All language subtitles for Dark Streets (2008) 1080p

(GUN FIRES)

PRINCE: A bullet's kiss
is a cold way to
meet betrayal.

Some things never
change in this city.

Blackouts. Lights out.
Everything stops.

Like this gig I had
at this spot called
the Tower.

Lot of cats were involved
in the ups and downs.

Hey, man, some were righteous,
some were straight-up crooks,

the rest were just dreamers
who were dancing around
in their own world.

That was Chaz Davenport.

Wide-eyed rich kid
who ate cereal
from a silver spoon.

I ain't saying that's a bad
thing, see, 'cause he could
have did the family route.

Had the power, prestige,
been an instant wheel
in the big city,

but, like I said,
Chaz was a dreamer.

I guess his dream was to
find life on his own.

He opened up the Tower,
this paradise for wolves who
led lambs to the slaughter.

See, Chaz was cursed
and blessed with a big heart.

Big hearts break
hard downtown fast.

Welcome to the blues.

* I had a dream last night

* There were no shadows,
no sign of light

* My heart, it was aching

* I was lost and alone

* Blind to the rain

* I was soaked to the bone

* The broken sidewalk,
forever I roam

* 'Cause now these dark,
dark streets

* Are my home

* I ask God for nothing
and I got it in spades

* Moments of pleasure
how memories fade

* I have no pride,
I have no shame

* I cut the deal
and I take the blame

* Nightmares that haunt me
the night winds that roam

* Now these dark, dark,
dark streets

* They're my home

PRINCE: See, this all
went down a long time ago
on Gotham's dark streets.

That unreal world
in the back of your mind...

Darkness has no face.

Day and night embrace.

Come with me to this place
where shadows dance,

and romance is
an eager breath away.

(AUDIENCE WHOOPING)

Good evening and welcome
to the grand opening
of the Tower!

I am Prince Royale.

Now let's make it warm
for Miss Crystal LaBelle.

* If you're feeling lonely
when the blue hour
comes around

* Come in from the street now
Lay your troubles down

* Step in through my doorway
Come in from the rain

* 'Cause when I
hold you in my arms
all your heartaches fade

* Twilight calls,
nothing's what it seems

* Twilight calls,
you can live your dreams

* Twilight calls,
you come to me

(VOCALIZING)

* Twilight calls,
nothing's what it seems

* Twilight calls,
you can live your dreams

* Twilight calls,
nothing's what it seems

* Twilight calls,
when you come to me

* When twilight calls,
you come to me

* Come to me

* Yeah, you come to me

WOMAN: Congratulations,
Mr. Davenport.

(LAUGHING)

(WOMEN GIGGLING)

Ladies, you were incredible.

Best champagne all around.

Good night.

Ain't he the dreamiest?
Come back to earth.

A Davenport ain't havin'
nothin' real to do with you.

Or you either.

Get a load
of Lady Rockefeller.

You think 'cause you knew
him way back, he thinks
you're any different than us?

You don't know nothin'.

Sometimes things ain't
always like they seem.

PRINCE: Somewhere along the
way, Chaz's dad took the
deep six on his own bullet.

Left Chaz holding
a bag of bills.

And to find out
that he was nixed
out of the will

was like a kick in the face
when he was down.

* Why, oh, why

* Why do you treat me
like you do?

* I wanna know, babe

* I said why, oh, why

* Why do you treat me
like you do?

* I said, you know,
you know, baby

* That you treated me
wrong for

* For such a long, long time

* You're gonna look
around for me

* I said I'll be gone

Let's have a drink.
Just the two of us.

* Yeah, one of

* One of these sunny days

* You'll look around for me,
yeah and I'll be gone

* Yes, I will

* You treated me,
you treated me wrong

* You treated me wrong
far too long *

Yeah, the blues, man.
Once it's in you,
it's got you.

It had Chaz bad, so bad
he wanted to bottle it,
package it

and take it on uptown
to his rich friends.

But this city's
cold-blooded.

