Speaker 9: hardly the scrawny pop I rescued fifteen years ago. She's
Speaker 9: your girl. Why can't you just go? We didn't part
Speaker 9: on the best terms. I doubt she'd even be willing
Speaker 9: to see me. But you, on the other hand, you
Speaker 9: can be very.
Speaker 2: Persuasive, Marcus. You know I would never question in order
Speaker 2: without good reason. But this is just.

Speaker 1: Marcus, you know me better than anybody on this planet.
Speaker 1: You know I'm not gonna go behind your back on
Speaker 1: some crazy shat make me second.
Speaker 11: Guess my generosity by lying in me. You do this
Speaker 11: last job for me, and I let you retire early
Speaker 11: with a golden parachute. This is your chance to get
Speaker 11: out of here and do what you really want. Nicholas,
Speaker 11: take it.

Speaker 1: she meant to Marcus, but to me, she meant to
Speaker 1: chance had a new life.
Speaker 4: Who says, I'm looking.

Speaker 2: convince it to come.
Speaker 6: I can give you four days for what That's.
Speaker 1: A pretty quick fucking turnaround.
Speaker 9: Really, I thought I was being generous given your skill set.
Speaker 2: Look, I'm flattered, really, but no more.
Speaker 9: Buts just do whatever it takes to get her back here.
Speaker 2: Yes, whatever it takes, meaning you want, I don't.
Speaker 9: Like to microman it. Use whatever methods you see fit.
Speaker 9: But the second she's back in here, you back off,
Speaker 9: no questions asked.
Speaker 8: Of course, that won't be a problem.
Speaker 9: Please, You've never met a mark you couldn't grow a
Speaker 9: saut spot for.
Speaker 2: You always get too involved, Kit, That's.
Speaker 9: Why you're not cut out for this in the long run,
Speaker 9: no matter how hard a punch you could throw. But
Speaker 9: I'm gonna need you to keep that heart of gold

Speaker 1: especially on Acon.
Speaker 12: Who said I'm on vacation, And what brings you down here?
Speaker 2: If not? Is this a business trip.
Speaker 12: Or it's kind of personal.
Speaker 2: That's all right.
Speaker 1: You don't have to get into it right now, but
Speaker 1: you could tell me over a drink later if you
Speaker 1: want to pick up what we left.
Speaker 12: Off where you left me sitting alone at the bar,
Speaker 12: Is that what you mean?
Speaker 2: Well? You know what they say, what always leave them

Speaker 2: What No, I ain't say nothing.
Speaker 12: Your mouth didn't, but that look on your face is sure.
Speaker 1: Speaking volumes just doesn't seem like a good idea to
Speaker 1: be leaving the resort, especially at night.
Speaker 12: Elena's lived here for years. I'll be in good hands
Speaker 12: with her. Don't worry.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, but two women alone out there
Speaker 1: just doesn't sound too safe.

Speaker 12: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Hey, listen, worried about you?
Speaker 5: Well, I'm not yours to worry about. And besides, we

Speaker 5: people around, don't you worry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the other people you have to watch out for. Well,
Speaker 1: in my experience, we should probably head back. I'd love
Speaker 1: to check out the festival with you.
Speaker 12: I'm really just trying to hang with Elena tonight.
Speaker 2: I'm sure Elena wouldn't mind me taking along with you.
Speaker 12: Oh oh, okay, I see what this is. You wanted
Speaker 12: to be the one to show me the real island?
Speaker 12: Is that right?
Speaker 2: You called me?

Speaker 9: Good morning, mister Alexander, Can I offer you a little
Speaker 9: post run bloody Mary?
Speaker 2: No, I'm good, thank you.
Speaker 1: But as I walked back to my room, I had
Speaker 1: a feeling it wasn't just a hotel that had a
Speaker 1: nailed me. Someone was following me, and I just wouldn't do.
Speaker 2: Get off my fucking.
Speaker 13: Tail, hold on just me, Jesus Christ, diego, don't sneak
Speaker 13: up on me like that.
Speaker 2: Man almost threw you down the fucking stairs. You all right?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 6: Not really?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man, I felt like someone was following me.
Speaker 1: My instincts just took over.
Speaker 6: Those are your instincts.
Speaker 2: Since I've been here, I've been paranoid as fuck.
Speaker 6: Damn what were you doing this morning? Run a marathon?
Speaker 2: Now? But I did run and see a girl on
Speaker 2: the beach this morning.
Speaker 3: And.
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool. I knew you were into her. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you really called it.
Speaker 6: It's like something out of a movie. Bro a windsweat beach,
Speaker 6: two beautiful strangers.
Speaker 8: Oh man, I've got chills.
Speaker 2: I get inside, would you. I don't know who might
Speaker 2: be listening. This place is making a paranoid.
Speaker 1: It's not the resort that's got me looking over my shoulder. Man,
Speaker 1: it's the rest of the island.
Speaker 2: What do you mean.
Speaker 1: I've got history here. Some people might not be excited
Speaker 1: to see me back.
Speaker 6: But that's on the past, right. I'm sure people have
Speaker 6: moved on by now.
Speaker 1: They might be the past, but I'm sure they still
Speaker 1: see me as a threat, and they're not wrong.
Speaker 2: You don't seem very optimistic for a guy who's fresh
Speaker 2: off of me cute. Well, let's just say there's some
Speaker 2: complicated factors.
Speaker 8: Ah, she got a boyfriend.
Speaker 2: Hard to say. What I do know is that she's
Speaker 2: going into town with Atlanta later tonight for the festival.
Speaker 2: Oh you know about it?
Speaker 6: Of course.
Speaker 10: The whole island's going to be in party mode tonight.
Speaker 10: It's our big end of the season celebration.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, really, the festival I remember was a small
Speaker 1: neighborhood thing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's been getting bigger every year.
Speaker 9: We locals still have our fun, but the whole thing's
Speaker 9: become a tourist magnet.
Speaker 2: No fens or anything.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 6: Some tourists can hang obviously.
Speaker 2: So it's I'm not a tourist.
Speaker 1: There you go, of course, Boss, I'm gonna need you
Speaker 1: to help me figure out where it's gonna be at later.
Speaker 2: You got it.
Speaker 6: Elena and I go way back.
Speaker 2: I can ask her where they're gonna be.
Speaker 1: Thanks, but I need you to drive me there and
Speaker 1: stick around too, in case for me to make a
Speaker 1: quick exit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, can you at lease tell me what you're so
Speaker 6: worried about?
Speaker 2: So I know what to look out for, but you
Speaker 2: don't trust me.
Speaker 9: I get this is no questions ask kind of deal,
Speaker 9: but I still appreciate a few answers.
Speaker 1: Boss, I know what sucks being kept in the dark,
Speaker 1: So maybe this can help brighten you move.
