Fallen (2007) s01e02 Episode Script
The Journey
Previously on Fallen I think angels are here.
Don't you ever feel like you're in the presence of something special? I'm really scared.
I'm afraid there's something wrong with me.
Aaron scared? Aaron okay? A dog is not talking to me.
But you are in danger Nephilim.
Why did you call me Nephilim? 'Cause that's what you are.
You're half angel, half human.
The Nephilim have the powers of angels, but the souls of man.
They are the biblical half-breeds.
The prophecy said you would come, and here you are.
He bears the names of the Fallen.
He has the touch of the angels.
Uh, the Powers think that they are the Creator's personal storm troopers.
And their whole goal is to get rid of Nephilim.
And they absolutely hate the Fallen.
The important thing is that Camael, leader of the powers, is here, and he's probably looking for you.
I've been looking for you for centuries.
Look, I've been kicked around since I was a baby.
one foster home to another.
and all I ever wanted was a normal life.
your life is in grave danger.
e devi venire con me adesso.
I can protect you.
I can hide you.
why don't you go back to Heaven and leave me the hell alone? You tell us where the Nephilim are, and we let you live.
Sent killer angels to my house? What about my family? Well, they're not your family anyway.
If you forsake your powers, You can save the life you have here.
If not, you will become what you were born to be the Redeemer.
When God created man, a jealous Lucifer mounted a great rebellion in Heaven.
His army of angels was defeated and forever banished from paradise.
These angels, the Fallen, abandoned Lucifer, choosing to live on Earth among the pleasures of humans.
They took mortal wives and fathered abominations, children called Nephilim.
They have the powers of angels but the souls of men.
Angry, the Creator flooded the Earth, killing the Nephilim and driving the Fallen into hiding.
He sent the Powers, fierce warrior angels, to hunt those that survived the flood.
But there was hope for the Fallen in a prophecy.
A Nephilim would be born who would redeem them and return them to paradise.
So the Fallen watched and waited.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if Lucifer had won the war.
I mean, it's not like he got us on his side with promises of an evil empire and eternal suffering.
All that came later after the Fall.
I've tried my best to make up for what I've done.
To help the humans defend themselves against what I helped to create.
But I mean, there's just as much hate in the world, just as much suffering.
More, even.
So have I atoned for what I have done? I don't know.
I just know I wanna go home.
Then that's where you'll go.
It's been one year since I found out that I have the power to send Fallen angels back to Heaven.
But the Powers can sense every redemption.
And we always risk the possibility of an attack.
So we never stop running.
So many Fallen yet to be redeemed.
Be patient.
Stay here.
I'm fighting with you this time.
No, you're not.
I'm not gonna just sit here.
Aaron! Most Nephilim don't put up a fight.
Well, I'm not like most Nephilim.
You'll die like them, though.
I don't know what just happened to me.
I told you to stay in the car.
It's like I almost wasn't even there.
I remember fighting, but it's like remembering a dream.
I felt like I could take on the Powers all by myself.
- I almost felt like I was invincible.
- You are far from it.
When you lose control like that, you are losing the very thing that gives you the advantage over your opponent.
You are as powerful as any angel there is, Aaron.
But your humanity makes you stronger.
In time, you will learn to master this duality, but until then you will focus on returning the Fallen to Heaven, and you will leave the fighting to me.
If I hadn't fought, you'd be dead right now, Camael.
Your journey has just begun.
You must be patient.
You all right? I could heal you.
He did heal me, Camael.
A wound caused by angelfire is much different.
You cannot heal it.
What are we gonna do, then? Find someone who can.
She's gone, Ariel.
Get the paddles, Clarence.
Get the paddles.
Nobody dies on my watch.
Welcome back.
Drop me off here.
This may take some time.
Camael.
Could we check out the school? Fine.
But stay close.
And that's the long history of division, as nation after nation suffered the effects Aaron, this is bigger than your old school.
Well, this is college.
It's different.
and every freethinking individual is a lost prophet.
And every poetic prophecy is a conscious conspiracy to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery.
And we will get free or die.
Because the numbers don't lie.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't even watching where I was going.
No, I wasn't watching where I was going.
Hi.
Paradise Lost.
I know, it, uh Yawn.
So, uh, what's your major? Oh, no, no, no, I don't, uh I don't I don't go to school here.
Uh, just just visiting.
Yeah.
Right.
Looks pretty cool, though.
Yeah, it's okay.
- I'm Chloe.
- Aaron.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah.
Excuse me, is there something I can help you with? Hey, you're not supposed to be in here.
He's right you're notsupposed to be here.
- Ariel.
- Punisher.
Punisher? Yeah, that's what we called him in high school.
Linebacker.
Wow.
This is great.
What's it like, going to college? I don't know.
It's pretty fun, I guess.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
I mean, it's true what they say, you know.
Being away from your parents in a different environment, you really do learn a lot about yourself.
What have you learned? that I like partying almost as much as I hate hangovers.
Uh, how come you don't go? I I want to.
I do.
I guess I just I got a lot going on in my in my life right now.
Well, if you're interested, you can come to class with me.
Help me stay awake.
You can do that? Well, they won't let any random person come in off the street, but if you're accompanied by an actual student I suppose I could vouch for you.
Thanks.
Well, I'd love to i'd do something like that.
I would, um I just, uh I don't know if I can.
Why not? You need Gabe's permission or something? I like her, Aaron.
Come on, 9:00 tomorrow in that building right over there.
I'm gonna meet you out front.
I'll see you there.
Hello? Who's there? Don't tell me it's judgment day already.
I was just getting comfortable.
No, Azazel.
Not yet.
But soon.
Before you know it, Gabriel's horn will sound, and you will be cast into the fires of Hell for all eternity.
I doubt you'll find that environment any more hospitable.
Well, at least it will be a change of scenery.
What is this language we're speaking? It's called English.
It's been very popular on Earth for quite some time.
How long have I been here? 5,000 years.
Give or take a century.
I'm curious.
Did you think more time had passed, or less? What do you want? To give you what you desire most.
You'd give me my freedom? If you agree to help me.
It is the time of the Redeemer, Azazel.
As the prophecy has foretold, a Nephilim has been born with the power to return fallen angels to Heaven.
And I need you to help him fulfill his destiny.
So do we have an agreement? We most certainly do.
How are you, Gadreel? How did you get out? Don't concern yourself with such things.
You know, you got to learn how to blend in.
That's how I stayed alive for so long.
Fine, but there's something I should rather do first.
I'll bet there is.
But you waited 5,000 years.
You can wait a few more hours.
Can you? Thousands have taken to the streets in protests of the arrests of anti-Russian activists this morning.
Cars were set on fire and storefronts smashed, as an angry mob stormed the Russian embassy in the capital of Rome.
So who is this woman, anyway? Over in the Middle East oil fires were still burning Ariel took over the underground after the death of Samchial last year.
She's the one who has been giving me the locations of those you have redeemed.
She's in charge of the Fallen? Yes.
Aaron.
It is so good to finally meet you.
God, I feel like I already know you.
Camael's told me so much about you.
He did not tell me how good-looking you were, though.
You didn't tell me how cute he was.
I'm not exactly his type.
What? It's just Usually when I'm around the Fallen, I get this weird feeling.
Um, it's how I know they need redemption.
I don't feel that need from you.
You're picking up on their desire for forgiveness, their beliefs that they're ready.
You know, and whether they're worthy of redemption or not is a whole other story.
But you're not picking it up from me, because it's not my time yet.
I'll be the last Fallen you'll redeem, Aaron.
Comes with the gig.
Welcome.
There's a bedroom for you upstairs.
Come on, Gabe, The Nephilim has escaped us again.
You have disgraced us with your incompetence.
You're the mightiest angels on Heaven and Earth.
And you can't dispose of one simple half-breed.
The Nephilim we could handle.
It's Camael that's the problem.
Mazarin, the energy signature that drew us here, there's something different about it.
What if the traitor is right? What is this Nephilim he's been dragging all over the country really is the Redeemer? There is no Reedemer, Sachael.
It is the Powers' mission to eradicate all of the Nephilim.
This one is no different from the rest.
