Adam's Testament (2017)
1
(DARK ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) (MUFFLED ROCK MUSIC) Is this how it's going to be Can't get no sleep I wish I get away She wants to play with me She wants to make me play Moving slower Just act like you don't know Everybody, that was Ax Steel, give 'em a hell of a hand! (AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS) (MOODY ELECTRONIC MUSIC) I'm looking for someone, does this ring any bells? Wait here. - He's in the back. - Now, was that so hard? Doing your fellow man justice. Have a nice day. (HUSHED CHATTER) (THUD) (LAUGHTER) Hey, Adam. It's been a while. You can't do this, you have no right. Get off me. (MOODY STRING MUSIC) I am the island you need My shores are here for you to sleep My trees are here to cover you To protect you from rain and sleet I can be all kinds of things For you to take without the strings I am the island you need But there's a tremor in me It's just underneath, it's just underneath I feel a tremor in me I wanna release, I wanna release There is a tremor in me It's just underneath, it's just underneath I feel a tremor in me I wanna release, I wanna release A father has every right. You can't arrest me, I haven't broken any laws. I'm not arresting you, I'm temporarily restraining you. On the contrary, you have broken the law. Not according to the criminal code, but according to the Book. - What book? - The Book! You once studied and cared about, you remember. You think you're so damn honorable. What you're doin' right now is illegal. FATHER: What am I doing, what about what you're doing? - Look at yourself! - What? I'm free to do whatever I wanna do whenever I wanna do it. I've got my music, no rules, no guidelines. No future, no life. That's a matter of opinion, isn't it? You live your life the way you want to, let me live mine. You're my one and only son and you may not believe this, but I love you. Whatever. I don't know what happened, but what in God's name possessed you to turn your back on everything you once loved? I mean, you could have had anything, I mean, anything you wanted! You mean what you wanted. All I've ever wanted was the best for you. Can't you see that maybe it's not what was best for me? Or what I wanted, I'm sick to death of being dictated about what I'm supposed to do and how I'm supposed to do it. I make my own damn decisions now. Try spending one day, one day in my shoes. I don't wanna fight. I just wanna help you find your way. And guide you the best way I know how. Look, Dad, I just wanna go home. Get some rest, I've been up for like 24 hours. You look like it. Alright, come on. You can get in the front with me. Get your hands off me. You listen to me, I don't want anything to do with you, or your pathetic code of ethics makin' out like you're God's perfect little Christian. You shut your mouth, don't you remember your mother? My mother? What about an eye for an eye? Just like your Good Book, right? How dare you mock God's word. This is your life! I didn't choose this life! God's will did. Your book is a lie. I raised you and this is how you repay me? I fed you, I cared for you! I sacrificed my life for you! You failed. Adam! Adam! Adam! (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) (WHISPERED OVERLAPPING VOICES) Hah! I still got it. Hiya, Joe, what do ya know? How's it goin', huh? Been a long time. Not long enough. I thought I'd just pop in and see how you were doin'. Father knows best, huh? You know, a father's job is never done. Oh, yeah. Oh, I agree, a father's job is never done. But we just keep sluggin', don't we, preacher? Stay away from my son. Understand one thing, you'll never get your claws on him. Not as long as I'm alive. I don't see any claws. I'll tell you what I see. I see a kid who's as tired as I am of the Word. Blessed is the man, who does not walk in counsel of the wicked. Come on, come on, enough with the cliches. You see me wanderin' around with cloven hooves and, and pointy red ears and, fire-red eyes? Do ya, screamin' at people. (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) Bow down! (THUNDER CLAPS) Before Lucifer! And his vortex of evil! Oh, well. I kinda miss the old days. Long gone, oh well. This too shall pass, and the way of the wicked shall perish, and the Lord shall be a shield about me. Who's gonna shield you, fallen angel? Who's gonna shield me? I got news for you, Josepe, this is the neutral zone. Remember? This is my domain. I've been here since time began. This, is my playground. Not yours. Watch out. Here it comes. You gotta take it by surprise. Watch out, here it comes, watch out. Here it comes. You gotta take it by surprise. - Good morning, dear. - Morning. You have my word, I will come straight home. Straight home. