- Come on. You know what's in your heart.

We're on the same side. I'm not

on your side, and I never will be.

You're on His side? He's

the one who took away your family.

Let me tell you

something about Him.

He is the biggest underachiever

of all time.

He just had a good publicist, that's all.

Something good happens: "It's His will. "

Something bad happens:

"He moves in mysterious ways. "

You take that... that overblown

press kit they call the Bible.

You look for the answer in

there, what do they tell you?

"Sh*t happens. " Please.

He treated you like garbage.

You walked away.

I'm not the bad guy.

What about the End of Days?

Think of it

as a new beginning.

A change of management. And you'll be

right there with me on the ground floor.

It will be

so cool.

Tell me what you want.

Tell me what you really want,

and I'll give it to you.

I'll tell you

what I want.

I want you

to go to hell.

You see,

sometimes the problem is...

Hell...

Comes to you!

Don't f*** up the coat.

I've wasted

too much time on this.

You see those insignificant little

dots down there? Huh? Do you see them?

That's what you mean to me.

Now, give me the girl!

Not today.

Look down.

Now, look in your heart and

tell me you don't want to die.

All you got to do

is take my hand.

And I'll give you

back everything that He took away.

- Come on.

- Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

F***... you!

Hey.

Hey!

- I thought you were dead.

- Couple of seconds, I would've been.

All I remember is steppin' out of the

van, then I woke up in the f***ing gutter.

What the hell are you doing

here? What are you talking about?

I've been lookin' for you all

night. What the hell happened to you?

- Hey. Hey. Hey.

- I can't trust you.

I don't know how much you had to drink,

okay, but let's not point the gun at me?

I just need to know.

You need to know what?

That you are you. Of course I'm me!

What the hell are you talking about?

You took his body.

All right. You're ill.

Okay? You need some help. All right?

Oh, f***!

Jesus!

- F***.

- You're bleeding.

Of course I'm bleeding!

You f***in' shot me!

I just needed to find

out! You found out, okay?

Stop being such a p*ssy! It's

just a scratch. P*ssy? Come on!

Oh, Christ.

Does it hurt?

What do you think?

Jesus.

What the hell's the matter

with you? What's going on here?

I can't explain it.

I shouldn't have left

her alone like that.

I should be with her.

Tell me what to do.

I gotta get back there.

Got to get her as far

away from him as I can.

Okay, we'll leave town. You

get her. I'll get a Striker car.

Just tell me

where to meet you.

St. John's Church...

in one hour.

How much longer, Father?

Well, he has to sire his child between

So, we must keep you hidden

until that hour passes.

We've come to help.

Your Eminence.

In this hour of darkness,

we need all the help we can get.

How's the girl? The girl's fine. Thanks.

No.

No. Father! Father, they're

the ones who tried to kill me!

- No!

- Your Eminence, what are you doing?

We cannot allow this union

to take place. No! No.

Please! You can't! You mustn't!

- Let go!

- She is only one life.

How many lives are you prepared

to end if we do nothing?

- That's not who we are.

- Of course it is.

We are doing God's work. We

are preventing the End of Days.

But you can't prevent evil

by doing evil.

- There is no time!

- No! -

- It's the only way.

- No-o-o!

May God forgive us!

Amen. -

I can do this all day long.

Now, let her go.

You must let us finish.

If she is slain, his hope of creating

a kingdom on Earth dies with her.

- Her death is God's will.

- It's not God's will.

It's your will, and it will

lead to our destruction. Jericho.

She must be removed.

It's the only way to defeat him.

For a thousand years,

we prepared ourselves for this.

We're not afraid to die. Good.

Because I'm not afraid to kill you.

Let her go.

Go. Go.

Get out of here.

Go!

God help us.

We're too late.

- I've come for my wife.

- Let's go.

This is the house of the Lord, our

God, and you are not welcome here.

I can stand the pain of being in

church. How much pain can you bear?

Christine!

Come to me.

I am the one

you've been waiting for.

I am the answer

to your prayers.

In the name of God,

I order you to leave here now!

May the wrath of God destroy...

A thousand years you have waited for

my return. And behold, you have failed.

And with your last breath you shall

bear witness to the End of Days.

No! Jericho!

Get in the car!

Run!

Jesus! Come on!

Bobby, what the hell are you

doing?

What are you doing?

Open the door! Open up!

- Come on! Open up!

- Open the door!

Jer... Please, stop the car! Please!

Jer!

Jer!

You should

have taken my offer.

At least you would have

been happy once in your life.

Let her go,

or I'll kill you.

Ooh, so much anger,

so much hatred.

You're almost there.

I'm gonna hurt you so bad,

you're gonna beg to die.

But I'm not gonna let you.

It's not gonna be that easy.

You're mine, and I want you

to see what's gonna happen.

World religious

leaders have asked their followers...

to prepare for the new millennium

not with celebrating and partying...

but rather with acts

of kindness, compassion...

This is it, New York.

The last day of the first 2,000 years.

- How long have I been out?

- You almost slept the whole day.

You're lucky to be alive.

The time?

It's almost 7:
00.

It's not too late.

He has the girl.

But it's not too late.

In nomine Patris,

et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Jesus, what did you

do? Get hit by a truck?

No, the truck missed me.

Where the hell are you

goin'? Doing my job.

You

know, the cops are after you.

They have to wait.

I've got to do something.

That son of a b*tch.

Yes. You wish entrance?

You have much hatred

and vengeance in your heart.

You may pass.

Angelus obscurus.

Princeps finis dierum.

You know

this is what you want.

Angelus obscurus.

You can't resist, can you?

'Cause you don't want to.

I didn't come here to hurt you.

I came here to love you.

Relax.

Give yourself to me.

- No one move, or I kill the girl.

- What are you doing?

- Trust me.

- You're not gonna kill her.

You said it yourself.

I have a dark heart.

- Then stand with me.

- I'll tell you what.

You let us both out of here,

and I'll stand wherever you want.

- Step back, or I'll pull the trigger.

- I didn't want to kill you.

But now you

leave me no choice.

Let her go, Jer.

Oh, don't look at me

like that.

You'd be amazed what you

agree to when you're on fire.

Don't do it, Bobby.

You're better than this.

- You're better than him.

- You know, considering how you've lived your life,

when this is all over, what makes you

think you're going upstairs anyways, huh?

Come on, Jer. This is the

main event. It's gonna happen.

- Why shouldn't you have the best seats in the house?

- You will never get a shot off,

and you know it.

Don't do it.

Bobby.