Now, when we catch up with the little bastard, and we will, the prophecy will become a dead issue.
You've been killing a lot of your old friends lately.
I take no pleasure in it.
Yeah, that's what you used to say when you used to kill us Fallen.
It was true then, as well.
So how's he doing? He's struggling.
His angelic and human desires are at constant odds.
Yeah, well all Nephilim are like that the first few years.
It'll get better.
It's getting worse.
Maybe you're just working him too hard.
You're new here, ain'tcha? Er Yeah.
Then he went out back with Gina for, like, 15 minutes.
Gina? The barmaid.
He doesn't even know her name.
Damn, man.
You're all right.
What's with the threads, though? Threads? Oh, you mean my clothes.
I like the way you talk.
- The way I what? - The way I what? So, you're a gambling man, huh? You up for a game? So how does one play this game? Hold your horses, chief.
We only play for money.
I have neither money nor horses.
- But I'll wager you a night with Gina - We could do that.
for your mode of transportation.
My bike? Okay, here.
I smell a fight.
You better come through once you lose.
Teach him some manners, buddy! It's goin' down.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait.
Wait a minute now! You don't mean my bike, man! We had a deal, didn't we man? You want my bike? Come take it.
Bad dreams again? You ever have nightmares? Sometimes.
You know how to stop them? All you have to do is wake up.
Morning.
Good morning.
I've never seen him sleep before.
He's not sleeping.
He's healing.
Angelfire wounds can be bad news.
In time, even a little nick would have killed him.
Don't worry.
By tonight, he'll be good as new.
Mmm, I love waffles.
Thanks.
I haven't had a real breakfast in what seems like forever.
You miss your parents, huh? I just haven't seen them in a really long time.
I wish there was a way I could get a hold of them and just tell them that I'm okay, you know? I know.
But it's safer for them this way.
Do you know who my real father and mother are? The Fallen don't exactly advertise it when one of them becomes a daddy.
It's a good way to get the Powers all over your ass.
Yeah.
Camael pretty much said the same thing.
Yeah.
Hey, um Do you think it would be all right if I went by the, uh, college and, uh, just checked out a couple of the classes? Well, you're a big boy.
You don't need my permission.
It's just that Camael never lets me go anywhere or do anything.
You're in Ariel's house now.
And I say you can do whatever you want.
Just no angel stuff.
Angels.
Warring amongst themselves because of mankind.
Lucifer's ambition sprang from envy that angels were no longer God's favorite creation.
At the beginning of Milton's epic, he has suffered a crushing defeat.
Lucifer and his followers had been banished from Heaven forever.
We see him struggling with self-doubt.
We see he has hopes and fears, just like us.
We identify with him.
Yes? So, the devil he's a good guy? Well he's certainly sympathetic.
Lucifer sees himself as a victim.
And it's fair to question whether the Rebellion was his design, or pre-ordained destiny.
Wait a second.
Are you saying that Lucifer was created to rebel? Is that so hard to believe? What is good without evil? Does doing the right thing have any meaning if there is no alternative? But that doesn't make any sense.
Even if Lucifer was destined to become the epitome of evil, he made the choice to follow that path.
o/~ It's never gonna be o/~ o/~ Normal o/~ o/~ You and me o/~ o/~ What you're signing up for is a storm at sea o/~ You have no idea how much I miss you, Azazel.
I'm so glad you got back.
I know.
Well, gotta go.
What do you mean, you gotta go? - You just got here.
- Yep.
I've got something I need to take care of.
What things? The Redeemer's arrived.
Ariel contacted me a few months ago.
Really? Where is she? Where is she? She lives in this college town 200 miles from here.
Good, then that's where I'm going.
You know, your speech has improved, but your clothes suck.
You need real ones.
Angelic robes aren't as stylish as they used to be.
I'm sure I'll find you something that fits.
Whose are these? I don't know.
An old boyfriend.
Or a husband, maybe.
You've been locked up for 5,000 years.
I have my needs.
It's not like fidelity was ever your strong suit.
Oh, wow, okay.
Thanks for letting me sit in, though.
That was really cool.
It's not a problem.
- I don't know, I just kind of thought you might like to sit in on it.
- Hey, um I don't mean to be rude.
Can I just Can I catch up with you in, like, one second? - Of course.
- Sorry.
Excuse me.
I just wanted to apologize for talking out of turn back there.
Not at all.
I admire your passion on the subject, Mr.
Corbett.
- Correct? - Yes.
Yes.
Um, and thank you for letting me sit in on your class, Dr.
Grasic.
So are you a religious zealot, or just a die-hard Milton fan? Uh, neither.
Um, I've actually - never read Paradise Lost.
- Shame on you.
Anyway, I was thinking about what you said about Lucifer and his destiny, and it goes against I'm sorry.
I'm afraid I have no time.
But I spend most of my evenings at the library.
If you'd like to come by, I'd be happy to continue our discussion.
Hi.
Come here.
- How was work? - It was great.
I didn't even have to use my healing magic on anyone today.
You use your healing magic on the job? - Aren't you worried about the Powers? - Oh, I'm always worried about the Powers.
But if I have a chance at saving a life, to me it's worth it.
Besides, I got a few tricks up my sleeve.
It's a protective rune.
It's not strong enough to mask a redemption but it's good for a little interference.
You know, in a pinch.
Keep it.
I've got dozens of them.
Thanks.
Do you think I'm doing the right thing? What do you mean? By redeeming the Fallen? I don't know.
What do you think? I don't know.
Camael's always drilled it into my head that it's my destiny.
But just because I'm meant to do something, does that make it the right thing to do? What if the Earth I don't know, needs angels? And I'm just taking them away? Aaron this is your mission.
Now, whether it's right or wrong is for you to decide.
And I think, until you know, you should keep your gift to yourself.
Because what you're doing is far too important.
You have to believe in it.
That's my two cents.
See your I.
D.
? - Can you hold these? - Yeah.
There you go.
- You got that? - Yeah.
- You're 21? - No, but my sister is.
One for you.
Yep.
There you go.
Okay.
You guys ready? Yeah! Okay, let's do this! Woo! Yep! Cheers.
Cheers.
Yo, aren't you drinking? I'm not really much of a drinker.
He's the designated driver.
Didn't you guys walk here? Yeah.
Don't you guys have classes in the morning? Does that make any difference? Class? Class? You guys Take one drink! It's right there! Come on! One shot won't hurt you.
Man up.
You can't waste alcohol, man.
Man up.
Drink it.
Do it! Woo! Leave it.
Yeah! Just one shot! He's got it right there.
One shot.
One shot.
Ooh, you're not gonna puke, are you? Okay, we're gonna grab some air.
Ten bucks says we don't see either one of them again tonight.
So, how was your first day of college? It was great.
Thanks.
- Chloe.
- What is it? Just You don't want to get involved with me.
Why not? What's wrong with you? - Nothing.
- Then is something wrong with me? 'Cause I've been practically throwing myself at you all day.
Aaron! No! Wait, dude.
Chill.
We were just messing around.

Corbett.
- I wasn't sure you'd still be here.
- The library doesn't close until midnight.
The staff always has to chase me out.
Yeah.
What can you tell me about the Nephilim? It's widely accepted that the Nephilim were killed in the Great Flood.
They were powerful beings, very often portrayed as giants.
Monsters.
Have you ever heard of a Nephilim called the Redeemer? I have.
I'm surprised that you know of him, though.
It's quite an obscure prophecy.
Very controversial.
The Redeemer was a vehicle for forgiveness.
He or she has the power to pardon anyone of any sin, no matter how great.
But there are clues to something else in the prophecy, hints that he may serve another, darker purpose.
What purpose? We don't know.
All we know is that for every claim that praises his arrival, there is another that speaks of it in terror.
We are not even sure if he is a force of good or evil.
Aaron.
Ariel.
How you feeling? Much better.
Thank you.
I'm glad you're up.
I got called in to work, and somebody's gotta walk Gabriel.
Oh, and I promised him some ice cream.
Where's Aaron? He's hanging with his friends from college.
His friends? Mm-hmm.
How long have I been out? Don't worry.
He's fine.