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Straight home. (MOODY ELECTRONIC MUSIC) Good morning! Hey, listen. Who's gonna look out for you if I don't? You're right, I don't know what we'd do without ya. Oh, well you'd probably starve to death deciding who's gonna cook. I don't know who's more stubborn, you or your father. Yeah, well, I am my father's son. Yes, you are, and I'm the lucky one who got you both. I'm not gonna see you tonight, have a safe trip, okay? - Thanks, Mom. - Love you. He waits for a sign, but that sign never comes. So he spends his entire life repenting with this feeling that his god has forsaken him. And maybe, just maybe, if he really is a good little Christian, his god will forgive him for whatever it is that he's done. You wanna know what the funniest part is? The whole time, God probably wasn't even listening. He couldn't care less. Let's get outta here. (MEN CHEER) (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) (BOTTLE SMASHES) WIFE: Hard day at work, dear? (SOMBER ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) JOE: Have you thought about what we talked about last week? Next year's just around the corner. I know, I just, I don't know yet. JOE: What's there not to know? What I wish I could do is focus on my band, though. Great, there's always Juilliard. (CHUCKLES) ADAM: Oh, Dad, see you later. (SOMBER ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) (JOE SIGHS) Go ahead, run away from your problems like always. Yes, dear, whatever you say, dear, don't wait up! Don't even bother coming back, I won't be here. Not gonna deal with you later. WIFE: Disgusting. Done. Bye! Bye bye! (CHUCKLES) (SUSPENSEFUL ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) (THUNDER CLAPS) I can see it in your eyes No remorse and no surprise (STRONG WIND BLOWS) (MOODY FUNK MUSIC) (STRONG WIND BLOWS) (LIVELY ROCK MUSIC) (ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC SWELLS) (THUD) Hey. Hey! Adam, wait. Adam! No. Oh, no. Oh, God, no. (SOMBER ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) Mom. No, no! What a shame. Family gets ripped apart. All this gets is a broken arm and a concussion. I tell ya, if it was up to me, he wouldn't even make it to the hospital. I got this. Hey. Whatever you say. 'Atta boy. (SIREN WAILS) A man was found dead in the back of an ambulance earlier this morning after it went off a cliff and burst into flames behind this industrial facility here. Now, police do not suspect foul play, but an investigation into the crash is underway, as the bodies of the paramedics have not been found. ANCHOR: Thank you, Hal, now in the weather. Looks like a nasty storm is coming your... (MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVS) (SIRENS WAIL) - You've gotta slow down. - Why, 'cause he says so? WOMAN: No, because you're gonna kill us. ADAM: I'm not afraid to do, are you? (SIREN WAILS) Step away from the motorcycle, and put your hands where I can see 'em. Kid, I said turn around, and put your hands where I can see 'em. (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) This should be good. OFFICER: You wanna go to jail? Adam. Shut up. You like to play games? I got a game for ya. It's called watch how fast your girlfriend hits the pavement - wanna play? - Why not? Adam! If you think Little Boy Blue over here's gonna do somethin' to you over a little traffic violation, you're dumber than he is. I'll probably get a commendation for takin' care of a couple of lowlifes like you. - Please, God, stop. - God? (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) God isn't gonna help you. You need to accept the fact that God doesn't love you. Say goodnight, sweetie. (THUD) Please don't let him hurt me. Alright, relax, man. Just relax, I'm the one you want, let her go. Turn around, get on your knees, and put your hands behind your head! DISPATCH: All units respond to a 4-17 in progress. Officer Medavoy, Unit 12, 10-4. Looks like somebody up there likes you. Not