"Hey!" "(GRUNTING)" "(WOMAN SCREAMING)" "(CROWD GASPING)" "The head!" "Aim for the head!" "Still here, you son of a bitch!" "(WHOOPING)" "(GROANS)" "Ow!" "My ass!" "MAN:" "What is that?" "(GRUNTING)" "(YELLING)" "Whoo-hoo!" "Coming through!" "(PEOPLE SCREAMING)" "Excuse me, pardon me." "Yeehaw!" "(ROARS)" "Here I come!" "Yeah." "(DEADO LAUGHING)" "Relax body."

"(SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE)" "(TIRES SCREECHING)" "(GASPS)" "Thank you very much." "(DEADO LAUGHING)" "I've never seen one like that before." "Never!" "Never before has this happened!" "Congratulations, guys, on your unprecedented cock-up!" "All right!" "You let an exposed Deado loose on the streets in the middle of the day." "You were supposed to contain." "That is your most basic job." "There was no containing that thing." "And you failed spectacularly to contain." "He's right, sweetie pie." "It was different." "We have evidence." "You don't investigate, you don't get creative." "You do as you're told." "When you don't, this happens." "It was terrifying." "Whatever rampaged through the streets of Boston today was not human." "Now look where we are." "You get to deal with them." "Who in this endless stream of freaks is "them"?" "Eternal Affairs." "The hammer's dropping." "(RUMBLING)" "Well?" "They're pissed." "Justifiably." "However, apparently, you stumbled upon something important." "(LAUGHS) Don't act so surprised, honey pot." "The gold that officers Pulsipher and Walker brought in are part of an incredibly dangerous artifact known as the Staff of Jericho." "Oh, crap." "Maybe feather it in for the new guy a little bit?" "Remember the tunnel we pulled you out of when you died?" "That's the only way to get to the afterlife." "It's a one-way street." "This artifact, if built, reverses the tunnel." "The dead rain down on the earth." "That's it for the living world." "Yeah, massive destruction." "We broke it to pieces 3,000 years ago." "Now it's back." "Until we get the rest of the gold, we're on red alert." "Also, apparently, you need "the blood of thine enemy."" "There are more diagrams." "Why?" "Why would someone make something like that?" "Come on!" "Here I am, willing the streets into order, making headway, year after dominant year!" "And now, everything I've done is being threatened because of some ancient totem forged for kicks by some asshole 5,000 years ago?" "Why even try?" "I mean, how am I supposed to do it?" "Look at you." "So proud of yourself." ""I got an important tube."" "(CHUCKLES)" "What?" "Well, what is it?" "(CLEARS THROAT)" "Actually, it looks like you two don't need to concern yourselves with the red alert." "It brings me no pleasure to inform you that because of your recent epic failure, you've both been suspended, you're off the case." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "What?" "Hold on a sec, we are the case." "We're the ones who brought it in!" "The feeling is that luck was involved." "There'll be a formal hearing tomorrow, after which you'll most likely be erased." ""Erased"?" "So in this moment of crisis, they're gonna suspend and then erase their best officer?" "And this other guy?" "Better officers are taking over." "No such thing." "Name one." "Jacobson, DuBow." "Waterson." "Come on." "Carson." "Jackson." "He's pretty good." "That guy who works at the taco cart." "Shall I go on?" "Okay, okay!" "Tomorrow is my last day?" "Most likely." "I'm sorry." "Well, shit." "Miss Proctor, it's been a delight." "Roy, thank you very much for your mentorship." "I'm sure it meant a lot to you." "I got somewhere more important to be." "(PANTING)" "Who are you?" "Why are you following me?" "Stay away from me." "I haven't left you." "It's me." "No." "ROY:" "So." "Congratulations." "You finally did it." "You get what you wanted?" "I might get erased tomorrow." "What do you think I'm gonna do?" "You're freaking her out, if you haven't noticed." "I'm not from a time of sensitivities and emotionalism." "And yes, in my day, I bought my love by the hour." "But I do know that what you're doing is not helping." "It's called haunting, hoss." "You're causing her pain." "Why