You can't protect him all the time, you know? Yes, I can.
I must.
- He's an irresponsible child.
And that temper will get someone - He's 19, he's a good kid, and he needs some normalcy in his life.
You gotta remember, he's human.
Half human.
That's more than you are.
Who are you to talk? The Nephilim are monsters.
Why? What did they do? What is that? It's nothing.
Where did you get it? My friend gave it to me.
What are you doing? I know what this is.
Protective rune used to hide yourself.
To hide yourself? I don't know what you're talking about.
You hide yourself from angels.
Yes.
It all makes sense now.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Of course you don't.
You never know who might be listening.
But I know what you are.
And I'm just like you.
We are brothers, Aaron.
Brothers in the Order.
The Order? Yeah.
I know why you're here.
You do? Yes.
We both know that the angels are real.
We know that they walk among us.
Tell me would you like to see one? Yes? All this on a teacher's salary? My family has a long history of dealing in ancient artifacts.
What I'm about to show you, you can never breathe a word about, for your own safety.
You have nothing to fear from me.
But as I'm sure you know, some of our members are overly cautious.
Do I have your word? Come.
There she is.
Come.
Child? We have a guest.
Show us your wings.
Your beautiful wings.
Breathtakingisn't it? Now turn around.
Show us your pretty face.
Isn't she beautiful? Vilma! How do you know her name? That's impossible what is she doing here? She's quite comfortable here.
I've taken excellent care.
She's a prisoner.
She's the only living Nephilim.
Would you rather her be strapped to a table in a laboratory somewhere? I'm taking her out of here.
No.
You'll do no such thing It's time for you to leave my house.
Right now.
Lukas God! Those markings.
Wipe away those runes.
I don't want to.
Do it.
Do it now! You are the Redeemer.
Wipe away those runes.
Do it! Vilma.
It's me.
Vilma, it's Aaron.
We're going to get out of here.
It's okay.
You're safe now.
I promise.
You all right? Yeah.
Vilma, say something, please.
You're like me.
How is that possible? I don't know.
I don't know what the hell's going on.
Aaron! Camael.
It's okay.
This is Camael.
He's my friend.
Hey! I rember you.
This girl is Nephilim.
Where did she come from? It's a long story.
You lost control.
The Powers are coming.
You must leave now.
No.
I'm going to stay, and I'm going to fight.
If you don't leave now, they will kill all of us.
And if I do, they'll kill you? I have pledged to lay down my life for you.
That is what I intend to do.
What is going on? Aaron, you must protect this child, as you once need my help.
Run! Take care of the traitor.
I'm going after the Nephilim.
Well, I'll be damned.
Two for the price of one.
It must be my lucky day.
I got to admit, kid.
You gave us a run for our money.
But this is how it ends.
Leave the children alone, Nathaniel.
Azazel.
Don't you have some puppies to go kick or something? This can't be you.
This isn't real.
Oh, it's real.
What could I possibly do to convince you? Oh.
Aren't I? You guys all right? What, are you scared of me? I just saved your asses.
Who are you? I'm Azazel.
Glad to meet you.
Are you one of the Fallen? I'm Azazel.
You never heard of me? Yeah, I'm one of the Fallen.
I'm the Fallen.
Your girl looks a little freaked out, man.
Yeah, well, it's been a rough night.
Yeah, well you know what? It's only going to get worse.
We need to get off these streets, go underground.
Let's go.
Let's go! They can smell you.
They can feel you.
Come on.
We got to go.
Aaron.
He just killed that man.
Vilma, I know what you're going through right now.
But he's one of the Fallen.
He's on our side.
On our side? Whose side are we on? Are we the good guys or the bad guys? If we survive this night, I promise you I will tell you everything I know.
But right now, we've got to go.
Okay? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Hey, could I ask you something? How did you end up in that nutjob's attic? Well, it all started on my 18th birthday.
Strange things started happening to me.
I was getting these headaches, and I was hearing voices.
And then And the angels came.
They're so majestic at first, you know.
So beautiful.
Real angels from Heaven.
Then they attacked.
They killed my aunt.
Burned down the house.
Somehow, I got away.
The angels who did that to you, they're calledthe Powers.
They are the same angels that are chasing us right now.
I just ran.
Hid in the woods.
I thought I was dead, for sure.
I stopped this man in the woods and asked him for help, but he pulled out a gun and shot me with a tranquilizer.
Lukas didn't hurt me or anything, though, he, uh He was kind.
You probably won't understand.
It's not like I had anywhere else to go.
Until you came.
So, thanks for coming to my rescue.
Maybe you can tell me now why angels are trying to kill us? What did we do? It's because we were born Nephilim.
They're on a mission from the Creator to cleanse the Earth of our kind.
We're abominations.
Abominations.
Yeah, you're freaks.
It sucks.
Can we all stop feeling sorry for ourselves now? We're alive, which is more than can be said for Nathaniel.
Hey, listen.
Um I want to thank you for what you did back there.
If you hadn't shown up, we might have been Hey.
You're the Redeemer.
What kind of Fallen would I be if I didn't look out for you? Hey, we got to find out what happened to Camael.
Camael? Ah, I wouldn't worry about him.
What do you mean? Camael's dead.
I can't believe Camael's dead.
What is the big deal? So Camael's troops finally turned on him.
That's a good thing.
He wasn't with the Powers anymore.
He He's been protecting me, ever since I turned.
He was my friend.
Your friend? We are talking about the same Camael, right? Tall, bald, no sense of humor? This is all my fault.
No, Aaron, you were trying to help me.
That's what Camael would've wanted.
I didn't have to do it like that.
I lost control.
And I don't know what we're going to do now.
Look, I've got an idea.
Why don't we get out of town? Lay low for a while.
Somewhere where the Powers won't find us.
Where is that? Has anyone ever told you about the Light Bringer? It's about time you met him.
Hey! Don't move! Stay right there! Don't move! Get back here! Come back here and get down on your knees! Give me your wallet.
Your wallet! All right.
Hurry up! All right! And your watch.
Your watch, too! Hurry! Come on! It's not nice to steal from people.
Hey.
What is wrong with you? It's kinda harsh, isn't it? I'm not a guardian angel.
I'm an avenging angel.
This is who I am.
The world needs both.
Got us a car.
Wanna drive? We're not seriously going off with this guy, are we? He can protect us.
We need him.
We need somebody.
Any day now.
Just hold on.
What is the Light Bringer? Not what.
Who.
He's a fallen angel, just like me.
And his name is the Light Bringer? Is your name the Redeemer? Don't be an idiot.
He doesn't have a name in a traditional sense.
We call him "the Light Bringer" because that's what he does.
He brings us light.
He's an oracle.
He's a seer.
Are you sure that he can help us? He can't help me, but he can help you.
Remember that prophecY about you? The one that foretold your coming? He wrote it.
You'll find that quite impossible, traitor.
Aaron? I suspect we'll have him or his remains within the hour.
He can't last long without your protection.
Mazarin.
Aaron Corbett is the Redeemer.
The prophecy is real.
No, Camael.
It's a lie.
I do hope Nathaniel brings the boy back alive.
I'd love to make you watch while I slit his throat so that when you die, you'll know for certain that your sacrifice was for nothing.
Mazarin.
This is not what the Powers stand for.
You dare tell me the Powers' mission? Are you under the misconception that you're still one of us? You turned your back on us, Camael.
You turned your back on the Creator.
And you'll pay for your sins, traitor.
What I want to know is what in the hell were you thinking showing her to anyone? But he was Nephilim.
You didn't know that when you brought him up here, did you? I thought he was one of us.
Oh, right.
Of course.
Because the Order is just teeming with teenage members, isn't it? Please, put that down.
It's 4th century.
Really? It's exquisite.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Was that precious to you? What about this? Haven't I lost enough tonight? It's not about what you've lost, Dr.
Grasic.
You've lost nothing.
We let you keep her.
She was never yours.
He's the Redeemer! What? Yes.
The boy who freed her he has the markings of the Redeemer.
Start from the beginning.
Is that look in your eye meant to intimidate me? Now, I admit there was a time when it might have, but those days are over, old friend.
Mazarin.