likely. I catch you on these streets again, and it's game over. (THUD) (SCHOOL BELL RINGS) (BLUESY GUITAR MUSIC) (KNOCK) Hello? Hey. Come on in. ADAM: Who are you? I'm Mr. Razport, just call me Raz. Uh-huh, where's Mr. Devane? Oh, he, uh... He couldn't make it, so they sent me instead. Alright. RAZ: Sit down. Sounds pretty good. You been playin' long? (RAZ LAUGHS) Yeah, too long. Much too long. I have met the best. And I have played with the best. And I have bargained with the best. Bargained? Yeah, it's a long story, kid. I'll tell you all about it sometime. You play, right? (CHUCKLES) Uh, yes. Yes, I do. Nowhere as good as you, though. Hey, don't sell yourself short so soon. (GUITAR MUSIC) I see great potential in you. You got somethin'. You see, music, it's a... It's like science. Math. Everything fits together in perfect harmony. Nothing random, no mistakes. (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) It's all about the frequencies, vibrations. All the great thinkers understood this. Phidias. Plato. Fibonacci. My personal favorite, Euclid. Are you familiar with the Golden Ratio, Adam? Uh, yeah. Yeah, in trigonometry. What are you, a math teacher, too? (CHUCKLES) (RAZ CHUCKLES) I am many things. Are you familiar with the expression, the teacher arrives when the student is ready to learn? (ADAM CHUCKLES) It's a little bit too deep for me, man. I just wanna jam. Oh, I get it. To be young and free, right? Nothing else matters. Right. Music can set you free, Adam. (ADAM CHUCKLES) Adam! Can I let you in on a little secret? Sure. Knowledge is power, my friend. You can have anything you want in this Universe, you just have to take it. Adam. I've gotta go. Hey. Who's that guy? Let's go. Hey, Suzie. (COINS CLINK) (VOICE SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE) Hey, what did you say? Bless you, brother. Hey, maybe you can help me. Ah, forget it. MAN: The boy you seek is not far away. And how would you know that? I'd like to speak to Special Agent Mills, please. WOMAN: Please hold. Listen, Frank, I need a little intel. FRANK: Whatever you need, buddy, just ask. Remember that unsolved case back about 20 years ago where they found all those crazy symbols and ancient writing on the wall? FRANK: Oh, that cult ritual killing case? Yeah, yeah, that's the one. FRANK: Sick, the victims had their eyes and hearts ripped out, what about it? What language was the writing? FRANK: Oh, man, I don't know. I had to bring in experts to decipher it. Actually, Aramaic I think. I can check it out for you, if you want. Everything okay? Somethin' I should know about? Nah, nah, everything's fine, Frank. Just a lead I'm following. (ACOUSTIC GUITAR MUSIC) Oh, that's great. Is that one of yours? Uh, yeah, yeah, it's not quite finished yet, though. Haven't figured out the bridge. We both want the very best for you. - I would do anything for you. - Come on, Dad. What's with the sermon? (CHUCKLES) Sorry. Sorry, I do mean it, though. Dad. JOE: Yeah. It means a lot. (ACOUSTIC GUITAR MUSIC) Do you hear that playin' Yeah, I can hear that playin' Well, it's Gabriel playin' Singin' brothers Will you be ready when I blow my horn You don't really believe that stuff, do you? You once did. What did you say? I once did. (ADAM CHUCKLES) You two sounded good, it's got a lotta soul. You should get together, start a band, make some money, instead of just wastin' away out here. Why bother? You really think anybody would care or notice? All I see are God's precious gifts being wasted every day. See? You're blind, aren't you? My eyes are open just the same. Okay. What do you see? I see anger. Loss and pain. I see someone who's lost their way but is searching for something, anything, meaning, purpose. Answers. You wanna know what I see? I see a loser, a bum, a has-been. You sit there on the street corner preaching to me about life, but do you wanna know what life really is? Liars. Cheaters. Backstabbers. - False prophets. - Yes. Yes, what you speak of is part of a truth, but not the truth, but a truth. One that particularly doesn't serve or concern you at this time, but there are three sides to everything. All things. It's a matter of perspective. There is love. There is forgiveness. And there is choice. No, there's only one side that I see. One choice, that's survival. You either take or be taken. God isn't going to save us. If he could... He would have done it already. Adam! Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing. But inwardly, are ravenous wolves. (PHONE VIBRATES) (PHONE VIBRATES) (OVERLAPPING RASPY VOICES) (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) (THUNDER CLAPS) (OVERLAPPING RASPY VOICES) Hold it right there! I need you two to come with us. I'll take care of this pathetic (FOREIGN LANGUAGE) (SHRIEKING) Sorry for the trouble, ma'am. They won't be botherin' you again. What? Excuse me. Yes, hello. Do you happen to know where I can find an Adam Gable? How do you know Adam? Well, it's my business to know. I caught his act the other night. It was wonderful. You look familiar. - Were you there? - I work there, so what? Well, I'm a music producer. - Really? - Yes, really. I love his sound. It's exactly what the kids are buying these days. - Well, I'll let him know. - Thank you. Would you like a ride? Awful weather, isn't it? (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) (PHONE VIBRATES) No, it's okay, I'll walk from here. (DISTANT HORN BLOWS) (MOODY ACOUSTIC GUITAR MUSIC) Watch out, here it comes It's gonna take you by surprise It's gonna find you in the night You better run for your life You're lost but you think you're free A playground in your mind All your sins will be revealed You cry but you're out of time "We will rise again." "We," what the hell does that mean? Hello, this is Special Agent Mills. Can I can Archives, please? Now you can play with the... (TELEPHONE RINGS) This is Archives, Brad speaking. Yeah, hi, Brad, this is Special Agent Mills. Just wondered if you could help me with a case file. It's number 4378 bravo charlie delta. Please hold, Detective. Ah, here it is. Oh, I'm sorry, I don't seem to have access to those files. You see, our system was hacked last week by a very sophisticated internet crime ring. The whole thing is under investigation. What are you talkin' about? Why haven't I heard about this? Well, gee, I don't know. Maybe it's above your pay scale. Frank. How do you know my name? (BUSY TONE) Hello? Hey, Brad. Hello? - Operator. - Yeah, I've lost Archives. I hate nosy detectives. Torch the place! Take care of our friend Mr. Mills. (CHURCH BELL TOLLS) (SOMBER ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) (PHONE VIBRATES) - Hello. - Hiya, Joe. Ah, cute, Frank. Very cute. (SIGHS) I'm gonna find and save our boy. My love. I promise. Good to see ya, Joe. Good to see you, too, Frank, it's been too long. Listen, I need to talk to you about Adam. What're you talkin' about? You remember that case you were asking me about? It was part of a ring of underground clubs where people kept disappearing. And we kept gettin' nowhere because the feds were breathing down our backs as soon as we had a solid lead. Yeah, yeah, that's right. You won't believe this, but we think that the same guy who was running these place 20 years ago is back. Are you serious? It gets worse, Joe. We've got pictures of Adam at the scene with some of these guys. We have had guys deep cover on this for months. Can't be Adam. I've got a file two-inches-thick that I managed to pull. So, if you want me to help you find Adam, we gotta do it now. - Can you meet me in two hours? - Yes, of course. - We've gotta find Adam. - We will. Just sit tight and wait for me. Oh, by the way. I translated those words you sent. I couldn't make head or tails of it. It don't make much sense to me, it just keeps repeating awake or rise up or something. The strange thing is, it's the same word, but in three different languages. Joe. Joe, you gonna be there? Yeah, Frank, I'll be there. Listen, I owe you. You'd do the same thing for me, brother. Two hours. (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) Joseph? JOE: Father Callaghan. I didn't know you were still in this church. Well, how would you know, you never enter the premises. Touche. (CALLAGHAN CHUCKLES) Joseph, it's good to see you. It's good to see you, too, Father, it's been a long time. - I miss our talks. - As do I. How have you been, how is Adam? I guess there's no point of lying to a priest. It's not good. To be perfectly honest I don't think I'll ever get him back. Oh, Joseph, you're his father, he needs you. He's lost his way, he won't even listen to me. I fear for his soul. What? (JOE CHUCKLES) You know, ever since Katherine, you know. He blames everyone around