Just grabs hope by the throat
and it don't let go.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Come in.

Okay, 60 pounds of ice,
12 cases of ginger ale,

12 jars maraschino cherries.

You wanna roll for it?
No, sir.

Just put it on my account,
will you?
They told me I gotta collect.

* Now that's what I do

* I'm taking it slow

* Just living on the
layaway plan

This came in the mail.
Sure is heavy.

* I'm telling you how

* You might miss your chance
if you don't take it now

* You can have it today
and you don't have to pay

* You can afford it
on the layaway plan

* That's what I do

* I'm taking it slow

Hey, isn't that
from your father?

* Business after pleasure

* Just living on
the layaway plan *

Yes, it is
from my father.

Who the hell is
Gloria Martin?

See you later.

The Wonder Wheel.

Delores? Chaz.
I'm fine, fine.
Is my uncle in?

Hey, say, Delores,
did you ever hear
of a Gloria Martin?

No? All right.
Well, tell him I called.
Thanks.

(WOMEN GIGGLING)

Hey, sweetie, here's
a little something
to cheer you up.

You know I always share.

You're all cleaned up now,
huh? Chaz straightened
you out, didn't he?

You see, Crystal used to
know him back when he
went to that fancy college.

He used to let her
in through the window.

We're on in 30, girls.
Don't miss your cues.

Well, more for us.

(STAMMERING)
Mr. Davenport.

Thanks for the job.

I won't forget.

That's all right, Tommy,
just hand 'em the towels.

PRINCE: Everything
was popping.

More nights like this,
and the sharks
would be paid in full.

(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)

WOMAN: Again?

(SIGHS)

PRINCE: With darkness comes
nightmares that pull you
face to face

(LAUGHING)

with the Angel of Death.

Nice club.

Be nicer with electricity.

You can do a lot
with a place like this.

That was the idea,
Lieutenant.

Maybe you can arrest me
some customers.

(CHUCKLING)

That would be illegal.

Can I do something
for you?

Hope you're not afraid
of the dark.

I'm only afraid of
losing my shirt.

Good night,
Mr. Davenport.

Night, Rose.

Maybe you shouldn't take
your shirt off so much.

They always say
women look better
in candlelight.

I don't know.
What do you think, mister?

I got a friend who sings.

Okay. All right,
listen, Lieutenant,
you know what I need?

I need enough juice
to keep this place lit up.

Singers I got.

Yeah, I'll bring
her around.

* In this dirty town

* You know your life
ain't worth a damn

* You can lose it in a second

* When you tangle with the man

* 'Cause they'll take you out

* And they'll carry you
on down

* Only the gutter
for your burying ground *

Boss.

Boss!

Hey, you might wanna lay off
that hooch, man.

Hmm.

What can I do for you?
Power's back on.

Yeah, there's someone
here to see you.

Who?
Not a who,
it's more like a what.

Please. Sit down.

I brought you a warning.
Did you?

'Cause I didn't receive it...
Shut up!

(CHOKING)
A warning,
I came to talk with you.

(COUGHING)

This ain't no joke, playboy.
Pay up!

I'll be back,
and the next time
I won't be so sweet.

CRYSTAL: Chaz?

Chaz?

You sing beautiful, miss.

You okay?
Yeah, yeah, fine.

What was that all about?

Just... Nothing.

PRINCE: Consolidated Power.

I remember Chaz telling me
about being a kid,

playing in those long marble
hallways with his folks
before his old lady died.

One day, you're king
of the throne, next day,
you're begging for a loan.

REPORTER: (ON RADIO) Governor
Shipman, what exactly is being
done about the blackouts?

GOVERNOR: Every assemblyman
in the state is
losing sleep over this.

Good afternoon,
Mr. Davenport.
Afternoon, Mike.

We were all shocked
about your father.

So was I.

* When love wants to leave

* Well, it's up
and out that door

* You can make
a sinner believe

* Love can make
a rich man so poor

* Love knows no rules

* What's right
and what is wrong

* Even though
you've never known it

* You can miss it
when it's gone

* You can lose somebody

* You've barely known

DELORES: Chaz!

