End Of Days (1999) Movie Script
Oculus Deum.
She must be killed!
She was chosen
to bear his child.
If she lives to bring about the End
of Days, there will be no redemption.
All our souls
will perish.
Tomaso.
Okay,
now give me a big push.
That's it.
You're doing great.
That's it. Okay, stop pushing.
... five, six, seven...
I have the baby's head.
Don't push yet.
One little push oughta finish
this off. One little push.
You have
a beautiful baby girl.
She's so beautiful!
Just gonna take her
and clean her up.
Not yet. Hospital rules.
Please. You'll have her
back before you know it.
Here she is.
All fresh and clean.
You thought of a name
for her yet? Christine.
Her name is Christine.
Happy birthday,
Christine.
WBAZ time is 8:06.
Three more nights, New York. Three
more nights left in the century.
Three more nights left
in the millennium.
Three more nights
until every computer fails.
Three more nights until the biggest
celebration in the history of this city...
starts in Times Square.
Where will you be?
Hey, Bobby, come over
here. Something weird's goin'on.
What do you got there,
Charlie? I don't know.
Pressure's climbin' off
the gauge.
Go the other way!
Excuse me.
What the hell are you...
You're on Gotham Talk.
Say something interesting.
I'm trying to figure out
what everyone's predicting here.
Is the world going to come to an end
at exactly 12:01 on New Year's, or...
I'll tell you
what. You should play it safe,
not quit yourjob
just yet.
Tell you something else:
In two more nights,
this place is gonna see
the wildest party ever.
We're gonna be there with the first hundred
callers, we're gonna make the most noise,
and we're gonna be the craziest,
and if the world comes to an end,
what the hell,
we're all gonna be together!
And if it doesn't,
and I don't think it will,
then we'll all have the best
time anybody has ever had.
Let's go. We're gonna be late.
Honey, I'm home.
I was just
pulling myself together.
It's gonna
take a lot more pulling.
You are looking
very sharp this morning.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
You got about five minutes
to get ready. Here.
There's enough caffeine in this
to kill an elephant.
Oughta get you
started.
- So what's today?
- Transport.
Anyone special?
No, just some
Wall Street scumbag.
Why the hell does he need
all this protection?
Well, I guess he fucked
with some people...
that didn't like
being fucked with.
Personally, I like scumbags.
They pay better.
They say breakfast is the
most important meal of the day.
No, I'm good.
Thanks.
Striker One, F.D.R. Drive...
Follow Three, F.D.R. Southbound.
Striker One, stay close.
Striker Four... Okay, you zeroes.
These people are
paying us good money.
Get your heads out of your asses
and start earning those paychecks.
Follow Three,
give me a visual sweep.
Striker One,
rooftops 125 to 136 clear.
- Keep them clear.
- Striker Four, advise and contact the...
Follow Three is on
approach. E. T.A., two minutes.
Striker One, Follow Two and Three to
report tight formation. Do you copy?
- Air One, make a final sweep.
- Roger that.
Follow Three.
We have nest in sight.
Air One,
westbound over zone two.
Ten seconds out.
Roger. Ten seconds.
Follow Three, we have arrived.
Keep everyone close.
- We're exposed.
- Roger.
Sky Two,
fire escape, southwest corner.
Fire escape's negative.
You're wrong! Shooter!
Evac! Evac!
Get in the car!
Call N.Y.P.D.!
Get me an ambulance!
- What the hell's goin' on?
- I see him! I see him!
Shit!
Oh, shit! Tell me
you remembered! Come on!
Get up,
you pussy.
Where's the shooter?
- Headed for the roof.
- So are we.
Sky Two, get the fuck
down here, now!
Come on! Hurry!
Take us up there!
Move in! Move in!
- Set us down! Hurry!
- There's too much crap on that roof!
- We'll tear off the main rotor.
- Then get us down as low as you can!
Hurry now! Go!
Strap me in!
You're good!
He's gonna jump off the roof! Shit!
He's got him!
Gun! Gun!
Oculus Dei!
The thousand years has ended!
The Dark Angel is loosed
from his prison!
Get down on the ground and
put your hands behind your head.
You don't know
what you've done!
- Get down, or I'll put you down!
- The thousand years has ended!
You don't know
what you've done!
Priest that drinks.
Can't be all bad.
I think the police
may want that at some point.
- They call it evidence.
- I like to get a head start.
- No reason to make it easy for them.
- Yeah.
All right.
Watch the lines.
Go through here.
She doesn't look happy
with the statements.
Should've just killed that son
of a bitch. Less paperwork. Yeah.
Hey, Detective. Bobby.
Hey, Jer, it's been a while.
Hey. How are you, Marge?
Can't complain. You?
It's a nice day to jump
out of a helicopter.
Well, just doing
my job.
Now, listen. Something I gotta ask you.
Yeah, what is
it? You still drinking?
Oh, yeah, we got
all liquored up this morning.
- We start every day that way.
- I'm just reading his statement.
You said here the guy
spoke to you. Yeah. So what?
The guy doesn't
have a tongue.
- What?
- He has no tongue?
Why don't I just leave
that little detail out for now.
No big deal, right? Are you
saying that I imagined all this?
No, I'm just saying.
I saved a life today.
What the hell did you
do? All right, let it go.
- No, no. I know what I heard.
- All right.
Those people who don't
belong here, get them out of here.
Make sure this place
is secure.
A drunk hangs out in a neighborhood
bar, passes out enough times,
people would know where he
lived from carrying him home.
I mean,
it's one thing I know.
Yeah, well, it's important
to be an expert at something.
Oh, it took years of
research. This must be it.
What do you want
to bet it's rent-controlled?
Well, I don't think
this is paint.
A real art buff.
I don't go for this
look. It's just too damn busy.
Listen to this.
"I have seen the Earth
laid to waste.
"I have seen the horror to come. Is
it a sin to wish you were never born?
"The thousand years
have ended.
Twenty... seven. "
It ends in a football
score. That's nice.
Hey, I found something.
Can you see
what it is?
His tongue.
He must have
cut it out himself.
Okay. And why is it someone
would cut out their own tongue?
To keep from talking. Right.
Well, I could eat.
Ah!
- Shit!
- What?
All right, I knew
that was gonna happen.
No, it's all right.
There's something
in here.
Have you ever seen her before? Nah.
This guy is no ordinary hit man.
No, this one's
extraordinary.
Let's get the hell outta here.
This place is making me itch.
- Drop it! Don't move! Don't move! Freeze!
- Don't move! Freeze!
Oh. It's us.
Jesus! How the hell
did you two find this place?
Lucky guess. So what did you find out?
His name's Thomas
Aquinas. He's a priest.
Why don't you tell us
something we don't know?
- A homicidal priest. That's good.
- Yeah? Well, it gets better.
He studied at the Vatican. He was
one of their alleged visionaries.
Came here in '81 to St.
John's Church downtown.
Six months ago,
he disappeared.
Priests there say he was
having a spiritual crisis.
Oh, yeah.
That's what this is about.
Spiritual crisis.
Doesn't make any sense.
What's a priest doing shooting
at a Wall Street banker?
A Wall Street banker, by the
way, who suddenly disappeared.
Maybe we should ask the girl.
What girl?
Uh, the guy. The guy. Priest
guy.
There's five million
women living in New York City.
How we gonna find her
without a name?
Here.
Look, I already gave you some
money. Can you just move on, please?
He's comin' for you.
He's comin' for you, Christine.
How do you know
my name?
He's gonna fuck you. He's gonna
fuck you, Christine. Can you see him?
- Can you see him?
- Who are you?
How do you know
my name?
He's gonna fuck you, Christine.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
The thousand years
have ended.
Thousand years have ended.
"When the thousand years
are ended,
Satan shall be loosed
out of his prison. "
"Twenty... seven. "
Christine?
Christine? I'll be there in a sec!
Doctor's office.
Hello.
Is Dr. Abel in, please?
Who's calling, please?
It's Christine York.
Christine, listen to me.
We've been over this before.
It's a terrible thing to lose your
parents. I know it was a long time ago.
The holidays always make something
like that feel much worse.
Understand, these dreams are your
creation. There's nothing real about them.
You control them.
They don't control you.
Take another Xanax
to relieve your anxiety.
You are fine. Trust me.
Another vision?
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want you to worry. I'm your
stepmother. It's my job to worry.
No big deal, really.
Just someone on the subway car
turned into porcelain and shattered.
What's wrong with me? Why do I
see things? Why am I so different?
Oh, you don't know
how special you are.
You're better than everybody
else. Just remember that.
I don't want to be better or
worse. I want to be normal.
I want a normal life.
You have to have patience.
All good things will come
to you. You'll see.
Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry, we're closed.
I would like to talk to
you about Thomas Aquinas.
Father, please, I need you
downstairs. Just take these.
Father, please.
Go.
I've already told the police. Thomas
was a friend of mine and a colleague.