What is it, Sachael? It's Nathaniel.
He's not coming back.
He's dead.
That half-breed killed Nathaniel? Somebody did.
Where is he now, Camael? Tell me.
You know, over the millennia we served together, many of the Fallen said they would never give up their children.
But they always did, thanks to us.
No, thanks to you.
Where is the Nephilim? So who is this Jesus character anyway? Seriously, I've been seeing his name everywhere.
Well, um, a lot of people think that he was the son of God.
What's so funny? The Creator had a kid.
Well, do as I say, not as I do, eh? Did you seriously not know that? Been out of the picture for a while.
How so? Well, you probably heard about what happened in the old days.
About how the Creator flooded the planet because we contaminated his precious Earth with half-breeds like you.
A bit of an overreaction, if you ask me.
But, hey, mysterious ways and all that.
Wait.
You mean, like, Noah's Ark? That flood? Yeah, that's right.
Noah.
That guy could really throw it down, let me tell you.
Anyways.
Afterwards, your buddy Camael and a few other half-wits from the Powers decided they were going to come down and tell us things had to change.
I guess to prove a point, they decided to make an example of someone.
I fought.
Killed one of them.
Slashed this son of a bitch Mazarin across the face.
It was beautiful.
But in the end, they got me.
Took me deep underground, chained me up, and left me for 5,000 years.
So you've been a prisoner, too.
Like me.
Yeah.
Six months in a luxury suite just like being chained to a stone slab for five millennia.
Just like it.
Don't talk to her like that.
Or what? I'm just messin' with you, kid.
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
I'm sure it must've been very difficult for you.
I smell food.
What about food? Who wants to eat? Want to stop for a bite? Well, we're kind of on the run right now.
You gotta eat.
I'm hungry.
Who's hungry? Let's vote.
Me! I'm hungry! Me, too.
I'm starving.
Looks like you lose, chief.
All right, order up.
Oh my God.
What are these things called again? What? French fries? French fries.
I gotta remember that.
Here, try 'em with ketchup.
This is the best food I've ever had in the history of ever! Hey, we get it.
You like French fries.
This is the first meal I've had in a long time.
So if you don't mind, I'm gonna enjoy it.
All right? And lighten up Redeemer.
Why does he keep calling you that? Redeemer? 'Cause that's what he is.
He sends us Fallen back to Heaven.
Show her your arms.
Show her your arms.
The names of the Redeemed.
These are all angels? And you send them back to Heaven? How? I don't know.
Um When I'm around them, I get this, um this weird feeling.
It's hard to explain, really.
Um I kinda open myself up to them.
And then I usually take their hand and, uh this weird energy passes between us.
And then they're gone.
Wow.
Um Do it to him.
What? No, you keep that voodoo to yourself.
Don't you want to go to Heaven? Hell, no.
If I liked it, I wouldn't have rebelled in the first place, would I? Yeah, well, I'm not really doing it anymore.
Not right now.
Why not? There's just a lot I I still don't understand about it.
Plus, I'm not even sure if I'm doing the right thing.
Aaron, how can sending angels back to Heaven be wrong? I don't know.
But I've been having these these weird dreams lately about the end of the world and I'm the cause of it.
Damn, kid, you're a mess, ain't you? Look at me.
Look at me.
When we get to the Light Bringer, I promise you'll understand yourself and your destiny a hell of a lot better.
More coffee? Hello, sweetheart.
What's your name? Suzie.
Suzie.
That's such a pretty name.
Saw you looking at me earlier, Suzie.
No, no.
Don't be embarrassed.
Sometimes I can't stop looking at me.
Let me ask you a question, Suzie.
Is there anywhere near here where you and I could go, um talk? I'm going on a break.
Yeah, all right.
Catch you losers later.
I've told you everything I know.
Hawkins.
No.
No teams.
I hunt alone.
What do you want me to do about the girl? Understood.
Are you going to get my Vilma back? Go on.
I don't care.
I don't want to live without her anyway.
Do you believe that things happen for a reason? You mean, like fate? There's really no other explanation for all this, is there? You and me? I'm just happy to see you again.
Everything makes so much sense now.
The day you left, people said you'd gone crazy - and burned your house down.
- People said that? About me? You ever think about going home? Yeah.
All the time.
It's been a year now and I just I feel like I keep getting further and further away.
You know? At least you have a family to go back to.
Someday.
I wonder if this Light Bringer knows anything about me.
You know, maybe maybe I have a prophecy, too.
Don't jinx yourself.
Still got it.
It's almost too easy, isn't it? Mortal wenches.
God bless 'em.
You know, you really shouldn't say that stuff.
Why? Because it's derogatory towards women.
No, but I'm saying that I like that they're easy.
Weird.
You kids ready to go? Come on, Gabe.
I'm riding in back with Azazel.
What is it? Nothing to worry your pretty little head over.
Let's go.
The aerospace manufacturer pleaded guilty to two counts of violating the Federal Clean Water Act, admitting dumping industrial discharge into the river.
In addition to being placed on probation for five years, the company agreed to pay $1 million in fines and to contribute another $11 million for environmental improvement projects.
Good God, what is happening to this place? Human beings used to care about the Earth, you know? They used to appreciate just how good they had it.
Guess a lot has changed in 5,000 years.
Will this Light Bringer know who my father is? You sure that's something you want to find out? Most Nephilim don't want anything to do with their fathers.
Human women can't survive the births.
At first, we were like, whoops, you know? But it didn't take us long to figure out that, you know, getting one pregnant was like handing down a death sentence.
So they all die? All our mothers? Every one of 'em.
Your old man still sound like someone you wanna go fishing with? Play catch? I just want to know who he is.
We're being followed.
What? By who? I don't know.
Pull over.
Let me deal with it.
It's time, traitor.
Time for you to say good-bye to something you hold dear.
Perhaps your eyes.
No.
There's a certain nobility in blindness.
I could cut out your tongue, but then once you're broken, you wouldn't be able to tell me what I want to know.
Sachael.
I want to see his wings.
Mazarin, no.
You can't That wasn't a request.
Just do it.
Mazarin.
You are lost.
You do not serve the Creator.
Mazarin.
Mazarin.
You are the one who's lost.
And as for the Creator what I do now, I do in his name.
And now, you take your true place amongst the Fallen.
Looking for something? Anane.
I picked up your scent just outside of town, and I've been following you ever since.
How did you escape? I am so sick of everybody asking me that question.
Maybe I didn't escape.
Maybe the Creator decided I was such a perfect specimen he'd set me free.
Did he? That's not the point.
What do you want? I want to know if I'm worthy of redemption.
I can tell that you want it really bad.
But I'm sorry, I'm not doing that right now.
I see.
It's nothing personal, okay? I just I don't know how much time I have left.
Nathaniel did this to me.
He was looking for you.
It's too late for me to be healed.
The wound is too old, too deep.
It's killing me.
You know what happens to angels when they die without redemption? We don't have souls.
Not like you do.
There's There's no Heaven for us.
No Hell.
Just Just nothingness.
Forever.
And that scares me more than anything.
Yeah, well, tough luck, Anane.
Welcome to the yawning abyss of oblivion.
Aaron.
You have to help him.
Please? I want to.
I really do.
It's just that Ariel told me not to until I know it's the right thing.
He wants to go back to Heaven and you can do that for him.
How can you refuse? Look in your heart.
You know it's right.
Wait a second.
You're not actually considering this, are you? With that amount of energy, you're just going to call the Powers right to us.
I know that.
But Vilma's right.
I can't just let him die.
Aaron, don't.
You ready? Yeah.
Stay with the traitor.
Sachael.
You.
I need your help.
Fantastic! You are a genius of epic proportions, my friend.
That was great.
Yeah.
'Cause, uh we got away and it was plain sailing the whole time.
But now it's brilliant because they know exactly where we are.
I'm really proud of you.
Well done.
Look, just shut up, all right? Hey, I'm trying to look out for you.
Trying to keep you alive.
The rest of the Fallen will be plenty pissed with me if you died on my watch.
I'm just saying I'm not afraid of the Powers.
You? I'm not afraid of anything.
Well, that's good.
Because here they come.