I thought I heard someone.

Delores.
The true love of my life.

Your uncle was just
talking about you before
he went out of town.

He's meeting
with the governor.
When will he be back, D?

It's hard to tell, you know,
with this power crisis.
Isn't it awful?

You know, your uncle
is working himself
to the bone.

Do you need him?
Just wanted to say hello.

And invite him to my club.
Yes, your new nightclub.

That must be
very exciting for you.

I forgot about Frank.

My father's best friends were
always the men who got their
hands dirty at the plant.

Your father was
the salt of the earth.

So, I tried to stop in
to see Leonard,
but his door was locked.

Leonard died.

(INHALES SHARPLY)

He died?

Car accident. Right after
your father's funeral.

They hired a new company
attorney, but nothing
like Leonard, though.

You know, 35 years.

(RINGING)

Yes?

(WHISPERING) That switchboard
can track me down
in the ladies' room.

I'll tell your uncle
to call you.

Yes, he's just leaving.

Yes.

He didn't know.

PRINCE: Like I always said,

you wanna dance
with the devil,
you gotta ride on the horn.

MAN: Well, if it ain't
Sleeping Beauty.

(GASPS)

I guess I missed last call.
You got the dough?

I got. Oh...

What do you mean, "Oh"?
You got it or not?

(STUTTERING) No. I got it,
I got it. I can get it, okay?

Got is now.
Get is in the future!

(GASPING)

LIEUTENANT: It ain't polite to
point them things at people.

Guess it's good
I came by.

(PANTING)

Grab his arm.

(GRUNTING)

(RETCHING)

Maybe you need
some protection
from this sort of thing.

CRYSTAL: Five, six,
seven and...

* Send me your kiss

* 'Cause only you know
how to thrill me like this

* There's not another
who could give me such bliss
when we kiss

* So, baby, drive me crazy

* Send me your charms

* 'Cause all I want
is just to be in your arms

* And all your loving is
what I'm dreaming
of heaven above

* So, baby,
send me your love

(MUSIC CONTINUES
IN DISTANCE)

(EXHALES)

I guess I should thank you.

Not necessary.

There's only one problem.

Now that you
killed King Kong,

his employer is probably
gonna be a little bit annoyed.

I'm guessing you
owe some money.

(CHUCKLES SARCASTICALLY)

You're obviously
clairvoyant.

No, Methodist.

I got some juice
in this town.
I'll make some calls.

See if I can't buy you
a little bit more time.

Yeah, but when he finds out
his ape is dead...

Maybe I say you paid him

and he decided to take
a little Mexican vacation
with the dough.

You see?

* Baby, send me your kiss

* 'Cause only you know
how to thrill me like this

This is Madelaine.

* There's not another
who could give me such bliss

She's gonna be
auditioning for you.

* So, baby

* Come on
and send me your kiss

* Send me your kiss

Hello, Mr. Davenport.

And I can sing, too.

So how do you know
the Lieutenant?

He's an old friend.

You have
interesting friends.

If this isn't a good time,
we can certainly...

Time...

Actually,
it's a perfect time.

* I'm a lady far from home

* Just a stranger
wherever I roam

* There ain't nowhere
I've ever known

* That's a place
I can call my own

* If you need sweet company

* Come and spend
some time with me

* In the morning
when you're gone

* I want a place
I can call my own *

Thank you.

I'll see you tomorrow?
Yes.

We don't need
another singer.

Wasn't she great?
What about my numbers?

Well, you're a great belter,
but we've got
a real chanteuse now.

She can chanteuse
my ass.

* Well, I know a lot of women
with a crazy plan

* Don't mind me at all
being the backdoor man

* Don't get what I want,
but I get what I can

* Loving on the layaway plan

You might be a high roller,
furs and rings.

