Transcript

00:10In centuries past, when the world was full of mystery and traveling was reserved for the very few, a new

00:18form of collection was born, the cabinet of curiosities.

00:21Now, this collection could be lodged in a building, a chamber, or a piece of furniture.

00:32In these private collections, one would find books, paintings, or specimens of natural and unnatural history.

00:40A dragon's tooth, a Fiji mermaid, a unicorn's horn, and behind each of these, a story.

00:47One could encounter something as large as a suit of armor, or as small as a set of keys.

00:54The keys to a storage room, that odd place where one keeps the past alive.

01:02The things that remind us of our deeds, or darkness, or sins.

01:07The story today is Lot 36, and the director, Guillermo Navarro.

01:21The novel isstage for the historical background, ever�, game.

02:47When we are successful, we will be.

02:51We have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations

02:57can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the UN's founders.

03:04We have no argument with the people of Iraq.

03:09For the innocent caught in this conflict, I pray for their safety.

03:16Our goal in the conquest of Iraq is the liberation of Kuwait.

03:23It is my hope that somehow the Iraqi people can, even now, convince their dictator that he

03:31lay down his eyes, leave the way, and let the Iraq itself be found in the family of peace-loving

03:40groups.

03:41Thomas Caine wrote many years ago,

03:46These are the times that try men's souls.

03:51Those well-known words are so very true today.

04:01I prefer to think of peace, not war.

04:05I am convinced, not only that we will prevail, but that out of the horror of combat, will

04:14come the recognition that no nation can stand against a world united.

04:24We fought for it and won.

04:26These immigrants take and take and give nothing back.

04:30Who told them they were welcome here?

04:32Who invited them in?

04:34We made this country, fought for its freedoms, and they want to fit right in.

04:39Fuck yeah.

04:40Reap the benefits, loot the social programs.

04:43Brown rights, black rights.

04:44Well, what about white rights?

04:46Oh, no.

04:47No, we can't talk about that.

04:49No, we can't.

04:49We're going to take your calls soon.

04:51No self-righteous liberal assholes, please.

04:54We got Fred from Williamsville on the line.

04:57What's on your mind today, Fred?

05:09I went through the jewelry, and I found our wedding rings.

05:15I put mine on my finger, and I gave yours.

05:19There was a plane.

05:28Nice wheels.

05:30My pride and joy.

05:42My pride and joy.

05:45I met you, and you're in the gold coast.

05:49For new faces, that's long-term rentals.

05:52Folks who don't trust banks, who stash gold bricks inside old couch cushions, fur coats and boxes.

05:57And for some reason, they leave it all behind.

06:00You know, the three Ds, death, divorce, debt.

06:05Bad luck for them.

06:06Bad luck for them.

06:07Good luck for you.

06:08But sometimes we roll up the door praying for a big score only to find a pile of shit on

06:12the other side.

06:15We're short and sweet today, starting with lot 36.

06:18This is the one owned for decades by the same man.

06:21May he rest in peace up there, down there, or wherever he may be.

06:26I'm just covering all the bases.

06:28Without further ado...

06:51On peak, on whiff, that's all you get.

07:07Let the bidding begin.

07:13It's all yours, Bill.

07:15And we're on the block.

07:17On the block we are.

07:17And we started with 50.

07:1850 going as 50 goes.

07:19We got $50.

07:20$100.

07:20Got $100 going, do I hear?

07:21$150.

07:22$150.

07:22Ooh, $150, $150.

07:24We got it once.

07:25$175.

07:26$250.

07:26Hey, now, $250 going once.

07:28$350.

07:28Oh, routing out the competition.

07:31And I got four bills, four bills.

07:33I got $400 going once, twice, three times.

07:36Sold to the shy man with the deep pockets.

07:41All right, everybody, stop filing out.

07:43Next one's down the hall.

07:48I heard you, Tommy.

07:50Did you fuck not?

07:51Because I remember telling you not to cross county lines before settling in full.

