Retribution (2017)
1
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (WOMEN LAUGHING) Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Of course, there was never any doubt in my mind that you'd get into Trinity. Oh, Dad. John, look at our amazing daughter. Oh. [MOM] Beauty and talent. [NAOMI] Stop. Yes. (GASPING) And she gets it all from you. (MUMBLING) Oh my goodness, (GASPING). Oh, it's beautiful. Thank you so much. [DAD] You're welcome. You deserve it. (CHUCKLING) (DOORBELL RINGS) So, are you all packed? Yes, all done. Ready for tomorrow night. Good. I'll miss you. (TALKING OVER EACH OTHER) (PHONE RINGING) - Fantastic news. - Thank you, Mum. Eddie! Just some family together. Yeah, I can be there. What, in 10 minutes? Yeah. You okay? See you in a bit. Jimmie! (LAUGHING) Well if you'd come up often I wouldn't have to hug you like this. Congratulations. - Thank you. - I'm really happy for you. When you comin' up London? Uh, tomorrow night. I live near the college, so, we can hang out. I would like that very much. (GLASS CLINKING) I'd like to propose a toast to Naomi. Oh. Well, I am going to have to capture this moment. John, it's going to happen. I'll take it. Thank you. Here's to the next chapter in Naomi's life. May it be filled with health, happiness and everything you desire. Amen. Naomi. Naomi. Come on Dad! (LAUGHING) (CAMERA CLICKING) (LAUGHING) [MOM] Cheers. (SIGHING) (THUNDER RUMBLING) She'll sap straight, you know. I'm glad we got it for her. (CAR STARTING) [MOM] When will your first concert be? [NAOMI] I think it's just before Christmas. That's great. We'll be back for our anniversary trip to Venice. Then hit your concert, and then Christmas. I'll get your father to buy us a new house. (CAR HONKING) (SCREAMING) (CRASHING) (BEEPING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (BEEPING) (SOBBING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Lalalalalala lala Larararam Larararara raram (PHONE RINGING) Ladam dararararadam Ladam dadadam Ladadadam ladadadam Ladadadadadam (HIP HOP MUSIC AND SIRENS IN BACKGROUND) Hey man, how are you doing? Yeah, good. So what's the score? Amber Paris in the place already, we missed it. Damn. Don't bother getting your camera out. I made such a killing, the last photo I had of her as well. I know, man. Let's head up to town. We might get something up there. Let's do that, let's do it.

(LAUGHING) (LIGHT MUSIC) (BIRDS CHIRPING) (SOBBING) [RAPHAEL] This isn't the answer! Stay away from me! You know nothing about me! Just let me die! You don't want that! I just want the torment to end! What you're about to do in this moment affects everything. This world and the next! (SOMBER MUSIC) (CAR HONKING) (GLASS SHATTERING) (LAUGHING) Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. [AUNT ESTHER] Are you going to go, Naomi? [NAOMI] How can I play music when I can't feel anything? I think your mom would want you to move on. I'm ringing to confirm that Naomi Vister will be attending. (WHIMPERING) How many people know of, know what happened? Just the faculty members know about the accidents. The students only know that you'll be arriving late this term. Because of family commitments. The best advice anyone can give to you at this moment is to channel your grief into the music. Now your class is preparing for the end of term concert. We're quite excited this year as the Lord Mayor will be in attendance. And we've put together quite a diverse repertoire for the evening. (CLASSICAL ORCHESTRA MUSIC) Professor Hughes, this is Naomi Vister. Ah, finally. Glad to have you. Everyone. This is our second flute player, Naomi. Please make her feel very welcome. Finally. Another wind. The strings are starting to get cocky. Ah, listen Gus, don't hate the player, hate the game. Gangster Cello, really, Roh? [SARA] The cordos all look the same, don't they? They might have got lost. I'm just gonna say it. Why did you join so late? I just had some family stuff I had to deal with. Ah, family. Can't live with them, can't live without them. No, just can't live with them. (LAUGHING) Don't be fooled by the bravado act. Gustav is a fourth generation Trinity student. Fourth generation? Yes. My father and his father, and his father before him. All here and all playing clarinet. So will my son and his son. [SARA] Well what about you two have a girl? [GUSTAV] That's easy, she'll marry a footballer. (TENSE MUSIC) You know who I am. You turn around and leave! (CREATURE GROWLING) Not here. (BELL RINGING) Don't let your mind get in the circle of dark