Original subtitles

We have the right that can allow anyone human being back in time.

Brothers and sisters, our beloved house of worship has developed a leaky roof.

I see some of you sisters have come prepared for the worst.

Sister Evelyn, is that lovely bonnet waterproof by any chance?

Well, our roof may be leaky, but I say let it rain.

Let the waters of Galilee wash our streets clean of the filth that's

our community for too long.

Let the power of this holy flood be unleashed on that demon. And y 'all know

I'm talking about. Here it comes again. The demon, formerly dressed in blue, who

now shows his true colors. Huh?

But let the rain of salvation wash him and his kind down Satan's sewer. Amen?

And leave us baptized, sanitized, and revitalized. Are you ready to be washed

clean? For the archangel Michael is coming on his chariot of fire.

And the rain that he's bringing won't just be water, but gold as well.

Gold enough to defeat that godforsaken demon in blue and rebuild our community.

He promised to stop this.

Gold is going to rain down from the sky tonight.

Right here tonight.

How could I say such an outrageous thought?

Because I've seen it.

What?

You don't believe me?

Well, come on outside and witness for yourself.

Come on.

Our deliverance is at hand.

Michael's chariot is on its way.

Can you hear it coming?

Can you feel it?

Oh, Lord, please show us a sign.

Please now for these good people.

Come on back inside, Reverend.

We've got some new global hot spots to track.

In Ireland, we've got a splinter IRA group that's planning a terrorist

And the Indians and

Pakistanis are wagging willies at each other again, which is business as usual.

Could you pay attention, please? I'm sorry.

And last but not least, the First Lady makes the list.

She hasn't been heard from in a week.

Staff's not saying anything, so maybe she's just covering up for another one

her infamous benders.

What are you doing?

Vukovich, what is your major malfunction?

Him! Check it out. New global hotspot. Oh, baby, I hope we don't get thin into

that region.

It is not funny!

Tracy Donovan.

Well, I've been missing you at service lately.

What are you doing?

Well, the church board is putting me on a leave of absence.

One too many visions, I guess. You can't go. I need to.

Oh, my God.

What's happened to you?

I'm okay.

It's Lamar. I'm worried about him. Tracy, Lamar has gone down Satan's path.

Help me.

Help me save him. Tracy, I... Where is he?

You know.

Clarence's place.

Give us the strength to fight these demons that plague us.

Amen.

Shouldn't you be in school, little man?

It's a holiday.

Seems like every day is a holiday around here, isn't it?

Lamar? What's he doing here?

Take you out of this place, and we're going to get you some help.

I don't need help.

I say you're begging for help.

What are you doing, Lamar?

You've been blessed with so much talent.

You did our Michael at our church, what, when you were 15?

That's God's hand working through you, son.

Yeah, well, maybe if God bought a painting or two, things would be a whole

different. Look, all you have to do... Hey!

Look.

You got to get out of this place. You're lost.

I know.

I've been lost too.

But the Lord showed me that I had a mission in this world, and he'll show

your mission too. I can't, Reverend.

I am in too deep. I'll go to the police if I have to, Lamar.

You're crazy.

I'd rather see you in jail than dead.

Listen to this girl, son.

She loves you.

You got it in you, Lamar.

Look. All you need is a new canvas and a fresh start.

Come on.

Come on now.

Little man.

What's the word, son?

Lamar and his girlfriend, the Reverend, talk about going to the police.

Oh, yeah?

Today, the District of Columbia celebrated the retirement of one of its

officers who started the famed Crush Anti -Gang Unit, responsible for the

decline in the city's major gang violence.

Police Detective Terrence Mallory leaves the service after 36 spectacular years.

In that time, he earned nearly...

What are you looking at? Are those your brain cells?

No, it's moving way too fast.

Actually, it's my dear eccentric friend John Ballard's downlink from the

Department of Defense satellites. It's tracking the movement of currency

throughout the country.

This, of course, is the San Francisco Bay Area.

That's a snapshot of the U .S. economy right there.

Nice trick.

How's it work?

I'll show you. You got a 20?