He had nothing to do
with what happened today.
There was no one else
on that fire escape.
You don't understand. I understand
getting shot at, and I don't like it.
He shot at you? No,
he shot at my client.
- I happened to get in the way.
- Who's your client?
That's irrelevant right now. What I want to
know is why would a priest try to kill someone?
You've been drinking. I've got 14
years sober, and I can spot that.
Well, good for you. Your friend and
colleague, was he working for someone?
Yes, he was working for God.
So God ordered a hit
on an investment banker?
There's a lot that you don't know.
You think you've seen everything?
You haven't. There are
things you never dreamed of.
There's another world out there.
Thomas saw it, and it destroyed him.
I've seen a lot too, but there's nothing
that would make me cut my tongue out.
Yeah, well, wait a few days.
What happens in a few days?
Did Thomas tell you
about a girl?
- No.
- I see. Do you believe in God?
Maybe once,
but not anymore.
What happened?
We had a difference of opinion.
I thought that my wife and daughter
should live, and He felt otherwise.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss. Maybe
it's time for you to renew your faith.
This girl.
Is she in trouble?
Does she need help?
I have a lot of things to do
here. Excuse me. Excuse me.
I have more questions, if you don't
mind. I've got a question for you.
If you don't believe in God, how
can you understand his adversary?
Now I have to believe in God
in order to solve a crime?
I'm sure that you
can find your way out.
- How many have received the stigmata?
- She's the third this week.
- What is she saying?
- For your own good, get out and forget what you've seen!
Was Thomas part of this? There are forces
at work you couldn't possibly comprehend!
Now, please,
leave!
God rest ye, merry gentlemen
Let nothing
you dismay
Remember Christ...
No, it's just I hate the fact that
they put finals after the holiday.
It ruins the whole meaning of vacation.
I wouldn't worry.
You always do fine.
Besides, a bad grade
isn't the end of the world.
It's you.
I didn't...
Where is she?
The girl is safe.
And what of the world?
Everything is
as planned.
Our acts go unnoticed,
unquestioned.
- We're everywhere.
- Daddy, who is it?
- Is this your daughter?
- Yes.
- And this is your wife?
- Yes.
Oh, you insist
you gotta talk that shit
You gotta keep
that dog ass breath
All up in my face
And I remember when
You would never lie
to a friend
'Cause you were so high
you were so shy
You were
so fucked up anyway
Life keeps on tickin',
tickin', tickin', tickin'
What's wrong, baby? What's
wrong? It was a dream.
He came for me again.
It's only a dream, angel.
It felt closer.
Throughout
the country, the National Guard...
has been put on alert
as a precaution...
Mayor Giuliani
urged all citizens and police...
to stay calm
during this holiday season.
No explanations for
how blood on the hands of the Christ child,
depicted in Michelangelo's
famous sculpture of the Pieta...
...atmosphere of fear
and panic, random acts of violence...
are being attributed to satanic
cults who seem determined...
to disrupt New Year's
celebrations throughout the world.
Here in New York...
Sorry, pal,
you can't come in here.
Ahh. The young boys that you seduced
have left their scent upon you.
Remember who it is
that you serve. Hmm?
Open your eyes, Thomas.
Look. Look at the face that has haunted
your dreams for a thousand years.
They say you can
see the future, Thomas.
Then you must know exactly
what I'm going to do to you.
I don't know what
we hope to get from this guy.
He's got no fuckin'
tongue. He can write.
Fuck me.
There is still no explanation...
for the devastating explosions
that rocked midtown two nights ago.
In the wake
of Tuesday night's explosion,
investigators from the New York City Fire
Department are still at a loss to explain...
why the restaurant suddenly burst into
flames, killing at least 35 people.
- Hey, asshole, watch where you're going.
- Hey, I like the shirt.
Screw you, man!
Hey, kid.
Nice shirt.
I'm tellin'you, no one entered
the room. Maybe he did it himself.
Then how did he get
the last scalpel in!
Oh, my God.
- It just keeps getting better.
- I've never seen anything like this.
I think this
is written in Latin.
"When the thousand years
has ended,
Satan shall be loosed
out of his prison. "
Uh, this next part is not clear.
L- I-I think it's in English.
It says, "Christ...
Christ in New York. "
Christ!
Well, it's official. I'm never
sleeping again, ever. You okay?
A guy cuts words into his chest.
Someone else nails him to the ceiling.
What's not okay?
So where we going?
The girl. I gotta talk to
her, find out what she knows.
Wait. We don't have
a name. That would help.
Maybe we do. Maybe it's
not "Christ in New York. "
Maybe it's, "Chris in New
York," "Christine in New York. "
"Christine York. " Let's run a D.M.V. Check
and find out if any of those names come up.
Hello, Christine York.
Sometimes you border
on competent.
I know. It's scary, isn't it?
Christine?
Mabel called. She'd like you to
get dressed and join her for lunch.
Grazie, Carson.
Ahhh! Goddamn it,
get off me!
Go downstairs and watch
the front door! Please!
Help! There is no sanctuary but heaven.
You must go there now.
- What are you doing?
- I commend you to Almighty God and entrust you...
At what point
is this considered...
interfering with
a police investigation?
Hey, we are private citizens having
a conversation with another citizen.
I mean, I don't think they've found a
way to outlaw that. At least not yet.
Please! No!
May you return
to Him who formed...
Go down there. Do whatever you can. I
need more time to finish the last rites.
May Christ, the true shepherd...
Help! Stairs.
Covered.
Help!
May you see
your redeemer...
...forever, amen.
Son of a bitch!
You all right?
Yeah. Check the body
down the stairs.
What body?
Call the police,
and get an ambulance.
Take it easy.
We're the good guys.
All right?
What happened?
Carson. Those men... Th-Those men...
They tried to kill me.
Why?
Eight jets, variable speed.
That's what I call dying in style.
What kind of girl lives in
a house like this, anyway?
Oh, she's an orphan.
Both parents deceased.
After the mother died, the
home nurse married the father.
Now the nurse is
the sole guardian.
I think it's adorable the
way you talk like a real cop.
Yeah? So you think after they
clean up this mess, we could...
Don't tempt me. Soak a little?
They relax me. You want
one? Oh, no, thanks. I drink.
My little girl had one
just like it. Really?
Mm-hmm. Yeah? You snoop through
her stuff without asking too?
When I was looking
for something.
What are you
looking for?
A connection.
Most days, I don't feel
connected to anyone.
I noticed a lot
of religious books outside.
Mm. They're
my stepmother's.
- Is she a big believer?
- No, not really.
It's mostly just kind of
like a hobby with her.
Do you know a priest by
the name of Thomas Aquinas?
No. Is that
your connection, religion?
I've seen a lot
of attempted murders,
but I've never seen anyone
perform the last rites before.
Christine? In here!
Are you all right? Oh, my God,
I just heard what happened!
Did they
hurt you?
I'm okay, but Carson...
I know. Oh.
I'm just so glad you
came along when you did.
Thanks.
I didn't realize you knew where the
library was, let alone had a card.
Well, there's a lot
about me you don't know.
They're right outside.
You must
bring her. He is waiting for her.
No, that's impossible! They'll
follow me and find the temple!
I couldn't convince her to come here.
Yuck! Then I shall
have to go to her.
Did I mention
I had a date tonight?
Not just the inflatable
kind. A real live girl.
Did you break up
with the inflatable one?
Yeah. She was
just too needy.
Everything
was about her.
It's just that this is starting
to feel a lot like work.
Normally, I wouldn't mind
work because, well, you know,
we'd be
getting paid.
Watching rich people for free.
It just seems odd, doesn't it?
Okay, I'll wait here.
- Change your mind about the pill?
- I found something.
Christine, what are you
doing? Why is that man here?
I'll be
five minutes.
She loves me to death, but she's
a little overprotective.
I took this from one
of your attackers.
Did you show that to the police? No.
If I did, it would end up in a plastic
envelope on one of their large shelves.
That's pretty cynical. Well, I've
put a few of those envelopes...
up on that
large shelf myself.
I used to be a cop.
Now, this amulet
is from a Masonic order...
in a former sub-herald
of the Vatican knights.
The Knights of the Holy See.
They await the return
of the Dark Angel to Earth.
So, the men that attacked
me are devil worshippers?
No. This says
they're the good guys.
They're the ones that are supposed
to stop the devil worshippers.
Those were the good guys? What
does that have to do with me?
I'm sorry. I have
a medical condition.
- Sometimes I see things that aren't there.
- No. I saw it too.
I've been having visions
ever since I can remember,
but I've never
shared one before.
There must be
an explanation.
I hope so. I've been waiting
all my life to hear it.
Let's get out of here! Come on!
You're not going anywhere.
- What are you doing?
- There's no time to discuss this.
After all these years of waiting, it's
finally happening. What's happening?
You can't run away now!
- Stop
it! - Let her go! - No!
Don't you love me?