him, he even blames God. He must be in terrible pain to be considering those thoughts. I'm so sorry, Joseph, I know it must be hard on you. Well, I can accept him being angry with me and somehow blaming me for everything, but to turn on his faith, the one sacred thing that we both taught him to hold onto. Father, I just don't know. Joseph, a man's faith is tested many times in his life. Believe me, I know, it comes with the territory. The question is, do we accept the lies that are sometimes whispered in our ears? Or, do we go deep inside our hearts and listen to the stillness, the inner-gifts that God provides us? You know God is always knocking, Joseph. There's a lot I haven't shared with you. Do not believe the evil one's ways. Do not believe what you see or hear, look inside. Let us pray. Heavenly Father, protect Joseph and his lost child, Adam, from the dark forces that abound. Be their rear guard as they embark into the valley of darkness. For greater is he that is within, than he that is in the world. Satan, you and your minions do not have authority over our lives, for we belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. JOE: Amen. - Take care, Joseph. - Thank you, Father. (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) We'll see. (SOLEMN CHANTING MUSIC) Oh, gentlest heart of Jesus. Ever present in the blessed sacrament. Ever consumed with burning love for the poor, captured souls in purgatory, have mercy on them. (SUSPENSEFUL ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) Be gentle in your judgements, and let some drops of your precious blood fall upon the devouring flames. Oh, merciful savior, send your angels to conduct them to someplace with refreshment, light and peace. Amen. You know, I can still hear you praying in your mind. Ya little leech. I remember when you were a little boy, praying and praying. Spouting Biblical nonsense night after night, hoping that someone was listening. Do you know who was listening, Father? I... Was listening. When you woke up in the middle of the night, and you felt the chill go up and down your spine, and your hair stood up on your arms, and you heard that ringing in your ears. That was me. Listening. Father. (GROANS) (HITCH-PITCHED TONE) I'm sorry. Did I interrupt you? Please. Continue. You were saying something about Biblical nonsense. Go on. No? Oh, Lucifer. Let's not pretend that you're an angel within God's grace, when we all know that you live in the shadows. Tell the father how the high-frequency sound one hears is in fact the presence of light and protection within the darkness you create. For where there is darkness, there is also light. Shh. Do you not remember the truth, my brother? I never understood why he liked you best. You with your self-righteous know-it-all attitude. You never let me have any fun! I wanna have fun with these neanderthal boneheads. Look at him, a priest, a priest dressed in cloth. Like a little girl. I want him! I want him and the guy buried outside! Judge not and you shall not be judged. Condemn not and you shall not be condemned. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged. And with the same measure you use, it will be measured back to you! You hypocrite! You hypocrite! First take the plank out of your eye and you can clearly see to remove the speck from your brother's eye, bla, bla, bla. Where have you been for the last 1,983 years? Don't you know I've already been judged, by the puppet master you call God! What do you care about these parasites anyway? Lest you forget, my cast-down brother, that you only have dominion over the recipients of the number of the beast. And can only take those containing the mark of the beast who worship your image. The priest has repented and is absolved of his sins, and is once again, unlike you, in God's grace. But it isn't too late for you, Lucifer. Ask him for forgiveness. I am not your brother. How dare you talk to me that way. This war isn't over. I may have lost the battle, but my book has yet to be written! (HORN BLOWS) (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) (CHUCKLES) I'll be back. I'll take what's mine. (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS MANIACALLY) (FAINT JAZZ MUSIC) FRANK: This is Mills, leave a message. WOMAN: The mailbox is full. Thanks for the drink. My name is Joe. Nice to meet you. I'm Catherine. Catherine? Oh, it's