End Of Days Page #3

Christ!

Well, it's official. I'm never

sleeping again, ever. You okay?

A guy cuts words into his chest.

Someone else nails him to the ceiling.

What's not okay?

So where we going?

The girl. I gotta talk to

her, find out what she knows.

Wait. We don't have

a name. That would help.

Maybe we do. Maybe it's

not "Christ in New York. "

Maybe it's, "Chris in New

York," "Christine in New York. "

"Christine York. " Let's run a D.M.V. Check

and find out if any of those names come up.

Hello, Christine York.

Sometimes you border

on competent.

I know. It's scary, isn't it?

Christine?

Mabel called. She'd like you to

get dressed and join her for lunch.

Grazie, Carson.

Ahhh! Goddamn it,

get off me!

Go downstairs and watch

the front door! Please!

Help! There is no sanctuary but heaven.

You must go there now.

- What are you doing?

- I commend you to Almighty God and entrust you...

At what point

is this considered...

interfering with

a police investigation?

Hey, we are private citizens having

a conversation with another citizen.

I mean, I don't think they've found a

way to outlaw that. At least not yet.

Please! No!

May you return

to Him who formed...

Go down there. Do whatever you can. I

need more time to finish the last rites.

May Christ, the true shepherd...

Help! Stairs.

Covered.

Help!

May you see

your redeemer...

...forever, amen.

Son of a b*tch!

You all right?

Yeah. Check the body

down the stairs.

What body?

Call the police,

and get an ambulance.

Take it easy.

We're the good guys.

All right?

What happened?

Carson. Those men... Th-Those men...

They tried to kill me.

Why?

Eight jets, variable speed.

That's what I call dying in style.

What kind of girl lives in

a house like this, anyway?

Oh, she's an orphan.

Both parents deceased.

After the mother died, the

home nurse married the father.

Now the nurse is

the sole guardian.

I think it's adorable the

way you talk like a real cop.

Yeah? So you think after they

clean up this mess, we could...

Don't tempt me. Soak a little?

They relax me. You want

one? Oh, no, thanks. I drink.

My little girl had one

just like it. Really?

Mm-hmm. Yeah? You snoop through

her stuff without asking too?

When I was looking

for something.

What are you

looking for?

A connection.

Most days, I don't feel

connected to anyone.

I noticed a lot

of religious books outside.

Mm. They're

my stepmother's.

- Is she a big believer?

- No, not really.

It's mostly just kind of

like a hobby with her.

Do you know a priest by

the name of Thomas Aquinas?

No. Is that

your connection, religion?

I've seen a lot

of attempted murders,

but I've never seen anyone

perform the last rites before.

Christine? In here!

Are you all right? Oh, my God,

I just heard what happened!

Did they

hurt you?

I'm okay, but Carson...

I know. Oh.

I'm just so glad you

came along when you did.

Thanks.

I didn't realize you knew where the

library was, let alone had a card.

Well, there's a lot

about me you don't know.

They're right outside.

You must

bring her. He is waiting for her.

No, that's impossible! They'll

follow me and find the temple!

I couldn't convince her to come here.

Yuck! Then I shall

have to go to her.

Did I mention

I had a date tonight?

Not just the inflatable

kind. A real live girl.

Did you break up

with the inflatable one?

Yeah. She was

just too needy.

Everything

was about her.

It's just that this is starting

to feel a lot like work.

Normally, I wouldn't mind

work because, well, you know,

we'd be

getting paid.

Watching rich people for free.

It just seems odd, doesn't it?

Okay, I'll wait here.

- Change your mind about the pill?

- I found something.

Christine, what are you

doing? Why is that man here?

I'll be

five minutes.

She loves me to death, but she's

a little overprotective.

I took this from one

of your attackers.

Did you show that to the police? No.

If I did, it would end up in a plastic

envelope on one of their large shelves.

That's pretty cynical. Well, I've

put a few of those envelopes...

up on that

large shelf myself.

I used to be a cop.

Now, this amulet

is from a Masonic order...

in a former sub-herald

of the Vatican knights.

The Knights of the Holy See.

They await the return

of the Dark Angel to Earth.

So, the men that attacked

me are devil worshippers?

No. This says

they're the good guys.

They're the ones that are supposed

to stop the devil worshippers.

Those were the good guys? What

does that have to do with me?

I'm sorry. I have

a medical condition.

- Sometimes I see things that aren't there.

- No. I saw it too.

I've been having visions

ever since I can remember,

but I've never

shared one before.

There must be

an explanation.

I hope so. I've been waiting

all my life to hear it.

Let's get out of here! Come on!

You're not going anywhere.

- What are you doing?

- There's no time to discuss this.

After all these years of waiting, it's

finally happening. What's happening?

You can't run away now!

- Stop

it! - Let her go! - No!

Don't you love me?

Didn't I give you

everything?

Haven't I been a mother to you?

- Christine. You know who I am.

- Oh, no.

- I've come for you.

- Let's go. Come on.

You only had one simple job,

and you couldn't even do that.

Hey, Marge? Marge, over

here! We need your help!

Easy with the hardware.

Jesus, Marge!

What the f***?

It's okay, Jer.

Wejust want the girl.

Okay, tell me. What the hell

is going on here? I don't know.

I don't believe you.

- All right. I'm coming out.

- Throw out the gun.

Please don't don't

leave me here. Please!

Hands on your head.

- What?

- Hands on your head. Now!

What do you want

with her, Marge? Huh?

- Why is she so important?

- Just the girl. You can kill him.

Come on!

Quickly!

You, I don't need.

But you...

Call your people.

Find them.

Over here.

Goddamn it!

Get up!

Come on. Get up!

My best friend is dead. Everyone is

trying to kill us. I just shot two cops.

Why is everyone after you? I don't know.

I swear. I don't know.

Why is this happening?

I know it's my fault.

I just don't know why.

That man on the stairs,

what do you know about him?

Nothing. Come on. I saw your face.

You recognized him.

I don't talk about it.

Tell me. I need to know.

I've seen him before...

in my dreams.

- In your dreams?

- They're... They're nightmares really.

He takes me, and...

and he makes love to me.

I've been making love

to him my whole life.

I thought I was crazy, but he

was never real before tonight.

Oh, he's real.

I've seen him before.

- I'm afraid.

- Don't be afraid. I won't let him do any harm to you.

I'm afraid of me. I'm afraid that

if I see him, if he tries to take me,

I'm gonna

want him to.

Let's go!

Where we going? To get some answers.

You don't need that. You have no enemies here.

I'm not so sure about that. This

girl was just attacked by your people.

- Your Vatican knights almost killed her!