thoughts. (LIGHT FLUTE MUSIC) Yes. (GASPING) Oh my goodness. (TIRES SCREECHING) (GLASS SHATTERING) (TENSE VIOLIN MUSIC) (CAR HONKING) (CRASHING AND GLASS SHATTERING) Don't let your mind get in the circle of dark thoughts. (TENSE MUSIC) Raphael. Demeteri, how did you get in? Have you been hanging around with these humans for so long that you're starting to think like one? American accent? I speak like those with power. Soon, I'll be speaking Mandarin. Well, lucky China. Did you think I wouldn't find you? I hoped. I've known where you've been for a while now. What do you want? A drink. But this place seems to be dry. There's a bar across the street. Close the door on the way out. Is that how you treat a brother? You can't choose your family. And don't I know it? Why are you here? Others have been coming to me demanding to know why you've been stopping their operations. Now I don't care if you wanna stay here and play music with these glorified apes. But as soon as you actively stop our plans, that is when I need to take action. What plans? [DEMETERI] You forget, brother, there are always plans. In this instance, we had been working on Danny, who as you know is the biggest drug dealer in London. We were using Amber Paris to get to him. [RAPHAEL] I thought I saw Kyber there. [DEMETERI] Yes, Kyber had it all under control and everything was going to plan until you intervened. The demons would have got her soul which would have been the icing on the cake on top of Danny's demise. But she took your oh so helpful advice and the demons got nothing. [RAPHAEL] One less soul for you to torment. I suppose you want the priest dead too. [DEMETERI] Yes, I was rather enjoying tormenting one of God's own anointed. Which should have destroyed Micah's plans for him. [RAPHAEL] Why the girl? She has death all around her. Professor Hughes. [DEMETERI] Who we have been told to target and how I choose to carry out the plan is of no concern to you anymore. Or have you finally come back to your senses and want to rejoin us? [RAPHAEL] What you do disgusts me! How you manipulate the poor, sick and weak to do your own bidding. You claim to be so powerful. Is your boss and feeling demons, tormenting the depressed? Look at you full of self-righteousness. Just helping balance the sides. You think helping these, Humans. They're called humans. Will somehow earn you redemption? You're a disgrace to us. This whole poor conflicted Raphael act is getting out of line. I came here to tell you to back off. There are big changes happening in London. There's a guy called Eddie who's a small time drug dealer, but Kyber can make him the man I need him to be. [RAPHAEL] What could you possibly need from him? [DEMETERI] Don't worry about that. I just need you to leave them alone. Get lost. Hey man, where you going? [JIMMY] I gotta ball. What? Eddie! What you need? I don't want your drugs. I came here to help you. Okay. You don't get it, do you, Eddie? You shouldn't be, Eddie. Look at yourself, you're a mess. Living in a hovel. Hey man. Don't make me get up. (GROWLING) Eddie, you've caught our attention. You know you've got more potential than some low level drug dealer marinating in his own filth. We see you doing big things, Eddie, game changing things. And if you listen to us, the world is yours. Kyber will take care of you, get you cleaned up, Eddie. Who, what hey? Who are you? I'm playing here. (SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE) You some kind of comedian? You some kind of drug dealer? Who are you? [RAPHAEL] Is Kyber still using the old persuasion tricks? Controlling their thoughts through touching them and blowing smoke in their faces? [DEMETERI] Kyber does what I tell him to do. I would rather have my brother at my side. But as you are being a petulant child, I will use my strongest men to get things done. Business is business. How'd you like to pay for your first shipment? [DEMETERI] Over the past few months, Kyber has built up Eddie. Changed his mindset and given him a new crew. So at a time and place of my choosing, he will confront Danny and take control of London. It's quite simple to me. You and your band of halfwits are gonna stop selling Danny Snake's gear. You can't come and tell me what to do. You don't own me. I'm not shutting down your little enterprise. I'm just changing your suppliers. You did well today. I'm no match for Danny. Danny won't know what hit him. He won't expect you to have done this. [RAPHAEL] So what do you want from me? I just want you to stay out of my way. I