Fallen Page #6

Maybe if you figure it out...

...you die.

Heart attack, stroke.

You figure out what's what...

...you don't get to hang around anymore.

You get promoted.

Meanwhile, Delores...

...says we're put here to do one thing.

One thing?

What's that?

It's different. It's different for everybody.

Hers is lasagna.

Lasagna?

And just one thing, not two or...?

Maybe two, I don't know.

It's just her opinion.

But it's like...

...when a moment comes...

...we either do the right thing...

...or wrong.

When do you know

when your moment comes?

So, like this could be it for me?

That's the beauty. You never know.

-Hello?

-John?

Is that you?

Hi. I just wanted to see if you were okay.

I'll call you back. I'll call you later.

That was the killer.

We'll arrange things later.

I'm going home.

Yeah, f*** it.

I killed someone.

He got me to kill an innocent man.

I know.

What do they want, Gretta?

Just tell me what they want.

The demons?

They want the fall of civilization.

"The fall of Babylon, " as they put it.

-The whole thing?

-Yeah.

They're doing a good job, aren't they?

You know, after I shot the teacher...

...Azazel moved to someone else.

Are you sure? After death?

I'm positive. After death. Yeah, I saw it.

Listen to this.

I was looking through

one of your father's books...

...and it says "outside"...

I guess that means outside the body.

"Outside, they can survive

for one breath only. "

A Hebrew text says that the breath

can carry them for 500 cubits.

I never knew what it meant.

A cubit, that's a distance

or something, right?

From your elbow to your fingertips.

So 500 cubits would be what?

About a sixth of a mile?

Yeah, well, you're right then.

They are limited in certain ways.

What are you thinking?

I don't know.

I don't know. Are you okay?

Yeah.

All right. Well, then...

...maybe I'll check up on you tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night.

Good morning, Sam.

Good morning, Sam.

Oh, hi, Uncle John.

Oh, hi.

-Thanks for tucking me in last night.

-You're welcome.

We sent Michael Aaron to the scene...

...where he'll be ready with a live report

shortly. We'll be right back.

Were you asleep when I tucked you in?

I don't know. All I remember

was somebody tickling me.

Tickling my chest.

Why'd you write that?

-Where's your father?

-In the bedroom.

He's a sleepyhead.

If you watched the national news

just last week...

...you might have seen

a similar case in Boston...

...of a decorated cop accused of murder.

Hello?

Have you seen the news?

The cop was shooting first.

And he kept on shooting.

Lou's coming to get you.

He'll bring you down

for more conversation.

-Lou?

-No.

-They get him yet?

-No. Not yet.

I gotta go.

Here. Put these clothes on.

Get dressed right away.

-Why?

-Just do what I tell you, please!

Are you ready?

Almost. What's going on here?

We're just going to play

a little trick on somebody.

Cool.

We're going out the window.

What about my dad?

He's sleeping. He's still asleep.

-Excuse me, Sister. How're you doing?

-Good.

Good.

Does "apocalypse" mean anything to you?

Sure it does.

"Apocalypse" was the Greek word

for "revelation."

"Revelation"?

-You mean like the book of the Bible?

-Yes.

Revelation.

All right. Thank you.

Pack of cigarettes.

-Any special kind?

-No, any kind.

Okay, out of five.

Detective Hobbes?

Sir, you forgot your change.

Detective Hobbes.

I want to talk to you.

Go, Sam. Run! Down the stairs,

down the stairs! Go!

All units in the area--

Why don't you close that coat up?

Cigarettes?

I thought you quit.

I thought they were bad for you.

I did quit and they are bad for you.

You know what's going on?

The police think that I did some bad things.

-You are the police.

-Not anymore.

Why do they think you did that?

Because....

Because somebody...

...made it look like I did.

I once saw that on a show.

I want to talk to you

about something else, too.

About your dad.

He's not asleep, is he?

No, son. He's not asleep.

Did it hurt?

I don't think so.

-Do you think he's gonna go to Heaven?

-Yes.

Yes, I do.

If anybody deserves to go to Heaven,

it's your dad.

I think so, too.

We've got no place else to go.

This is my nephew, Sam.

Okay. Hi, Sam.

Nice to meet you. I'm Gretta.

You're in your pajamas.

I wasn't expecting company,

but I'm glad you're here.

Why don't you go over there

by the fireplace and get warm.

Azazel wrote on his chest.

Unless I do something--

I'll get you a coffee.

Thank you.

I think I got my mind

around this thing now, but let me...

...let me run this by you, okay?

After the host body dies...

...the demon can survive

for one breath or 500 cubits, right?

At the same time...

...Azazel says to me when he moves

as spirit no man can resist.

So someone he can't get into by touch,

he can still get into by spirit.

Because, if when he's in spirit form...

...he's fighting for his life,

he's going to be that much more powerful.

Please tell me what you're going to do.

Whatever I do...

...I have to make sure

that you and Sam are safe.

Will you take him somewhere...

...nobody knows about?

Even me.

Listen....

I gotta go.

You're gonna stay with Gretta

for a little while.

Maybe for a long while.

And I want you to remember this:

Whatever people say about me...

...or whatever I do...

...I just want you to remember

that I'm doing it for you.

Because I love you.

You understand?

I'm gonna go back to sleep...

...and when I wake up

everything is gonna be just the way it was.

Thank you.

You know what this means, right?

I'm ready.

Hey, Jonesy, how're you doing?

Look, I'm worried, man.

What are you gonna do?

Where are you gonna go?

I'm going nowhere.

I'm taking a long drive...

...where nobody will find me...

...and sit by the water and think.

I gotta ask you something.

Yeah, shoot.

We've been partners a long time.

Twelve plus, Jonesy. Twelve plus.

So, is there anything you gotta tell me?

Yeah, remember what

we were talking about the other night?

When the moment comes...

...you know it.

Be careful, okay?

I'll see you, partner.

Yeah, you too.

Be good.

You're probably wondering:

What am I doing?

This is where things get a little tricky.

It's just him and me now.

Hobbes versus Azazel.

I thought I had him.

But he thought he had me, too.

Come on out.

I know you're here.

I knew you'd come.

Haven't you done enough?

You made me kill an innocent man. You...

...murdered my brother!

Come out, you son of a b*tch!

How much more fun can you have!

Jesus, Hobbes.

What are you talking about?

I didn't do any of that.

Me, I'm the poor schmo

they sent up here to bring you in.

So it's you now.

It's me.

Who'd you expect it'd be?

Now drop your gun, Hobbes.

I know you've got one.

Or what?

You'll shoot me?

Where is the fun in that?

F*** you, huh?

You're making me do this.

Now, drop the goddamn gun.

Do what he says, Hobbes.

Jonesy?

Who else is out here, huh?