such a beautiful name. (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) I'd listen to her, if I were you. (CATHERINE CHUCKLES) (CATHERINE MOANS AND GIGGLES) (CATHERINE LAUGHS) You're weak, Joseph. You've always been weak. You pretend to be a man of God. (CATHERINE LAUGHS) Who are you kidding? Do you know why God took your wife away? Because you couldn't protect her because you're weak. You've always been weak. Your son is weak. Like father... Like son. No! I pray for the innocent who have died for nothing, and have succumbed to the seven deadly sins of man. Wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy and gluttony. Let it all burn to the ground! (GLASS SMASHES) (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) No, no. Now to you, Joseph Gable. You self-righteous failure of a human being. You had a choice. Your wife and son counted on you and you failed. You failed as husband, you failed as a father. You have no one to blame but yourself. And I'm gonna end this right here, right now, tonight. (DISTANT SIREN WAILS) Father, forgive me, I have failed. I do not deserve to go on any longer. (HIGH-PITCHED TONE) Joseph. Joseph. Don't be afraid. God has sent me in your moment of need, to be your guiding light. Your son is lost, but your faith can change that, my brother. - How will this happen? - Not by might, nor by power. "But by my strength," says the Lord. He will help your son through Jesus Christ who strengthens you. Adam is very important to God. He's been blinded by Lucifer's darkness, but I assure you, Joseph, that tonight, he will be found by you. Because with God, all things are possible. I am the servant of the Lord. Let this happen to me as you say. The battle has begun. (MUFFLED ELECTRONIC MUSIC) His eyes. - Why are his eyes... - Joseph, be still. We're entering the den of evil. You're gonna see things that you don't understand. But you don't have to be afraid. Not by your strength, but by God's might. Remember, Joseph, the eyes are the windows to our soul. This way, follow me. ANGEL: Stay close. (LIVELY ELECTRONIC MUSIC) Follow me. Adam's at the other end of the club. Go to the men's washroom, you'll be greeted. Good luck and godspeed. (CHUCKLES) (LAUGHS) This brave new law of cause and affectation One world dreams and another one pays the price (MUFFLED ELECTRONIC MUSIC) (MAN GRUNTS) Welcome. Now, what brings a (FOREIGN LANGUAGE) and an (FOREIGN LANGUAGE) to our (FOREIGN LANGUAGE)? Out of my way, Samyaza. (SAMYAZA CHUCKLES) Michael, you remember my name. I am surprised. But I am no longer the watcher for the one you call Lord. I convinced several other Gregory brothers and sisters to stay with me a long time ago. And now we have legions who join me. Have some fun for once. Hm? Oh, you're so serious, Michael. How about you, Adam and Joseph join together, have a talk? You seem to have forgotten that you were banished for your disobedience. You and the other Gregory have done enough. Begetting the felum, teaching the humans dark arts. Especially your brother, Azazel, who taught them the secrets of war, which brought down the wrath of God on them. I remember, the Book of Genesis. (RUMBLING) Well, well. If it isn't the (FOREIGN LANGUAGE). His swine servant, sinner Joseph. And my brother Sam. (CHUCKLES) Let's make a deal. Shall we? Now, we get Joseph, and Adam. We've endured 70 generations of banishment. Now we're back. I think it's fair, don't you think? (SAMYAZA AND AZAZEL CHUCKLE) (MICHAEL GROANS) The Lord said unto you that you shall be led off to the abyss of fire and to the torment and the prison in which all of you shall be confined forever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will, from thenceforth, be bound together with you until the end of all generations. (TENSE ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) (SAMYAZA AND AZAZEL CHOKE) (RUMBLING) Welcome, boys! I am impressed. I must admit, I will miss Azazel and Samyaza. Tossing them into the depths of the desert for seven generations. It's a little harsh, don't you think? You need to control that temper of yours, Michael. (CHUCKLES) Adam, what are you doing here? You're not one of them. This is my family now, Joe. See, you're a liar and I don't care about you. They understand me far more than you ever will. I'm finally free. My eyes have been opened. They're all here to deceive you from