- That we're like...

- Like brothers?

Goodbye, Hugo.

See you in Hell.

[door opens, closes]

[gate buzzer buzzing]

[screams]

[phone ringing]

Redding.

What?

Thanks.

[Loca in voice-over]

Suddenly I'm engulfed in light.

My skin peels off like a snake.

My muscles float away.

And all that's left is my bones.

Vines covered in orange

and blue flowers...

twist in spiral patterns across

my skull and through my ribs.

My eyes are red roses.

And I'm floating...

seeing the reflection of myself.

Then what happens?

Nothing really.

I just float...

and then I wake up.

What do you think it means?

It's a reminder...

that when it happens,

there's nothing to fear.

You can't stop what's coming.

And for that instant,

you're a soul...

and you're finally free

to become one with God.

I don't really believe in God.

Call it whatever you want...

but He's playing all around us.

I have a dream sometimes, too.

But it's different.

In mine...

my hands are covered

in this sticky black tar.

Like Venom.

- The comic book character.

- [giggles]

- The alien from Spider-Man?

- Exactly.

- Oh.

- Just like that.

This black stuff...

gets on everything I touch.

All over my clothes...

my skin...

So I go find a sink, right?

And I scrub,

and lather up with soap...

but it never comes clean.

It's obvious.

What?

The blood in your hands.

A man trying

to wash away his sins.

Nah.

That's a cop-out.

Plus, I haven't

told you how it ends.

So, after a while...

I just stop trying

to wash it away.

I don't give up.

I just diffuse the power

it has over me

by realizing there's nothing

I can do to change it.

Once I do that...

it disappears.

So, actually, it's the opposite.

By surrendering, I set myself

free from the guilt.

Because I know

that carrying it around

is my choice...

and will infect

anything I touch.

That's not what

the dream is about.

[chuckles] Listen, Loca.

I know someday my past is gonna

come knocking, just like yours did.

I know everyone I hurt...

was somebody's son...

somebody's brother...

father...

best friend.

But I'm comfortable with that.

I have to be.

Because it never happens

how or when you expect it to.

I can live with the blackness...

just look past it.

That's why I'm still here.

That's why I'm the boss.

Now, when you look past it...

what do you see?

Simple.

I see this beautiful and

dangerous life we've been given.

["Starlight" by Don Diablo

& Matt Nash playing]

Starlight

Look at us shine

Could you be mine

Could you be mine

White lies

Watching the skies

Could you be mine

Could you be mine

Don't go wasting your time

Don't go losing your mind

Starlight

Look at us shine

Could you be mine

Could you be mine

Look at us, could you be

Could you be mine

Look at us

Look at us

Look at us

Could you be mine

Look at us

Look at us

Look at us, could you be

Could you be mine

Starlight

Look at us shine

Could you be mine

Could you be mine

White lies

Watching the skies

Could you be mine

Could you be mine

Don't go wasting your time

Don't go...

[Loca in voice-over]

They say revenge is a pendulum,

set in motion by those

who seek justice...

its weight measured in grief,

and force determined by blood.

It never stops...

until one day it lands on you...

or someone you love...

and then, you have

to make a choice.

["Starlight" resumes]

Look at us

Look at us

Look at us

Could you be mine

Look at us

Look at us

Look at us, could you be

Could you be mine

[mouths]

Bang.