Didn't I give you
everything?
Haven't I been a mother to you?
- Christine. You know who I am.
- Oh, no.
- I've come for you.
- Let's go. Come on.
You only had one simple job,
and you couldn't even do that.
Hey, Marge? Marge, over
here! We need your help!
Easy with the hardware.
Jesus, Marge!
What the fuck?
It's okay, Jer.
Wejust want the girl.
Okay, tell me. What the hell
is going on here? I don't know.
I don't believe you.
- All right. I'm coming out.
- Throw out the gun.
Please don't don't
leave me here. Please!
Hands on your head.
- What?
- Hands on your head. Now!
What do you want
with her, Marge? Huh?
- Why is she so important?
- Just the girl. You can kill him.
Come on!
Quickly!
You, I don't need.
But you...
Call your people.
Find them.
Over here.
Goddamn it!
Get up!
Come on. Get up!
My best friend is dead. Everyone is
trying to kill us. I just shot two cops.
Why is everyone after you? I don't know.
I swear. I don't know.
Why is this happening?
I know it's my fault.
I just don't know why.
That man on the stairs,
what do you know about him?
Nothing. Come on. I saw your face.
You recognized him.
I don't talk about it.
Tell me. I need to know.
I've seen him before...
in my dreams.
- In your dreams?
- They're... They're nightmares really.
He takes me, and...
and he makes love to me.
I've been making love
to him my whole life.
I thought I was crazy, but he
was never real before tonight.
Oh, he's real.
I've seen him before.
- I'm afraid.
- Don't be afraid. I won't let him do any harm to you.
I'm afraid of me. I'm afraid that
if I see him, if he tries to take me,
I'm gonna
want him to.
Let's go!
Where we going? To get some answers.
You don't need that. You have no enemies here.
I'm not so sure about that. This
girl was just attacked by your people.
- Your Vatican knights almost killed her!
- Vatican knights?
Oh, my God.
Well, they're not my people. They
think they're doing God's work.
- But they're not.
- I want to know what's going on,
and I want to know right
now! Put the gun away.
Did anybody
see you come?
No. Good. We should be safe here.
According to the Scriptures, he
can't see inside of the house of God.
Who can't? Maybe now
you're ready to believe.
Her hands are healed.
That's the power of faith.
- Who is she?
- She's a Polish peasant.
She fell into a trance
about two weeks ago,
and then she began to speak in a
language she couldn't possibly have known.
- She made a prophecy about End of Days.
- "End of Days"?
Of man's destruction and the
unholy's reign upon the earth.
Why don't you stop all this church talk
and tell us what the hell is going on.
- Who's after her?
- Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll try to explain.
You know anything
about the number of the beast?
Revelation of St. John?
From his dream?
- Six-six-six? - The number of
the beast is not six-six-six.
Often in dreams, numbers appear
upside down and backwards.
So, six-six-six
becomes nine-nine-nine.
Like in 1999,
the year of his return.
What does that
have to do with me?
Regressus diaboli:
The return of Satan.
Does any of this
look familiar to you?
She's been chosen.
He's in her blood.
The Holy Church has been searching
for you since the day you were born.
Chosen for what? Every thousand
years, on the eve of the millennium,
the Dark Angel comes
and takes a body,
and then he walks the Earth, looking
for a woman who will bear his child.
It all has to happen in that unholy
hour before midnight on New Year's Eve.
If he consummates your
flesh with this human body,
then he unlocks
the gate of hell...
and everything as we
know it ceases to exist.
So, the Prince of Darkness
wants to conquer the Earth,
but has to wait until an hour
before midnight of New Year's Eve?
- Is this Eastern time?
- It's got nothing to do with New Year's Eve.
It has to do with a
temporary celestial alignment.
The Gregorian monks
studied the heavens.
They were able to calculate the
precise moment of this event.
They created our calendar
by mapping this event...
and counting backwards
from that moment.
- It was a mistake to come here.
- It doesn't matter whether you believe or not.
He's real, and he won't rest
till he finds this girl.
- Why did he pick me?
- Because the stars were right when you were born.
A man's body was also
chosen, just like yours.
If the devil does exist, why
doesn't your god do anything?
It's not my God. It's our God, and
He doesn't say that He will save us.
He says that
we will save ourselves.
Save myself? What am I supposed
to do? Get a restraining order?
- We have to have faith.
- Faith.
Yes, faith.
It's an interesting concept.
If you read the Bible,
you can't miss it. Faith!
Between your faith and my Glock nine
millimeter, I take my Glock. Come on. Let's go.
I'm afraid it takes a person of
pure heart to defeat pure evil.
You did your job. You brought her here
to people of faith. We'll protect her.
- We'll hide her.
- You know, you live in a different world.
We have some real serious problems
here, and this is not solving them.
Satan's greatest trick was
convincing man he didn't exist.
I don't, uh... This
all feels true to me.
You'll be safer with me. At least I
can fight this guy with something real.
You know what to do.
You feel it.
I'm sorry.
Let him go.
It gets easier when you
accept what you are.
A fallen soul.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
Door's locked,
no windows broken.
- How did I get in here?
- Who the fuck are you?
Oh, I think
you know who I am.
You just don't
want to believe it.
I took a bullet for you.
I protected you. Oh, no-no-no.
You didn't protect me.
You protected this body. Am
I... Am I getting a pattern here?
So much pain. "Not to
be taken with alcohol. "
Remember that.
To lose a wife and child.
I can't even imagine
what that must be like.
- What do you want?
- To make you happy again.
Jack
Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols
Being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up
like Eskimos
A gift from you daughter? Hmm?
Amy? Don't stay in there too
long. You'll turn into a prune.
- Emily!
- Come on, darling. It's time to get out.
Gotta get you dressed.
Your daddy's gonna be home soon.
I have the best
daddy in the whole world.
Yes,
you certainly do.
But I don't
think he'll be home.
Now, what makes you
say a silly thing like that?
- He never comes home.
- Well, honey, you know your daddy works hard.
It's not about how much time you're
there. It's about "quality time. "
Now, he'll be home just
like he promised. You'll see.
He keeps his promises.
I can give it all back to you.
Everything that He took away.
Everything.
You can hold
your wife again.
You can watch your daughter walk
through the door in her prom dress.
All you have to do is
tell me where the girl is.
Come on. She's a nobody to
you. You don't even know her.
You're in the middle of something
you don't really understand.
You think you're saving her
from me? She wants to be with me.
- You know that.
- What did you do in school today?
You think I'd harm her?
I'd treat her like a queen.
Turn around, sweetheart. You told me
you'd do anything to get your family back.
You want them?
This is your chance.
They're not real.
Does that matter?
- Oh, yes.
- I think you need to be reminded...
of how painful
reality is.
No!
Oh, shit!
Don't hurt my baby!
- Daddy!
- Let my daughter go!
Daddy!
Let go of my baby!
No!
Oh, it's true.
It wasn't your fault.
- I wasn't there.
- No, you were just...
You were out doing your job.
- I wasn't fucking there!
- Oh, look at you. Torn apart by guilt.
You didn't do anything wrong. You were
an honest cop. You didn't take money.
You had to testify against them even
after they threatened your family.
Most people would never
testify against those guys.
They're not like you. You
had to do the right thing.
And where was God, hmm?
He could've stopped it, but he didn't. He
fucked you. Then He made you feel guilty.
Me, I don't do guilt.
I didn't do what happened here.
He did. Now you just think about that.
Then you tell me
who's really your friend.
I can make it like
it never happened.
All for the price
of a stranger's address.
No!
You will never see the girl!
Now, you see...
Now you're upsetting me.
You don't want to see
me upset, believe me.
Oh, you want to fuck with me?
You think you know bad, huh?
You're a fucking choirboy
compared to me! A choirboy!
You're in touch with your anger.
I really like that.
I don't know about you, but
I'm going to have a drink.
You and I are
so much alike.
We're nothing alike!
Nothing!
Look at yourself. Look at this.
Look at what you are now.
You walked away from the light,
just like me. You want one?
- You need to get out, now.
- Come on. You know what's in your heart.
We're on the same side. I'm not
on your side, and I never will be.
You're on His side? He's
the one who took away your family.
Let me tell you
something about Him.
He is the biggest underachiever
of all time.
He just had a good publicist, that's all.
Something good happens: "It's His will. "
Something bad happens:
"He moves in mysterious ways. "
You take that... that overblown
press kit they call the Bible.
You look for the answer in
there, what do they tell you?
"Shit happens. " Please.
He treated you like garbage.
You walked away.
I'm not the bad guy.
What about the End of Days?
Think of it
as a new beginning.
A change of management. And you'll be
right there with me on the ground floor.
It will be
so cool.
Tell me what you want.
Tell me what you really want,
and I'll give it to you.
I'll tell you
what I want.
I want you
to go to hell.
You see,
sometimes the problem is...
Hell...
Comes to you!
Don't fuck up the coat.