Give me a 20.

Give the man a 20.

You see that magnetic stripe right there? Yeah, I hear they make you

That explains why you never have any, right?

The satellite reads the code, which shows up as a dot.

Lots of dots.

So much wealth in one country, it hardly seems fair.

It's the American way, baby.

Hello.

Yeah, for you.

All right, hand it over, Klepto. I was going to give it back, sure.

It's going to be safe with you.

What's up, buddy?

My little sister, she's dead.

They told my folks, Frank, that it was the overdose.

She went heroin.

She and her boyfriend both.

She made the dean's list at Howard last semester. They were going to get married

next year.

Does that make any sense?

Maybe you ought to let me go with you. No, I appreciate that, man, but this is

family thing.

I'll call you.

Craig.

I'm sorry.

When I grow up, I'm never going to leave here.

I'm going to get married and have three kids and live next door to Mommy and

Daddy. Not me.

I'm going to see the whole world. But no matter where I go, I'm always going to

be there for you, sis.

Excuse me.

Is Reverend Floyd inside?

Reverend's dead.

What happened?

They pulled him out of the river this morning.

What is happening around here?

They said he was despondent over losing his job.

Neighborhood. Just got to be too much for him.

I'm so sorry.

Listen, maybe you can help me. My sister was Tracy Donovan, and I know she

was... Poor girl. Yes.

Oh, so you knew her?

I know you're not going to find the answers you're looking for here.

Down there is what killed her.

It's killing this whole neighborhood.

Excuse me.

Thanks.

No cops allowed.

I'm not a cop.

So what, you get a lot of good sounds like that?

Depends on what you're listening for.

Yo, you need something, man?

Yeah, I need something.

Who runs this operation?

Clarence! She was there.

Thank you.

No, no.

Strictly personal.

What,

man? What?

Who's that?

Lamar picked his girlfriend.

What about her, man? She OD'd.

No, no, no. She was not a unit. How the hell would you know she was a unit? I

wouldn't know.

Who are you? What you want, man? I'm her brother.

Okay, now somebody shut up.

Didn't you?

No, man. It wasn't me, man. Man, look, look, look. All I want is the truth.

9 -1 -1, what is your emergency?

My name is Captain Craig Donovan, U .S. Navy.

I just killed a man.

You

got a

problem this bad, why didn't you come to me?

I mean, what were you thinking?

I knew I shouldn't let you go alone.

Your neighbors don't look too friendly.

All that damage get you moved.

Don't make no difference, Frank. You know what it does to me?

I talk to her, Frank, man. I talk to her every week.

I didn't know nothing about her real life.

Nothing.

I couldn't help, Frank.

But I blew it.

I blew it.

Maybe you can't change what happened.

Maybe I can.

Great. Now even the commies know about backstep.

They even have photographs.

You never take a bad one, do you?

Craig Donovan was evaluated. Everyone here is on a regular basis.

Yes, myself included.

Yes, sir.

Evidence seems to indicate the source of the leak was Craig. It's presumed he

had some sort of mental breakdown in jail.

Your buddy goes off the deep end before you?

That's a bet I would have lost.

We're clear to backstep.

Frank, I know Craig's your friend, but you've got to report to us immediately

we can lock him down.

Do I have your word?

Yes, sir, absolutely.

Well, let's move, people.

Don't think I don't know you were behind this, Frank.

What are you talking about?

Don't deny it.

I tell you I'm not going to forget it if I didn't know a backstep was about to

erase everything.

But if you ever try something like this again, I'll make... Damn sure you are

out of this program.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir.

One. Engage.

Our deliverance is at hand.

Michael's chariot is on its way.

Can you hear it coming?

Can you feel it?

Please, Lord, show us a sign.

Just one sign for these good people.

Come on back inside, Reverend.

Michael's chariot.

Thank you, Lord.

Thank you.

The First Lady OD'd in a D .C. crack house?

Yeah, makes the days of Betty Ford hitting the Aquavolves seem pretty tame,

doesn't it? Should have seen the headlines.

Well, this seems crazy. Where was the security?