But when it comes up
snake eyes,
it don't mean a thing.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Miss Madelaine Bondurant.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

* No one wins
the game of life

* No matter how they try

* We're all dreamers
in the night
as the world is passing by

* True love's never true

* Love is just a lie

* Seems to me
they're nothing more
than one long goodbye

* Every dream has an end
when morning has to start

* And there ain't no way
to mend a lonely broken heart

* 'Cause true love's
never true

* Love is just a lie

* Seems to me
there's nothing more
than one long, sad goodbye *

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

Tell me.
Where are you at home?

Here.

No white picket fence?

No dogs in the yard?

This is what I want.

(CHAZ AND MADELAINE LAUGHING)

Listen, Chaz,
I'm a singer and I'm good.

I plan on being
much more than just
another nightclub act

and I'm not going to be part
of your little stable.

No, of course not.

They're all out to
pasture now.
You're the one I'm betting on.

You really shouldn't
gamble, Chaz.

I have to go.
I have to rehearse.

Hey, man, someone said
you left this at the bar.

Yeah, I thought it
might be good luck.

The band wants to know
when they're getting paid.

They'll get paid.
Yeah?

Yeah.
Cool.

(MUSIC BOX PLAYING)

ARTHUR: "Gloria, darling,
if you receive this,
then I am dead.

"They think you know
something and they'll
come after you, too.

"Take the money
and go somewhere safe.

"Love, Arthur."

Your father,
what are you talking about?

I'm gonna find out
who killed him.

You've been drinkin' like
a fish and now you're
talkin' stupid. Stop it.

PRINCE: Hope on
a book of matches.

Hey, some hope beats
no hope at all. Right?

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

CHAZ: Thanks for
squeezing in a dance
with the boss.

Well, you have to promise
not to step on
my toes next time.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING SOFTLY)

HARRY: Hey, Davenport,
who's the doll?

The doll is Miss Bondurant
to you, Harry.

How do you do,
Miss Bondurant?

Better be careful, honey,
the camera don't lie.
Only people do.

Hello, Crystal.

How'd you like
a page 6 spread
in the Friday edition?

What, did you run out
of dead bodies to snap?

Just hard to find
good stories in the dark.

Listen. Just arrange
a little date with
the cutie over there.

CHAZ: Rosie?

Maybe a half hour,
somewhere discreet.

Get out of my club.

You know, I didn't think
we should run your father's
dead mug on the front page,

but my editor insisted
on it.

DOORMAN: Out.

Speakin' of these blackouts,
Davenport,

isn't keepin' the lights on
your family business?

(SOFTLY) Scumbag.

I can't believe we're taking
23 and 24 off the grid.
I mean, that ain't right.

Excuse me.
This station is closed
to the public.

Well, you must be new here.
I'm Charles Davenport.

I'm afraid you're
gonna have to leave.
Safety regulations.

No, no. I'm just looking
for somebody who works here.
Frank Levitt?

You say Frank Levitt?
You know him?

Yeah, he packed his lunchbox
up about a month ago.
I ain't seen him since.

Do you know
where he went?
No.

This is private property.
You're trespassing.

All right, I'm gone,
all right?
Good.

Wouldn't want you
to get electrocuted
or something.

(ELECTRICITY BUZZING)

(WOMAN SCREAMING
IN DISTANCE)

Chaz, how does this look?
We're down a girl.

What happened to Darlene?
She still hasn't shown up.

Maybe she overslept.
Yeah, well,
she's sleepin' now.

Yeah, eternally.

LILLY: What?

CHAZ: Christ.

Where have you been?
I was out.

You might wanna try
being in once in a while.

(PHONE RINGING)

Especially when
there's a rehearsal.

(PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)

Hello?

Wait, Gloria?

Yeah. No, I've been
trying to reach you.

All right. Okay.

I'll be there.

Oh, my, another dame?

Hey.

(WOMEN MURMURING)

See you soon.
Sure.

Excuse me. I'm looking
for a Gloria Martin?

Right behind you.
She fell down the stairs.

Gloria? It's Charles.
Charles Davenport?
Can you hear me?

