[00:02:41]That's all we should care about.

[00:02:44]>> Anyway, I want you to go to neighborhoods and pass out our leaflets.

[00:04:24]Impossible.

[00:04:27]What a tragedy.

[00:04:29][panting and gasps] I was so close. [laughter] I'm very happy for you.

[00:04:36]Your family would be delighted. Like, they may still be here. Even you have Guinea. Yeah. They left only only a few.

[00:04:44]Oh god. Kill me.

[00:05:27]Visor.

[00:05:29]Albert Visor. Mr. Visor, it is a mistake. Do you understand that? It is an absolute dreadful mistake. I must be dead.

[00:05:43]You You're You're not excited, are you?

[00:05:47]>> Of course I'm not.

[00:05:50]But I don't understand, Mr. Moore.

[00:05:54]No, actually, you don't understand. I mean, it's it's not like it's hell or anything like that.

[00:06:01]You are alive, Mr. Moore.

[00:06:05]I walk you down off without your catch cold. You should help me. was so close.

[00:06:12][snorts] You know, I I I totally understand, Mr. Moore.

[00:06:23]You must be experiencing this extraordinary sensations right now. I mean, it's called cognitive shock. I believe it's got misty mind.

[00:06:33]>> Shut up.

[00:06:34]>> Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

[00:06:37]Listen, Mr. Visor, unfortunately, my mind is clear, and despite what you think, I'm not experiencing any kind of shock. I just want you to kill me.

[00:06:53]So, but how? I mean, I don't make people come to me like that.

[00:06:59]>> I would jump from the bridge if I could, but I cannot commit suicide. It will be considered an act outside of the contract.

[00:07:07]>> Contract who? What? What are you talking about?

[00:07:17][sighs] I understand now.

[00:07:22]Oh, what a deadly interesting tendency going on these days. Is it a lot of money?

[00:07:28]>> Quite enough.

[00:07:31]It's time to [music] pay for my mistakes.

[00:07:34]>> Well, I should have charged you more.

[00:07:35]Then >> if you kill me now with poison, for instance, you will get a full payment, and I guarantee you a reward.

[00:07:46]Oh, Mr. Visor, you don't want to know my story. This money must go to my wife. It is the only thing I can do to atone for my living. You are talking to a dead person.

[00:08:01]>> Indeed.

[00:08:02]This was left after one of those crazy nights of gambling women and morphine.

[00:08:15]They thought I was dead.

[00:08:19]I don't even know who left it enough.

[00:08:23]>> Well, that is quite a terrific taste you have there, Mr. Moore. Gambling, morphine, women. Well, judging by your wife, women nowadays still have some sense of humor.

[00:08:33]>> How dare you?

[00:08:36]You have no idea with what kind of women I had. Affairs.

[00:08:42]Look at yourself. You hardly know anything about women.

[00:08:47]I've bedded more women than you can possibly imagine.

[00:08:50]>> Your wife died then. And my wife, Mrs. Moore, she is an angel. One bad word about her. You are dead.

[00:08:58]Oh, I hope she didn't see this. The greatest woman of my life with only one imperfection, not enough moles on her body.

[00:09:07]>> I don't want to know any of this.

[00:09:09]>> You know, I had this insatiable interest in moles and freckles. I consider these marks to be the most sensual, mysterious part of a woman's body.

[00:09:23]Somehow I discovered that only morphine addicted female creatures had them in beautiful quantities.

[00:09:31]You cannot imagine where they can be hidden.

[00:09:35]Once I met Anetta, she had 13 moles on her neck. 13.

[00:09:45]Some of them formed a star.

[00:09:49]Emma had them on her palms. Very unique.

[00:09:55]Did you ever notice that people rarely have moles on their palms?

[00:10:03]Once I had a relationship with an absolutely unique [music] creature. She had freckles over exactly half of her beautiful face.

[00:10:19]>> [sighs] >> What an inconvenience you've caused me, Mr. Moore.

[00:10:23]Now I have to subtract the expenses that I've already charged you. Count how much to give back to you, if any.

[00:10:30]>> Oh, please, Mr. Visor.

[00:10:32]>> Your mind is deluded. You are suffering from delirium, and I'm calling a carriage.

[00:10:40]Nice to have met you, Mr. Miracle.

[00:10:47]Miracle, Mr. Moore.

[00:10:52]Miracle. You are a miracle.

[00:10:56]I had thought of it like that.

[00:10:59]You woke up from death, Mr. [music] Moore. You don't have to die now.

[00:11:04]I'm just a witness, right? Completely indifferent third party, right? This has been in my family business for more than 25 years. No one will doubt my reputation, my friend. And you don't have to die anymore.

[00:11:18]>> Oh, kill me.

[00:11:19]>> You said money, right, Mr. Moore?

[00:11:22]Insurance money. Well, now [music] you can do more, Mr. Moore. A lot more.

[00:11:27]Believe me.

[00:11:29]Have you read the newspapers lately?

[00:11:32]Freak shows everywhere.

[00:11:35]No, I'm not saying that you're a freak or anything like that, Mr. Moore. It's just that people love everything weird.

[00:11:43]Let me show you.

[00:11:54]not be bad.

[00:11:57]>> Look, they pay good money for this.

[00:12:01]These shows are so popular that they travel around the whole world. Do you see what I'm saying, Mr. Moore?

[00:12:06]>> Not exactly.

[00:12:08]>> We could make a lot of money from your awakening.

[00:12:12]You are a miracle now. Oh, Mr. Visor, believe me, better times have passed.

[00:12:18]People have grown wiser. These money schemes will not work anymore.

