:45Ah!

00:52:47Ah!

00:52:49Ah!

00:52:56Ah!

00:53:12Hello?

00:53:14Only you can end their pain, Alexandra.

00:53:17Only you can free them.

00:53:27Patience.

00:53:29Friends.

00:53:31Patience.

00:53:48Hi. Um, can I come in?

00:53:56The stone is charged.

00:53:58It's charged with people's souls.

00:54:00Fed with their fear.

00:54:01And the gin is after me. I need to know what the hell to do.

00:54:04Alexandra, this is the 20th century.

00:54:05Don't you think all that sounds a little unlikely?

00:54:08Would you like something to drink, by the way?

00:54:13No. Uh, thank you.

00:54:15Well, I would.

00:54:17This is a nice cabinet, isn't it?

00:54:20Your boss would really like this.

00:54:22My boss? I never told you who I worked for.

00:54:26You didn't?

00:54:31Then how would I know?

00:54:34Maybe Beaumont mentioned it.

00:54:36Oh, yeah. He did.

00:54:41Let me explain.

00:54:43You are obviously looking for some piece of magic, some spell,

00:54:47to get rid of this hypothetical gin that you're talking about, right?

00:54:50Yes.

00:54:51Well...

00:54:53They certainly existed.

00:54:56Are you cold?

00:54:57No, I'm fine.

00:54:59Would you like me to put the heat on?

00:55:00No, just please continue.

00:55:02All right.

00:55:04Where was I?

00:55:06Oh, yeah. Spells, sorcerers.

00:55:08Alexandra.

00:55:09You were born into an age of reason, an age of science.

00:55:13All the sorcerers are dead.

00:55:16And all the spells lost to time.

00:55:20But the gin itself, the gin, if it existed, would be all there was.

00:55:26Imagine that.

00:55:27The only magical thing in a rationalist world.

00:55:32A vulnerable world of disbelief.

00:55:36Where no reason would ever rescue you, nor science save you.

00:55:42Oh.

00:55:44He would have a fine old time, wouldn't he?

00:55:47This isn't a joke.

00:55:51No.

00:55:52It's not funny.

00:55:54Are you hungry?

00:55:57I'm not hungry.

00:55:58I'm not thirsty.

00:55:59I'm not...

00:56:00Why do you keep trying to do things for me?

00:56:02I'm sorry.

00:56:15I guess I'm just a little tense.

00:56:23I guess.

00:56:26But I'm fine.

00:56:28All right.

00:56:30Where were we?

00:56:32Oh, yes.

00:56:34No spells.

00:56:36No hope.

00:56:38There's no hope.

00:56:40No magic.

00:56:43I'll have to rely on myself.

00:56:47Match wits with a creature older than time.

00:56:51Match wits with a prince of the dark dominions.

00:56:55Pit your tiny 20th century brain against one who walked the spaces between the worlds.

00:57:02And trod the wings of angels beneath his conquering feet.

00:57:07Oh, Alexandra.

00:57:09You're a delight, really.

00:57:12You are.

00:57:13I'm glad I can amuse you.

00:57:17Oh.

00:57:18I hurt your feelings.

00:57:20I'm sorry.

00:57:22Let me make it up to you.

00:57:24What can I do?

00:57:27I must be going now.

00:57:28Sit down.

00:57:29Please.

00:57:30Sit down.

00:57:32Please.

00:57:34Sit down.

00:57:35Where's Wendy?

00:57:36Bedroom.

00:57:37But I wouldn't go in there if I were you.

00:57:38Messy.

00:57:39I needed her face.

00:57:40You killed her?

00:57:41Actually, I can't kill anyone.

00:57:42Not unless they wish me to.

00:57:43Your research should have told you that.

00:57:44She didn't wish to be dead, you lying sack of shit!

00:57:46I showed her my true face.

00:57:47Her reaction wasn't very flattering.

00:57:48It's a matter of fact.

00:57:49She got downright hysterical!

00:57:51Hmm.

00:57:52I merely asked her if she wished to be released from her fear.

00:57:54No.

00:57:55No.

00:57:56No.

00:57:57No.

00:57:58No.

00:57:59No.

00:58:00No.

00:58:01No.

00:58:02No.

00:58:03No.

00:58:04No.

00:58:05No.

00:58:06No.

00:58:07No.

00:58:08No.

00:58:09No.

00:58:10No.

00:58:11No.

00:58:12No.

00:58:13No.

00:58:14No.

00:58:15No.

00:58:16No.

00:58:17No.

00:58:18No.

00:58:19No.

00:58:21You're a dangerous person to know, Alexandra.

00:58:24You're scientist friend.

00:58:26Your boss.

00:58:27The policeman, Wendy.

00:58:29By the by.

00:58:32Where is that tasty little sister of yours today?