can't have any more of your interference. And I don't wanna have to worry about you coming around to save the apes. Stay out of our way, Raphael. Close the door on the way out. (SOMBER PIANO MUSIC) [ROHIT] Why are we here? To study. Look around. There are too many of us chasing too few spots. There are not enough horses. What's inspired these cheerful thoughts? (SIGHING) My hands have started shaking. Wanna edge? Very easy. What's this? Do you take these? Shh, don't reveal my secrets in front of Naomi. (LAUGHING) Hey Raph, remember it's my party this Saturday. I won't forget your birthday party. Good, and remember I like big shiny presents. Don't forget we have music theory this afternoon. Listen, how many of these do you take though? (SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE) (CHUCKLING) You two. Very disappointed. Not what I expect from Trinity students. I'm sorry. (LAUGHING) Didn't know you liked opera. My fellow workers used to. Do you wanna get some lunch? I was gonna get a sandwich and I thought if you were hungry, forget it. No. Sure, let's go. (TENSE MUSIC) Raph, you okay? Yeah. I thought I knew that person. Don't you want to stop and say hello? No, no, no. That's one person you don't want to say hello to. I love coming here. It's so peaceful. It's beautiful. Raph, you're not like other people. I want to ask you. Who are you, please? You need to forget about me. Stop wasting time thinking about what you've lost and start living. Promise me this. If you ever see an angel, you run. Sorry, I lost my train of thought. What did you say? [RAPHAEL] You're telling me about how much you're looking forward to Gustav's party. Hard to breathe Boy I come running If we ain't talking If you don't mind I just want you here with me I don't care Sometimes I'm crazy You ain't here I just want you here with me Here with me Want you here with me All my life Here with me Want you here with me All my life I never been this deep in love before What is her problem? I don't know what I've done to that girl. Don't worry about her. Hey, Gustav wants us to go upstairs for a surprise. Are you in? [GUSTAV] Come in, come in. Make yourselves comfy. Sit in a circle on the floor. Got us a little something. Ooh. A Ouija board? Ah listen, we don't have to hold hands, do we 'cause you're my boy and everything else, but I ain't holding your hand. Shut up, Roh. (LAUGHING) We just all touch planchere and ask it a question. Which one of us will die first? It's moving. Going to the letters N, A, No! Raph, what's going on, are you all right? [RAPHAEL] Get out! Get out now! (TENSE MUSIC) [DEMON] You feel those good feelings, Raphael? (GRUNTING) It's too easy, you have no power. They're only filthy demons from down the street, come on then. (BASHING) Pass this message to your master. (DEMON SCREECHING) What are you doing beating up demons on your own? They started it. You've taken up a lot to heal that. Where the hell is Yande? Of course you do. Showoff. So what about that? I'll dispose of it. You're all right though, yeah? - Yeah. - Cool. (SNAPPING) (FIRE CRACKLING) What were you, what was going on in there? [RAPHAEL] I think you've had too much to drink. No I saw, I saw, I forget. How are you getting home? Night bus. No. Come with me. (TENSE MUSIC) (SIGHING) You're not going to tell me what happened in there, are you? What do you think happened? You were getting beaten up by a ghost or something. (CHUCKLING) Or something. Don't mock me. I'm not. But you do know ghosts don't exist. When you die, you either go to heaven or hell. I believe people can choose to stay if they love someone, to still be close to them. People don't get to choose to stay or leave. You just go. There's an order to things. What about people who can still feel the presence of someone who's died near them? It's their imagination. Have you felt something like that? No. When did they die? Four months ago. Well thanks for the lift. Yesterday, you said you could see a darkness in me. What did you mean? I see the same darkness in you that there is in me. Have a good weekend, Naomi. When you die, you either go to heaven or hell. [NAOMI] I believe people can choose to stay if they love someone to still be close to them. [RAPHAEL] People don't get to choose to stay or leave. You just go. (TENSE MUSIC) Eddie. Bloody hell, you cleaned yourself up. What happened? Ambition. I've got the police on me like a nun and a rosary. I see police everywhere. My house, the aunt's house, the cafe. This is the only safe place. Looks like business