the truth. Don't you remember your mother, the love, the family, our bond to God and scripture? God is faithful who will allow you to be tempted beyond what you can handle. The same power that rose Jesus from the dead is at work in you, Adam. You can tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Dad. (DARK STRING MUSIC) Silence! (SIGHS) Enough with the ancient rhetoric. Joseph and Adam Gable, in case you have not noticed, belong to moi. Lest you forget, they are sinners, and I hold the key to their souls. By the time I'm through with you tonight, Michael, you will wish that you never came into my (FOREIGN LANGUAGE). That's where you're wrong, Lucifer. Lest you forget, no one belongs to you. God wants them to have a choice, and I'm here to make sure that they do. I didn't get an invitation. Nor did I. Looks like the real deal. What is this? A United Nations intervention? All this because of the Gable boys and Adam's little... Let's make an example of her. (CHUCKLES) Shall we? (RUMBLING) (WIND BLOWS) And there was war in Heaven, Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and the dragon fought his angels. Do you remember, fallen one? Unto you, child, I say, come into the light. Our Father, who art in heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. (THUNDER CLAPS) (LUCIFER SCREAMS) (LUCIFER PANTS) Don't stay here! What're you doing? Move, you idiots! (MUFFLED ELECTRONIC MUSIC) They will suffer. As I have suffered. Adam, Katia, do you remember anything from the nightclub? Yeah, of course. You came in bursting with your cop buddy here, took me and Kat out, we were having a great time. Yeah, this is illegal, I'm calling the cops. You could tell 'em all about it, 'cause that's where we heading, the police station. They know not what they saw tonight. They're still under the influence of the evil one. I have faith in you, Joseph. We must allow free will to take place for Adam's transformation. Only the devil himself can enter where we're going. He has the power to manipulate and influence, but, he must not interfere with free will. Or he himself will cease to exist. KATIA: I'm so sorry, Mom. Kat. Thank God you're alive. We gotta move. (CAR APPROACHES) (MOODY ROCK MUSIC) Like a pussy cat, you wanna give in Alright Excuse me, sir. I'm not gonna be around forever. And I can't keep bailing you out! So, I should just handle all my problems the same way you do, then? Through a bottle? Why do you think I drink so much, hm? Think I like the taste? I don't know where you are, what you're doing. Or if you're even alive! Adam, son, your mother is dead. My wife is dead! But what can we do? We just have to accept it and move on with our lives, and deal with it as a family! You know that's what she would have wanted from us. Son, you need to pray. Now more than ever. Pray to what? Pray to who, someone I'm not even sure exists? Or someone who doesn't answer me? You tell me something, Dad. What did prayers get Mom? Hm? God took her away from us, he took her away from me. Why did he have to do that? You know, I spent my entire life, trying to be the best that I could be. Love with all my heart and where did it get me? Where did it get Mom? There never lived a warmer, kinder, more caring person than her. She spent her entire life thinking about other people. You sit there and you expect me to believe in something that allows that to happen. Adam, I've done a lot of bad things in my life, I'm not proud of. I'm not a perfect father or a perfect man. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Do you know what Jesus meant, in John chapter eight, verse seven? He meant we're all sinners and we're all human. (ADAM CHUCKLES) Your book. It's our book. Written for every man, woman and child. Passed on from generation to generation, so that mankind can better themselves. You believe in whatever books you want. Just don't expect me to, I'm finished. (KNOCKS) Keep goin', Joe, I think you're startin' to win him over. You stay away from my son! Remember that night when you took out your wrath on the poor, benighted, innocent drunken driver? Huh? Didn't it feel good getting revenge? (CHUCKLES) At least think of your beloved wife Katherine. Don't you want to see her again? I got news for you. She's not the little angel you thought she was. - You lying son of a... - Oh, can't we all get along? Can't we all be one