[DRAMATIC SOUNDS & MUSIC]

[ROARING AND PANTING]

[PUNCHES]

Give up, Cain. Your

order has been dissolved,

your temples' sacked, your

brothers burned at the stake.

You're less welcome

in this world than I.

Then we'll burn

in hell together.

Go ahead, destroy this body.

I'll find a thousand

more to hunt you down.

We're in the emptiest

of wastelands...

No one around to possess.

And I'm not feeling merciful.

[DEMONS ROARING]

Rest in peace.

Well?

So what's in the case?

A book.

What kind of book?

An old one.

How old?

How the hell should I know.

Look, do we have a deal or not?

That's only half the money.

You get the other half

when you finish the job.

How do I know this

is not a setup?

If this was a setup we

wouldn't have told you

we were cops Detective before

we hired you to kill somebody.

Maybe you guys are

just being tricky.

Once I take the cash you could

whip out your cuffs and say

"hey, we told you we

were cops, dumb ass."

It doesn't work that way.

Why not?

Because ... Because no

one would be stupid enough

to fall for something like

that.

Okay, look. I'm sure you've

already hacked our database

Perish the thought so you know

we've lost thirty undercover

officers to this... cult?

More like a crime syndicate.

Whatever, the point is

thirty cops, thirty.

And at least half of

them have switched sides.

F***ing switched sides!

It's...

it's beyond embarrassing.

It's totally f***ed up.

Totally.

Totally.

We can't afford to

lose any more cops.

But you can afford

to pay my rate.

So last week's big drug

bust wasn't quite as big

as we first reported.

This is LA, skimming

money ispractically

standard operating procedure.

So how do I get inside?

Their boss, someone

named Samael.

Samael?

What in the hell

kinda name is that?

I don't know, Middle Eastern?

Sounds like a queer.

Don't know that either,

and don't want to.

You know that could be the

reason Rodriguez jumped ship.

Point is he paid as

hit load of money

to have this shipped

over from Jerusalem.

Girls are a lot hotter in

Tel Aviv. Half as hit load.

The other halfupon d e livery.

My half?

That's between you

and a pile of bodies.

We've got there al

courier locked up

so god damned tight even

immigration doesn't

know he's in country.

So all you've got to do

is walk in with the case

and start shooting.

Hmm...

Simple.

I like it.

So who do you want me to

kill besides the queer?

All of 'em. Everybody.

Even your own guys?

They're not our guys anymore.

Fine. Deal.

Kill 'em all,

that's, my motto anyway.

One question ...

Considering how many of your

own

people you've lost,

how do you know

I won't betray you too?

Because you're a god

damned mercenary,

all you care about is money.

All about the money, yeah,

that's my other motto.

So what's the deal?

Usual. They pay us a lot of

money, we kill a lot of people.

Typical, same damn

thing even when we're

workin' for the good guys.

They're cops, who said

they were good guys?

Better than us.

It's all about

living the good life,

everything else is

a waste of time.

Jesus, Max, you never change.

Thank God for small blessings.

Alright. So how

many people's a lot?

Call George. Tell him

to bring everything.

Fine, but I have a bad

feeling about this.

You get a bad feeling

about every job I take.

Yeah, but I have are ally bad

feeling about this one.

Carmen, relax. It's

gonna be a cake walk.

Alright, but I hope you at

least got an advance this time.

You wound me.

This is madness,

Hiroshi. Your own family

Means nothing t o me anymore.

After a life time?

You have no idea what a

life time really is, boy.

I know what it isn't ,

and so do the assassins

they've probably already sent.

Good, they can take this

wretched body home in a box.

Is that why you've betrayed

us so late in life,

a chance to die on your feet?

You don't have to

kill me for that.

Kill you?

Not when you've got so

many years of suffering ahead.

Relax Tetsuro!

It will be easier for you.

Much better.

That thing was

half dead before I took it.

Now I know why he betrayed

his own organization...

along with the rest of you.

Then you know too much.

You only make us stronger, Ryu.

Good, maybe you'll be able

to put up a real fight.

No good can come of this,

cooperating with the beast.

It might release him

from his suffering.

Death would release him.

And release it in to the world.

No, better to wait for Cain.

So that it has an ally?

This is madness.

No, not an ally. They hate

him as much as you do.

Only because he's free to walk

the earth and they are not.

Otherwise he's more like

one of them than one of us.

You don't know that.

Don't I? Ordinary

men age and die.

I never said he was ordinary.

Cain?

I thank you for...

For heeding our summons.

Hellfire.

Afraid of me, little brother?

Only the taint of your sin.

Don't worry, it's no

worse than your own.

We...we tried to help, but

it's powerful, it refutes us.

Does it have a name?

Beelzebub.

The lord of the flies?

You know him?

I know of him.

And he knows of you.

He asked for you by name.

Then let's not keep him

waiting.

Cain. Finally. I was growing

tired of these simpering monks

and their useless prayers.

You know me?

Through the wayward minions

you have returned to my domain

and all the dark souls

you've sent to join them.

What do you want?

To strike a bargain.

I don't bargain with your kind.

You will when it

spares your own.

Besides, you owe me a boon.

For what?

Filling your kingdom

with the weak and the

worthless?

For threatening to empty it

through your own

foolish pride.

What game are you

trying to play?

Not me, Legion.

So they plan on carving out

their own little kingdom

in hell by taking yours.

Taking mine yes,

but the kingdom

they carve is not in hell.

And so we have a

bargain, you and I.

How did they escape?

Escape? No need. They had

nothing to escape from.

I slew the last of their hosts

in the emptiest wasteland.

No one around to possess.

Not around or above, but

you forgot to look below.

You marched off in victory

while the worms beneath your

feet laughed at every step.

Worms. ..

From swine to fish

to man again,

and back to worms

when you left them

nowhere else to go.

They've trod the

Earth since the Fall,

did you really think

banishing them

would be so easy?

No, my kingdom is at stake

and so is your world,

because of what you

have left undone.

You speak the truth.

More of them than you know.

So you see the bargain

is simple.

I help myself by helping you.

Where are they?

Where else would a host

of the fallen roost?

The city of angels.

If you're lying...

You'll know where to find me.

Oh God . . .

Please... help me.

About time you two got here.

Traffic.

Whatever.

It'll wrinkle the jacket.

Remember what happened last

time you turned down a vest.

That was bad luck.

Bad luck?! It's a God damned

miracle they brought you back.