has been good. Who you getting your gear from? Ronaldo. You getting your gear from Ronaldo? That Italian prig won't even give me any gifts. I doubt he's given it to you. Firstly, he's Spanish, not Italian. And secondly, yeah. He's dealing directly with me now. What are you talking about? Oh, and the police, that's me too. There's a new order in town. You've had your time. You can't come in here and threaten me in my own club. I just did. What do you think you're doing here? Are you challenging me? Challenging you? That would assume that you'd be able to put up a fight. There is an order to things. And you're moving too slowly with the old timer in there. We're waiting... I don't wait, I do. And that's how we get things done. Control your team! You're an animal. (LAUGHING) Try that again, I'll muzzle you myself. Remember your rank. See you around. Good luck with the old timer. Mondi'll be hearing of this. Mondial? (LAUGHING) Who do you think authorized this? Ah, Mr. Davison, could I have a word please? What's the matter? It's your tuition fees, there's been a problem. It's a bit delicate. We do need payment by the end of the month. Right. You'll have it by the end of the month. Okay, good man. Bravo, papa. Just heard of your little stunt. You know what, I don't care. You live your life, I'll live mine. At least now there's no pretense. Consider yourself to have no son. (TENSE MUSIC) Hey Eddie. Yeah it's Gustav. Is that job still on the table? Cool. I'll be around later. (CHAOTIC VIOLIN MUSIC) The room's booked. I know, I forgot my sweater, it's just there. Well don't just stand there, go and get it. Stupid, stupid, stupid. (LIGHT ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) [MICHAEL] Raphael! It's not what you think. What am I thinking? You tell me, Michael. Remember who you are. And especially remember who she is. Everything you do is being watched. (EERIE MUSIC) Show yourself. Raphael's stopped you taking someone. He always tries to stop us. He tries to save them all. But they don't wanna be saved. (LAUGHING) Who's the target? Naomi. The musician. Tell me more about this Naomi girl. (GROANING) (SCREECHING) (PANTING) (GROANING) (SCREAMING) (SCREAMING) (SOMBER MUSIC) (BREATHING HEAVILY) How I long to hear your voice. (SOMBER MUSIC) (INTENSE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) [MR. HUGHES] Focus, Naomi. (TENSE SOMBER MUSIC) (RUMBLING) (BREATHING HEAVILY) Don't do this again! Go get something to eat. (PIANO SOUNDING) (SOMBER MUSIC) Raphael! My arm. Your arm. How did you fix it? Don't know what you're talking about. Look. Come with me and I'll explain. Come in for some tea. Uh, milk and sugar? [RAPHAEL] Yes, and yes. How did you do it? Do what? The scars have gone. If I cut myself again, would you fix it? [RAPHAEL] Don't. (HUMMING) Ah, Aunt Esther. This is Raphael. Get out! Get out of my house! Raphael, wait! Shh. Listen to your aunt. I'm not good for you. (CAR STARTING) Why'd you chase him away? There's something wrong with that boy. I am tired of your craziness. You're being ridiculous. I am entrusted with your care. I am here to protect you. I am an adult! Then act like one! (EERIE MUSIC) Ah, well look who decides to grace us with their presence. I had things to do. What things did you have to do? We are going to the jazz club tonight to get this deal into place. Do I look human? Now answer my question. Just tying up some personal loose ends. There is a way we do things. There is a hierarchy, there is a plan! And I will not accept any changes to the plan. Find him tonight. Make sure that he's with Eddie. (ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC) All right, Jimmy. There you are, mate. [GUSTAV] I'm Gustav. I know. Hey. Look at you, Eddie. Looking good. You've got quite a fan club with those kids. I'm just a likable guy, I suppose. That's what I'm looking for. A likable guy, that's what friends are for. What'd you mean? Join me. Help your friends have fun. What sort of deal are you offering? You keep 60% after you pay for your supplies. [GUSTAV] Okay, what exactly do you need me to do? [EDDIE] I give you some pills and you sell those pills to your friends at your music school. [GUSTAV] Selling drugs to my friends at the college, you don't have anywhere else? [EDDIE] No. [GUSTAV] How much can I realistically make? [EDDIE] Looking at you, two to three thousand a week. I'll think about it and I'll call you. Twinkle, twinkle, little Babylon. Babylon was destroyed. But wasn't it beautiful? You and your angelic herd doing all the