I've wasted
too much time on this.
You see those insignificant little
dots down there? Huh? Do you see them?
That's what you mean to me.
Now, give me the girl!
Not today.
Look down.
Now, look in your heart and
tell me you don't want to die.
All you got to do
is take my hand.
And I'll give you
back everything that He took away.
- Come on.
- Okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Fuck... you!
Hey.
Hey!
- I thought you were dead.
- Couple of seconds, I would've been.
All I remember is steppin' out of the
van, then I woke up in the fucking gutter.
What the hell are you doing
here? What are you talking about?
I've been lookin' for you all
night. What the hell happened to you?
- Hey. Hey. Hey.
- I can't trust you.
I don't know how much you had to drink,
okay, but let's not point the gun at me?
I just need to know.
You need to know what?
That you are you. Of course I'm me!
What the hell are you talking about?
You took his body.
All right. You're ill.
Okay? You need some help. All right?
Oh, fuck!
Jesus!
- Fuck.
- You're bleeding.
Of course I'm bleeding!
You fuckin' shot me!
I just needed to find
out! You found out, okay?
Stop being such a pussy! It's
just a scratch. Pussy? Come on!
Oh, Christ.
Does it hurt?
What do you think?
Jesus.
What the hell's the matter
with you? What's going on here?
I can't explain it.
I shouldn't have left
her alone like that.
I should be with her.
Tell me what to do.
I gotta get back there.
Got to get her as far
away from him as I can.
Okay, we'll leave town. You
get her. I'll get a Striker car.
Just tell me
where to meet you.
St. John's Church...
in one hour.
How much longer, Father?
Well, he has to sire his child between
So, we must keep you hidden
until that hour passes.
We've come to help.
Your Eminence.
In this hour of darkness,
we need all the help we can get.
How's the girl? The girl's fine. Thanks.
No.
No. Father! Father, they're
the ones who tried to kill me!
- No!
- Your Eminence, what are you doing?
We cannot allow this union
to take place. No! No.
Please! You can't! You mustn't!
- Let go!
- She is only one life.
How many lives are you prepared
to end if we do nothing?
- That's not who we are.
- Of course it is.
We are doing God's work. We
are preventing the End of Days.
But you can't prevent evil
by doing evil.
- There is no time!
- No! -
- It's the only way.
- No-o-o!
May God forgive us!
Amen. -
I can do this all day long.
Now, let her go.
You must let us finish.
If she is slain, his hope of creating
a kingdom on Earth dies with her.
- Her death is God's will.
- It's not God's will.
It's your will, and it will
lead to our destruction. Jericho.
She must be removed.
It's the only way to defeat him.
For a thousand years,
we prepared ourselves for this.
We're not afraid to die. Good.
Because I'm not afraid to kill you.
Let her go.
Go. Go.
Get out of here.
Go!
God help us.
We're too late.
- I've come for my wife.
- Let's go.
This is the house of the Lord, our
God, and you are not welcome here.
I can stand the pain of being in
church. How much pain can you bear?
Christine!
Come to me.
I am the one
you've been waiting for.
I am the answer
to your prayers.
In the name of God,
I order you to leave here now!
May the wrath of God destroy...
A thousand years you have waited for
my return. And behold, you have failed.
And with your last breath you shall
bear witness to the End of Days.
No! Jericho!
Get in the car!
Run!
Jesus! Come on!
Bobby, what the hell are you
doing?
What are you doing?
Open the door! Open up!
- Come on! Open up!
- Open the door!
Jer... Please, stop the car! Please!
Jer!
Jer!
You should
have taken my offer.
At least you would have
been happy once in your life.
Let her go,
or I'll kill you.
Ooh, so much anger,
so much hatred.
You're almost there.
I'm gonna hurt you so bad,
you're gonna beg to die.
But I'm not gonna let you.
It's not gonna be that easy.
You're mine, and I want you
to see what's gonna happen.
World religious
leaders have asked their followers...
to prepare for the new millennium
not with celebrating and partying...
but rather with acts
of kindness, compassion...
This is it, New York.
The last day of the first 2,000 years.
- How long have I been out?
- You almost slept the whole day.
You're lucky to be alive.
The time?
It's almost 7:00.
It's not too late.
He has the girl.
But it's not too late.
In nomine Patris,
et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
Jesus, what did you
do? Get hit by a truck?
No, the truck missed me.
Where the hell are you
goin'? Doing my job.
You
know, the cops are after you.
They have to wait.
I've got to do something.
That son of a bitch.
Yes. You wish entrance?
You have much hatred
and vengeance in your heart.
You may pass.
Angelus obscurus.
Princeps finis dierum.
You know
this is what you want.
Angelus obscurus.
You can't resist, can you?
'Cause you don't want to.
I didn't come here to hurt you.
I came here to love you.
Relax.
Give yourself to me.
- No one move, or I kill the girl.
- What are you doing?
- Trust me.
- You're not gonna kill her.
You said it yourself.
I have a dark heart.
- Then stand with me.
- I'll tell you what.
You let us both out of here,
and I'll stand wherever you want.
- Step back, or I'll pull the trigger.
- I didn't want to kill you.
But now you
leave me no choice.
Let her go, Jer.
Oh, don't look at me
like that.
You'd be amazed what you
agree to when you're on fire.
Don't do it, Bobby.
You're better than this.
- You're better than him.
- You know, considering how you've lived your life,
when this is all over, what makes you
think you're going upstairs anyways, huh?
Come on, Jer. This is the
main event. It's gonna happen.
- Why shouldn't you have the best seats in the house?
- You will never get a shot off,
and you know it.
Don't do it.
Bobby.
I thought we had a deal?
Bobby.
Well, I guess
the deal's off.
No!
You son of a bitch!
Here!
This way!
Up here.
Shit!
- Oh, thank God. I thought I hit you.
- Just get us out of here!
Let's go.
Give me a minute.
I'd feel better if you'd show me
how to use one of those things.
- I want to do something. Let me help.
- All right. Here.
You take the gun. Line up
the sight with your target.
Uh-huh. Beware of the
recoil. Here's the magazine.
Put it in. Load.
Only pull the trigger when you're ready...
Like that?
Yeah, like that.
He's on the tracks!
Shit!
- Don't stop! Don't stop!
- What are you doing?
He's gone.
Oh, God.
Go on.
- We must separate the cars. Separate the cars.
- What?
Jericho!
Jericho!
Jericho!
That's it. Come on.
Jericho!
Here. Hold on!
Jericho!
How can you expect to
defeat me when you are but a man...
and I am forever!
We must lock the doors!
- Deliver us, O Lord.
- Everyone, out!
Get them to a safe place!
Get them out of here!
Lady, come on!
What are we gonna do?
Hide. Just hide!
No.
Please, God, help me.
Give me strength.
Christine.
Christine?
Jericho?
Are you all right?
What happened?
It's over.
We won.
Let's go.
Huh?
- What's wrong?
- Nothing is wrong.
Everything is the way it should be.
No! Jericho! No! No!
No, please!
What are you doing?
Jericho!
No!
No!
No! Stop it!
You died for nothing.
You just bought them time.
Please. You have to fight
him, Jericho. I know you.
You're stronger than he is.
That's why you came back for me.
Don't let him win.
Run.
Run.
- Yah!
- No!
Six, five, four,
three, two, one!
Daddy?
Thank you.
Oculus Deum
It's not how you're thinking
As you've been mine
You been living a dream now
Believe you're a bad jump
Believe you're in favor
And drain out your soul
And what can I do
when there's so many liars
That crawl through your veins
Like millions of spiders
And seek out their victims
And who is the wiser
Watch out
Gotcha
Oh my God
I can't deny this
I've been taught
just to kill and fight this
Don't bury it deeper
where nobody can find it
Like nobody wanted to know
So give it away like
they're not gonna fuck you
How long can you beg them
to come back and haunt you
To run past your demons
and carry you to some place
You're startin'to bleed
And they don't give up
Before it's too late
What will you offer
In ways of healing
Oh, I'm so confused
Confused
Misused
Oh my God
I can't deny this
I've been taught
just to kill and fight this
Don't bury it deeper
where nobody can find it
'Cause nobody wanted to know
Ooh, if it opens your eyes
Well, just bet on
a strong compromise
I was willing
to be lost in the shuffle
If only you had let me know
Ooh, if it opens your eyes
Well, then just bet
on a little less compromise
I was willing
to be lost in the shadows
If only you had let me know
And they won't give in 'cause
they know what they're after
I'll give you them days like
it's all that would matter
And
Oh my God
I can't deny this
I've been trying just
to murder and fight this
Don't bury it deeper
where nobody can find it
Well, nobody wanted to know
Ooh, if it opens your eyes
Well, then you can bet
on a little good compromise
I was willing
to be lost in the shuffle
If only you had let me know
Ooh, when they're done
with the show
Like the tide
out on the ocean
The wave's already
set in motion
The only one in the game
who's lost is you
She must be killed!