(SHALLOW BREATHING)

Gloria?

They murdered your father.

They're going to
try to kill you.

Who killed my father?
Who killed my father?

Hey, mister, that's enough.
The governor.

What about the governor?
Your father loved you.

He loved you so much.

(AMBULANCE SIREN WAILING)

MAN: * In this dirty, old town

* You know your life
ain't worth a damn

* You can lose it in a second

* If you tangle with the man

* 'Cause they'll take you out

* And they'll carry you
on down

* Only the gutter
for your burying ground

* And if you are rich or poor

* Sure it don't make
no never mind *

Gloria Martin?

Yes, yes,
friend of the family.

When did she die?

No. Thanks.

So what do you
want to talk about?

I was thinking about
what you said to me before.

About needing protection.

(FLY BUZZING)

What do you
need protecting from?

I don't know.

I know this is going to
sound crazy.

But... There's a woman...
Seems there
always is with you.

No. No, no.

This is different.

She's dead.

She fell down some stairs,
but I know she was pushed.

She said the
governor is involved.

You think the
governor pushed her?

Just... He had
something to do with it,

and I think they're
trying to kill me, too.

Why?

I don't know.

All right.
Don't tell me.

We all have
our little secrets.

I'll keep my eyes
open around here.

You can owe me
when you get your big payday.

(FLY BUZZING)

(PEOPLE CLAMORING)

As I've said repeatedly,
we are doing everything
in our power

to end these blackouts, folks.

We cannot let private power
companies take control
of our state.

REPORTER: Governor. Governor.
HARRY: What's the real deal,
Governor?

Governor.
Come on, guys,
I've a flight to catch.

Governor,
I'm Charles Davenport.
Davenport?

Let him through.
Let him through.

REPORTER: Sir, sir. One
more question...

I need to talk to you.
The answer is still no.

You Davenports
can go to hell.

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)

Governor Shipman!
REPORTER: Sir! Sir!

I'll see what I can do.

See anything you like?

What do you mean?

I needed to use the phone
and I forgot something.

Like that mask you wear
whenever he's around?

Chaz gave it to me.

I didn't want it to die.

I always thought
red was for love.

And white was
for funerals.

Welcome, sir.

(ALL CHATTERING)

Charles?

(LAUGHING DELIGHTEDLY)

Uncle Nate.

You cut quite the figure.

Well, I take after
my favorite uncle.

Delores said you've been
trying to reach me.
Is anything wrong?

I wanted to talk to you
about my father.

(SIGHS)

I know I haven't really
been there for you,
Charles, I'm... I'm sorry.

Being busy is no excuse.

Uncle Nate, did...

Did my father work closely
with the governor?

Well, yes. He did. Why?

Would the governor have
any reason to want
my father out of the way?

There's been a lot of
tension between the
company and the state

during the power crisis.

For goodness' sake,
Charles...

I know, I know! It
sounds crazy. It's just...

I have a letter
from my father.

A letter?
Wait, I'm gonna get it.

MAN: Keep your ears open.
Or he's a dead man.

CHORUS: * Knocking at my door
* Knocking at my door

Don't worry, Charles,
I'll look into it.
Thanks.

(GUN FIRES)

PRINCE: * Looked out my window
early one foggy night

* Well, I saw a stranger
in the pale moonlight

* Crawled back in my bed
when I heard the sound

* See my blood started racing
and my heart began to pound

* And I said
you must be the devil

* You must be the devil
* You must be the devil

* Hey, hey,
this must be the devil

* This must be the devil
* This must be the devil

* Hey, hey

* Heaven can't help me no more

* I was hiding in the dark
when I heard him laugh

* He said,
"Boy, where I come from
See, we don't forget the past"

* He said,
"The gates of hell
are open now

* "I'm on the loose
You gotta be careful
what you say, boy

* "'Cause I got
a real short fuse"

* And I said,
"You must be the devil"

* You must be the devil
* You must be the devil

* Hey, hey,
you must be the devil

* You must be the devil
* You must be the devil

* Hey, hey

* Don't you understand?
I said he's the devil

* I made a deal with the devil

* And heaven
can't help me no more

* I made a deal with the devil
don't you understand?