I'm gonna put an end to this.
I'm not running from them anymore.
1080p by VISTA
Don't you ever feel like you're in the presence of something special? I'm really scared.
I'm afraid there's something wrong with me.
Aaron scared? Aaron okay? A dog is not talking to me.
But you are in danger Nephilim.
Why did you call me Nephilim? 'Cause that's what you are.
You're half angel, half human.
The Nephilim have the powers of angels, but the souls of man.
They are the biblical half-breeds.
The prophecy said you would come, and here you are.
He bears the names of the Fallen.
He has the touch of the angels.
Uh, the Powers think that they are the Creator's personal storm troopers.
And their whole goal is to get rid of Nephilim.
And they absolutely hate the Fallen.
The important thing is that Camael, leader of the powers, is here, and he's probably looking for you.
I've been looking for you for centuries.
Look, I've been kicked around since I was a baby.
one foster home to another.
and all I ever wanted was a normal life.
your life is in grave danger.
e devi venire con me adesso.
I can protect you.
I can hide you.
why don't you go back to Heaven and leave me the hell alone? You tell us where the Nephilim are, and we let you live.
Sent killer angels to my house? What about my family? Well, they're not your family anyway.
If you forsake your powers, You can save the life you have here.
If not, you will become what you were born to be the Redeemer.
When God created man, a jealous Lucifer mounted a great rebellion in Heaven.
His army of angels was defeated and forever banished from paradise.
These angels, the Fallen, abandoned Lucifer, choosing to live on Earth among the pleasures of humans.
They took mortal wives and fathered abominations, children called Nephilim.
They have the powers of angels but the souls of men.
Angry, the Creator flooded the Earth, killing the Nephilim and driving the Fallen into hiding.
He sent the Powers, fierce warrior angels, to hunt those that survived the flood.
But there was hope for the Fallen in a prophecy.
A Nephilim would be born who would redeem them and return them to paradise.
So the Fallen watched and waited.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if Lucifer had won the war.
I mean, it's not like he got us on his side with promises of an evil empire and eternal suffering.
All that came later after the Fall.
I've tried my best to make up for what I've done.
To help the humans defend themselves against what I helped to create.
But I mean, there's just as much hate in the world, just as much suffering.
More, even.
So have I atoned for what I have done? I don't know.
I just know I wanna go home.
Then that's where you'll go.
It's been one year since I found out that I have the power to send Fallen angels back to Heaven.
But the Powers can sense every redemption.
And we always risk the possibility of an attack.
So we never stop running.
So many Fallen yet to be redeemed.
Be patient.
Stay here.
I'm fighting with you this time.
No, you're not.
I'm not gonna just sit here.
Aaron! Most Nephilim don't put up a fight.
Well, I'm not like most Nephilim.
You'll die like them, though.
I don't know what just happened to me.
I told you to stay in the car.
It's like I almost wasn't even there.
I remember fighting, but it's like remembering a dream.
I felt like I could take on the Powers all by myself.
- I almost felt like I was invincible.
- You are far from it.
When you lose control like that, you are losing the very thing that gives you the advantage over your opponent.
You are as powerful as any angel there is, Aaron.
But your humanity makes you stronger.
In time, you will learn to master this duality, but until then you will focus on returning the Fallen to Heaven, and you will leave the fighting to me.
If I hadn't fought, you'd be dead right now, Camael.
Your journey has just begun.
You must be patient.
You all right? I could heal you.
He did heal me, Camael.
A wound caused by angelfire is much different.
You cannot heal it.
What are we gonna do, then? Find someone who can.
She's gone, Ariel.
Get the paddles, Clarence.
Get the paddles.
Nobody dies on my watch.
Welcome back.
Drop me off here.
This may take some time.
Camael.
Could we check out the school? Fine.
But stay close.
And that's the long history of division, as nation after nation suffered the effects Aaron, this is bigger than your old school.
Well, this is college.
It's different.
and every freethinking individual is a lost prophet.
And every poetic prophecy is a conscious conspiracy to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery.
And we will get free or die.
Because the numbers don't lie.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't even watching where I was going.
No, I wasn't watching where I was going.
Hi.
Paradise Lost.
I know, it, uh Yawn.
So, uh, what's your major? Oh, no, no, no, I don't, uh I don't I don't go to school here.
Uh, just just visiting.
Yeah.
Right.
Looks pretty cool, though.
Yeah, it's okay.
- I'm Chloe.
- Aaron.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah.
Excuse me, is there something I can help you with? Hey, you're not supposed to be in here.
He's right you're notsupposed to be here.
- Ariel.
- Punisher.
Punisher? Yeah, that's what we called him in high school.
Linebacker.
Wow.
This is great.
What's it like, going to college? I don't know.
It's pretty fun, I guess.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
I mean, it's true what they say, you know.
Being away from your parents in a different environment, you really do learn a lot about yourself.
What have you learned? that I like partying almost as much as I hate hangovers.
Uh, how come you don't go? I I want to.
I do.
I guess I just I got a lot going on in my in my life right now.
Well, if you're interested, you can come to class with me.
Help me stay awake.
You can do that? Well, they won't let any random person come in off the street, but if you're accompanied by an actual student I suppose I could vouch for you.
Thanks.
Well, I'd love to i'd do something like that.
I would, um I just, uh I don't know if I can.
Why not? You need Gabe's permission or something? I like her, Aaron.
Come on, 9:00 tomorrow in that building right over there.
I'm gonna meet you out front.
I'll see you there.
Hello? Who's there? Don't tell me it's judgment day already.
I was just getting comfortable.
No, Azazel.
Not yet.
But soon.
Before you know it, Gabriel's horn will sound, and you will be cast into the fires of Hell for all eternity.
I doubt you'll find that environment any more hospitable.
Well, at least it will be a change of scenery.
What is this language we're speaking? It's called English.
It's been very popular on Earth for quite some time.
How long have I been here? 5,000 years.
Give or take a century.
I'm curious.
Did you think more time had passed, or less? What do you want? To give you what you desire most.
You'd give me my freedom? If you agree to help me.
It is the time of the Redeemer, Azazel.
As the prophecy has foretold, a Nephilim has been born with the power to return fallen angels to Heaven.
And I need you to help him fulfill his destiny.
So do we have an agreement? We most certainly do.
How are you, Gadreel? How did you get out? Don't concern yourself with such things.
You know, you got to learn how to blend in.
That's how I stayed alive for so long.
Fine, but there's something I should rather do first.
I'll bet there is.
But you waited 5,000 years.
You can wait a few more hours.
Can you? Thousands have taken to the streets in protests of the arrests of anti-Russian activists this morning.
Cars were set on fire and storefronts smashed, as an angry mob stormed the Russian embassy in the capital of Rome.
So who is this woman, anyway? Over in the Middle East oil fires were still burning Ariel took over the underground after the death of Samchial last year.
She's the one who has been giving me the locations of those you have redeemed.
She's in charge of the Fallen? Yes.
Aaron.
It is so good to finally meet you.
God, I feel like I already know you.
Camael's told me so much about you.
He did not tell me how good-looking you were, though.
You didn't tell me how cute he was.
I'm not exactly his type.
What? It's just Usually when I'm around the Fallen, I get this weird feeling.
Um, it's how I know they need redemption.
I don't feel that need from you.
You're picking up on their desire for forgiveness, their beliefs that they're ready.
You know, and whether they're worthy of redemption or not is a whole other story.
But you're not picking it up from me, because it's not my time yet.
I'll be the last Fallen you'll redeem, Aaron.
Comes with the gig.
Welcome.
There's a bedroom for you upstairs.
Come on, Gabe, The Nephilim has escaped us again.
You have disgraced us with your incompetence.
You're the mightiest angels on Heaven and Earth.
And you can't dispose of one simple half-breed.
The Nephilim we could handle.
It's Camael that's the problem.
Mazarin, the energy signature that drew us here, there's something different about it.
What if the traitor is right? What is this Nephilim he's been dragging all over the country really is the Redeemer? There is no Reedemer, Sachael.
It is the Powers' mission to eradicate all of the Nephilim.
This one is no different from the rest.
