36 Saints Page #3

Yeah, you know him?

Uh, yeah.

The guy's been in and out of

here more times than any of us.

Are you kidding me?

Lieutenant told me that they

already released him, though.

I mean, but the guy's

out of his mind, right?

Are you kidding me?

The guy's a complete nut job.

Complete nut job.

Why?

Because he said some

things that, I just...

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

You guys are not telling you

believe anything this guy

Says, are you?

What?

Why?

W-what did he say?

He said that she pushed

him down the steps.

Hm.

And that she was here.

That Joe had to kill her

before the others died.

Oh, come on... come on.

Fanny, listen.

Have you ever heard

of Lamed Vovniks?

The Lamed who?

Lamed Vovniks.

No, no.

Fanny, two people in

this picture are dead.

Okay.

What I want you to do is

make a copy and keep one for

Yourself so then...

Then maybe you could

do a search, you know?

Find out who these

other kids are.

Yeah.

You guys are really serious

about this aren't you?

Alright I'm...

Fanny.

What?

Forgetting something?

Oh, thank you.

What would I do without you?

I've been thinking a lot

about our assignment.

What assignment?

Okafor's class.

The garden of Eden.

Oh yeah, right.

What about it?

I want to show you something.

Watch this.

According to the

alphabet of Ben Sira.

Ben Sira?

Lilith, not Eve, was the

real first wife of Adam.

She was created at the same

time and from the same earth

As him.

After she refused to become

subservient to him, Lilith

Left the garden of Eden

and set out on a path of

Destruction and chaos, killing

anyone or anything that got in

Her way.

Lilith is commonly referred

to in ancient mythology as the

Female demon who is

portrayed as the foe of Eve.

You scared me.

Uh, we were just looking at

some very interesting stuff on

The Internet.

Of what?

About the real first woman in

the world and how because she

Wasn't subservient to man, she

was cast out of the garden of

Eden and now runs around

creating trouble and chaos for

Everyone she meets.

Was, was her name Joan?

Boy, please!

It's not even a real story.

It's just a

mythological story.

Uh huh.

So are you ready to go?

Yo.

Sammy?

Yo?

Hey hey!

Oh!

Yo!

Well if it ain't

Saint Dominic himself.

Hey Sam.

You are the coolest, Dom.

I'm not the coolest.

You're the coolest,

about that man.

Always getting something free.

Night.

She's beautiful man.

Beautiful, yo.

her for a long time.

Yeah, I've been knowing her

ever since she quit school.

Yo, you ready for this?

You know what her name is?

D.

D?

D.

Short for Delilah.

Get it?

Sam, short for Samson?

D, short for Delilah?

Samson and Delilah?

Okay, alright.

You know, a lot of people joke

around, think it's stupid, you

Know, because it's exactly

like that in the Bible.

I take that seriously, man.

You know, serendipity.

Well, I'm happy for you Sam.

Dom, I've been knowing her

for a long time ever since she

Quit school.

You know, she got

her beauty license.

Yo, she used to date this dude

from back in the day, and she

Had a set of twins, and then

she had another set of twins

From another dude the

very next year too.

Two, right?

Get it?

She sounds, she sounds,

she sounds great.

Yo man, so you gonna work your

magic, get us into the club

Tomorrow night?

Hey, no problem buddy.

And it's going to be

a special night, too.

I can't wait to meet her.

Yo, tomorrow night.

The deity!

Samson and Delilah!

Alright man.

Hoo hoo!

Dom...

Oog!

Dominic.

Woo!

Worshipers of club deity.

Make some noise!

I said worshipers of club

deity, make some noise!

So, tomorrow night, in

observance of the accident

Last year in Montreal, the

students of the academy of the

Royals will be holding a

memorial to honor all 27 lost

That night.

Therefore, our doors will open

a little late tomorrow night.

Simmer down!

Our doors will open at 10

pm, followed by a memorial at

10:
15.

The exact time of

last year's tragedy.

In lieu of a cover, we ask

that you be as generous as

Your means will allow

and make a donation.

A donation to a scholarship

fund we are establishing for a

Chosen kid from the

neighborhood to attend the

Academy of the

royals next year.

Make some noise for that!

Amen!

And our DJ for the evening

will be none other than

Academy of the royals'

very own DJ Valentine.

DJ Valentine!

Ah!

They really took it out, baby.

Yow!

Now, now where's Dominic?

Um, I don't know.

He hasn't arrived yet.

Make sure he's on time

tomorrow night, okay?

Alright, will do.

We're going to need his help.

Forgive me father,

for I have sinned.

I have betrayed both father

Esteban and Jesus Ochova.

Forgive me father, for I have

sinned.

I have betrayed

the innocent blood.

Michael!

Hey Michael, come

check this out.

Relax, guys. It's just me.

Watch your step.

I'm so sorry about

father Neri, Joseph.

I came over here because I

gotta show you something.

So listen, Joseph.

Yesterday you were telling me

about punches telling you that

Somebody pushed somebody

down the steps, right?

That somebody turned out

to be a Dominic Savio.

A student at the

academy of royals.

What's that burning?

Yeah, I got it.

Wow, what is this?

Joseph.

W-when I looked at the picture

that you left me yesterday...

That's Dominic, right there.

Dominic...

Alright.

Saint Dominic or...

Saint Stephen, a protomartyr,

was stoned to death.

Like father Esteban

in the subway.

Let me see...

Saint Maria Valentine.

Joan.

Four, five, six, seven, eight.

There's eight saints here.

Eight plus 27 is...

Damn.

I thought it'd be 36.

There's gotta be

something else.

Take a look at this, huh?

Here.

Was it really an accident?

Oh my God.

It's...

Out of what?

It's Jesus Christ

on the cross.

It's Jesus Ochoa!

Fanny, we got to

find the other kids.

Okay.

Their names are Eve,

Sebastian, Joan, Valentine,

Maria, and...

Joseph.

Let's get to the steps.

Oh my God.

Oh, Ms. El, do you

live around here?

Uh, close.

Oh my God.

Split shifts at the hotel

this morning so I can make the

Event tonight.

We're having it at the

deity for the crash victims.

Oh, it's tonight?

Yeah, we have a memorial at

exactly 10:
15, and then a

Celebration afterwards.

Oh, how nice.

Yeah, I'm lucky Mohammed

switched my shifts.

You know I'm on work-study

there for hospitality, right?

Well, I didn't know.

Well how great for you.

Yeah, they start us out at a

small, struggling hotel and

We work our way up

to park Avenue, so...

Ms. El, you should

definitely come tonight.