She was chosen
to bear his child.
If she lives to bring about the End
of Days, there will be no redemption.
All our souls
will perish.
Tomaso.
Okay,
now give me a big push.
That's it.
You're doing great.
That's it. Okay, stop pushing.
... five, six, seven...
I have the baby's head.
Don't push yet.
One little push oughta finish
this off. One little push.
You have
a beautiful baby girl.
She's so beautiful!
Just gonna take her
and clean her up.
Not yet. Hospital rules.
Please. You'll have her
back before you know it.
Here she is.
All fresh and clean.
You thought of a name
for her yet? Christine.
Her name is Christine.
Happy birthday,
Christine.
WBAZ time is 8:06.
Three more nights, New York. Three
more nights left in the century.
Three more nights left
in the millennium.
Three more nights
until every computer fails.
Three more nights until the biggest
celebration in the history of this city...
starts in Times Square.
Where will you be?
Hey, Bobby, come over
here. Something weird's goin'on.
What do you got there,
Charlie? I don't know.
Pressure's climbin' off
the gauge.
Go the other way!
Excuse me.
What the hell are you...
You're on Gotham Talk.
Say something interesting.
I'm trying to figure out
what everyone's predicting here.
Is the world going to come to an end
at exactly 12:01 on New Year's, or...
I'll tell you
what. You should play it safe,
not quit yourjob
just yet.
Tell you something else:
In two more nights,
this place is gonna see
the wildest party ever.
We're gonna be there with the first hundred
callers, we're gonna make the most noise,
and we're gonna be the craziest,
and if the world comes to an end,
what the hell,
we're all gonna be together!
And if it doesn't,
and I don't think it will,
then we'll all have the best
time anybody has ever had.
Let's go. We're gonna be late.
Honey, I'm home.
I was just
pulling myself together.
It's gonna
take a lot more pulling.
You are looking
very sharp this morning.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
You got about five minutes
to get ready. Here.
There's enough caffeine in this
to kill an elephant.
Oughta get you
started.
- So what's today?
- Transport.
Anyone special?
No, just some
Wall Street scumbag.
Why the hell does he need
all this protection?
Well, I guess he fucked
with some people...
that didn't like
being fucked with.
Personally, I like scumbags.
They pay better.
They say breakfast is the
most important meal of the day.
No, I'm good.
Thanks.
Striker One, F.D.R. Drive...
Follow Three, F.D.R. Southbound.
Striker One, stay close.
Striker Four... Okay, you zeroes.
These people are
paying us good money.
Get your heads out of your asses
and start earning those paychecks.
Follow Three,
give me a visual sweep.
Striker One,
rooftops 125 to 136 clear.
- Keep them clear.
- Striker Four, advise and contact the...
Follow Three is on
approach. E. T.A., two minutes.
Striker One, Follow Two and Three to
report tight formation. Do you copy?
- Air One, make a final sweep.
- Roger that.
Follow Three.
We have nest in sight.
Air One,
westbound over zone two.
Ten seconds out.
Roger. Ten seconds.
Follow Three, we have arrived.
Keep everyone close.
- We're exposed.
- Roger.
Sky Two,
fire escape, southwest corner.
Fire escape's negative.
You're wrong! Shooter!
Evac! Evac!
Get in the car!
Call N.Y.P.D.!
Get me an ambulance!
- What the hell's goin' on?
- I see him! I see him!
Shit!
Oh, shit! Tell me
you remembered! Come on!
Get up,
you pussy.
Where's the shooter?
- Headed for the roof.
- So are we.
Sky Two, get the fuck
down here, now!
Come on! Hurry!
Take us up there!
Move in! Move in!
- Set us down! Hurry!
- There's too much crap on that roof!
- We'll tear off the main rotor.
- Then get us down as low as you can!
Hurry now! Go!
Strap me in!
You're good!
He's gonna jump off the roof! Shit!
He's got him!
Gun! Gun!
Oculus Dei!
The thousand years has ended!
The Dark Angel is loosed
from his prison!
Get down on the ground and
put your hands behind your head.
You don't know
what you've done!
- Get down, or I'll put you down!
- The thousand years has ended!
You don't know
what you've done!
Priest that drinks.
Can't be all bad.
I think the police
may want that at some point.
- They call it evidence.
- I like to get a head start.
- No reason to make it easy for them.
- Yeah.
All right.
Watch the lines.
Go through here.
She doesn't look happy
with the statements.
Should've just killed that son
of a bitch. Less paperwork. Yeah.
Hey, Detective. Bobby.
Hey, Jer, it's been a while.
Hey. How are you, Marge?
Can't complain. You?
It's a nice day to jump
out of a helicopter.
Well, just doing
my job.
Now, listen. Something I gotta ask you.
Yeah, what is
it? You still drinking?
Oh, yeah, we got
all liquored up this morning.
- We start every day that way.
- I'm just reading his statement.
You said here the guy
spoke to you. Yeah. So what?
The guy doesn't
have a tongue.
- What?
- He has no tongue?
Why don't I just leave
that little detail out for now.
No big deal, right? Are you
saying that I imagined all this?
No, I'm just saying.
I saved a life today.
What the hell did you
do? All right, let it go.
- No, no. I know what I heard.
- All right.
Those people who don't
belong here, get them out of here.
Make sure this place
is secure.
A drunk hangs out in a neighborhood
bar, passes out enough times,
people would know where he
lived from carrying him home.
I mean,
it's one thing I know.
Yeah, well, it's important
to be an expert at something.
Oh, it took years of
research. This must be it.
What do you want
to bet it's rent-controlled?
Well, I don't think
this is paint.
A real art buff.
I don't go for this
look. It's just too damn busy.
Listen to this.
"I have seen the Earth
laid to waste.
"I have seen the horror to come. Is
it a sin to wish you were never born?
"The thousand years
have ended.
Twenty... seven. "
It ends in a football
score. That's nice.
Hey, I found something.
Can you see
what it is?
His tongue.
He must have
cut it out himself.
Okay. And why is it someone
would cut out their own tongue?
To keep from talking. Right.
Well, I could eat.
Ah!
- Shit!
- What?
All right, I knew
that was gonna happen.
No, it's all right.
There's something
in here.
Have you ever seen her before? Nah.
This guy is no ordinary hit man.
No, this one's
extraordinary.
Let's get the hell outta here.
This place is making me itch.
- Drop it! Don't move! Don't move! Freeze!
- Don't move! Freeze!
Oh. It's us.
Jesus! How the hell
did you two find this place?
Lucky guess. So what did you find out?
His name's Thomas
Aquinas. He's a priest.
Why don't you tell us
something we don't know?
- A homicidal priest. That's good.
- Yeah? Well, it gets better.
He studied at the Vatican. He was
one of their alleged visionaries.
Came here in '81 to St.
John's Church downtown.
Six months ago,
he disappeared.
Priests there say he was
having a spiritual crisis.
Oh, yeah.
That's what this is about.
Spiritual crisis.
Doesn't make any sense.
What's a priest doing shooting
at a Wall Street banker?
A Wall Street banker, by the
way, who suddenly disappeared.
Maybe we should ask the girl.
What girl?
Uh, the guy. The guy. Priest
guy.
There's five million
women living in New York City.
How we gonna find her
without a name?
Here.
Look, I already gave you some
money. Can you just move on, please?
He's comin' for you.
He's comin' for you, Christine.
How do you know
my name?
He's gonna fuck you. He's gonna
fuck you, Christine. Can you see him?
- Can you see him?
- Who are you?
How do you know
my name?
He's gonna fuck you, Christine.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
The thousand years
have ended.
Thousand years have ended.
"When the thousand years
are ended,
Satan shall be loosed
out of his prison. "
"Twenty... seven. "
Christine?
Christine? I'll be there in a sec!
Doctor's office.
Hello.
Is Dr. Abel in, please?
Who's calling, please?
It's Christine York.
Christine, listen to me.
We've been over this before.
It's a terrible thing to lose your
parents. I know it was a long time ago.
The holidays always make something
like that feel much worse.
Understand, these dreams are your
creation. There's nothing real about them.
You control them.
They don't control you.
Take another Xanax
to relieve your anxiety.
You are fine. Trust me.
Another vision?
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want you to worry. I'm your
stepmother. It's my job to worry.
No big deal, really.
Just someone on the subway car
turned into porcelain and shattered.
What's wrong with me? Why do I
see things? Why am I so different?
Oh, you don't know
how special you are.
You're better than everybody
else. Just remember that.
I don't want to be better or
worse. I want to be normal.
I want a normal life.
You have to have patience.
All good things will come
to you. You'll see.
Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry, we're closed.
I would like to talk to
you about Thomas Aquinas.
Father, please, I need you
downstairs. Just take these.
Father, please.
Go.
I've already told the police. Thomas
was a friend of mine and a colleague.
He had nothing to do
with what happened today.