Now, when we catch up with the little bastard, and we will, the prophecy will become a dead issue.
You've been killing a lot of your old friends lately.
I take no pleasure in it.
Yeah, that's what you used to say when you used to kill us Fallen.
It was true then, as well.
So how's he doing? He's struggling.
His angelic and human desires are at constant odds.
Yeah, well all Nephilim are like that the first few years.
It'll get better.
It's getting worse.
Maybe you're just working him too hard.
You're new here, ain'tcha? Er Yeah.
Then he went out back with Gina for, like, 15 minutes.
Gina? The barmaid.
He doesn't even know her name.
Damn, man.
You're all right.
What's with the threads, though? Threads? Oh, you mean my clothes.
I like the way you talk.
- The way I what? - The way I what? So, you're a gambling man, huh? You up for a game? So how does one play this game? Hold your horses, chief.
We only play for money.
I have neither money nor horses.
- But I'll wager you a night with Gina - We could do that.
for your mode of transportation.
My bike? Okay, here.
I smell a fight.
You better come through once you lose.
Teach him some manners, buddy! It's goin' down.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait.
Wait a minute now! You don't mean my bike, man! We had a deal, didn't we man? You want my bike? Come take it.
Bad dreams again? You ever have nightmares? Sometimes.
You know how to stop them? All you have to do is wake up.
Morning.
Good morning.
I've never seen him sleep before.
He's not sleeping.
He's healing.
Angelfire wounds can be bad news.
In time, even a little nick would have killed him.
Don't worry.
By tonight, he'll be good as new.
Mmm, I love waffles.
Thanks.
I haven't had a real breakfast in what seems like forever.
You miss your parents, huh? I just haven't seen them in a really long time.
I wish there was a way I could get a hold of them and just tell them that I'm okay, you know? I know.
But it's safer for them this way.
Do you know who my real father and mother are? The Fallen don't exactly advertise it when one of them becomes a daddy.
It's a good way to get the Powers all over your ass.
Yeah.
Camael pretty much said the same thing.
Yeah.
Hey, um Do you think it would be all right if I went by the, uh, college and, uh, just checked out a couple of the classes? Well, you're a big boy.
You don't need my permission.
It's just that Camael never lets me go anywhere or do anything.
You're in Ariel's house now.
And I say you can do whatever you want.
Just no angel stuff.
Angels.
Warring amongst themselves because of mankind.
Lucifer's ambition sprang from envy that angels were no longer God's favorite creation.
At the beginning of Milton's epic, he has suffered a crushing defeat.
Lucifer and his followers had been banished from Heaven forever.
We see him struggling with self-doubt.
We see he has hopes and fears, just like us.
We identify with him.
Yes? So, the devil he's a good guy? Well he's certainly sympathetic.
Lucifer sees himself as a victim.
And it's fair to question whether the Rebellion was his design, or pre-ordained destiny.
Wait a second.
Are you saying that Lucifer was created to rebel? Is that so hard to believe? What is good without evil? Does doing the right thing have any meaning if there is no alternative? But that doesn't make any sense.
Even if Lucifer was destined to become the epitome of evil, he made the choice to follow that path.
o/~ It's never gonna be o/~ o/~ Normal o/~ o/~ You and me o/~ o/~ What you're signing up for is a storm at sea o/~ You have no idea how much I miss you, Azazel.
I'm so glad you got back.
I know.
Well, gotta go.
What do you mean, you gotta go? - You just got here.
- Yep.
I've got something I need to take care of.
What things? The Redeemer's arrived.
Ariel contacted me a few months ago.
Really? Where is she? Where is she? She lives in this college town 200 miles from here.
Good, then that's where I'm going.
You know, your speech has improved, but your clothes suck.
You need real ones.
Angelic robes aren't as stylish as they used to be.
I'm sure I'll find you something that fits.
Whose are these? I don't know.
An old boyfriend.
Or a husband, maybe.
You've been locked up for 5,000 years.
I have my needs.
It's not like fidelity was ever your strong suit.
Oh, wow, okay.
Thanks for letting me sit in, though.
That was really cool.
It's not a problem.
- I don't know, I just kind of thought you might like to sit in on it.
- Hey, um I don't mean to be rude.
Can I just Can I catch up with you in, like, one second? - Of course.
- Sorry.
Excuse me.
I just wanted to apologize for talking out of turn back there.
Not at all.
I admire your passion on the subject, Mr.
Corbett.
- Correct? - Yes.
Yes.
Um, and thank you for letting me sit in on your class, Dr.
Grasic.
So are you a religious zealot, or just a die-hard Milton fan? Uh, neither.
Um, I've actually - never read Paradise Lost.
- Shame on you.
Anyway, I was thinking about what you said about Lucifer and his destiny, and it goes against I'm sorry.
I'm afraid I have no time.
But I spend most of my evenings at the library.
If you'd like to come by, I'd be happy to continue our discussion.
Hi.
Come here.
- How was work? - It was great.
I didn't even have to use my healing magic on anyone today.
You use your healing magic on the job? - Aren't you worried about the Powers? - Oh, I'm always worried about the Powers.
But if I have a chance at saving a life, to me it's worth it.
Besides, I got a few tricks up my sleeve.
It's a protective rune.
It's not strong enough to mask a redemption but it's good for a little interference.
You know, in a pinch.
Keep it.
I've got dozens of them.
Thanks.
Do you think I'm doing the right thing? What do you mean? By redeeming the Fallen? I don't know.
What do you think? I don't know.
Camael's always drilled it into my head that it's my destiny.
But just because I'm meant to do something, does that make it the right thing to do? What if the Earth I don't know, needs angels? And I'm just taking them away? Aaron this is your mission.
Now, whether it's right or wrong is for you to decide.
And I think, until you know, you should keep your gift to yourself.
Because what you're doing is far too important.
You have to believe in it.
That's my two cents.
See your I.
D.
? - Can you hold these? - Yeah.
There you go.
- You got that? - Yeah.
- You're 21? - No, but my sister is.
One for you.
Yep.
There you go.
Okay.
You guys ready? Yeah! Okay, let's do this! Woo! Yep! Cheers.
Cheers.
Yo, aren't you drinking? I'm not really much of a drinker.
He's the designated driver.
Didn't you guys walk here? Yeah.
Don't you guys have classes in the morning? Does that make any difference? Class? Class? You guys Take one drink! It's right there! Come on! One shot won't hurt you.
Man up.
You can't waste alcohol, man.
Man up.
Drink it.
Do it! Woo! Leave it.
Yeah! Just one shot! He's got it right there.
One shot.
One shot.
Ooh, you're not gonna puke, are you? Okay, we're gonna grab some air.
Ten bucks says we don't see either one of them again tonight.
So, how was your first day of college? It was great.
Thanks.
- Chloe.
- What is it? Just You don't want to get involved with me.
Why not? What's wrong with you? - Nothing.
- Then is something wrong with me? 'Cause I've been practically throwing myself at you all day.
Aaron! No! Wait, dude.
Chill.

Corbett.
- I wasn't sure you'd still be here.
- The library doesn't close until midnight.
The staff always has to chase me out.
Yeah.
What can you tell me about the Nephilim? It's widely accepted that the Nephilim were killed in the Great Flood.
They were powerful beings, very often portrayed as giants.
Monsters.
Have you ever heard of a Nephilim called the Redeemer? I have.
I'm surprised that you know of him, though.
It's quite an obscure prophecy.
Very controversial.
The Redeemer was a vehicle for forgiveness.
He or she has the power to pardon anyone of any sin, no matter how great.
But there are clues to something else in the prophecy, hints that he may serve another, darker purpose.
What purpose? We don't know.
All we know is that for every claim that praises his arrival, there is another that speaks of it in terror.
We are not even sure if he is a force of good or evil.
Aaron.
Ariel.
How you feeling? Much better.
Thank you.
I'm glad you're up.
I got called in to work, and somebody's gotta walk Gabriel.
Oh, and I promised him some ice cream.
Where's Aaron? He's hanging with his friends from college.
His friends? Mm-hmm.
How long have I been out? Don't worry.
He's fine.
You can't protect him all the time, you know? Yes, I can.
I must.