[00:12:22]>> Mr. Moore, Mr. Moore, how mistaken you are. The doctor confirmed that you were dead two days ago. I will confirm your sudden awakening. Voila.

[00:12:33]We can split the money. Mr. Moore, this town knows me and my family. Every other departed soul has been through me.

[00:12:41]people from from from newspapers, from university. Oh, I bet they would die to do an exclusive interview with you.

[00:12:49]Seminars all over the world.

[00:12:53]>> How much do you think we'll make?

[00:12:55]>> Now you're talking, Mr. Moore. Now you're talking. Much more than your insurance policy. I guarantee you that.

[00:13:01]I mean, do you understand it? People are just dying to see something extraordinary.

[00:13:09]I mean, of course, we we will have to change your style a little bit.

[00:13:12]>> Oh, stop it, Mr. Visor. You're so pathetic. I beg your pardon.

[00:13:19]Bloody hell.

[00:13:21]How could one with so much entrepreneurial talent end up here?

[00:13:26]Methyl solicite? No.

[00:13:31]Rosemary extract?

[00:13:33]>> No.

[00:13:34]What is your unfulfilled desire to pretend that your existence is worth something? You are a pathetic clown. Mr. Visor, do you see anything else except dead bodies?

[00:13:49]I clearly see a living corpse in front of me. A corpse with intelligence and a desperate wish to die again.

[00:14:02]You have no idea what drives a person who knows what real life is. Life with regret and sorrow. Life full of passion and love. Love for dermatological defects. Is that what you mean?

[00:14:15]>> Oh, Mr. Visor, [music] when I see people like you, so miserable yet pretentious, I wonder if I should hate my own life.

[00:14:24]>> And I wonder if I should help you find that poison. Now, Mr. Look at him. Boy got offended.

[00:14:33]You knew.

[00:14:36]You are right.

[00:14:38]I'm a miracle.

[00:14:40]The one and only with my own right to choose the next chapter of my life.

[00:14:46]>> Cover ball.

[00:14:48]>> Two days ago, I wanted a dick enough to kill you 10 times over, Mr. M.

[00:14:54]>> This is a miracle. You are right. This is my second chance. I need to go. Thank you for showing me whom I don't want to be anymore.

[00:15:07]I think I saw exactly this while I was sleeping.

[00:15:10]>> Well, that must have been a horrible nightmare. Good thing that you woke up then, eh? That is mine, sir.

[00:15:19]Albert, go home. Live your life. You better start now before you realize you spent all your life in silence.

[00:15:30]Go to your wife. Go outside. It's dangerous, exciting, dirty, smelly, and unbelievably beautiful out there.

[00:15:40]You are deluded.

[00:15:47]Oh well, [sighs] this is my second chance and I want to go back to my life now.

[00:15:55]>> Don't worry, Afghani. He wasn't dead when he came in.

[00:15:59]>> Is not dead yet.

[00:16:02]>> Oh my lord, you scared me. [laughter] How unusual to see Albert with a live person.

[00:16:07]>> Hello.

[00:16:08]>> Good morning.

[00:16:09]>> Well, it is afternoon already. But >> Mr. Moore, is that you? How did you know this gentleman? [clears throat] And what are you doing here?

[00:16:15]>> Mr. Moore is the owner of a shop I go to every Saturday. Right, Mr. Moore?

[00:16:19]>> What shop? What? Every Saturday.

[00:16:22]>> I came to talk to you.

[00:16:28]>> Bloody hell.

[00:16:30]>> Do you know my wife?

[00:16:32]>> No.

[00:16:34]Bloody hell to me. SHE ONE OF THE ONES YOU WAS TELLING ME ABOUT.

[00:16:38]>> I SWEAR I DON'T REMEMBER HER. OH, these freckles. NO, WE NEVER MET.

[00:16:43]>> ALBERT, ARE YOU CRAZY? You can.

[00:16:45]>> That's exactly why he's here.

[00:16:50]>> Albert, you are sick. What are you doing? You're going crazy here.

[00:16:55]>> I'm asking you for the last time. How do you know this, man?

[00:16:59]>> Mr. Moore, are you okay? Can you breathe?

[00:17:03]>> I always knew you were sick, Albert. Oh, my lord. I came to say we need to separate.

[00:17:12][cough and clears throat] >> What did you say?

[00:17:15]>> You heard me well, Albert. I should have done it much sooner. I I care about you.

[00:17:19]Make sure you go to see Dr. Nume, but I can't stand this life anymore. It's I'm alive and I'm sick of being your wife.

[00:17:27]>> What did you say?

[00:17:30]>> Yes. Locked here. You You only talk to dead people. You hate anything that lives and you smell like a dead person.

[00:17:44]My lord, we killed him. He can't breathe now.

[00:17:49]>> What?

[00:17:51]>> You are a murderer.

[00:17:53]>> You've gi Albert killed that man and he tried to kill me.

[00:17:58]>> What's happened to you?

[00:18:00]>> Stop it. [music] Did you just He is dead.

[00:18:22]I came to get a divorce and now now he's dead.

[00:18:30]>> Is he dead?

[00:18:33]He is dead.

[00:18:37]>> He's not cold yet.

[00:18:40]>> But he's already dead.

[00:18:43]>> Is he definitely dead?

[00:18:51]>> What about him?

[00:18:58]He >> He was dead when he arrived.

[00:19:03]But then Albert [music] killed him.

[00:19:30]Heat.

[00:19:33][music] [music] Heat.

[00:19:54]Heat. [music] [music] Heat.

[00:20:11][music] >> [music] >> Heat.

[00:20:27][music] Heat.
