Is the world going to come to an end at exactly 12.:01 on New Year's, or--
[ Radio Show Host ]I'll tell you what. You should play it safe,
not quit your job just yet.
Tell you something else.: in two more nights,
this place is gonna see the wildest party ever.
We're gonna be there with the first hundred callers, we're gonna make the most noise,
and we're gonna be the craziest, and if the world comes to an end,
what the hell, we're all gonna be together!
And if it doesn't, and I don't think it will,
then we'll all have the best time anybody has ever had.

Anyone special ?
No, just some Wall Street scumbag.
Why the hell does he need all this protection ?
Well, I guess he fucked with some people...
that didn't like being fucked with.
Personally, I like scumbags. They pay better.

It's a nice day to jump out of a helicopter.
Well, just doing my job.
Now, listen. Something I gotta ask you.
- [ Jer ] Yeah, what is it ? - You still drinking ?
[ Bobby ] Oh, yeah, we got all liquored up this morning.
- We start every day that way. - I'm just reading his statement.
- You said here the guy spoke to you. - Yeah. So what ?
The guy doesn't have a tongue.
- What ? - He has no tongue ?
Why don't I just leave that little detail out for now.
- No big deal, right ? - Are you saying that I imagined all this ?
- No, I'm just saying. - I saved a life today.
- What the hell did you do ? - All right, let it go.
- No, no. I know what I heard. - All right.
[ Marge ] Those people who don't belong here, get them out of here.
Make sure this place is secure.
[ No Audible Dialog ]
A drunk hangs out in a neighborhood bar, passes out enough times,

I have seen the horror to come. Is it a sin to wish you were never born ?
The thousand years have ended.
Twenty... seven."
It ends in a football score. That's nice.
[ Jer ] Hey, I found something.
Can you see what it is ?
His tongue.
He must have cut it out himself.
Okay. And why is it someone would cut out their own tongue ?
- To keep from talking. - Right.
Well, I could eat.
- [ Screeching ] - Ah !
- Shit ! - What ?
All right, I knew that was gonna happen.
No, it's all right.
There's something in here.
- Have you ever seen her before ? - Nah.
[ Jer ] This guy is no ordinary hitman.
No, this one's extraordinary.
Let's get the hell outta here. This place is making me itch.
- Drop it ! Don't move ! Don't move ! Freeze ! - Don't move ! Freeze !
Oh. It's us.
Jesus ! How the hell did you two find this place ?
Lucky guess. So what did you find out ?
His name's Thomas Aquinas. He's a priest.
Why don't you tell us something we don't know ?
- A homicidal priest. That's good. - Yeah ? Well, it gets better.
He studied at the Vatican. He was one of their alleged visionaries.
Came here in '81 to St. John's Church downtown.
Six months ago, he disappeared.
Priests there say he was having a spiritual crisis.
Oh, yeah. That's what this is about.
- Spiritual crisis. - Doesn't make any sense.
What's a priest doing shooting at a Wall Street banker?
A Wall Street banker, by the way, who suddenly disappeared.
Maybe we should ask the girl.
What girl ?
- Uh, the guy. The guy. Priest guy. - [ Jer Clears Throat ]
[ Jer ] There's five million women living in New York City.
How we gonna find her without a name ?
Here.
Look, I already gave you some money. Can you just move on, please ?
He's coming for you. He's coming for you, Christine.
How do you know my name ?
He's gonna fuck you. He's gonna fuck you, Christine. Can you see him ?
- [ Chuckles ] Can you see him ? - Who are you ?