00:58:36If you harm Shannon.

00:58:39I'll kill you.

00:58:42Spare me child.

00:58:45Behold my true face.

00:58:47Oh my God.

00:58:48Yes.

00:58:49Yes. This shit just hit the fan, didn't it? Let's get this over with, shall we? Make your wishes.

00:59:01Three wishes, Alexandra. Doesn't that intrigue you? Just a little. Anything you want.

00:59:11Anything?

00:59:11You ask for anything, I must grant it. A trip to the moon, a visit to Pharaoh's Egypt, uh...

00:59:21What happened if I wished you dead?

00:59:23Why, how remarkably original, Alexandra. I'll tell you what. I'll give you one free wish.

00:59:31A sample. Get you into the spirit of the game.

00:59:35Alright. I want you to destroy yourself. Blow your brains out.

00:59:41Right now.

00:59:42Very well.

00:59:50That which is eternal cannot die. But if it's any consolation, sweet Alex, that hurt like hell.

00:59:59Now, make your three wishes.

01:00:06I always tell my girls to know their opponent.

01:00:11So, I think I will make a wish.

01:00:21Good.

01:00:22I wish...

01:00:24To know what you are.

01:00:31What are you doing?

01:00:33Ranting your wishes.

01:00:35You wish to know what I am.

01:00:51Do you?

01:00:52I am this.

01:00:54The cry of the abandoned child.

01:00:57The winter of the winter of the whipped peace.

01:01:01I am the face that stares back at you from the shadowed mirror.

01:01:07The hollowness at the heart of all your hopes, Alexandra.

01:15:56I will not wish.

01:15:58Really? Not even when I show you the latest addition to Beaumont's collection.

01:16:05The final flowering of his wish.

01:16:08What?

01:16:09Masterpiece of my own. I call it. Sister, why have you forsaken me?

01:16:17Oh god.

01:16:20Shannon!

01:16:21Rather a good likeness, don't you think? I especially relish the trapped animal look in the eyes.

01:16:29You vicious son of a bitch!

01:16:32Don't prove.

01:16:34Alright then. Fuck it!

01:16:37You know what I say. If you can't beat them, burn them, baby.

01:16:53No!

01:16:54Shannon!

01:16:56Remind you of something.

01:16:58Jane, make your wish.

01:17:11I suggest you do it quickly, dear.

01:17:25Oh god!

01:17:28Stillness.

01:17:38I wish.

01:17:48Yes.

01:17:58I wish.

01:18:00Wish on child.

01:18:02Stillness.

01:18:20No.

01:18:26No.

01:18:28No.

01:18:30No.

01:18:34No.

01:18:36Impossible.

01:18:38Not by.

01:18:40Oh, my God.

01:19:10I wish you'd never met me.

01:19:37I'm surprised you're here in person, Mr. Beaumont.

01:19:39The paperwork's completely in order.

01:19:42I've waited ten years for this piece.

01:19:45Hey, Mickey, watch it.

01:19:47Look, what do you think that is?

01:19:48Coconuts?

01:19:48That's pre-Islamic stuff you got in there.

01:19:52Now, slowly, thanks.

01:19:54Okay, got it.

01:19:55Oh, yeah, this will make someone a very nice engagement gift.

01:20:17At the very least, a nice engagement gift.

01:20:21Yeah.

01:20:23It's got an interesting look.

01:20:26I'll tell you what.

01:20:27You're late.

01:20:28Sorry.

01:20:28I'll give you 2,000.

01:20:32So what are we doing tonight?

01:20:36We?

01:20:37Oh, what's the matter, Josh?

01:20:40Are you afraid of the complications?

01:20:43Um...

01:20:44You know what?

01:20:46I think this could help.

01:20:48Does that help?

01:20:51This is...

01:20:52Yeah.

01:20:59Yeah, where, uh...

01:21:01Where are we going tonight?

01:22:04He's a hot dog.

01:22:07Sorry.

01:22:29listen to your heart, understand the right, listen to your heart, before we say goodbye, don't you see, truth is always true,

01:22:47eyes are wide, just like you see the ghost, give me hope, cause I was never sure, give me faith, cause I was never yours,

01:23:06listen to your heart, don't tell me you're right, listen to your heart, tell the truth or die, listen to your heart, listen all you like, listen to your heart, and then you'll be alright.

01:23:36guitar solo

01:24:06Raise your hand, if you deserve the pain, if you can, then you won't die astray, give me strength, so I can make a stand, give me light, so I can show my hand,

01:24:33listen to your heart, listen to your heart, listen to your heart, tell the truth or die, listen to your heart, and then you'll be alright.

01:24:59drum solo

01:25:04listen to your heart, listen to your heart, listen to your heart, listen to your heart, say love, tell the truth or die, listen to your heart, and then you'll be alright.