fun. You should know by now, all your evil plans are always destroyed. You know what I like most about this spot in London? It shows the true nature of man. Look where we are, the richest spot in London. Now turn around, one of the poorest areas in London. They see each other every day. But does man in his sparkling glittering tower think, today I will help feed my brother? No, he carries on. He orders a drink that costs enough to feed half the block. And these are the people that you want to save? Not I, him. Exactly. You are their servant. No, I serve Yahweh. Have you heard what they say to him? It's private between them. Forgive me. Bless me. Give me, give me, give me! It's all take take take from them. We did nothing of that and what happened to us? We got shoved aside for those glorified apes. Something has rattled your cage today. I haven't heard this rant for a couple of decades. Raphael has been sniffing around some human girl. Naomi? I don't care what it's name is. What I care about is that my brother has lost his mind and for some reason wants the fast train to Tartarus. I'm observing the situation. I'm glad to see you're taking action. It's good talking to you again, Demeteri. I grow weary of this war. No matter what the outcome, I just want it to be over. Just like you have your orders, I have mine. (BIRDS CHIRPING) (EERIE MUSIC) This is not the way, Demeteri. She is innocent. Leave her alone. I have another way, I promise. (BELL TOLLING) There'll be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner that repents than over the 99 righteous who do not need to repent. Luke 15, one of my favorites. How did you know what I was reading? [MICHAEL] I need a favor. [FATHER JOHN] Naomi? Hi. A friend of mine sent me to see you. Is there somewhere we could go and have a chat? I saw you at the recital. The opera singer? You were talking to that boy outside. Do you know him? I know one of his friends, the one that sent me to see you. He's not what he appears to be. What? Do you believe in God? You trying to convert me, priest? No, explain to you what you're getting involved in. Okay, I'll play along. What am I getting involved in? A war. (SCOFFING) Do you believe angels exist? Little babies on clouds, no. Forget what you see on those greeting cards. Angels are God's warriors and messengers. (SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE) Sons of god. They are powerful beings. In heaven, they are like spirits. On earth they take on board human form. We know this as Abraham met with the angels and ate with them. Jesus' mother Mary talked to an angel. There are good angels and there are fallen angels. Before God created us, it was just he and the angels in heaven. Some angels did not want God to create humans. And they rebelled against God and fell. These fallen angels have made it their mission to destroy us. Look here. And I will put enmity between you and the woman. And between your seed and her seed. He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel. This right here is where the war begun. Good against evil. Angel against humans. Angel against angel. What are they fighting for? Us. God loves us. How does any of this relate to me? You're getting too close to these angels and there's a danger in doing that. Stay away from this Raphael. What kind of angel is Raphael? You'll have to ask him. Why do you pity this defeated rebel? He isn't like the others. No, he's worse. At least with the others we know what they're going to do next. With him we have no idea. When did you last hear his voice? 20 minutes ago. Raphael hasn't heard his voice in thousands of years. That for me is the real hell. (SNIFFING) You are cloaked in fear. I do not fear you. I don't care what you think of me. Time to go. You're scared of one of them. Kyber is out of control. No one is safe around him. All the more reason why we need to restrain him. Kyber will get his comeuppance. Just not today. Have you taken that human girl yet? Of course not. Litte Raphael, scared of Tartarus. And you aren't? Unlike you, I don't fear, I cause fear. Do you miss it? Miss what? His voice. [KYBER] Never. You don't believe. I do believe. I just don't care. (TENSE MUSIC) (SOFT VIOLIN MUSIC) (DOORBELL RINGING) I need some answers. Who are you? Who do you think I am? Would you stop answering a question with another question? Beni Ilim, an angel. So it's true. You are an angel. The priest was right. What did the priest tell you? He said there were good angels and fallen angels. Which one are you? I'm