00:00:01You have no experience. Why are you here?
00:00:07What did you film, or were you planning to sell it to the media?
00:00:15Get out.
00:00:18I only have three days, or my brother won't make it.
00:00:21This is my last resort.
00:00:28You have no experience. Why are you here?
00:00:31You're too deep in character. Your micro-expressions are slipping.
00:00:41Say that again.
00:00:43You're about to crack.
00:00:44Stay. Let's see how long you can last.
00:00:51I have no way back.
00:00:58What gives you the right to analyze me?
00:01:00Because I need to survive.
00:01:01Mr. Thorne wants you to stay. Start now.
00:01:04Okay.
00:01:08Stand there. You said I'm too deep in character. Prove it.
00:01:14You're pressing the book too hard, suppressing an urge to strike.
00:01:17That smile? Your eyes didn't move.
00:01:20It's a threat.
00:01:22What gives you the right to analyze me?
00:01:24Because I need to survive.
00:01:32Too slow.
00:01:34Terrible. The temperature is off.
00:01:39If you're still not satisfied, I'll keep going.
00:01:44You said I can't hold it together.
00:01:46You better pray I do, or you'll be the first one to suffer.
00:01:51I'm not afraid of bad luck. I'm only afraid of being broke.
00:02:00This isn't just a job. I've just stepped into the abyss.
00:02:08I'm humiliating you. Not angry.
00:02:16How long did you sleep last night?
00:02:19Not enough.
00:02:20Feeling self-inspired?
00:02:23For the paycheck?
00:02:29What are you thinking?
00:02:32You want to drive me away?
00:02:34But for me, survival is enough.
00:02:41I'm humiliating you. Not angry.
00:02:45It's only humiliation if I accept it.
00:02:49Julian, your standards for assistance have dropped.
00:02:56How she is, is not for you to judge.
00:03:01One day left.
00:03:09Investigate her. I want to know what she's fighting for.
00:03:13Your mother needs immediate surgery. At least $300,000.
00:03:23Beverly Hills Cellar. 1990 Roman A. Conte.
00:03:27You go. Two hours. One minute late. Don't bother coming back.
00:03:40I have to get it. It's the only card I have left. Open up.
00:03:44Your mother needs immediate surgery. At least $300,000.
00:03:51On time.
00:03:55Are you insane?
00:03:57Are you insane?
00:03:58You'd risk your life for a bottle of wine.
00:04:04I won this round.
00:04:07But I'm one step closer to the edge.
00:04:11He's not just difficult. He's fighting something dangerous.
00:04:16You think this is a test.
00:04:19You could have said no.
00:04:21I need this job.
00:04:25You can take the day off.
00:04:27You can barely stand.
00:04:33I can still work. What's next?
00:04:42He's not just difficult. He's fighting something dangerous.
00:04:52Arya.
00:04:54Don't be late tomorrow. Don't die.
00:04:58Julian.
00:05:06Final 12 hours. Arya.

00:05:13I won't stop.
00:05:21Call an ambulance! Now!
00:05:24I told you not to die. Do you hear me?
00:05:32Three hours of sleep.
00:05:34Enough for you.
00:05:37Enough.
00:05:44This carpet costs $100,000. Why didn't you just give up?
00:05:47Because I need the money.
00:05:49Don't bring filth inside. I get it.
00:05:57Can't fall.
00:05:59Or small. At least not here.
00:06:04Action!
00:06:04See you tomorrow.
00:06:20Call an ambulance! Now!
00:06:24I told you not to die. Do you hear me?
00:06:30Don't move. If you want to die, don't do it on my carpet.
00:06:36Get a doctor now!
00:06:41You think you can stand? You're dying, don't you get it?

00:42:16for timing
00:42:36you met with her didn't you?
00:42:40what did she say to you?
00:42:42I thought walking into the rain
00:42:44would wash away the choice
00:42:46I was wrong
00:42:48the rain only makes
00:42:50the cost heavier

00:56:49I've ever made a decision for myself
00:57:00a pawn
00:57:02or just a tool to prove your freedom
00:57:05when that ring hit the floor
00:57:08I didn't hear the sound of metal
00:57:12I heard the sound of him tearing down his own godhead
00:57:19you've left yourself with no way back