She was notorious for giving the Secret Service the slip.

Amateurs. How much time do we have, Frank?

All hell breaks loose tomorrow.

I'll order up a Delta team.

Great, and, uh...

Listen, maybe you should send Donovan. It's his old neighborhood.

I think he could be of some help.

The jet will be ready in five minutes.

I'll be there in three.

Now comes the hard part.

No, man. No, man. This is not your call, Frank. That is not right.

I'm telling you, man. Just give me two minutes with this guy. Two minutes, and

I'll take care of it. Yeah, well, that's what you did in the last timeline. You

ended up screwed, blued, and tattooed, my friend.

All right, so what's your plan, then?

Let the Delta boys take care of the drug scale. You and I will find your sister,

get her some help.

I already tried to write her apart, but no answer. Any idea how to find her?

Yeah, I know a place to start.

Don't be afraid, child.

The Lord has sent a radiant light streaking to the darkness last night as

that he has not forgotten us.

He will give us strength, and his angels will lead us into salvation.

Tracy!

Craig! Craig!

It's so good to see you. What are you doing here?

We came to get you some help, baby. Everything's going to be okay.

How did you know?

Our line of work, we know everything.

You must be Reverend Flood. I've been away from the neighborhood for a while.

And you are?

What's happening?

A little neighborhood cleanup.

Thank you, Lord.

Lamar isn't...

First lady?

These guys are hiding anybody else in here.

Man, you know what?

Let's go. Who want die?

Go, baby.

Give me G.

Clear it, man.

I can't do this.

What you talking about you can't do this, man? You want to die up in here?

Let's go.

Go, G.

Drop it, Lamar. No problem.

Thanks. Crazy.

All right. We used enough manpower to overthrow your average banana republic,

and what did we get in return?

Five small -time bangers, some dope, and no trace at all of the First Lady.

Way to go, Parker.

Well, maybe we got there before she did, or maybe she got away in the confusion.

Who knows?

Or maybe you just screwed up, big time.

Well, in any case, I guess we'll have to stay on the job until we know she's

safe. I'll interface with the Secret Service and the FBI.

We'll keep in touch.

You were one sneaky sumbitch, you know that?

We're a good cause, my friend.

Let me see how Tracy and Lamar did.

Take the cafeteria here, Salvia.

When the special unit team made their strike, this was the hand of the

The Lord told me he was going to send Michael and his fiery chariot to help me

clean up our community.

And his mighty mission of mercy has just begun.

Is anyone not in jail?

Lamar. These two dudes took off with him separate.

I followed them.

They met up with his girlfriend and the preacher, booked off together.

You find out where Lamar is.

I can do that.

Come here.

You have a very big future, son.

That

crazy

preacher's been messing with my business for too long.

Yapping about heaven.

Well, we're going to help him get there quick.

What happened to you, Tracy?

Was it Lamar?

Did he put you up to this?

He was just trying to make some money so he could pay and get away.

But he started using and... So why didn't you leave him?

Because he's a good man.

We're going to get married.

I didn't know I was going to get up.

It's okay.

I'm here for you now, okay?

You hear me?

I'm gonna make sure everything's gonna be all right, okay?

Yeah.

Seems you always had more important things to do.

Yeah, well, you know, I'm a soldier, baby. I gotta go where they... where

sent me.

I know.

It's just sometimes I wish you would fight for the place, the people you grew

with.

I'm sorry.

I love you, Craig.

I love you, too.

When I was growing up, Frank, this place was safe, man.

It was clean.

Tracy's right, man. I've been away too long. I'm just a tourist.

Oh, you're back.

You saved her life and shut down a major drug operation.

Frank, man, we shut down one crack house on one corner for one day.

This time tomorrow, there'll be a whole new crew in here doing business as

usual.

Everybody else's little sister will die.

Look, man, I appreciate you coming down to help me out. I really do. But you can

go on back now.

I'm going to hang out and make sure Tracy's okay.

I know that look.