There was no one else
on that fire escape.
You don't understand. I understand
getting shot at, and I don't like it.
He shot at you? No,
he shot at my client.
- I happened to get in the way.
- Who's your client?
That's irrelevant right now. What I want to
know is why would a priest try to kill someone?
You've been drinking. I've got 14
years sober, and I can spot that.
Well, good for you. Your friend and
colleague, was he working for someone?
Yes, he was working for God.
So God ordered a hit
on an investment banker?
There's a lot that you don't know.
You think you've seen everything?
You haven't. There are
things you never dreamed of.
There's another world out there.
Thomas saw it, and it destroyed him.
I've seen a lot too, but there's nothing
that would make me cut my tongue out.
Yeah, well, wait a few days.
What happens in a few days?
Did Thomas tell you
about a girl?
- No.
- I see. Do you believe in God?
Maybe once,
but not anymore.
What happened?
We had a difference of opinion.
I thought that my wife and daughter
should live, and He felt otherwise.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss. Maybe
it's time for you to renew your faith.
This girl.
Is she in trouble?
Does she need help?
I have a lot of things to do
here. Excuse me. Excuse me.
I have more questions, if you don't
mind. I've got a question for you.
If you don't believe in God, how
can you understand his adversary?
Now I have to believe in God
in order to solve a crime?
I'm sure that you
can find your way out.
- How many have received the stigmata?
- She's the third this week.
- What is she saying?
- For your own good, get out and forget what you've seen!
Was Thomas part of this? There are forces
at work you couldn't possibly comprehend!
Now, please,
leave!
God rest ye, merry gentlemen
Let nothing
you dismay
Remember Christ...
No, it's just I hate the fact that
they put finals after the holiday.
It ruins the whole meaning of vacation.
I wouldn't worry.
You always do fine.
Besides, a bad grade
isn't the end of the world.
It's you.
I didn't...
Where is she?
The girl is safe.
And what of the world?
Everything is
as planned.
Our acts go unnoticed,
unquestioned.
- We're everywhere.
- Daddy, who is it?
- Is this your daughter?
- Yes.
- And this is your wife?
- Yes.
Oh, you insist
you gotta talk that shit
You gotta keep
that dog ass breath
All up in my face
And I remember when
You would never lie
to a friend
'Cause you were so high
you were so shy
You were
so fucked up anyway
Life keeps on tickin',
tickin', tickin', tickin'
What's wrong, baby? What's
wrong? It was a dream.
He came for me again.
It's only a dream, angel.
It felt closer.
Throughout
the country, the National Guard...
has been put on alert
as a precaution...
Mayor Giuliani
urged all citizens and police...
to stay calm
during this holiday season.
No explanations for
how blood on the hands of the Christ child,
depicted in Michelangelo's
famous sculpture of the Pieta...
...atmosphere of fear
and panic, random acts of violence...
are being attributed to satanic
cults who seem determined...
to disrupt New Year's
celebrations throughout the world.
Here in New York...
Sorry, pal,
you can't come in here.
Ahh. The young boys that you seduced
have left their scent upon you.
Remember who it is
that you serve. Hmm?
Open your eyes, Thomas.
Look. Look at the face that has haunted
your dreams for a thousand years.
They say you can
see the future, Thomas.
Then you must know exactly
what I'm going to do to you.
I don't know what
we hope to get from this guy.
He's got no fuckin'
tongue. He can write.
Fuck me.
There is still no explanation...
for the devastating explosions
that rocked midtown two nights ago.
In the wake
of Tuesday night's explosion,
investigators from the New York City Fire
Department are still at a loss to explain...
why the restaurant suddenly burst into
flames, killing at least 35 people.
- Hey, asshole, watch where you're going.
- Hey, I like the shirt.
Screw you, man!
Hey, kid.
Nice shirt.
I'm tellin'you, no one entered
the room. Maybe he did it himself.
Then how did he get
the last scalpel in!
Oh, my God.
- It just keeps getting better.
- I've never seen anything like this.
I think this
is written in Latin.
"When the thousand years
has ended,
Satan shall be loosed
out of his prison. "
Uh, this next part is not clear.
L- I-I think it's in English.
It says, "Christ...
Christ in New York. "
Christ!
Well, it's official. I'm never
sleeping again, ever. You okay?
A guy cuts words into his chest.
Someone else nails him to the ceiling.
What's not okay?
So where we going?
The girl. I gotta talk to
her, find out what she knows.
Wait. We don't have
a name. That would help.
Maybe we do. Maybe it's
not "Christ in New York. "
Maybe it's, "Chris in New
York," "Christine in New York. "
"Christine York. " Let's run a D.M.V. Check
and find out if any of those names come up.
Hello, Christine York.
Sometimes you border
on competent.
I know. It's scary, isn't it?
Christine?
Mabel called. She'd like you to
get dressed and join her for lunch.
Grazie, Carson.
Ahhh! Goddamn it,
get off me!
Go downstairs and watch
the front door! Please!
Help! There is no sanctuary but heaven.
You must go there now.
- What are you doing?
- I commend you to Almighty God and entrust you...
At what point
is this considered...
interfering with
a police investigation?
Hey, we are private citizens having
a conversation with another citizen.
I mean, I don't think they've found a
way to outlaw that. At least not yet.
Please! No!
May you return
to Him who formed...
Go down there. Do whatever you can. I
need more time to finish the last rites.
May Christ, the true shepherd...
Help! Stairs.
Covered.
Help!
May you see
your redeemer...
...forever, amen.
Son of a bitch!
You all right?
Yeah. Check the body
down the stairs.
What body?
Call the police,
and get an ambulance.
Take it easy.
We're the good guys.
All right?
What happened?
Carson. Those men... Th-Those men...
They tried to kill me.
Why?
Eight jets, variable speed.
That's what I call dying in style.
What kind of girl lives in
a house like this, anyway?
Oh, she's an orphan.
Both parents deceased.
After the mother died, the
home nurse married the father.
Now the nurse is
the sole guardian.
I think it's adorable the
way you talk like a real cop.
Yeah? So you think after they
clean up this mess, we could...
Don't tempt me. Soak a little?
They relax me. You want
one? Oh, no, thanks. I drink.
My little girl had one
just like it. Really?
Mm-hmm. Yeah? You snoop through
her stuff without asking too?
When I was looking
for something.
What are you
looking for?
A connection.
Most days, I don't feel
connected to anyone.
I noticed a lot
of religious books outside.
Mm. They're
my stepmother's.
- Is she a big believer?
- No, not really.
It's mostly just kind of
like a hobby with her.
Do you know a priest by
the name of Thomas Aquinas?
No. Is that
your connection, religion?
I've seen a lot
of attempted murders,
but I've never seen anyone
perform the last rites before.
Christine? In here!
Are you all right? Oh, my God,
I just heard what happened!
Did they
hurt you?
I'm okay, but Carson...
I know. Oh.
I'm just so glad you
came along when you did.
Thanks.
I didn't realize you knew where the
library was, let alone had a card.
Well, there's a lot
about me you don't know.
They're right outside.
You must
bring her. He is waiting for her.
No, that's impossible! They'll
follow me and find the temple!
I couldn't convince her to come here.
Yuck! Then I shall
have to go to her.
Did I mention
I had a date tonight?
Not just the inflatable
kind. A real live girl.
Did you break up
with the inflatable one?
Yeah. She was
just too needy.
Everything
was about her.
It's just that this is starting
to feel a lot like work.
Normally, I wouldn't mind
work because, well, you know,
we'd be
getting paid.
Watching rich people for free.
It just seems odd, doesn't it?
Okay, I'll wait here.
- Change your mind about the pill?
- I found something.
Christine, what are you
doing? Why is that man here?
I'll be
five minutes.
She loves me to death, but she's
a little overprotective.
I took this from one
of your attackers.
Did you show that to the police? No.
If I did, it would end up in a plastic
envelope on one of their large shelves.
That's pretty cynical. Well, I've
put a few of those envelopes...
up on that
large shelf myself.
I used to be a cop.
Now, this amulet
is from a Masonic order...
in a former sub-herald
of the Vatican knights.
The Knights of the Holy See.
They await the return
of the Dark Angel to Earth.
So, the men that attacked
me are devil worshippers?
No. This says
they're the good guys.
They're the ones that are supposed
to stop the devil worshippers.
Those were the good guys? What
does that have to do with me?
I'm sorry. I have
a medical condition.
- Sometimes I see things that aren't there.
- No. I saw it too.
I've been having visions
ever since I can remember,
but I've never
shared one before.
There must be
an explanation.
I hope so. I've been waiting
all my life to hear it.
Let's get out of here! Come on!
You're not going anywhere.
- What are you doing?
- There's no time to discuss this.
After all these years of waiting, it's
finally happening. What's happening?
You can't run away now!
- Stop
it! - Let her go! - No!
Don't you love me?
Didn't I give you
everything?
