Lucy

Life was given to us a billion years ago.

What have we done with it?

Lucy.

It's easy as pie. In and out, all done and dusted.

And why don't you do it yourself?

The last thing the guy's expecting

is a total 10 turning up to deliver the case.

It'll blow his mind. Come on!

What's in it?

Sweetheart!

Don't get paranoid on me, all right?

You trust me, don't you?

Fuck!

Richard, I really do like you.

But I have to take care of myself right now.

I don't know. I've got to concentrate on so many things.

Hey, hey. What are you doing?

I'm going home, because I have exams on Monday.

I have to shower and I have to study, okay?

You know what? The other day, I was in this museum.

And you know what I found out? What?

The first ever woman was named Lucy.

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

Yeah.

No.

I'll call you. Okay?

Okay, okay, okay.

I'll be honest with you.

I can't deliver the case myself.

I had a little falling-out with the guy.

It's nothing major, but if it's you, problem solved.

You walk in there, you go up to the reception,

you ask for Mr. Jang to come down.

He comes down, he takes the case,

you flash him your prettiest smile

and bounce.

Look! You can even see the reception from here.

Come on.

What's in the case?

I don't know, it's just some paperwork.

Yeah? Let's see it then.

It's locked. And only Mr. Jang has the code.

I'm just the delivery boy.

Do you get paid to do this?

Yeah, kind of.

Like how much?

Okay! We are negotiating now or...

No, no. How much do you get paid? I want to know how much.

A thousand dollars.

You get paid a thousand dollars

for delivering paperwork? Really?

I don't know. It takes me 10 minutes and they pay me a grand

and the rest is none of my business.

Well, it's none of my business either, I'll tell you now.

Listen! What?

We split it down the middle. Hmm?

That's 500 for you, and 500 for me.

Richard, I will call you.

Listen, it's the third time this week,

I'm showing up in the same hotel, with the same cowboy hat.

Oh.

Problem solved!

Go, go. I'll wait for you. Go.

Lucy, honey...

I've done this a dozen times.

It's paperwork.

It's probably just some designs

they switched so they can copy them.

That's how it works in this country.

Even my Stetson was made here. Look.

Says so on the label, "Made in Taiwan."

So long, cowboy with the fake Stetson.

Baby, please.

Richard, I got to go. And seriously...

What the hell are you doing? I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. I really need your help.

Stop! Stop it! Take this off me right now!

I can't. Take this off me right now!

I can't, Mr. Jang's the only one who has the key.

All you have to do is go into the hotel

and ask for him at the reception.

No! Take it off me right now!

I'm so sorry. I really have no choice.

The sooner you go in, the sooner you'll be back out!

I can't believe you did this to me.

I'll be right here. You have my word.

Your word isn't worth shit!

It's worth 500 bucks, up front.

You're an asshole.

And you're wonderful.

Miss, may I help you?

Uh, yes.

I'm here for, uh...

Mr. Jang.

Yes, um...

Who should I say is here?

Richard.

Um, Richard sent me.

What is your name?

No, Richard.

Richard's... He's just looking for a place to park.

Mr. Jang still wants to know your name.

Lucy.

Lucy what?

Just Lucy. If he could be quick, because I have to...

Just a second while I translate.

Mr. Jang is on his way. Stay right here.

Can I sit?

Mr. Jang said you need to stay right here.

I think it's better if you stay right here.

Excuse me.

Regent Hotel.

No!

No!

Please. Please!

Please!

I don't know anything!

I don't know anything! Please! Please!

No! Please!

Hmm.

Do you speak English?

Lucy! Yes, I'm Lucy.

This has just been a terrible mistake.

I'm just supposed to deliver this case.

If you lost the key, you don't have to chop off my hand.

You can just cut the chain, okay?

Please.

I'm begging you, please.

No, no, no!

Please.

Please!

Hello, miss. I speak English. I translate for Mr. Jang.

Please tell him that I haven't done anything. I don't know anything.

It's all just a big mistake, okay? Please tell him that.

Yes, okay, okay. Hold on.

Mr. Jang wants to know what's in the case.

No, I don't know what's in the case.

Do you speak English or don't you speak English?

Yes, I do. I studied one year at International High School in New York.

Okay.

Richard gave me the case to give to you, that's all I know.

Okay? Please tell him that.

He gave me a paper with numbers written on it. What is this?

It's the code to open the case.

What's really in here?

Nothing dangerous.

So why won't he open it himself?

He doesn't trust Mr. Richard.

I don't trust Richard, either.

I only dated him for a week.

Okay, okay, okay.

Mr. Jang insists that you open the case. Okay, okay.

Please, God, help me.

He wants you to hurry up.

Mr. Jang has other things to do.

Can you describe the contents of the case?

It's four plastic pouches filled with a blue powder. Like a...

Maybe a purple powder.

I don't know. It looks gross.

Mr. Jang wants to offer you a job.

A job?

I don't want a job.

If life starts approximately a billion years ago,

we will have to wait 400,000 years

to see the aberration of the first nerve cells.

This is where life as we know it begins.

Brains in formation of only a few milligrams.