07:55I haven't.

07:56Huh.

07:57So my guy eyes on you is lying?

08:00I'm here to make money.

08:01To pay you.

08:02I want my money now, you lying piece of shit.

08:05Pay phones outside.

08:06You gotta give me some room.

08:08Yeah, sure.

08:09I'm handling it.

08:10Better have it tonight, you motherfucker.

08:14You got that contract.

08:20You're cut from the last unit.

08:23Did it bear fruit?

08:25Stones were made of glass, melting the gold yield at some.

08:28Looks light.

08:29What about the wooden canes?

08:30Replicas.

08:31Shitty wood and resin.

08:32That's minus legwork and gas money.

08:35Guess that's why you got the truck and I ride a busted moped.

08:43I'll cut you a check for the unit.

08:44Get the fuck out of here.

08:46A check.

08:47You better give me more money.

08:50Check.

09:05That's slick.

09:06You got any idea how much I make an hour?

09:08You got my keys?

09:11Before we get to that hole up, I want to show you something.

09:15Here it is.

09:17Check this out.

09:18You gotta see.

09:22This the guy that owns the one you just bought.

09:25Every day.

09:26Same guy.

09:28Carrying the same bag.

09:30Stayed in there for about an hour, hour and a half.

09:33And then...

09:34What's this got to do with me?

09:35Ain't you curious?

09:37No, I'm not.

09:38And I've never been.

09:39Maybe that's why I'm still alive.

09:43You gotta be shitting me.

09:44Guy's had her since this place opened.

09:47Going back to 45.

09:49Kept mostly to himself.

09:51Polite.

09:52Tighter than a Tupperware lid.

09:54White anger.

09:56Am I allowed to say black anger?

09:58I didn't think so.

10:03Anyway, something special in there.

10:05For him to check on it like this?

10:06Yeah.

10:07Old clothes and worn out shoes.

10:09I bought a unit in Palmetto.

10:11Packed with jars.

10:13Urine, feces, hair and toenails.

10:16And bags and bags of coupons.

10:18The order we get the stranger man.

10:24Now look.

10:25Bag's empty when he comes out.

10:27Of course it is.

10:28It's a fucking storage unit.

10:29Yeah, but what was he up to?

10:31He dropped something in there every day for decades.

10:36I heard of the hopping again.

10:39What do you think it is?

10:41I'll dig around.

10:50For your lot 36.

10:54Enjoy.

11:01Remember, I'm the one tipped you off.

11:04Don't forget to spread the love.

11:09Stingy bastard.

11:28The skies over Baghdad are illuminated tonight as allied forces unleash an assault.

11:34Hello, Mr. Eddie.

11:35I came to pay my bill.

11:37Two months!

11:41I thought you left the unit.

11:44Gave it up.

11:44We sold it on the block when we didn't hear from you.

11:47No, no, no, no.

11:50Mr. Eddie.

11:53How long I am renting here?

11:55We sent you an eviction notice, Miss Amelia.

11:58Your phone's disconnected.

11:59I tell you I moved.

12:01I have a new number.

12:04Maybe you sent the notice to the older address.

12:08The wrong one.

12:09Well, whose fault is that?

12:10You.

12:11I called.

12:12I said, please, Mr. Eddie, don't forget.

12:17That was...

12:25You see that guy right there?

12:29His name is Nick Appleton.

12:31He bought your unit.

12:34Go see him.

12:35Maybe you can get some of your things back.

12:42No, nada.

12:42Muchas gracias.

12:45Lo siento.

12:54Ah, it's on me.

12:58Mr. Appleton?

13:01Mr. Appleton?

13:03Whoa!

13:03Mr. Appleton.

13:04Oh, sorry.

13:05My name is Emilia.

13:06And Mr. Eddie said you bought my unit.

13:07It's on the other side, number 87.

13:09What if I did?

13:10They made mistake.

13:12Who's they?

13:13You were evicted, right?

13:14They sent wrong address.

13:16Talk to the manager.