Haven't I been a mother to you?
- Christine. You know who I am.
- Oh, no.
- I've come for you.
- Let's go. Come on.
You only had one simple job,
and you couldn't even do that.
Hey, Marge? Marge, over
here! We need your help!
Easy with the hardware.
Jesus, Marge!
What the fuck?
It's okay, Jer.
Wejust want the girl.
Okay, tell me. What the hell
is going on here? I don't know.
I don't believe you.
- All right. I'm coming out.
- Throw out the gun.
Please don't don't
leave me here. Please!
Hands on your head.
- What?
- Hands on your head. Now!
What do you want
with her, Marge? Huh?
- Why is she so important?
- Just the girl. You can kill him.
Come on!
Quickly!
You, I don't need.
But you...
Call your people.
Find them.
Over here.
Goddamn it!
Get up!
Come on. Get up!
My best friend is dead. Everyone is
trying to kill us. I just shot two cops.
Why is everyone after you? I don't know.
I swear. I don't know.
Why is this happening?
I know it's my fault.
I just don't know why.
That man on the stairs,
what do you know about him?
Nothing. Come on. I saw your face.
You recognized him.
I don't talk about it.
Tell me. I need to know.
I've seen him before...
in my dreams.
- In your dreams?
- They're... They're nightmares really.
He takes me, and...
and he makes love to me.
I've been making love
to him my whole life.
I thought I was crazy, but he
was never real before tonight.
Oh, he's real.
I've seen him before.
- I'm afraid.
- Don't be afraid. I won't let him do any harm to you.
I'm afraid of me. I'm afraid that
if I see him, if he tries to take me,
I'm gonna
want him to.
Let's go!
Where we going? To get some answers.
You don't need that. You have no enemies here.
I'm not so sure about that. This
girl was just attacked by your people.
- Your Vatican knights almost killed her!
- Vatican knights?
Oh, my God.
Well, they're not my people. They
think they're doing God's work.
- But they're not.
- I want to know what's going on,
and I want to know right
now! Put the gun away.
Did anybody
see you come?
No. Good. We should be safe here.
According to the Scriptures, he
can't see inside of the house of God.
Who can't? Maybe now
you're ready to believe.
Her hands are healed.
That's the power of faith.
- Who is she?
- She's a Polish peasant.
She fell into a trance
about two weeks ago,
and then she began to speak in a
language she couldn't possibly have known.
- She made a prophecy about End of Days.
- "End of Days"?
Of man's destruction and the
unholy's reign upon the earth.
Why don't you stop all this church talk
and tell us what the hell is going on.
- Who's after her?
- Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll try to explain.
You know anything
about the number of the beast?
Revelation of St. John?
From his dream?
- Six-six-six? - The number of
the beast is not six-six-six.
Often in dreams, numbers appear
upside down and backwards.
So, six-six-six
becomes nine-nine-nine.
Like in 1999,
the year of his return.
What does that
have to do with me?
Regressus diaboli:
The return of Satan.
Does any of this
look familiar to you?
She's been chosen.
He's in her blood.
The Holy Church has been searching
for you since the day you were born.
Chosen for what? Every thousand
years, on the eve of the millennium,
the Dark Angel comes
and takes a body,
and then he walks the Earth, looking
for a woman who will bear his child.
It all has to happen in that unholy
hour before midnight on New Year's Eve.
If he consummates your
flesh with this human body,
then he unlocks
the gate of hell...
and everything as we
know it ceases to exist.
So, the Prince of Darkness
wants to conquer the Earth,
but has to wait until an hour
before midnight of New Year's Eve?
- Is this Eastern time?
- It's got nothing to do with New Year's Eve.
It has to do with a
temporary celestial alignment.
The Gregorian monks
studied the heavens.
They were able to calculate the
precise moment of this event.
They created our calendar
by mapping this event...
and counting backwards
from that moment.
- It was a mistake to come here.
- It doesn't matter whether you believe or not.
He's real, and he won't rest
till he finds this girl.
- Why did he pick me?
- Because the stars were right when you were born.
A man's body was also
chosen, just like yours.
If the devil does exist, why
doesn't your god do anything?
It's not my God. It's our God, and
He doesn't say that He will save us.
He says that
we will save ourselves.
Save myself? What am I supposed
to do? Get a restraining order?
- We have to have faith.
- Faith.
Yes, faith.
It's an interesting concept.
If you read the Bible,
you can't miss it. Faith!
Between your faith and my Glock nine
millimeter, I take my Glock. Come on. Let's go.
I'm afraid it takes a person of
pure heart to defeat pure evil.
You did your job. You brought her here
to people of faith. We'll protect her.
- We'll hide her.
- You know, you live in a different world.
We have some real serious problems
here, and this is not solving them.
Satan's greatest trick was
convincing man he didn't exist.
I don't, uh... This
all feels true to me.
You'll be safer with me. At least I
can fight this guy with something real.
You know what to do.
You feel it.
I'm sorry.
Let him go.
It gets easier when you
accept what you are.
A fallen soul.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
Door's locked,
no windows broken.
- How did I get in here?
- Who the fuck are you?
Oh, I think
you know who I am.
You just don't
want to believe it.
I took a bullet for you.
I protected you. Oh, no-no-no.
You didn't protect me.
You protected this body. Am
I... Am I getting a pattern here?
So much pain. "Not to
be taken with alcohol. "
Remember that.
To lose a wife and child.
I can't even imagine
what that must be like.
- What do you want?
- To make you happy again.
Jack
Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols
Being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up
like Eskimos
A gift from you daughter? Hmm?
Amy? Don't stay in there too
long. You'll turn into a prune.
- Emily!
- Come on, darling. It's time to get out.
Gotta get you dressed.
Your daddy's gonna be home soon.
I have the best
daddy in the whole world.
Yes,
you certainly do.
But I don't
think he'll be home.
Now, what makes you
say a silly thing like that?
- He never comes home.
- Well, honey, you know your daddy works hard.
It's not about how much time you're
there. It's about "quality time. "
Now, he'll be home just
like he promised. You'll see.
He keeps his promises.
I can give it all back to you.
Everything that He took away.
Everything.
You can hold
your wife again.
You can watch your daughter walk
through the door in her prom dress.
All you have to do is
tell me where the girl is.
Come on. She's a nobody to
you. You don't even know her.
You're in the middle of something
you don't really understand.
You think you're saving her
from me? She wants to be with me.
- You know that.
- What did you do in school today?
You think I'd harm her?
I'd treat her like a queen.
Turn around, sweetheart. You told me
you'd do anything to get your family back.
You want them?
This is your chance.
They're not real.
Does that matter?
- Oh, yes.
- I think you need to be reminded...
of how painful
reality is.
No!
Oh, shit!
Don't hurt my baby!
- Daddy!
- Let my daughter go!
Daddy!
Let go of my baby!
No!
Oh, it's true.
It wasn't your fault.
- I wasn't there.
- No, you were just...
You were out doing your job.
- I wasn't fucking there!
- Oh, look at you. Torn apart by guilt.
You didn't do anything wrong. You were
an honest cop. You didn't take money.
You had to testify against them even
after they threatened your family.
Most people would never
testify against those guys.
They're not like you. You
had to do the right thing.
And where was God, hmm?
He could've stopped it, but he didn't. He
fucked you. Then He made you feel guilty.
Me, I don't do guilt.
I didn't do what happened here.
He did. Now you just think about that.
Then you tell me
who's really your friend.
I can make it like
it never happened.
All for the price
of a stranger's address.
No!
You will never see the girl!
Now, you see...
Now you're upsetting me.
You don't want to see
me upset, believe me.
Oh, you want to fuck with me?
You think you know bad, huh?
You're a fucking choirboy
compared to me! A choirboy!
You're in touch with your anger.
I really like that.
I don't know about you, but
I'm going to have a drink.
You and I are
so much alike.
We're nothing alike!
Nothing!
Look at yourself. Look at this.
Look at what you are now.
You walked away from the light,
just like me. You want one?
- You need to get out, now.
- Come on. You know what's in your heart.
We're on the same side. I'm not
on your side, and I never will be.
You're on His side? He's
the one who took away your family.
Let me tell you
something about Him.
He is the biggest underachiever
of all time.
He just had a good publicist, that's all.
Something good happens: "It's His will. "
Something bad happens:
"He moves in mysterious ways. "
You take that... that overblown
press kit they call the Bible.
You look for the answer in
there, what do they tell you?
"Shit happens. " Please.
He treated you like garbage.
You walked away.
I'm not the bad guy.
What about the End of Days?
Think of it
as a new beginning.
A change of management. And you'll be
right there with me on the ground floor.
It will be
so cool.
Tell me what you want.
Tell me what you really want,
and I'll give it to you.
I'll tell you
what I want.
I want you
to go to hell.
You see,
sometimes the problem is...
Hell...
Comes to you!
Don't fuck up the coat.
I've wasted
too much time on this.