fallen. When we got to earth, we quickly formed into battalions. All angels have ranks and hierarchy. So we're used to following orders but working in units. Each battalion is assigned to a commander who would relay our orders to us as given by the prince of a geographic area. These princes get their orders from Lucifer. We were galvanized and united by one purpose, to destroy the human race. We needed to show God that he made a mistake by choosing them over us. We watched you, analyzed you. We found out your strengths and weaknesses. We found out how to bring about your demise. We gave you the tools and knowledge of how to destroy yourselves. We taught you how to fight. Just as we have a hierarchy, we saw that you were still ought to be ordered in this way. Started to work within that system. We infiltrated, corrupted every empire, every system. Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, Britain. The great empires. We successfully corrupted people through vice, false religion, debauchery and greed. We concocted potions. The key to our success was showing you how to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh by taking away another soul's freedom and humanity. We controlled you by using your own emotions against you. We used to receive our power from God and our original purpose, worship. So we needed an alternative power source which we found through consuming alcohol and being around sin. The more sin you committed, the more powerful we became. But although we got power, it did not get renewed. Things started to take their toll. Fractured between me and the rest of the unit started widening. Just like you, we also have emotions. We can also be jealous and have hatred. But I didn't realize the hatred that one of my units had for me. Jealous of my closeness with my brother. No matter what he did to please my brother, he always knew he could not oust me from his favor. We would implement the orders given to us without question. As I watch them celebrate the destruction of this family, I knew I could not do this anymore. I can no longer steal, kill and destroy. So I left. Got as far away as I could. I kept moving. Avoiding them. Making sure I was never in the same city as them. But as the world got older, it got smaller. With travel and new technologies, hiding became harder. I soon realized if I didn't have lots of power, it's harder for them to detect me. So I drunk very little, avoided sin. It makes me weak. But weakness protects me. Why are you hiding in a music school? Music is a form of worship. It's close to my original purpose. Music's my way of finding peace. I channel everything into it. I chose a music school because it's the last place my brother'd think to look for me. Don't angels have wings? This is futile. You have no future with me. Let me take you home. No. I can get back by myself! Look at these fools. They rebelled because they fell in love with their glorified apes. And now their ape women have aged and they want to come back. The only place that they are going is Tartarus. Tartarus? He has created a new part of hell. The deepest, darkest part for those angels that lie with those glorified apes! (SPITTING) Never forget that. That is the one thing that is forbidden for us. I can't think of anything worse than having to touch one of them. And you keep thinking that. Tartarus is the only place in this universe that scares me. They're taking them to Tartarus? Any minute now. And I for one, don't wanna witness that. (BREATHING HEAVILY) Are you looking at porn? Psyche revives Cupid. Yeah, renaissance statues. Wash people porn. I'm joking. I like mildly erotic statues too. Oh man, you two are so gonna, Haven't seen much of you recently. I'm busy with work stuff. You rehearsing much? Don't have the time. You're looking tired. Nah, I'm super mad. What's really going on? Nothing I can't handle. (PHONE RINGING) Dammit, I'm late. I've got to meet some people for lunch. You sure don't sound too happy about that. It's just work. You don't have to go if you don't want to. Trust me, if I don't go, I'll never hear the end of it. (SIGHING) Psyche was a princess in ancient Greece who fell in love with Cupid. Cupid knew the dangers of being with her so he never revealed his face. Until one day, she discovered who he was. He disappeared. She looked for him. Cupid's mother Venus hated her. To punish her for daring to fall in love with her immortal son, tortured her with impossible tasks for a human, almost killing her with a spell. Until Cupid saved