- He's an irresponsible child.
And that temper will get someone - He's 19, he's a good kid, and he needs some normalcy in his life.
You gotta remember, he's human.
Half human.
That's more than you are.
Who are you to talk? The Nephilim are monsters.
Why? What did they do? What is that? It's nothing.
Where did you get it? My friend gave it to me.
What are you doing? I know what this is.
Protective rune used to hide yourself.
To hide yourself? I don't know what you're talking about.
You hide yourself from angels.
Yes.
It all makes sense now.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Of course you don't.
You never know who might be listening.
But I know what you are.
And I'm just like you.
We are brothers, Aaron.
Brothers in the Order.
The Order? Yeah.
I know why you're here.
You do? Yes.
We both know that the angels are real.
We know that they walk among us.
Tell me would you like to see one? Yes? All this on a teacher's salary? My family has a long history of dealing in ancient artifacts.
What I'm about to show you, you can never breathe a word about, for your own safety.
You have nothing to fear from me.
But as I'm sure you know, some of our members are overly cautious.
Do I have your word? Come.
There she is.
Come.
Child? We have a guest.
Show us your wings.
Your beautiful wings.
Breathtakingisn't it? Now turn around.
Show us your pretty face.
Isn't she beautiful? Vilma! How do you know her name? That's impossible what is she doing here? She's quite comfortable here.
I've taken excellent care.
She's a prisoner.
She's the only living Nephilim.
Would you rather her be strapped to a table in a laboratory somewhere? I'm taking her out of here.
No.
You'll do no such thing It's time for you to leave my house.
Right now.
Lukas God! Those markings.
Wipe away those runes.
I don't want to.
Do it.
Do it now! You are the Redeemer.
Wipe away those runes.
Do it! Vilma.
It's me.
Vilma, it's Aaron.
We're going to get out of here.
It's okay.
You're safe now.
I promise.
You all right? Yeah.
Vilma, say something, please.
You're like me.
How is that possible? I don't know.
I don't know what the hell's going on.
Aaron! Camael.
It's okay.
This is Camael.
He's my friend.
Hey! I rember you.
This girl is Nephilim.
Where did she come from? It's a long story.
You lost control.
The Powers are coming.
You must leave now.
No.
I'm going to stay, and I'm going to fight.
If you don't leave now, they will kill all of us.
And if I do, they'll kill you? I have pledged to lay down my life for you.
That is what I intend to do.
What is going on? Aaron, you must protect this child, as you once need my help.
Run! Take care of the traitor.
I'm going after the Nephilim.
Well, I'll be damned.
Two for the price of one.
It must be my lucky day.
I got to admit, kid.
You gave us a run for our money.
But this is how it ends.
Leave the children alone, Nathaniel.
Azazel.
Don't you have some puppies to go kick or something? This can't be you.
This isn't real.
Oh, it's real.
What could I possibly do to convince you? Oh.
Aren't I? You guys all right? What, are you scared of me? I just saved your asses.
Who are you? I'm Azazel.
Glad to meet you.
Are you one of the Fallen? I'm Azazel.
You never heard of me? Yeah, I'm one of the Fallen.
I'm the Fallen.
Your girl looks a little freaked out, man.
Yeah, well, it's been a rough night.
Yeah, well you know what? It's only going to get worse.
We need to get off these streets, go underground.
Let's go.
Let's go! They can smell you.
They can feel you.
Come on.
We got to go.
Aaron.
He just killed that man.
Vilma, I know what you're going through right now.
But he's one of the Fallen.
He's on our side.
On our side? Whose side are we on? Are we the good guys or the bad guys? If we survive this night, I promise you I will tell you everything I know.
But right now, we've got to go.
Okay? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Hey, could I ask you something? How did you end up in that nutjob's attic? Well, it all started on my 18th birthday.
Strange things started happening to me.
I was getting these headaches, and I was hearing voices.
And then And the angels came.
They're so majestic at first, you know.
So beautiful.
Real angels from Heaven.
Then they attacked.
They killed my aunt.
Burned down the house.
Somehow, I got away.
The angels who did that to you, they're calledthe Powers.
They are the same angels that are chasing us right now.
I just ran.
Hid in the woods.
I thought I was dead, for sure.
I stopped this man in the woods and asked him for help, but he pulled out a gun and shot me with a tranquilizer.
Lukas didn't hurt me or anything, though, he, uh He was kind.
You probably won't understand.
It's not like I had anywhere else to go.
Until you came.
So, thanks for coming to my rescue.
Maybe you can tell me now why angels are trying to kill us? What did we do? It's because we were born Nephilim.
They're on a mission from the Creator to cleanse the Earth of our kind.
We're abominations.
Abominations.
Yeah, you're freaks.
It sucks.
Can we all stop feeling sorry for ourselves now? We're alive, which is more than can be said for Nathaniel.
Hey, listen.
Um I want to thank you for what you did back there.
If you hadn't shown up, we might have been Hey.
You're the Redeemer.
What kind of Fallen would I be if I didn't look out for you? Hey, we got to find out what happened to Camael.
Camael? Ah, I wouldn't worry about him.
What do you mean? Camael's dead.
I can't believe Camael's dead.
What is the big deal? So Camael's troops finally turned on him.
That's a good thing.
He wasn't with the Powers anymore.
He He's been protecting me, ever since I turned.
He was my friend.
Your friend? We are talking about the same Camael, right? Tall, bald, no sense of humor? This is all my fault.
No, Aaron, you were trying to help me.
That's what Camael would've wanted.
I didn't have to do it like that.
I lost control.
And I don't know what we're going to do now.
Look, I've got an idea.
Why don't we get out of town? Lay low for a while.
Somewhere where the Powers won't find us.
Where is that? Has anyone ever told you about the Light Bringer? It's about time you met him.
Hey! Don't move! Stay right there! Don't move! Get back here! Come back here and get down on your knees! Give me your wallet.
Your wallet! All right.
Hurry up! All right! And your watch.
Your watch, too! Hurry! Come on! It's not nice to steal from people.
Hey.
What is wrong with you? It's kinda harsh, isn't it? I'm not a guardian angel.
I'm an avenging angel.
This is who I am.
The world needs both.
Got us a car.
Wanna drive? We're not seriously going off with this guy, are we? He can protect us.
We need him.
We need somebody.
Any day now.
Just hold on.
What is the Light Bringer? Not what.
Who.
He's a fallen angel, just like me.
And his name is the Light Bringer? Is your name the Redeemer? Don't be an idiot.
He doesn't have a name in a traditional sense.
We call him "the Light Bringer" because that's what he does.
He brings us light.
He's an oracle.
He's a seer.
Are you sure that he can help us? He can't help me, but he can help you.
Remember that prophecY about you? The one that foretold your coming? He wrote it.
You'll find that quite impossible, traitor.
Aaron? I suspect we'll have him or his remains within the hour.
He can't last long without your protection.
Mazarin.
Aaron Corbett is the Redeemer.
The prophecy is real.
No, Camael.
It's a lie.
I do hope Nathaniel brings the boy back alive.
I'd love to make you watch while I slit his throat so that when you die, you'll know for certain that your sacrifice was for nothing.
Mazarin.
This is not what the Powers stand for.
You dare tell me the Powers' mission? Are you under the misconception that you're still one of us? You turned your back on us, Camael.
You turned your back on the Creator.
And you'll pay for your sins, traitor.
What I want to know is what in the hell were you thinking showing her to anyone? But he was Nephilim.
You didn't know that when you brought him up here, did you? I thought he was one of us.
Oh, right.
Of course.
Because the Order is just teeming with teenage members, isn't it? Please, put that down.
It's 4th century.
Really? It's exquisite.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Was that precious to you? What about this? Haven't I lost enough tonight? It's not about what you've lost, Dr.
Grasic.
You've lost nothing.
We let you keep her.
She was never yours.
He's the Redeemer! What? Yes.
The boy who freed her he has the markings of the Redeemer.
Start from the beginning.
Is that look in your eye meant to intimidate me? Now, I admit there was a time when it might have, but those days are over, old friend.
Mazarin.
What is it, Sachael? It's Nathaniel.
He's not coming back.