* I made a deal with the devil
I just don't understand

* I never should have
tried to take the shotgun

* 'Cause now

* Old devil at the door

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

PRINCE: Yeah, see when Tommy
got his throat slit,

bottom dropped out of
whatever false bravado
we all had going on.

And I still sleep
with one eye open.

* Chill of the night

* And it's dark all around

* Nothing seems right
and there's blood
on the ground

* You just don't understand

* 'Bout the deal
that's going down

* And the devil plays his hand

* Now there's blood
on the ground *

(FOOTSTEPS)

Crystal? What are you doing
out here? It's dangerous.

I followed you.

I figured you'd be pretty
down about Tommy.

I know I am.

Jesus.

(CARNIVAL TRUCK MUSIC PLAYING)

My dad used to take
me when I was a kid.

We'd go at sundown,

just when they were starting
to light the whole place up.

Yeah?

Something about places
like that when you're a kid.

Like magic, you know?

My father used to pay
the guy to stop at the
top of the Ferris wheel.

You could see for miles
from up there. The city
was lit up like stars.

So many lights.
Ain't many lights nowadays.

Even when we were in caves,
we all used to gather
around the campfire.

Sure. You didn't wanna
get eaten by a lizard
with big sharp teeth.

We ride those things
just to test it all,
you know?

You want that feeling,
you want to be scared.

You want to know
what it feels like.
Like what feels like?

Dying.

Hey, don't...
Don't look at me like that.

Come on, let's go.

I could use a drink.

Me, too.

* When I come home

* All you wanna do,
all you wanna do
is fuss and fight, yeah

* Baby, can't do that

CHAZ: It's getting
pretty late, huh?

* Yeah

* I work hard all day

It's not that late.

* ...fuss and fight

Crystal...

Come on, baby.
Like it used to be.

* You know, baby, hey
it just ain't right

What the hell's
wrong with you?

It's her, isn't it?

You're very special to me,
Crystal.

Yeah? But not
special enough, huh?

Special enough
for good times.
Stop it, Crystal.

Special enough
for promises, once.
Stop it!

But not special enough to
keep a doc from shoving
a coat hanger up me.

I know.

(CRYING)

I know. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Crystal.

Please.

Please.

I'm sorry.

You're in love with that
little bitch, aren't you?

* You treated me wrong

Don't think I'm jealous,
'cause I'm not.

That new little pony of yours,
she's the one riding you.

PRINCE: He couldn't let it go.

Knowing his old man
was murdered

kept him searching shadows
in every dark corner.

(EXCLAIMS)

(TIRES SQUEALING)

(CHAZ PANTING)

NATHANIEL: I've been
digging into this theory
of yours, Charles,

and I'm sorry,
it doesn't add up.

I think we have to
face facts.

Your father...
There was a woman and she...

Gloria Martin.
Gloria Martin, yes.

They had been...

Well, he knew her for
a long time, and about
a year ago, she broke it off.

Your father sank into
a deep depression.

And with you also gone,
I think his mind
just gave way,

just gave up.

You don't know what
it was like to see my brother
just deteriorate like that.

What about the governor?

Although the governor
and your father
didn't see eye to eye...

But murder, Charles...
It's a bit extreme.

I mean, even
for a politician.

See, I...

I always thought it
came with the territory.

Charles, these things
are hard for all of us.

I'm sure the last thing
your father would have wanted

was for you to waste
your life over it.

Right.

Charles, I'm worried
about you.

You don't look well.

I'm all right.

Why don't you go up
to your father's old cabin
for a few days?

I forgot about that place.

There must be some
beautiful girl you can
take along with you,

isn't there?

Get out of the city,
away from the blackouts.

Listen.

Just forget about
all of this for a while?

Okay.

(UPBEAT BLUES MUSIC PLAYING)

Why don't you boys go play
some gin rummy?