her. Cupid didn't save her. Just revived her for more torture. But the story's just mythology. It's not real. It's a beautiful story. Can't you see their union only brought pain for the girl? No, what I see in that story is two people finding each other and falling in love. Two people that should have never been together because it was forbidden. If you want to be with me, then be with me. You can give me your answer at the end of term ball. Shouldn't you be with Demeteri? Weak. What do you want? You to die. But since that's an impossibility, I want you to leave the boy alone. Gustav? Stop whispering gratitude into his ear. I'm offering the boy a choice. This is not a discussion. Leave the boy alone, stop disrupting our plans or once and for all I'll finish what I started in Rome. (COUGHING) How's your girlfriend? Leave her alone. Maybe I'll show her what a real angel looks like. (GROANING) Oh yeah, by the way. Sleep with that girl, Tartarus is waiting. Who would have thought it? Music man is our biggest seller. I'm impressed. You paid off your tuition fees. Dropped the cash off this morning and asked them to send the receipt to my father. That's balls. Underestimated you. Did you hear that? That's as close as you're ever gonna get to his seal of approval. You didn't tell me we were having lunch. This is some nice place, Eddie. Over a seat (MUMBLE) how nice this place was. Looking good, Gustav. What are you doing? What? Did I invite you? How did you even know about this? Kyber told me. Jimmy, have you ever wondered why I didn't want you here? I wasn't invited. No. If I'd have want you here, I would have picked up the phone and I would have called you. Did I call you? No. Look at you, you're a joke. You're pathetic, a loser. A punch on, get him out of my sight. What are you looking at? We've been friends for over 20 years. What do you want, a medal? Oh I get it. You want a severance package. You want some money. There you go. Take your money and get out! (CHAIR CRASHING) Well what are you looking at? You got your show! (TENSE MUSIC) What are you doing with Jimmy? Jimmy is a joke. You need to stop acting like a petulant child. Remember our plan. We have orders. And these orders are non-negotiable. I have to answer to people about your actions. (YAWNING) Remember your rank. You may outrank me. But I'm more powerful than you could ever be! (SNIFFING) Just as weak as your brother. Kyber, shut up! Demeteri, let's go. [PROFESSOR] On your very first day, this'll be your very first day, whether you're teaching musicians or non musicians, if you tell them what jazz is about now. Of course there are vines putting on sheets of music, but the main thing you want to get across is that secure sense of what jazz is about now. For me, as your professor, jazz is a musical expression of freedom. Check him for a wire. Touch me, and that's the last thing you do before I kill you. I haven't got all day to stand here watching you two discuss your favorite color. Jimmy! What the hell? You have lost. Go home. That Danny's pushed me too far! There's only so much anyone can take! He killed my best friend! He'd rue the day he messed with me! I find him, I'll grind him, I'll crush him into small pieces! Crush him! (GLASS SHATTERING) (SOMBER PIANO MUSIC) If I cut myself again, would you fix it? [RAPHAEL] Don't. I'm not gonna do this anymore. (ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC) Hi! Oh, you look beautiful! Of course! Hey Naomi, looking lovely. Ah, so the lone ranger has returned. He's not here. Who? I think we all know who you're looking for. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Raphael! Raphael! What are you doing?! I don't care anymore. You can send me to spend eternity in Tartarus in chains. Why make me love her if I cannot touch her?! You're not supposed to fall in love with them! Rafaim, Emin, Horis, Ansuni, Araba, Anakhim, each one of these tribes of the nephilim our father vanquished for a reason! These mutants, these nephilim, they are not part of the divine plan! [RAPHAEL] You forget, I rebelled against the plan, remember? You rebelled against nothing. You blindly followed your brother. And that is the one thing, the one thing keeping you from the lake. How did you know what was gonna happen between Naomi and I? He sent us. He still knows my name? Of course he does. Listen. The atmosphere is changing with Eddie and Gustav. Demeteri and Kyber are up to something. That's what we need to sort out. And this was just a gentle warning so leave Naomi alone. My dad's a right piece of work. Nothing's ever good enough for him. Family's more hassle than they're worth. You made tuition on your own, nobody can take that away from you. Listen. My old man used to beat me and my sister. Used to beat us black and blue. So I start weight training so I can fend off the old man. Get myself stronger. But I still had to take the beatings. 