What look look you get when you're getting ready to take on something

bigger than you You're gonna need some help Come on

Oh

The man you want is Terrence Mowry he used to head up the police anti -gang

around here and now he runs the gang nice Does he ever come down, inspect the

merchandise? No, the man is ziplocked.

Operators like Clarence do all his running and buying for him.

Every dirty cop has one major weakness.

That's right, we gotta find his money drops. Mm -hmm, grab his cash and put

out of business.

Yeah, well, the church could use a new roof.

Amen to that.

Now, the Lord will provide.

I knew it as soon as I saw his instrument of deliverance last night. A

of blue fire blazing across the sky.

And now, Lord, you sent these two valiant avenging angels from St.

army. We're not exactly angels, Reverend.

Yeah, well, you're the closest thing to them that this community's seen.

The Lord's not going to take me until it's my time, and right now it's

definitely not my time. Whatever you say, Reverend, we just got to get you

the street. Yeah, but it's a place safe. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

We have a lot of work to do. Leave Mallory to us, okay? We are the

professionals, okay? That's right. Look, I'm going to do what the Lord commands

me to do, and I'll check you angels out later.

Is he okay?

Would you be okay in this neighborhood?

Lord, please open up these gates of hell and grant me passage so I may do thy

bidding.

Come on, Frank.

Thank you, Lord.

Mary!

LJ!

When I sharpen my sword, the wicked will fall back into the darkness.

How the hell did you get here?

There's a higher power than even you, Officer Mowry.

What do you want?

To redeem your soul from Satan's clutches.

You see, I got a sign from the Archangel Michael himself that the day of glory

is at hand.

So I'm here to give you one last chance to make amends before it's too late.

What sort of amends are we talking about?

Well, you could start by giving back the money you bled from our community.

You haven't got a gun in there, do you?

No.

The word of the Almighty is all the power that I need.

Oh, baby.

You got it?

Names, addresses, the whole damn money trail, man. Get the hell out of here.

Now, you and me will work for the same things.

Peaceful community, jobs.

Yeah, but your way has become Satan's way.

Look, I know you had some good in you once.

You were a police officer. You were supposed to be part of the solution.

Yeah, right.

Crush unit.

Watch a bureaucrat's milking one more angle to get another handout from the

taxpayers.

Hey, look, since I took over out there, there is no more gang problem.

You know, all those kids used to be killing each other.

Well, now they're working for me, and they're just putting cash in their

pockets. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them didn't turn out to be

CEOs. What about the others?

The ones who get hooked on that junk?

I provide an escape for those who can't take this life as it is. That's it.

It's not much different from what you do, right?

It just so happens that some of them like my way better. That's all.

Hey, it's a free country.

No matter what the law says.

You know...

I was wrong about you.

You're not a lost soul.

You're Satan himself.

Yeah, and you're as loony as a junkyard rat.

I don't fear you.

The Almighty protects me.

Michael's warrior angels.

Reverend Flood, what are you doing here, man?

God's work. The same as you.

We've been in time spots before.

Uh -huh.

Ready? Oh, yeah.

Somebody cut the main circuit.

We fired up the generator.

You know any of these people?

They're the ones who brought that army down.

And I found out where Lamar and his little hoe is, too. Over at the rehab

on Bronson.

You punk.

Deliver me mine enemies.

Isn't that something out of the Bible, Preacher?

Actually, it's delivering me from my enemies.

Whatever.

You know, maybe this is a sign from God.

A sign telling me it's time for me to move my operation.

The neighborhood has gone to hell.

Get rid of him.

And then go take care of Lamar and that little bitch.

Hey, little man.

You go with him.

It's about time you took a step up the ladder.

I see you're taking a big step down to hell.

You mean she was in a dry -out joint the whole time?

The Darby Institute has replaced Betty Ford as the in -place to rehab, and

apparently she's doing great.

Damn it.

The new Parker was lying about that crack house business.

He and Donovan are up to something.

Let's get them in.

Hey, Doc, you think you can reprogram that gizmo to track down two AWOL

reprobates? What, this? Not unless they were both magnetically encoded and

nobody told me.

Parker, where the hell are you?

Yo, Devin, I think I'm just gonna book, all right?