I don't see your
little friend here.

She's just your friend,
right?

(SIGHS)

Save yourself.

Or don't.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

(SNIFFLES)

(BOTH PANTING)

WOMAN: We're on in 10.

* I've been waiting
all night long

* I never thought
you would show

* You're so nice,
let's be nice some more

* I can't love hoping

* Hoping for your call

* Hey, that would be nice

* Let's be nice some more

* People go out dancing

* Dancing till dawn

* Hey, don't that sound nice?

* Let's be nice some more

* I remember, darling

* You were waiting at my door

* We'd be out romancing

* Never coming back
till after 4:00

* Maybe you hold me
all night long

* Hey, wasn't that nice?

* Let's be nice some more

* Yeah, baby

* I remember, darling,
you waiting at my door

* We'd be out romancing

* Never coming back
till after 4:00

* Now you got
someone that...

Smile, Guv.

No!
Hello, Governor.

Who the hell are you?

* Let's be nice some more

* She must think it's nice

* Let's be nice some more

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

What's this?

My father gave this to
me when I was seven.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Something else we used to do,
my father and me...

Bring the stars closer.

I just had an idea
for one of my
numbers at the club.

Tell me about it.

You've heard the
number before.

I suddenly came up
with a whole
new arrangement.

* Now you've heard
my sad refrain

* Its melody so blue

* When my song has
run its course

* The answer's up to you

* 'Cause true love's
never true

* Love is just a lie

* A song that's
never ever sung

* Will slowly fade and die

PRINCE: Delilahs are
and always will be the root
of every sap's demise.

Sooner or later,
you gotta wake up.

And it ain't the dream
you're looking at anymore.

* Chill of the night
and it's dark all around

* Nothing seems right
and there's blood
on the ground

* You just don't understand

* 'Bout the deal
that's going down

* And the devil plays his hand

* Now there's blood
on the ground

* You don't know
what's going on

(LAUGHING)

Frank...
Chaz.

Is that you?
Frank. I've been
looking for you all over.

What are you doing here?

Your father got me the job.
Yeah?

Said I knew too much.
People might be
lookin' for me.

Wait, what people?

See, your uncle was
closing plants down
for maintenance.

There was nothing
wrong with them.

He just shut down parts
of the grid, and before
you know it,

whole city's goin' dark.

My uncle

was deliberately
causing the blackouts?

Consolidated wanted
the power contract
for the whole state.

So your uncle played hardball.
"Guess what, Governor?

"We're not turnin' the
juice back on until
we get that contract."

Your father was
gonna blow the whistle.

But somehow, your uncle
got the governor to
change his mind.

Now your uncle's
got all the juice.

Hey, wait... You're...
You're packing up?

I mean, the...
The carnival just got here,
didn't it?

Always seems that way.
Show's over, son.

All right, boys.
Let's pull down her bones.

* 'Cause you just
don't understand

* 'Bout the deal
that's going down

* Now the devil plays his hand

* Now there's blood
on the ground

Dad?

* What you thought
was right was wrong

* And you better not look down

* At the blood on the ground

* I used to be lucky

* I used to be lucky,
so they say

* The sun shining down on me

* I used to be lucky,
so they say

* I was as happy
as a baby boy could be

* But you know as time
goes passing by
you know that I

* All I do is
sit alone and cry

(WOMEN CACKLING)

* Now don't you
worry about me, girl

Chaz?

* I just don't care anymore

Get the hell out of here!

See you later, sweetie.

* Now don't you worry
about me, baby *

Great club.

By the way, notice how
the governor turned around
on that energy thing?

Quite the smooth move
on your uncle's part,
wouldn't you say, Davenport?

Why don't you just go?

Some people really know
how to take the power
into their own hands.

Rosie.

(LAUGHING)

Crystal.

What are you doing?
Hi, Chaz.

You're back on that junk?
Crystal?

Come on, baby.

What the hell is
going on here, huh?
Why are you talking to me?