'Cause if I don't, she'll get it worse. What did you do? My dad comes in tanked up as usual, starts hitting me. So I let him beat me till he gets tired. He goes up to the sofa. And I pull out a baseball bat that I hid under the sofa the night before. I take the bat. (SNORTING) Mmmm. No. [EDDIE] And that's why we've gotta see Danny tonight. I'm not letting him get away with what he did to Jimmy. (TENSE MUSIC) (GUN FIRING) (GUN FIRING) (GUN FIRING) (HEARTBEAT PULSING) (SIRENS SOUNDING AND RADIO CHATTER) We have entrusted our brother Gustav to God's mercy. And we now commit his body to the ground. Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. In sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ, we will transform our frail bodies that they may be conformed to his glorious body who died, was buried and rose again for us. To him be glory forever, amen. Amen. (SOMBER MUSIC) (SIGHING) I had hoped not to attend another funeral for a long time. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) [RAPHAEL] You don't understand! I have to be with her! I love her. You need to stop this. There must be another way. Even if it's not consummated. Come on, you know better than that. Kyber is with Naomi. Hi, Aunt Esther. No, I haven't found Jimmy yet. I'll keep looking. Try to stay calm, I'm sure he's fine. I love you too. (SIGHING) (KYBER GROWLING) (WHIMPERING) Weak, fragile, pathetic human. Who are you? Know your place, you don't speak to me unless I tell you to. You're nothing, you're human. If I am nothing, then why am I redeemed? (SCREAMING) Why is he so fascinated by you? (BASHING) (GROWLING) We will deal with him. He's lost his mind. (LAUGHING) Far from it. I've awakened. Look at me. Look at me! I'm meant to be us than them. I'll roll all of you! We've got our orders from Mondial. Mondial, he's nothing. I'll destroy him too. And you, pathetic excuse for an angel. I'll destroy you first. [DEMETERI] Tartarus guard. Oh Kyber. What is that? They're coming to take you to Tartarus. Tartarus, no. What did I do? 'Cause with Eddie and Danny dead, you ruined Mondial's plans in London. And as I told you before, we cannot deviate from the plan. Tartarus? They're for fools like him who take the ape women. Mondial's on the prince's counsel. He can do as he likes. They will chain you up and leave you outside Tartarus till the war is over. I will not go. I will not go! The war is soon coming to an end. I need you to remember who you are and whose side you're on. What have you done? Your parents asked me to protect you. Even if that means protecting you from yourself. And with Jimmy gone god knows where, you are all I have left. You had no right to do this. Light in our darkness, we beseech thee oh lord. And by the greatness of thy mercy defend us from the perils and dangers of this night. For the love of thy holy son, our savior Jesus Christ. (SOLEMN MUSIC) Hi. How are you? There were too many thoughts in my head. I can't give you the answers you need. But I know who can. Ask and he will guide you. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (ENERGY SOUNDING) (INTENSE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) (CROWD APPLAUDING) You were amazing, Naomi. I am so proud of you. Thank you so much, thank you. Naomi, can I have a word please? Yes. [MR. HUGHES] The office told me that you are transferring to Eastman. May I ask why? [NAOMI] It's near some family, it has a good program, so many complicated reasons. And is there nothing we could do to change your mind then? Sorry. Okay. Good luck. (SIGHING) You're leaving. You know I have to. I don't care about Tartarus. I do. This, what we're doing. It's not right. I've read about the monsters, giants that were created from this happening. Goliath, Anakim, Refaim. Nephilim. I know that we can't have a full relationship. But we can still be together. I've never had to say goodbye before. Then don't. You know this can't be. It's not his plan. He has shown you. Yes. You're gonna get on that plane, go to New York and have a great life. I'll always be here for you. (SOMBER MUSIC) (THUNDER RUMBLING) (TENSE MUSIC) (SCREAMING AND GRUNTING) (TENSE PIANO MUSIC) |