do you think we're here?" "Why we do what we do?" "It's so that Julia can have a world to live in." "And, yeah, that means without you." "She needs to survive you." "Meet someone new, maybe have a family." "Because you are not coming back." "Even" "The job is all you have now." "Well, we don't have the job anymore." "Nick." "Resolve your crap." "Do like me." "Like you?" "Yes, emulate my peace." "Your Zen-like calm?" "It's taken me a very long time to achieve this state." "You could get there, too, but for your weakness." "You know what?" "I've had it." "I can't listen to one more self-righteous chestnut out of your mouth." "I don't want to live in your weird past with you." "Speaking of which, those coyotes..." "You be careful now." "Those coyotes who ate your bones and crapped out your face?" "In that story, the coyotes are the heroes." "Hey." "You may think the Old West was all shits and giggles, and sarsaparilla and two-cent whores." "It wasn't!" "It was smelly, it was violent." "It was ridden with dysentery and no-account Injuns." "I've had a lot of anger to get past, okay?" "And you..." "You, Nick, are bringing a lot of shit out that I've been suppressing for a very long time!" "One of them coyotes, he made love to my skull." "Do you know what that practice is commonly called?" "I do." "And I certainly hope he got both eyes, Roy." "ROY: (SINGING) Words, like daggers stab our heart" "Boys" "Gotta be the better man" "The song is called Better Man." "Yeah, I got that." "People, they can break your heart" "Boys" "Like no coyote ever can" "Maybe I took things a little too far." ""Maybe"?" "I'm sorry." "You ought to take up an instrument, Nick." "It might be a tuneful way for you to spend what may be your last moments." "You were right about the job, Roy." "We gotta get back out there." ""Sus-pen-dato."" "If they want me back, they're gonna have to beg." "I'm not gonna take this lying down." "You?" "Are you gonna sit there and mope?" "Or do you want to help me stop an apocalypse?" "When you put it that way, hell, you kind of paint me into a corner." "I know Hayes is sitting on some of that gold." "There's no way he's just a bagman." "Let me ask you something." "Did he like Indian food?" "He was not a fan." "But something's bugging me." "I rode with this guy for five years, I never noticed any kind of" ""soul stank."" "I heard talk of a rare kind of artifact that could mask it." "Like a spiritual deodorant." "It would be something he carried with him all the time." "Like Grandma's Saint Christopher medal." "ROY:" "That'd do her." "Let's go pop the son of a bitch." "(ACCORDION PLAYS OFF-KEY NOTE)" "Do you know what to do?" "Oh, yeah." "I've been waiting a long time for this." "You've been waiting a long time?" "Do you know how many years Deados have been trying to pull this off?" "Three thousand." "Not one of those jag-offs could get all that gold together, until me." "(LAUGHS EVILLY)" "R.I.P.D. is not gonna know what hit them." "Now, go find yourself some trouble." "My pleasure." "BOBBY:" "Hey, Julia." "Hey." "I need to talk to you." "Something really strange happened to me." "What's going on?" "I was at the track last night, and do you remember that guy at the funeral?" "The little Chinese guy?" "The one who was yelling?" "Slow down, slow down." "Take a deep breath." "I don't know." "Somehow, I feel like it's Nick who's trying to talk to me." "Okay." "I know it sounds crazy." "I know you miss him." "I miss him, too." "I don't think you should be alone right now." "I'm gonna come pick you up, and I'm gonna take you to lunch and we could talk about everything." "All right?" "Okay." "All right." "Thank you for this." "Absolutely." "I'll see you later." "Take the front." "I'll go around back." "Works for me." "(WOLF-WHISTLE)" "Bobby Hayes?" "Yeah?" "I need to ask you a few questions involving a tandoori clay oven." "Sweetheart, you can ask me anything you want." "Make yourself comfortable." "How about a little drinky-poo?" "Sure." "I'll wet my beak." "Coming right up." "Are you looking for this?" "Nice moves," "Nick." "(LAUGHS)" "Hey, tough look to pull off." "I'm getting used to