That's how you like it.
You like it rough, huh?

Well, that's how it is
with a girl like me.

Where's Madelaine?

I told you she
was a little snake.

God. Crystal.
For God's sake.

I could tell you something
you wanna know,

but you just gotta say
it one more time.

You don't gotta mean it,
just say the words one time.

What are you doing?

You should have
stayed by the campfire.

We all should've
stayed by the campfire.

What happened to Mack?

I don't know Mack.

Let him go.

* In this dirty town

Pour Mr. Davenport
a whiskey.

* You know your life
ain't worth a damn

What the hell is going on
around here?

I knew this place had
potential the minute
I laid eyes on it.

(SNIFFS DEEPLY)

So did Madelaine.

She always had a good head
on her shoulders.

* 'Cause they'll take you out

Where is she?

* And they'll carry you down

You know women.

You don't want them,
you gotta swat them
like flies.

* ...for your burying ground

When you do...

* If you're rich or poor

* Sure it don't
make no never mind

* Maybe I'll rob
the liquor store

* Drink every
single bottle dry

Madelaine!

Madelaine!

* Shoot the cop
on the corner *

Madelaine!

* No one wins the game of life

(PHONE RINGING)
* No matter how they try

* We're all dreamers
in the night

* As the world is passing by

* True love's never true

* Love is just a lie

* Seems to me
there's nothing more

Hello?

* ...than one long goodbye

Hello?

NATHANIEL: I heard you've
been, well, digging
into things, Charles.

How do you know
where I am?

(CAR ENGINE HUMMING)

You're my only nephew,
Charles.
I tried to protect you.

You killed my father.

I certainly never
counted on you to
start digging around.

That was very foolish
of you, Charles.

You see,
you weren't disinherited,

though you deserved to be,
which you knew as well as I.

My brother, that idiot,
he willed 50% of
Consolidated to you.

I destroyed
the original will.

I knew he'd hidden a copy.
Someplace where
only you would find it.

Your father knew
I wouldn't think of looking
at the heavens.

Only you would look
for pie in the sky.

The meek do not inherit
the earth, Charles.
They get eaten.

Welcome back, sir.

Maddy.

* I had a dream last night

* There were no shadows,
no sign of light

* I was lost in a world,
no sense of time

* I cried to the dark,
I committed no crime

* This broken sidewalk,
forever I roam

* And now these dark,
dark streets

* Are my home

So now you're going
to kill yourself.

* I ask God for nothing
and got it in spades

Guess it runs in the family.

* How memories fade

* I have my pride,
I know the game

* I cut the deal,
so there's no one to blame

* The nightmares that haunt me
the night winds that moan

* 'Cause now these dark,
dark streets

* Are my home

(GUN FIRES)

PRINCE: The meek don't
inherit the earth.

They just end up in it.

See, the Angel of Death
collected a soul,

and wasn't nothing left
but the blues.

* Round about 6:00

* Looking your best

* Got a shine on your shoes

* And a watch in your vest

* Come crawling home, baby

* Looking like a dog
in the rain

* Had too much juice

* Daddy's been drinking again

* Round about dawn

* You hop in my bed

* I need to have some fun

* But it's like
waking the dead

* You're no good to me, baby

* 'Cause my daddy's
been drinking again

* Yeah, that's too,
too much juice

* Daddy's been drinking again

* Yeah

* Daddy's been drinking

* Daddy's been drinking

* Round about noon

* You got bed in your head

* Why am I so blue, I ask

* I'm so mad

* It's downhill, baby

* Like a runaway train

* You had too much juice

* Daddy's been drinking again

* Round about noon

* You got bed in your head

* Why am I so blue, I ask

* I'm so mad

* It's downhill, baby

* Like a runaway train

* You had too much
of that juice

* Daddy's been drinking again

* You had too much juice

* Daddy's been drinking again

* You had too much juice

* Looks like Daddy's
been drinking again

* You had too much juice

* Too much juice

* Daddy's been drinking

* Drinking

* Again

* Yes, sir