13:17No.

13:18Mr. Eddie said I speak to you.

13:20Fuck.

13:21Is that right?

13:23Speak fast this year.

13:24All my family things are there.

13:26Letters, photos, personal stuff, you know?

13:29Oh.

13:30I threw a lot of stuff away and sold some others.

13:33There may be some stuff left in there, but whatever is in there is mine now.

13:36You understand?

13:37No.

13:38It's not yours.

13:42Where are you from?

13:43My name is Emilia and I am from here.

13:45I took two buses.

13:47Legally, you lost whatever is in there.

13:49I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is.

13:51All my children's pictures.

13:53My mama, my papa, letters.

13:55What good are there to you, Mr. Upleton?

13:57You let me look around and I bother nobody.

14:00Maybe some things are still there and I'll go quick.

14:03I'm sorry for your troubles, but they're not mine.

14:06You can do nothing for me.

14:11A thousand bucks, you can have what's left in there.

14:14I make this money in a month, cleaning.

14:21Here.

14:25This is yours.

14:26I bet you can still use it.

14:30What kind of man are you?

14:33What's that?

14:36Do you speak Spanish?

14:38No, and clearly you don't speak English.

14:40So make an effort when you're in my country and try and insult me in my own language.

14:44Dumb bitch.

14:46I said I hope you rot in hell!

14:54As usual, it's all on me.

14:57It's all on me.

14:59I can't have enough problems.

22:10Shoo!

22:11Shoo!

22:27Fucking hell.

22:34Oh, the fuck happened to you?

22:37I'm borrowing your first aid kit.

22:43Maybe you should sit for a minute.

22:45What?

22:46Why?

22:47I'm fine.

22:48I gotta get some shit appraised.

22:51Must be something good.

22:52Antique pieces, some gold.

22:57Maybe you should skip the five and dime this time.

23:00Go over to Agatha's Journal on Douglas Drive.

23:07It's just good people, so don't be all hostile with your big weird eyes and your bloody heads.

23:12Fuck off.

23:14You need a chill pill, Nick.

23:41You need a chill pill, Nick.

23:49It's gold, sure.

23:51But I'll only pay scrap for it.

23:53Eddie said you'd do better for us.

23:56Sure, if you guys do better for me.

23:59Look at this.

24:01No certified marks on the metal, craftsmanship's crude.

24:07Can't even dress it up.

24:11Next, please.

24:12Table and chairs are good.

24:14That inlay is real.

24:16Now those are excellent.

24:21It's a seance table.

24:23Like Ouija board seance?

24:27A bit more serious than that.

24:38What have we here?

24:45Have you ever seen it?

24:48Yes.

24:52Liber primus daimonia.

24:57Liber secundus simbolia.

25:05Liber tertius paralipsi.

25:11What does it mean?

25:13They're important, right?

25:15Valuable, I bet.

25:17Not my province.

25:19Who's that?

25:21I have an associate in mind.

25:30And this?

25:32I've never seen one like it.

25:33I have.

25:35Many times.

25:37Feel.

25:38She's a beauty.

25:42Gently.

25:43It gets brittle.

25:46Try. Touch.

25:51Can you guess the material?

25:55What?

25:57Human hair.

25:59Smell.

26:00Yeah.

26:01No thanks.

26:03I'll go call my guy about the books.

26:21good.

26:23It's Agatha.

26:25Jesus Christ.

26:27I'm at the store.

26:28I have a client here with some very interesting items.

26:32Right up your alley, you know what I mean?

26:36Come quickly.

26:39Trust me.

26:52Hello, my dear.

26:55How are you?

26:56This is Nick.

26:58Hello, hello.

27:00Take a look.

27:01What do you think?

27:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.

27:06Very interesting.

27:07This is indeed a seance table.

27:14It's exquisite.

27:16In 19th century Austria.

27:18The wood is white cedar and sandalwood treated in a very unique way.

27:28And arranged to facilitate the summoning of an entity.