[ Phone Ringing ] Doctor's office.
Hello. Is Dr. Abel in, please ?
- Who's calling, please ? - It's Christine York.
Christine, listen to me. We've been over this before.
It's a terrible thing to lose your parents. I know it was a long time ago.
The holidays always make something like that feel much worse.
Understand, these dreams are your creation. There's nothing real about them.
You control them. They don't control you.
Take another Xanax to relieve your anxiety.
You are fine. Trust me.
Another vision ? Why didn't you tell me ?
- I didn't want you to worry. - I'm your stepmother. It's my job to worry.
No big deal, really.
Just someone on the subway car turned into porcelain and shattered.
What's wrong with me ? Why do I see things ? Why am I so different ?
Oh, you don't know how special you are.
You're better than everybody else. Just remember that.
I don't want to be better or worse. I want to be normal.
- I want a normal life. - You have to have patience.
All good things will come to you. You'll see.
- Oh, excuse me. - I'm sorry, we're closed.
I would like to talk to you about Thomas Aquinas.
- Father, please, I need you downstairs. -Just take these.
- Father, please. - Go.
I've already told the police. Thomas was a friend of mine and a colleague.
He had nothing to do with what happened today.
There was no one else on that fire escape.
- You don't understand. - I understand getting shot at, and I don't like it.
- He shot at you ? - No, he shot at my client.
- I happened to get in the way. - Who's your client ?
That's irrelevant right now. What I want to know is why would a priest try to kill someone ?
You've been drinking. I've got 14 years sober, and I can spot that.
Well, good for you. Your friend and colleague, was he working for someone ?
Yes, he was working for God.
So God ordered a hit on an investment banker ?
There's a lot that you don't know. You think you've seen everything ?
You haven't. There are things you never dreamed of.
There's another world out there. Thomas saw it, and it destroyed him.
I've seen a lot too, but there's nothing that would make me cut my tongue out.
- Yeah, well, wait a few days. - What happens in a few days ?
Did Thomas tell you about a girl ?
- No. - I see. Do you believe in God ?
Maybe once, but not any more.
What happened ?
We had a difference of opinion.
I thought that my wife and daughter should live, and He felt otherwise.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss. Maybe it's time for you to renew your faith.
This girl.
Is she in trouble ? Does she need help ?
- I have a lot of things to do here. Excuse me. - Excuse me.
- I have more questions, if you don't mind. - I've got a question for you.
If you don't believe in God, how can you understand his adversary ?
Now I have to believe in God in order to solve a crime ?
I'm sure that you can find your way out.
[ Woman Chanting ]
[ Chanting Continues ]
[ Chanting ]
- How many have received the stigmata ? - She's the third this week.
[ Screaming ]
- What is she saying ? - For your own good, get out and forget what you've seen !
- Was Thomas part of this ? - There are forces at work you couldn't possibly comprehend !
Now, please, leave !
[ Recording Over P.A. System ] God rest ye, merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ--
No, it's just I hate the fact that they put finals after the holiday.
It ruins the whole meaning of vacation.
I wouldn't worry. You always do fine.
Besides, a bad grade isn't the end of the world.
[ Doorbell Rings ]
[ Pants ] It's you.
- I didn't-- - Where is she ?
- The girl is safe. - And what of the world ?
Everything is as planned.
Our acts go unnoticed, unquestioned.
- We're everywhere. - Daddy, who is it ?
- Is this your daughter ? - Yes.
- And this is your wife ? - Yes.
Mm.
[ Rock ]
Oh, you insist you gotta talk that shit
You gotta keep that dog ass breath

