The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
Verbal: He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say, his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever knew him or saw anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. One story the guys told me - the story I believe - was from his days in Turkey. There was a petty gang of Hungarians that wanted their own mob. They realized that to be in power you didn't need guns or money or even numbers. You just needed the will to do what the other guy wouldn't. After a while they come to power, and then they come after Soze He was small time then, just running dope, they say...
They come to his home in the afternoon looking for his business. They find his wife and kids in the house and decide to wait for Soze.He comes home to his wife raped and his children screaming. The Hungarians knew Soze was tough. Not to be trifled with. So they let him know they meant business. They tell Soze they want his territory - all his business. Soze looks over the faces of his family... Then he showed these men of will what will really was.
He tells him he would rather' see his family dead than live another day after this. He lets the last Hungarian go, and he goes running. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends.
He burns down the houses they live in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. No one has ever seen him again. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. If you rat on your pop, Keyser Soze will get you. And nobody really ever believes.
Kujan: Do you believe in him, Verbal?
Verbal: Keaton always said: "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only
thing that scares me is Keyser SOZE.