Man says you stay and watch. You stay and watch, little man.

On your knees!

Prefer to stand, thank you very much.

Ah! Think you're tough?

Put your gun down and we'll see who's got the nads here.

You kidding?

I got the nads and the gun.

You?

I do first.

You know, I thought I recognized you.

You're Joe Richardson's son.

Used to be in my youth choir.

Yeah, with your sister Maya.

Shut up.

I know your grandmother and your uncle and your aunt.

Shut up. You were raised better than this.

Look, do you talk to your people anymore?

Do you tell them that you take people's lives away with a gun?

Leave my family out of this.

Gravy, you okay?

Is he dead?

Got a gunshot victim here.

All right, bring him over here. We'll get him to the hospital.

All right, man.

Easy. Easy.

Wait, wait.

I have work to do. No, no, take it easy. Lay down right now. You're going to get

in it, man.

You take good care of him, okay?

All right?

All right.

Mallory said he was moving out. Where does he keep his stash?

Hey.

Hey. Walkman. I know you hear stuff.

Where does he keep his stash?

Oh, yeah.

There's a warehouse that's living in steel.

That's where the money moves through.

I have a chance to fix his roof.

Hey.

You want to ride?

Not where you're going.

We have a male gunshot victim.

It's an abdominal wound.

Need to transport as soon as possible. Priority one.

Yeah, roger that.

kid gave us the wrong intel.

Yeah, or Mallory got here before us.

Either way, the money's probably headed out of the city.

We can't just quit, Frank.

Mallory could be anywhere by now. So we call Talmadge, man. We come clean. Maybe

he can throw up some roadblocks or something. I don't know. Is that before

after he starts the court -martial process?

Where are you, Frank?

We're still in D .C., sir. Well, you and Donovan get your butts back here now.

Bradley, listen.

We stumbled upon something down here. It's big.

Bigger than Ben -Hur.

That's beside the point, and you know it.

Sir, it's me. You've done it. Frank had nothing to do with this. It was me,

okay? I went after the scumlord who runs that crack house in my own

neighborhood. I turned this into a personal mission. Okay, I had a shot at

making a difference and taking out a murderer. Now, if you've got a problem

that, then you can have my resignation.

Sir.

we do to help, Craig?

They want to help us.

You're kidding.

Uh, I don't know, sir. We, uh, we had him on the run, but we lost him. Uh,

name is Mallory.

Top dog cop gone way bad. He's probably on his way out of the country with God

knows how much drug money.

Gentlemen. We could put the transport hubs on alert. Uh, gentlemen.

Airports and train stations. Do it. Uh, you who, I have something. What?

About 20 million dollars moving toward the Anacostia River.

Coordinate with the DEA. Get some agents out there now.

Yes, sir.

Maybe you should say something.

Uh, I'm not sure where Reverend Flood is right now.

But I want to thank you all for your generous contributions to the New Rule

Fund.

Unfortunately, we're still a long way from our goal.

Reverend Flood!

Let's go. I want to be in Costa Rica by noon tomorrow.

You're grounded.

You keep

that stuff.

What the hell are you guys?

The archangel Michael is coming to our midst one last time to fulfill the

prophecy that I've foreseen.

I feel like Moses and

I'm looking out into the promised land.

But I know I'm not going to enter. Somebody call a doctor now.

You hear that?

That's Michael's chariot. You need to lie down, Reverend.

The righteous will be restored by the warm embrace of the Lord.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Well, if you've got to do community service, this is about as good as it

You know, Frank, man, you really went out on a limb for me.

You'd do the same. Come on.

I'll buy you a lemonade.

It's free.

It is?

I'll get you a cookie then.

Tracy!

Looking good!

Hey, you don't look so bad yourself.

I didn't even think about it.

Whoa.

Uh, Lamar, what are you painting there?

It beats me.

But it's what Reverend Flood wanted.

Well, you two, of all people, ought to recognize Michael's chariot. Reverend

Flood, how you feeling? Well, reports of my demise were greatly exaggerated, as

someone once said.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Amen to that.