it." "(CHUCKLING)" "You know, it was just business." "(COCKS RIFLE) Make a move, please." "ROY:" "Easy, Nick." ""It's late on Ash Wednesday."" "We can skip that part, Roy." "Take off the Saint Christopher's medal." "Now." "Okay." "Powerful stank." "Where's the gold, dead man?" "Check the water heater." "Freaking super cop, here." "ROY:" "All right, saddle up." "We're gonna ride you in." "I know it's wrong, but the whole cowboy-talk thing, it's kind of working for me." "(SIGHS)" "(SIRENS WAILING)" "What do you got to smile about?" "(GOLD THUDS)" "Hey, how do you like working with this guy?" "He hangs on a little tight to stuff, huh?" "What we got together is none of your damn business." "Where's the rest of the gold, Hayes?" "See what I mean?" "He won't let it die." "Hey, Nick, remember when I got shot?" "I got that medal, and you couldn't believe I pulled through?" "Wild guess, you didn't pull through?" "Get killed by some junkie and go to hell because I took a little on the side to pay for lap dances?" "No." "I don't think so." "Who gets to make that call?" "I don't accept it." "Hey, let me ask you something." "What do you think eternal punishment is gonna be like, Hayes?" "Hell can kiss my ass." "I'm staying right here." ""Lap dancing."" "OFFICER:" "That's a nice look you got." "That's nice, with the face and the hair." "All right, sit down." "Hey." "You might want to book that gold before your partner gets his hands on it." "What's this?" "That's personal." "Then it gets booked, along with this gold that I brought in." "That's right, doll face." "Despite my chicken-shit suspension." "I'm available for a tutorial-type thing, if you or the guys want a few tips." "Maybe get yourselves up near my level." "Why did I have to love you?" "We had a beautiful moment in time." "Catastrophic mistake." "Run it down, but you felt what you felt." "Take a seat." "This is good, it's gonna help me get over the shot-in-the-face thing." "Whatever is waiting for you on the other side is gonna be bad." "Don't worry, it's only forever." "ROY:" "Stash this gold with the rest of it." "And here." "Hey, we just booked something just like this." "It's in the basket over there." "You're gonna need to fill out another form." "I'd love to." "I've got nothing else better to do." "There's one decent thing about being a Deado, right?" "Mmm-hmm." "We can't hear certain frequencies so well." "(DEADOS CHUCKLE)" "Roy!" "(YELLING)" "(ROY GROANS)" "(PEOPLE SCREAMING)" "Come on, Nicky." "You thought I'd let you bring me here if I didn't want to be here all along?" "Isn't this thing sweet?" "It freezes you guys up, does nothing to us." "They got one of these artifacts for everything." "(GROANING)" "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" "Go, go, go!" "Come on!" "Get the gold." "Take everything!" "MALE DEADO:" "It's all there?" "Uh-huh." "Catch!" "Fill up all these hands." "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "What's up?" "MALE DEADO 1:" "Peace." "MALE DEADO 2:" "Flush it." "No!" "The gold!"

"(LAUGHING)" "(GRUNTING)" "Damn it!" "It's jammed up." "(GRUNTING)" "Just like Main Street, Dodge City." "Them dudes, they picked the wrong venue to make a stand." "I invented this shit." "(GRUNTING)" "Hot!" "I fixed it!" "Yeah!" "Phew!" "(CRACKING)" "Go time!" "Let's learn you a few things about Old West fighting." "First, only a novice hides in a church steeple." "It's the first place I'm gonna look." "Second place, hotel window, every time." "Hmm." "I guess there's only one novice in their crew." "Sometimes, the window guy is on the roof." "I haven't seen that before." "Must be the massive destruction Proctor was talking about." "ROY:" "Saddle up!" "MALE OFFICER:" "Hey, Julia." "Hayes sent us to give you a lift." "Guys, I can still drive." "It's pretty hairy out there." "He's just worried about you." "Close it up." "All right." "Lock it up." "Nobody gets through to the Commonwealth building." "Nobody!" "(GRUNTING)" "(TIRES SCREECHING)" "Looks like the big one is right over the Commonwealth building." "That's where he'll be headed." "Yeah." "Good read." "You're agreeing with me?" "That's weird."
