Midnight Mass Page #5

if they have some.

You got it.

I never was into violence

too much.

I always preferred

reason to force.

Kind of hard to reason

with the undead.

Are you gonna try

to shoot them all?

No.

And the Vichy,

what happens

to those kids?

We'll see.

You're planning

Custer's Last Stand?

More like the Alamo.

Same result.

You ready to die, Joe?

What the f***?

Hey, motherf***er,

did you do all this?

Mick, what are you

doing here?

F*** off.

Is this the real you?

No...

to live forever,

wasn't that it?

Stay young,

beautiful,

or die.

Old and tired

and sick,

like your mother.

Dead in the ground.

Shut up!

You go tell Palmeri

I'm waiting for him.

Go tell him

that Father Cahill is back.

Priest.

You don't look like no priest.

Tell him Father Joe

is back and he's pissed.

You got tell him that.

Get out of here while you still can.

( screaming )

Father Joe is back

and he is pissed.

I like that.

We'll make it into a bumper sticker

if we survive the night.

Nice throw.

I never like him anyway.

( screaming )

( in demonic voice )

Why?

I've spent my entire life

surrounded by crosses.

Why can't I even glance

at one now?

Wow.

Now you look like

the old Father Joe.

It's so good to have you back,

Father Joe.

This may just be the most unusual

mass in history.

You do understand, don't you,

that this was all on short notice?

Does-

is this gonna work, Father?

I don't know.

I just need enough time

for the consecration.

Then we'll know.

Before he was given

up to death,

a death he freely accepted,

he took bread

and gave You thanks.

( growling )

He broke the bread

and said

to his disciples,

"Take this, all of you

and eat it.

This is my body

which will be given up for you. "

When supper was ended,

he took the cup

and again gave You

thanks and praise.

He gave the cup

to his disciples and said-

- ( crash )

- He gave the cup

to his disciples and said,

"Take this, all of you

and drink from it.

This is the cup of my blood.

The blood of the new everlasting-"

Stop them!

"It will be shed for you and for all,

that your sins may be forgiven.

Do this in memory of me. "

( growling )

Welcome home,

Joseph.

Joe:
Get out

of my church.

Your church?

Times have changed

my friend.

Your savior

has forsaken you.

Your world has died.

And your church

belongs to me,

where I am a God.

No one will be flocking

to Father Joe

once his entrails are draped

along my church walls.

You've already fallen

from the pedestal.

Your loyal parishes

so quickly placed you on.

Do you actually believe

you could rise above me again?

Not much of a climb

where a pedophile's concerned.

I know it was you.

( demonic voice )

We all have appetites.

Do you honestly think

if you were one of us

you could resist

the hunger?

( growling )

Do you hold yourself so high

above all others

as to say you never

succumb to your desires?

By dawn you'll be drained.

We'll each have

a go at you.

Never again will you know

how it feels

to bask in the warm glow

of the sun.

And when night comes,

you shall be that

which you despise most.

And you'll feed.

Oh, how you'll feed

that first night.

An indescribable hunger

that can't be sated.

I was saying mass.

Do you mind if I finish?

Did you think you could celebrate

mass on this?

That you could effect

a transubstantiation here?

Do you really believe

any of that?

The wine and host

taking on the substance of-

the son's body and blood?

Transubstantiation?

You mean

this is His blood?

I've always wanted to drink

the blood of a deity.

( growling )

( screaming )

What happened here?

Carl:

It's a miracle.

A miracle and a meltdown.

It's all true.

It was all,

always true.

( footsteps approaching )

Daddy!

Welcome to Fright Night.

I have always

wanted to say that.

- Hello, lover.

- Get out of my way.

Absolutely.

Wouldn't want to hold you up from helping

that bastard priest ruin everything.

What are you thinking?

I'm not going to let you

ruin everything.

You may have changed

your plans,

( mockingly )

thank God,

had a religious awakening-

Whatever!

- but you're not going

to f*** up my plans.

( grunting )

I still love you.

You know that.

When you had no one else,

after your mother abandoned you,

you had me,

your pillar of strength.

Did you have a daddy?

Where is he now?

Wasn't that him running

out just now,

leaving you here to die?

You can come back to me.

You can live forever.

( distorted )

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up, Joseph.

You were having

a nightmare.

That's it, Joe.

Wake up!

We're all waiting for you.

It's your birthday today.

The day you were born

to darkness.

Why are you continuing

to fight us?

Even if you chase

us out of here for good,

what would you

have accomplished?

The world is ours now.

Feeders and cattle.

That is the hierarchy.

And tonight you'll join us.

But she won't!

Palmeri:

All is lost, Joseph.

Soon she'll be dead!

And you'll be immortal.

Your savior

has forsaken you.

Your lone parishioner is dead.

Left you and his daughter to us.

I will not be like you.

I won't allow it.

Joseph, there's no choice.

You should just kill me now.

If I'm forced to become one of you,

I'll be doing it with one thing in mind-

finding you.

And when I do,

I won't stake your heart.

I'll stake your arms and your legs

to Casino Pier

so you can watch

the sun come up.

When it's over,

you'll thank me.

You'll wonder why

you ever resisted.

You better be sure

'cause I'll have eternity

to track you down.

Don't think an empty threat

is going to cow me.

We'll see, won't we?

You let her go now.

I'll let you be.

( demonic voice )

Kill her!

Now!

( screaming )

No, no, no!

( screams )

Yes!

Too bad, Alberto.

I told you I wouldn't let

you down, didn't I Father?

Yes, yes you did,

Carl.

I told them.

I ran through the parish

going house to house

of anybody that was left.

I told them Father Joe

was in trouble

and this time we ain't gonna

let him down.

Then they started going

house to house.

And the next thing you know,

we had a nice little army.

F***ing drama queen.

Sweetie, where are you?

Are you in here?

Oh, there you are.

Come on out now.

Everything's gonna be fine.

( screaming )

Gwen:

About f***ing time.

It's not over yet, b*tch!

- Joseph!

- What do you want?

- A trade.

- Me for her.

- Naturally.

- Don't you f***ing dare, Joe.

Quiet, pig,

or I'll snap your spine.

- All right.

- You can't.

It'll be okay.

Joe!

Stay back!

Give it up, b*tch.

It's over.

He's going to lose.

No.

Oh, I'm afraid so.

Pity you won't live

long enough to watch

your precious

Father Joe die.

Joe, get the f***

out of here.

Get out of here,

Joe!

Hello, Joseph.

Get out of here, Joe.

He's gonna kill us both.

I hope you're not going

to try anything foolish.

No more heroics.

No tricks!

No tricks.

Just let her go.

Let her go?

That was the deal,

wasn't it?

Please, Alberto,

just let her go.