You see those insignificant little
dots down there? Huh? Do you see them?
That's what you mean to me.
Now, give me the girl!
Not today.
Look down.
Now, look in your heart and
tell me you don't want to die.
All you got to do
is take my hand.
And I'll give you
back everything that He took away.
- Come on.
- Okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Fuck... you!
Hey.
Hey!
- I thought you were dead.
- Couple of seconds, I would've been.
All I remember is steppin' out of the
van, then I woke up in the fucking gutter.
What the hell are you doing
here? What are you talking about?
I've been lookin' for you all
night. What the hell happened to you?
- Hey. Hey. Hey.
- I can't trust you.
I don't know how much you had to drink,
okay, but let's not point the gun at me?
I just need to know.
You need to know what?
That you are you. Of course I'm me!
What the hell are you talking about?
You took his body.
All right. You're ill.
Okay? You need some help. All right?
Oh, fuck!
Jesus!
- Fuck.
- You're bleeding.
Of course I'm bleeding!
You fuckin' shot me!
I just needed to find
out! You found out, okay?
Stop being such a pussy! It's
just a scratch. Pussy? Come on!
Oh, Christ.
Does it hurt?
What do you think?
Jesus.
What the hell's the matter
with you? What's going on here?
I can't explain it.
I shouldn't have left
her alone like that.
I should be with her.
Tell me what to do.
I gotta get back there.
Got to get her as far
away from him as I can.
Okay, we'll leave town. You
get her. I'll get a Striker car.
Just tell me
where to meet you.
St. John's Church...
in one hour.
How much longer, Father?
Well, he has to sire his child between
So, we must keep you hidden
until that hour passes.
We've come to help.
Your Eminence.
In this hour of darkness,
we need all the help we can get.
How's the girl? The girl's fine. Thanks.
No.
No. Father! Father, they're
the ones who tried to kill me!
- No!
- Your Eminence, what are you doing?
We cannot allow this union
to take place. No! No.
Please! You can't! You mustn't!
- Let go!
- She is only one life.
How many lives are you prepared
to end if we do nothing?
- That's not who we are.
- Of course it is.
We are doing God's work. We
are preventing the End of Days.
But you can't prevent evil
by doing evil.
- There is no time!
- No! -
- It's the only way.
- No-o-o!
May God forgive us!
Amen. -
I can do this all day long.
Now, let her go.
You must let us finish.
If she is slain, his hope of creating
a kingdom on Earth dies with her.
- Her death is God's will.
- It's not God's will.
It's your will, and it will
lead to our destruction. Jericho.
She must be removed.
It's the only way to defeat him.
For a thousand years,
we prepared ourselves for this.
We're not afraid to die. Good.
Because I'm not afraid to kill you.
Let her go.
Go. Go.
Get out of here.
Go!
God help us.
We're too late.
- I've come for my wife.
- Let's go.
This is the house of the Lord, our
God, and you are not welcome here.
I can stand the pain of being in
church. How much pain can you bear?
Christine!
Come to me.
I am the one
you've been waiting for.
I am the answer
to your prayers.
In the name of God,
I order you to leave here now!
May the wrath of God destroy...
A thousand years you have waited for
my return. And behold, you have failed.
And with your last breath you shall
bear witness to the End of Days.
No! Jericho!
Get in the car!
Run!
Jesus! Come on!
Bobby, what the hell are you
doing?
What are you doing?
Open the door! Open up!
- Come on! Open up!
- Open the door!
Jer... Please, stop the car! Please!
Jer!
Jer!
You should
have taken my offer.
At least you would have
been happy once in your life.
Let her go,
or I'll kill you.
Ooh, so much anger,
so much hatred.
You're almost there.
I'm gonna hurt you so bad,
you're gonna beg to die.
But I'm not gonna let you.
It's not gonna be that easy.
You're mine, and I want you
to see what's gonna happen.
World religious
leaders have asked their followers...
to prepare for the new millennium
not with celebrating and partying...
but rather with acts
of kindness, compassion...
This is it, New York.
The last day of the first 2,000 years.
- How long have I been out?
- You almost slept the whole day.
You're lucky to be alive.
The time?
It's almost 7:00.
It's not too late.
He has the girl.
But it's not too late.
In nomine Patris,
et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
Jesus, what did you
do? Get hit by a truck?
No, the truck missed me.
Where the hell are you
goin'? Doing my job.
You
know, the cops are after you.
They have to wait.
I've got to do something.
That son of a bitch.
Yes. You wish entrance?
You have much hatred
and vengeance in your heart.
You may pass.
Angelus obscurus.
Princeps finis dierum.
You know
this is what you want.
Angelus obscurus.
You can't resist, can you?
'Cause you don't want to.
I didn't come here to hurt you.
I came here to love you.
Relax.
Give yourself to me.
- No one move, or I kill the girl.
- What are you doing?
- Trust me.
- You're not gonna kill her.
You said it yourself.
I have a dark heart.
- Then stand with me.
- I'll tell you what.
You let us both out of here,
and I'll stand wherever you want.
- Step back, or I'll pull the trigger.
- I didn't want to kill you.
But now you
leave me no choice.
Let her go, Jer.
Oh, don't look at me
like that.
You'd be amazed what you
agree to when you're on fire.
Don't do it, Bobby.
You're better than this.
- You're better than him.
- You know, considering how you've lived your life,
when this is all over, what makes you
think you're going upstairs anyways, huh?
Come on, Jer. This is the
main event. It's gonna happen.
- Why shouldn't you have the best seats in the house?
- You will never get a shot off,
and you know it.
Don't do it.
Bobby.
I thought we had a deal?
Bobby.
Well, I guess
the deal's off.
No!
You son of a bitch!
Here!
This way!
Up here.
Shit!
- Oh, thank God. I thought I hit you.
- Just get us out of here!
Let's go.
Give me a minute.
I'd feel better if you'd show me
how to use one of those things.
- I want to do something. Let me help.
- All right. Here.
You take the gun. Line up
the sight with your target.
Uh-huh. Beware of the
recoil. Here's the magazine.
Put it in. Load.
Only pull the trigger when you're ready...
Like that?
Yeah, like that.
He's on the tracks!
Shit!
- Don't stop! Don't stop!
- What are you doing?
He's gone.
Oh, God.
Go on.
- We must separate the cars. Separate the cars.
- What?
Jericho!
Jericho!
Jericho!
That's it. Come on.
Jericho!
Here. Hold on!
Jericho!
How can you expect to
defeat me when you are but a man...
and I am forever!
We must lock the doors!
- Deliver us, O Lord.
- Everyone, out!
Get them to a safe place!
Get them out of here!
Lady, come on!
What are we gonna do?
Hide. Just hide!
No.
Please, God, help me.
Give me strength.
Christine.
Christine?
Jericho?
Are you all right?
What happened?
It's over.
We won.
Let's go.
Huh?
- What's wrong?
- Nothing is wrong.
Everything is the way it should be.
No! Jericho! No! No!
No, please!
What are you doing?
Jericho!
No!
No!
No! Stop it!
You died for nothing.
You just bought them time.
Please. You have to fight
him, Jericho. I know you.
You're stronger than he is.
That's why you came back for me.
Don't let him win.
Run.
Run.
- Yah!
- No!
Six, five, four,
three, two, one!
Daddy?
Thank you.
Oculus Deum
It's not how you're thinking
As you've been mine
You been living a dream now
Believe you're a bad jump
Believe you're in favor
And drain out your soul
And what can I do
when there's so many liars
That crawl through your veins
Like millions of spiders
And seek out their victims
And who is the wiser
Watch out
Gotcha
Oh my God
I can't deny this
I've been taught
just to kill and fight this
Don't bury it deeper
where nobody can find it
Like nobody wanted to know
So give it away like
they're not gonna fuck you
How long can you beg them
to come back and haunt you
To run past your demons
and carry you to some place
You're startin'to bleed
And they don't give up
Before it's too late
What will you offer
In ways of healing
Oh, I'm so confused
Confused
Misused
Oh my God
I can't deny this
I've been taught
just to kill and fight this
Don't bury it deeper
where nobody can find it
'Cause nobody wanted to know
Ooh, if it opens your eyes
Well, just bet on
a strong compromise
I was willing
to be lost in the shuffle
If only you had let me know
Ooh, if it opens your eyes
Well, then just bet
on a little less compromise
I was willing
to be lost in the shadows
If only you had let me know
And they won't give in 'cause
they know what they're after
I'll give you them days like
it's all that would matter
And
Oh my God
I can't deny this
I've been trying just
to murder and fight this
Don't bury it deeper
where nobody can find it
Well, nobody wanted to know
Ooh, if it opens your eyes
Well, then you can bet
on a little good compromise
I was willing
to be lost in the shuffle
If only you had let me know
Ooh, when they're done
with the show
Like the tide
out on the ocean
The wave's already
set in motion
The only one in the game
who's lost is you