[ Female Newscaster ] Throughout the country, the National Guard...
has been put on alert as a precaution--
[ Male Newscaster ]Mayor Giuliani urged all citizens and police...
to stay calm during this holiday season.
[ Female Newscaster ] No explanations for how blood on the hands of the Christ child,
depicted in Michelangelo's famous sculpture of the Pieta--
[ Male Newscaster ] ...atmosphere of fear and panic, random acts of violence...
are being attributed to satanic cults who seem determined...
to disrupt New Year's celebrations throughout the world.
Here in New York--
Sorry, pal, you can't come in here.
Ahh. The young boys that you seduced have left their scent upon you.
Remember who it is that you serve. Hmm ?
Open your eyes, Thomas.
[ Gasping ]
[ Grunting ]
Look. Look at the face that has haunted your dreams for a thousand years.
[ Grunting ]
They say you can see the future, Thomas.
Then you must know exactly what I'm going to do to you.
[ Panting ]
[ Bobby ]I don't know what we hope to get from this guy.
- He's got no fucking tongue. - He can write.
Fuck me.
[ Female Newscaster ] There is still no explanation...
for the devastating explosions that rocked midtown two nights ago.
In the wake of Tuesday night's explosion,
investigators from the New York City Fire Department are still at a loss to explain...
why the restaurant suddenly burst into flames, killing at least 35 people.
- Hey, asshole, watch where you're going. - Hey, I like the shirt.
Screw you, man !
Hey, kid.
[ Horn Honking ]
- [ Woman Screaming ] - Nice shirt.
I'm telling you, no one entered the room. Maybe he did it himself.
Then how did he get the last scalpel in !
[ Doctor ] Oh, my God.
- It just keeps getting better. - [ Doctor ] I've never seen anything like this.
[ Police Officers, Nurses Chattering ]
I think this is written in Latin.
"When the thousand years has ended,
Satan shall be loosed out of his prison."
Uh, this next part is not clear. I-I-I think it's in English.
It says, "Christ--
Christ in New York."
- [ Thomas Shouts ] - [ Screaming ]
- Christ ! - [ Nurses Whimpering ]
Well, it's official. I'm never sleeping again, ever. You okay ?
A guy cuts words into his chest. Someone else nails him to the ceiling.
What's not okay ?
[ Sighs ] So where we going ?
The girl. I gotta talk to her, find out what she knows.
W-W-Wait. We don't have a name. That would help.
Maybe we do. Maybe it's not "Christ in New York."
Maybe it's, "Chris in New York," "Christine in New York."
"Christine York." Let's run a D.M.V. check and find out if any of those names come up.
[ Bobby ] Hello, Christine York.
Sometimes you border on competent.
- I know. It's scary, isn't it ? - [ Bobby Chuckles ]
[ Speaking Italian ]
Christine ?
Mabel called. She'd like you to get dressed and join her for lunch.
Grazie, Carson.
No ! [ Screaming ]
Shit !
[ Christine Grunts ]
No ! No !
Ahhh ! Goddamn it, get off me !
- Go downstairs and watch the front door ! - Please!
- Help ! - There is no sanctuary but heaven.
- [ Grunting, Gasping ] - You must go there now.
- What are you doing ? - I commend you to Almighty God and entrust you--
[ Bobby ] At what point is this considered...
interfering with a police investigation ?
Hey, we are private citizens having a conversation with another citizen.
I mean, I don't think they've found a way to outlaw that. At least not yet.
[ Christine ] Please! No !
May you return to Him who formed--
Go down there. Do whatever you can. I need more time to finish the last rites.
- [ Shrieking ] - May Christ, the true shepherd--
- [ Christine ]Help ! - Stairs.
Covered.
Help !
May you see your redeemer--
- ...forever, amen. - [ Yelling ]
- [ Christine ] Son of a bitch ! - [ Groaning ]
[ Grunting ]
You all right ?
Yeah. Check the body down the stairs.
What body ?
Call the police, and get an ambulance.
[ Jer Panting ]
Take it easy. We're the good guys.
All right ? What happened?
Carson. Those men-- Th-Those men--
They tried to kill me. [ Panting ]
Why ? [ Panting ]
Eight jets, variable speed. That's what I call dying in style.
What kind of girl lives in a house like this, anyway ?
Oh, she's an orphan. Both parents deceased.
After the mother died, the home nurse married the father.
Now the nurse is the sole guardian.
I think it's adorable the way you talk like a real cop.
Yeah ? So you think after they clean up this mess, we could...
- [ Marge ] Don't tempt me. - soak a little ?
- They relax me. You want one ? - Oh, no, thanks. I drink.
- My little girl had one just like it. - Really ?
- Mm-hmm. - Yeah ? You snoop through her stuff without asking too ?
When I was looking for something.
What are you looking for ?
A connection.
Most days, I don't feel connected to anyone.
I noticed a lot of religious books outside.
Mm. They're my stepmother's.
- Is she a big believer ? - No, not really.
It's mostly just kind of like a hobby with her.
Do you know a priest by the name of Thomas Aquinas ?
No. Is that your connection, religion ?
I've seen a lot of attempted murders,
but I've never seen anyone perform the last rites before.
- [ Mabel ] Christine ? - In here !
Are you all right ? Oh, my God, I just heard what happened !
Did they hurt you ?
I'm okay, but Carson--
I know. Oh.
I'm just so glad you came along when you did.
Thanks.
[ Sighs ]
I didn't realize you knew where the library was, let alone had a card.
Well, there's a lot about me you don't know.
[ Mabel ] They're right outside.
[ Dr. Abel on Telephone ] You must bring her. He is waiting for her.
No, that's impossible ! They'll follow me and find the temple !
I couldn't convince her to come here.
Yuck ! Then I shall have to go to her.
Did I mention I had a date tonight ?
Not just the inflatable kind. A real live girl.
Did you break up with the inflatable one ?
Yeah. She was just too needy.
Everything was about her.
It's just that this is starting to feel a lot like work.
Normally, I wouldn't mind work because, well, you know,
we'd be getting paid.
Watching rich people for free. It just seems odd, doesn't it ?
Okay, I'll wait here.
- Change your mind about the pill ? - I found something.
Christine, what are you doing ? Why is that man here ?
I'll be five minutes.
She loves me to death, but she's a little overprotective.
I took this from one of your attackers.
- Did you show that to the police ? - No.
If I did, it would end up in a plastic envelope on one of their large shelves.
- That's pretty cynical. - Well, I've put a few of those envelopes...
up on that large shelf myself.
I used to be a cop.
Now, this amulet is from a Masonic order...
in a former sub-herald of the Vatican knights.
[ Jer ] The Knights of the Holy See.
They await the return of the Dark Angel to Earth.
So, the men that attacked me are devil worshippers ?
No. This says they're the good guys.
They're the ones that are supposed to stop the devil worshippers.
Those were the good guys ? What does that have to do with me ?
- [ Humans Shrieking ] - [ Screams ]

I'm sorry. I have a medical condition.
- Sometimes I see things that aren't there. - No. I saw it too.

- After all these years of waiting, it's finally happening. - What's happening ?
You can't run away now!
- [ Christine ] Stop it ! - Let her go ! - No !
- [ Grunting ] - [ Grunting ]
Don't you love me ?
Didn't I give you everything ?
- [ Grunting ] - Haven't I been a mother to you ?