He's dead.
That half-breed killed Nathaniel? Somebody did.
Where is he now, Camael? Tell me.
You know, over the millennia we served together, many of the Fallen said they would never give up their children.
But they always did, thanks to us.
No, thanks to you.
Where is the Nephilim? So who is this Jesus character anyway? Seriously, I've been seeing his name everywhere.
Well, um, a lot of people think that he was the son of God.
What's so funny? The Creator had a kid.
Well, do as I say, not as I do, eh? Did you seriously not know that? Been out of the picture for a while.
How so? Well, you probably heard about what happened in the old days.
About how the Creator flooded the planet because we contaminated his precious Earth with half-breeds like you.
A bit of an overreaction, if you ask me.
But, hey, mysterious ways and all that.
Wait.
You mean, like, Noah's Ark? That flood? Yeah, that's right.
Noah.
That guy could really throw it down, let me tell you.
Anyways.
Afterwards, your buddy Camael and a few other half-wits from the Powers decided they were going to come down and tell us things had to change.
I guess to prove a point, they decided to make an example of someone.
I fought.
Killed one of them.
Slashed this son of a bitch Mazarin across the face.
It was beautiful.
But in the end, they got me.
Took me deep underground, chained me up, and left me for 5,000 years.
So you've been a prisoner, too.
Like me.
Yeah.
Six months in a luxury suite just like being chained to a stone slab for five millennia.
Just like it.
Don't talk to her like that.
Or what? I'm just messin' with you, kid.
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
I'm sure it must've been very difficult for you.
I smell food.
What about food? Who wants to eat? Want to stop for a bite? Well, we're kind of on the run right now.
You gotta eat.
I'm hungry.
Who's hungry? Let's vote.
Me! I'm hungry! Me, too.
I'm starving.
Looks like you lose, chief.
All right, order up.
Oh my God.
What are these things called again? What? French fries? French fries.
I gotta remember that.
Here, try 'em with ketchup.
This is the best food I've ever had in the history of ever! Hey, we get it.
You like French fries.
This is the first meal I've had in a long time.
So if you don't mind, I'm gonna enjoy it.
All right? And lighten up Redeemer.
Why does he keep calling you that? Redeemer? 'Cause that's what he is.
He sends us Fallen back to Heaven.
Show her your arms.
Show her your arms.
The names of the Redeemed.
These are all angels? And you send them back to Heaven? How? I don't know.
Um When I'm around them, I get this, um this weird feeling.
It's hard to explain, really.
Um I kinda open myself up to them.
And then I usually take their hand and, uh this weird energy passes between us.
And then they're gone.
Wow.
Um Do it to him.
What? No, you keep that voodoo to yourself.
Don't you want to go to Heaven? Hell, no.
If I liked it, I wouldn't have rebelled in the first place, would I? Yeah, well, I'm not really doing it anymore.
Not right now.
Why not? There's just a lot I I still don't understand about it.
Plus, I'm not even sure if I'm doing the right thing.
Aaron, how can sending angels back to Heaven be wrong? I don't know.
But I've been having these these weird dreams lately about the end of the world and I'm the cause of it.
Damn, kid, you're a mess, ain't you? Look at me.
Look at me.
When we get to the Light Bringer, I promise you'll understand yourself and your destiny a hell of a lot better.
More coffee? Hello, sweetheart.
What's your name? Suzie.
Suzie.
That's such a pretty name.
Saw you looking at me earlier, Suzie.
No, no.
Don't be embarrassed.
Sometimes I can't stop looking at me.
Let me ask you a question, Suzie.
Is there anywhere near here where you and I could go, um talk? I'm going on a break.
Yeah, all right.
Catch you losers later.
I've told you everything I know.
Hawkins.
No.
No teams.
I hunt alone.
What do you want me to do about the girl? Understood.
Are you going to get my Vilma back? Go on.
I don't care.
I don't want to live without her anyway.
Do you believe that things happen for a reason? You mean, like fate? There's really no other explanation for all this, is there? You and me? I'm just happy to see you again.
Everything makes so much sense now.
The day you left, people said you'd gone crazy - and burned your house down.
- People said that? About me? You ever think about going home? Yeah.
All the time.
It's been a year now and I just I feel like I keep getting further and further away.
You know? At least you have a family to go back to.
Someday.
I wonder if this Light Bringer knows anything about me.
You know, maybe maybe I have a prophecy, too.
Don't jinx yourself.
Still got it.
It's almost too easy, isn't it? Mortal wenches.
God bless 'em.
You know, you really shouldn't say that stuff.
Why? Because it's derogatory towards women.
No, but I'm saying that I like that they're easy.
Weird.
You kids ready to go? Come on, Gabe.
I'm riding in back with Azazel.
What is it? Nothing to worry your pretty little head over.
Let's go.
The aerospace manufacturer pleaded guilty to two counts of violating the Federal Clean Water Act, admitting dumping industrial discharge into the river.
In addition to being placed on probation for five years, the company agreed to pay $1 million in fines and to contribute another $11 million for environmental improvement projects.
Good God, what is happening to this place? Human beings used to care about the Earth, you know? They used to appreciate just how good they had it.
Guess a lot has changed in 5,000 years.
Will this Light Bringer know who my father is? You sure that's something you want to find out? Most Nephilim don't want anything to do with their fathers.
Human women can't survive the births.
At first, we were like, whoops, you know? But it didn't take us long to figure out that, you know, getting one pregnant was like handing down a death sentence.
So they all die? All our mothers? Every one of 'em.
Your old man still sound like someone you wanna go fishing with? Play catch? I just want to know who he is.
We're being followed.
What? By who? I don't know.
Pull over.
Let me deal with it.
It's time, traitor.
Time for you to say good-bye to something you hold dear.
Perhaps your eyes.
No.
There's a certain nobility in blindness.
I could cut out your tongue, but then once you're broken, you wouldn't be able to tell me what I want to know.
Sachael.
I want to see his wings.
Mazarin, no.
You can't That wasn't a request.
Just do it.
Mazarin.
You are lost.
You do not serve the Creator.
Mazarin.
Mazarin.
You are the one who's lost.
And as for the Creator what I do now, I do in his name.
And now, you take your true place amongst the Fallen.
Looking for something? Anane.
I picked up your scent just outside of town, and I've been following you ever since.
How did you escape? I am so sick of everybody asking me that question.
Maybe I didn't escape.
Maybe the Creator decided I was such a perfect specimen he'd set me free.
Did he? That's not the point.
What do you want? I want to know if I'm worthy of redemption.
I can tell that you want it really bad.
But I'm sorry, I'm not doing that right now.
I see.
It's nothing personal, okay? I just I don't know how much time I have left.
Nathaniel did this to me.
He was looking for you.
It's too late for me to be healed.
The wound is too old, too deep.
It's killing me.
You know what happens to angels when they die without redemption? We don't have souls.
Not like you do.
There's There's no Heaven for us.
No Hell.
Just Just nothingness.
Forever.
And that scares me more than anything.
Yeah, well, tough luck, Anane.
Welcome to the yawning abyss of oblivion.
Aaron.
You have to help him.
Please? I want to.
I really do.
It's just that Ariel told me not to until I know it's the right thing.
He wants to go back to Heaven and you can do that for him.
How can you refuse? Look in your heart.
You know it's right.
Wait a second.
You're not actually considering this, are you? With that amount of energy, you're just going to call the Powers right to us.
I know that.
But Vilma's right.
I can't just let him die.
Aaron, don't.
You ready? Yeah.
Stay with the traitor.
Sachael.
You.
I need your help.
Fantastic! You are a genius of epic proportions, my friend.
That was great.
Yeah.
'Cause, uh we got away and it was plain sailing the whole time.
But now it's brilliant because they know exactly where we are.
I'm really proud of you.
Well done.
Look, just shut up, all right? Hey, I'm trying to look out for you.
Trying to keep you alive.
The rest of the Fallen will be plenty pissed with me if you died on my watch.
I'm just saying I'm not afraid of the Powers.
You? I'm not afraid of anything.
Well, that's good.
Because here they come.
I'm gonna put an end to this.
I'm not running from them anymore.
