Children of Sorrow Page #5

---

Don't you find

that hard to watch?

If it troubles you,

why didn't you stop it?

I've asked myself that

and I don't know why.

Should I have stopped it?

I don't know what

I'm doing here anymore.

He was right.

She was alone.

And I was too busy all the time.

I didn't listen to her.

Not at all.

She would try and tell me things

and I know it's too

late for her, but...

I decided to

stay and help Leach.

If he made her feel better,

maybe he'll do the same for me.

Come.

I'm ready.

You sure?

Yes, Father.

I wanna feel what she felt.

You're unhappy, aren't you?

This is a

special night, my children.

Yes, Father.

Our last member

has expelled the fear in her

heart and she shall join us.

Yes, Father.

Are you ready to join us?

Yes, Father.

Can I share a story with you?

So I'm 18 years old, right?

And I get a girl pregnant.

And it's complicated by the

fact that we're in love.

And her mama didn't like it,

and my mama didn't like it

so we were cast out

on our own, you know.

I took a job at the burger joint,

mowed lawns on the weekends.

A few months go by, she goes into

labor and she loses the baby.

And I lose her.

They had to cut her open

and bled too much.

There was nothing

they could do, you know.

It was over real quick.

So what do you do

when the worst thing,

the worst thing you can possibly

imagine, actually happens?

What do you do?

We're always going through life

and we're just getting by.

And doing what they're told to do,

but you don't have to do that.

You can do what you want

and you can be happy.

Is everyone ready for

our next transition?

Yes, Father.

Brother Frank.

Hi, Father.

Mary, if you would.

Brother Frank...

Yes, Father.

You've done all

that you can so far.

You've purged

the poison from your soul.

He knows that

you're here to serve him.

He doesn't want to lose you

to the other side.

He knows the pain

that you've suffered.

It's time to take the first

step toward forgiveness.

Are you ready

for your moment of revelation?

Yes, Father.

My brother,

go in peace.

I love you, Father.

Mary, the lights.

I love you, my son.

I love you, Father.

Children,

set him free.

Our father,

thou art in Heaven.

We will honor and remember

your moment of revelation.

We will honor and remember

your moment of revelation.

We will honor and remember

your moment of revelation.

Now who will be

next to make the transition?

Draw well,

my brothers and sisters.

What an honor it would be.

Brother Ben.

Yes?

Brother Alan.

Sister Robin.

She's next.

Why are you crying

on your day of joy?

I'm sorry.

I believed in you.

I believed in you

when no one else would.

I'm just scared.

And all that

I've asked in return

is that you have

a little faith in me.

Sister Robin has

pierced my soul.

Is there not one who has faith?

Is there not one

who has faith in me?

Sister?

Father. I have faith.

Lovest thou me?

Do you love me?

I love you, Father.

Do you love me

more than this one?

Yes.

Do you love me more than her?

Yes.

I shall show you faith.

I shall show you

faith and you shall see.

I don't f***ing care!

I said, on your knees!

Get down on your f***ing knees!

And you f***ing stay there!

You understand me?

Do you understand me?

I don't care what

you f***ing thought.

Get up! Get up!

Open the f***ing gate!

Get the f*** out of here!

Run, b*tch!

Stay there!

Robin wasn't

worthy of her moment.

She lost her transition

to the outside world.

When I was a kid,

I found this puppy.

But my timing was off.

See, Mama was bad to drink, she

wasn't studying no puppy that day.

Mama was studying teaching me

how to tie my shoes.

I'd been trying it maybe six

months, but I couldn't get it.

No matter how I tried,

I couldn't get it.

She took Phil and she

hung him outside the window.

She told me I had 30 seconds.

I tried.

God, I tried.

His head cracked

open like an egg.

Whose fault was it?

It was mine.

'Cause I wasn't strong enough

to keep him safe.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

Mary!

Mary!

You said they were

all under control!

That son of a b*tch is gonna go

to the police and you know it.

It's comin'.

I'll get them in the big room.

I'm finally happy

for the first time.

For the first time, I feel like

I'm finally home.

You know what I

wanna be remembered as?

As someone who finally said

what they thought.

Like, I feel...

It's warm and it's...

It's so wonderful.

Do you trust me

more than your blood family?

Yes, Father.

Have you thought

about your own moment?

I just...

I just think

about the better place

and I trust

the transition to you.

I wanna feel that pain.

I want it to happen now.

Dear God,

could you be more perfect?

I know you won't understand.

I know what you'll think.

I want you to know I love you.

I want you to know

it's not your fault.

But you never could have made

me as happy as I am now.

Because of me,

because of who I am.

And I'll always think of you.

Perfection.

I'm nervous,

but in a good way.

Like Christmas.

Are you afraid?

No.

Do you have any last words?

I just wanna thank you

for all you taught me.

Because of you,

I'm now clear and free.

I don't feel alone anymore.

And I don't fear death.

I want everyone that follows me

to know that I

feel your love inside.

I'm joining my new family now.

My new home.

We'll all be waiting for you.

You love me?

Yes.

Will you always love me?

Yes.

...are shadows.

...are shadows.

We let the shadows go.

We let the shadows go.

Gently.

Gently.

Classic cast.

Perfect number to begin with.

Just like you're sayin', baby,

not too many, not too few.

'Cause they gotta be able to be

close enough to

smell each other's fear

and feel each other come.

I love it when you say that.

We got Frank.

Now, he's a lamb to the slaughter.

Nobody knows what's happenin'.

Audience don't

know what to trust. Bam!

Brian.

Ben.

Amen!

I mean, they're nice enough

but nobody really gives a sh*t

if they live or die, right?

Then we get to the real meat.

Alan and Evan,

my star-crossed lovers.

We have Grace, my space cadet,

looking for the moon.

Get in here.

Shoot it, shoot it.

Ready? Ready? You ready?

Let's go. Let's go,

huh? I'm gonna go again.

Hold that, hold that, hold that.

We have Robin, my wallflower,

waiting for Prince Charming.

We have Veronica, my redhead.

She's thrown in just

to spice things up.

We have Ellen.

That Ellen may be

the girl of my dreams.

Are you ready to transition?

Yes, Father.

Are you afraid?

No, Father.

Let her have the gun.

What?

Give it to her.

Why?

Let her do it herself.

Mary!

Now do as we said.

Good girl.

Good girl.

What now?

Just like Janet.

I love you, Father.

Look, it's real simple.

Here's the zoom.

In. Zoom out is right there.

Here's your focus. You see?

Just keep it on auto focus.

A lot easier.

Frame me up here.

Don't get my profile, okay?

Just always three-quarters.

Right, don't zoom in unless I tell you to.
