Fallen Page #4

talks about demons...

...and how they move by touch.

Walk away, Mr. Hobbes.

-Say again?

-If you enjoy your life...

...if there's even one human being

you care about, don't take this case.

It's out of my hands, Miss Milano.

I mean, it's my job.

'Bye, Mr. Hobbes.

That's it?

Yeah, I'm afraid so.

-Fax.

-Thanks.

Phone company sent MUDs and LUDs

for Noons' and Muskavich's apartments.

See those calls there?

They were made right around

the time they were killed.

You're saying the killer called me

from the crime scene?

Sure looks like it.

-Reese used to call me at night.

-Reese is dead.

Whoever's doing this

is in league with Reese...

...or was imitating Reese.

I know he's still calling my house.

How many times have I got to change

my phone number?

The more you change it, the more it looks

like someone on the inside.

Like a cop?

Yeah.

It's nothing to me...

...but the egos upstairs....

-You hear me?

-Both ears.

I'm going to lose my sense of humor.

What've you got?

A translation from the Aramaic:

"I can't enter you by touch.

"But even when I can get inside you,

after I'm spirit, I won't.

"I'll f*** you up and down, left and right."

That's in the Bible.

"lf that doesn't work, I have other ways."

We need a translation of the translation.

Anything else?

No, I'm okay. Thanks.

I like the night.

The street.

The smells.

The sense of another world.

Sometimes you come

face to face with yourself.

Now...

...put that card back in.

-Anywhere.

-All right.

-Tell me when to stop, okay?

-Okay.

Can you pronounce it for me again?

Okay, Professor, I think I got it.

All right...'bye.

I can get inside you.

After I'm spirit, I won't.

No.

Better I get you for real.

F*** you...

...up, down, left, right, coming, going....

I'll get so close to you...

...so close it breaks you.

And if that doesn't work...

...well, I have other ways.

I have so many...

...many ways.

Right.

Fifteen minutes.

Hi. Can I help you?

You're releasing a Richard Suckle?

-He called a cab.

-I'll have him brought right down.

-Looking good today.

-Thanks.

Rap sheet on Bobby Stiggers.

Thank you.

Hobbesy, tell me something.

Shoot.

The other day you were

in the basement reading an old file.

What about it?

Looked like a map in there.

Are you going somewhere?

I went up to the country.

It's great to get out of town.

Lovely. Fresh air, you know?

I used to do that. Go up to a house

in the mountains and sit by the water.

It was beautiful.

So I'm curious. Where'd you go?

Why do you ask?

Come here.

Come here.

Come on, come here.

"Time

"Is on my side

"Yes, it is

"Time

"Is on my side

"Yes, it is"

-Lou?

-What?

"You're always saying

"That you want to be free

"But I'll come running back"

Why were you singing that song?

-Song?

-Why were you singing that song?

I was singing?

Did they put you up to this?

Why did you sing that song?

What're you talking about?

-You don't know what I'm talking about?

-No, I don't.

You don't know what I'm talking about?

Hey, you!

Syrian Aramaic.

How clever.

Jesus.

It's true what I said.

I do know who you are.

Azazel.

Where'd you get that?

From Milano's place?

You found something up there.

Well, some things, pal, you shouldn't know.

Like what?

Like what?

If you know, you should never, ever tell.

Beware of my wrath.

Well?

What were you doing back then?

-What are you talking about?

-You were singing.

No.

-I wasn't singing.

-You were.

Lawrence and Mike were singing

some '60s thing.

There you go.

I wasn't singing it. I hated the f***ing '60s.

I wasn't singing.

I appreciate your situation, okay?

I really do.

Your father, mother, they're dead,

their lives were ruined, your life's ruined.

I'm very sorry about that.

But I gotta know what's going on.

If this thing is what it seems to be...

...if this thing is what the book says

that it is, then....

Is this for real? Do you believe this stuff?

I believe more is hidden than is seen.

I believe what I see. I'm trying to get

my mind around what I just saw.

Something...

...threatened me.

Reese threatened me in Aramaic.

What else did Reese say?

I'm asking the questions here.

You answer the questions I ask.

Because if I don't know what's going on--

We're not supposed to know.

We're not supposed to see.

It's like the Mafia. They don't even exist.

Okay...okay.

That's good. That's a start.

They don't even exist.

So where are they from?

Who the hell are they?

There are certain phenomena...

...which can only be explained

if there is a god...

...and if there are angels.

And there are. They exist.

Some angels were cast down. A few

were punished by being deprived of form.

They can only survive in the bodies

of others. It's inside of us.

Inside of human beings,

their vengeance is played out.

That's it?

Come on, get out of here.

Come on.

I mean....

Miss Milano, I'm just a cop, okay?

I'm a detective.

My work is based upon evidence, facts.

Mine, too. Mine, too.

Aren't your facts here

rather resistant to normal interpretation?

So you're saying that...

...Edgar Reese is actually--

At the time you knew him,

he was not himself.

-He was Azazel?

-Yes, Azazel.

Sadistic, left-handed, likes to sing.

Reese? Why does he focus in on me?

You got his attention.

He tried to get inside you.

He shook your hand. That didn't work,

so now he'll try to find some other way.

Like he did with your father?

How do we fight him? Is it possible?

I believe it is. And I'm not alone.

There's a network. I don't even know

who they are. I just have numbers.

These people know the--

We believe that God limited demons

and made them mortal.

He put a few of us here to fight them.

Us? Us who?

Who, us?

You're saying I'm one of these people?

I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not.

You're just doing your job.

Okay.

Touch.

So these demons are mortal?

They can be killed?

-By the right person.

-Who is?

This is religion, Mr. Hobbes.

These are matters of fate and divine order.

The right man--

-Or woman.

-Yes.

It could be you, me, anybody?

The right person of the right character

with the right knowledge....

So, this is what you've been doing.

You've been preparing for this,

haven't you?

Can I ask you something personal?

Everything's personal if you're a person.

Is this why you live alone?

There's a difference between

risking for yourself and someone else.

That's true.

I mean...

...if I had someone, I'd want to share

my life and thoughts, and work with them.

If I shared this, I'd put them at risk

and I don't have that right.

You can talk to me.

You don't have to. I'm not saying that....

I'm not, you know....

Do whatever you want to do. I'm just

saying you can talk to me if you want.

Thanks.

That's a very nice thing to say.

I've got to go.

I hope I've been helpful.

-Thanks for listening.

-Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I was about to tap you on the shoulder.

You're a friend of John Hobbes, right?