27:34You see?

27:36The reddish tint on the lacquer.

27:39Guess what went into it?

27:42Eh?

27:43Sick fox.

27:51My God.

27:54I knew you'd be thrilled.

27:56Oh.

28:00Was there a force volume?

28:03Not that I saw.

28:04But it's possible you could have it.

28:08I've barely touched the unit.

28:10There's a life's worth of crap in there.

28:12The books.

28:13Ah, extremely rare.

28:15I would say 10,000 for all three.

28:18Well, well.

28:20How much for all four?

28:22If placed at the right auction with multiple buyers, in excess of $300,000.

28:31You see, the fourth volume is the rarest one.

28:34Liber quartus sacramentum.

28:39The most desirable piece.

28:42It's legendary.

28:44Full of symbols and spells to bind a demon to make it earthbound.

28:50Yeah?

28:52The demon?

28:53The reason that the fourth volume is the rarest is because it burns down completely at the end of the

29:02transaction with the purveyor of its favors.

29:07Except when...

29:11Cut the fucking drum roll, will you?

29:13You've got a tough case here, Rowley.

29:16Except when the demon has been betrayed, therefore unable to collect its debt.

29:22This transaction has to happen tonight.

29:27This...

29:28Is the payment for...

29:30For Count Delabre, the table and the chairs at the wreath.

29:34I donate to you mine liefchen, Agatha.

29:38For the referral...

29:39Dankeschön.

29:41But...

29:42If we find the missing fourth volume...

29:46I will write you a check for $300,000.

29:54My truck's outside.

29:56I'll drive us over there.

30:17Great.

30:18Now we're getting ass-fucked with rain on top of all this shit.

30:22Did you hurt your head on the windshield?

30:26Yeah.

30:26When I was rear-ending.

30:28When I was rear-ending.

30:30Do you mind closing the side window, please?

30:39I, uh...

30:41I have a confession to make.

30:44Jesus, really?

30:46You see, I know all about the family who owned the units that you bought.

30:54They were very rich.

30:56They made their money from steel in Europe and emirated to America at the end of World War II.

31:02They made weapons at Wolfram, the tanks.

31:07But for the wrong side.

31:09Yeah, I saw small war photos and a photo album in there.

31:13Whoever this guy was.

31:14Well, I hate to disabuse you on your palliative notion of good and evil, but...

31:18This man knew and did evil on a scale almost absolute.

31:22Well, God's got him now.

31:24Haha.

31:26Ah, yes.

31:27God.

31:28A silent strong type that loves to see us swarm with three-wheel and other delusions.

31:34But what about his adversary, eh?

31:37Relentless, feisty even.

31:40Whispering in our ears every waking moment, eh?

31:45Something tells me you traffic in the wrong, feisty side yourself there, Hans.

31:50Is this relevant to this transaction?

31:58The owner of the unit was a sick man.

32:02Gambled his fortune away.

32:04Destroyed his family.

32:06Never had enough of anything.

32:09Bottomless appetites.

32:12You understand?

32:14Yeah, another empty asshole.

32:17That's right.

32:18He moved in occult circles in Berlin and Vienna.

32:25And he invoked an entity.

32:29Offered it a vessel to occupy.

32:32To possess.

32:35His sister.

32:39Dottie Vollmer, I believe, was her name.

32:44It was quite the scandal.

32:48Did they ever find her?

32:50Love.

32:51Love.

32:52There's search strips.

32:54They're always futile.

32:57All right, enough.

32:58I'm not interested in any of this creep show shit you favor, okay?

33:01Anyway, we're here.

33:06Here.

33:07You've got to be kidding me.

33:09Put that away.

33:09No, no, no, no.

33:10The molten metal was collected from a very peculiar source.

33:15Bit by bit.

33:16You see, if we find the book, the light from the candelabra will yield protection.

33:20No offense, but shut the fuck up.

33:35You take the left side.

33:37We don't leave until we find it.

33:39Books don't spontaneously combust.