big, happy family? Adam Gable, the Lord is thy shepherd, thy power and thy light. Blessed is the man who bears witness to the Nazarene. Almighty God, anoint this lost child and guide him through the valley of saints through his darkest hour. And let him again embrace the light of your presence. You remember your Latin, Joseph? Here's some for you. You hear that, Joe? He's singin' my song! Oh, my god. (ADAM SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE) Deliver us from evil. Deliver me. You monster, you did this, you monster! (PANTS) (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) Dad! What's going on, what's the matter? - Help! - I say. Is there a doctor in the house? I need some help in here! - It's too late. - What? Too late for me. Don't believe his lies. Whose lies, what're you talking about? We're gonna get you outta here, please! Please, I need some help in here! (DOOR LOCKS) Don't let your mother down. Don't let me down. I'm sorry for everything, I was just, I was just trying to get back at you, at God, at everyone around me. It wasn't right and it wasn't fair. Please, Dad. I'm sorry. Start living, stand up for yourself. Stop running. You have a lot of love. I love you. And I always will. (SIGHS) Dad. Dad! (SOBS) Dad. (SOBS) Michael. Michael! Michael! Dad. (SOBS) (ACOUSTIC GUITAR MUSIC) Finally finished it, Dad. I found my bridge. God rest your soul. (DARK ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) LUCIFER: Hey, kid. Yeah? LUCIFER: You got a minute? Yeah. I'm sorry for your loss. Thanks. I'm sorry, do I know you? I knew your father, you could say we had a few run-ins. I like your sound. Maybe we could do some business, give me a call sometime. - You sure I don't know you? - Nah. I just got one of those faces. Yeah, well uh, I'll keep it in mind. LUCIFER: All I ask. I wanna thank you. Thank me? I must admit, that's the first time anybody's ever thanked me. I'm more powerful now than when I was alive. Power? (CHUCKLES) You have no idea what real power is. You worthless little annoying insect. Careful who you're callin' an insect. What're you doing here? This isn't your battle. You are not (FOREIGN LANGUAGE). You are (FOREIGN LANGUAGE). I believe this belongs to you? I wondered where I dropped this. (STRONG WIND BLOWS) (THUNDER CLAPS) You think you have won? This war is far from over! All these miserable (FOREIGN LANGUAGE)! (FIRE CRACKLES AND RUMBLES) (PEACEFUL ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC) Why does God allow this to happen? If God be for you, then who can be against you? The prince of lies speaks the truth about one thing. This war is far from over. But he's already lost. He just doesn't know it yet. (CHURCH BELL TOLLS) JOE: And you are not alone, my son. When will my children ever learn? (LIVELY GUITAR MUSIC) There once walked a man by the name of Joseph Gable Who made a special deal With the one they call The Stranger And he left his home with some scotch on the table A man of faith, a man of law Lost his son to the one they call the devil God isn't gonna save you, said the music man who is blind Goes by the name of Adam Gable Whose lies he thinks is right He lost his way, he lost his sight To the voices in his mind His story of the fallen man, he runs But cannot hide It is written For what shall it profit a man If he shall gain the whole world And lose his own soul, lose his own soul For the eyes are the windows To our soul The boy you are seeking is not far away Said the angel in disguise Looking straight into my eyes Man's faith is tested many times Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory Forever and ever Amen The prince of lies may speak the truth About just one thing This war is far from over Come a time he'll feel God's sting That he's already lost and yes, there is a cost He does not know it yet and the truth beset On his tortured blackened soul, there is no rest It is written For what shall it profit a man If he shall gain the whole world And lose his own soul, lose his own soul For the eyes are the windows To our soul When will my children ever learn Says the lord in a flash of light Protect us from the dark forces that abound So we can see the testament of our plight Our journey can be found by the blood of the one Who's crowned our king, amen For the eyes are the windows To our soul For the eyes are the windows To our soul |
