Original subtitles

- [Alex] (crying) He's gone and,

and I pushed him there.

- [George] I was one of the responding officers

when his mom was murdered.

Grisly scene.

When I took that kid outta the car

he was 10 degrees colder than he should have been.

I felt like I'd been holding someone

that'd been dead for hours.

Point is, you didn't put him anywhere.

He'd been heading that way long before you knew him.

- I know.

I just shoulda seen this coming.

(fist thuds) (Charles groans)

(suspenseful music)

- [Dave] Nice work, Detective.

- [Lee] Get him the fuck inside.

I wanna have a little fun.

Come on Charles, we just wanna ask you a few questions.

(Dave and Lee laughing)

(metal creaking)

(door bangs)

- Backup's on the way.

Just in time to be late, as usual.

- I love a good countdown.

You know what we want.

What do you know?

(Charles laughing)

(Lee laughs)

Oh, this is gonna be good.

It's a loaded question, I know, so lemme rephrase it.

(fist thudding) (Charles groaning)

(Lee laughing)

Oh yeah!

- Lee, Lee.

Lee, Lee.

Lee, get off of him. - Get off of me!

(Charles crying)

I'm sorry, where are my manners?

(Charles groaning)

(Charles yelling)

- Fuck!

- Tell us or doctor brainfucker here

takes a core sample of your entire-

- Ah fuck you! - Fucking head.

(Lee laughs)

(door bangs)

- Let him go.

He's got no reason to fuck with you.

Keep it up and he will.

- Oh, I know he won't fuck with me.

Either of you will.

(ominous music)

(dramatic music)

- [Radio Announcer 1] Today marks the release of Les Sabo,

who many listeners may remember better as The Ghoul.

A man who was once both lauded and despised

for the brutally violent vigilante tactics he employed

in his quest to avenge the murder of his young mother.

And while many found his means to be a necessary evil,

everyone took notice and turned against The Ghoul

after he was convicted of murdering Lee Cross,

a detective with the Chicago Police Department.

Lee's partner, Dave Simmons, apprehended The Ghoul

and locked him away, where sympathy for his vendetta

has all but died.

Detective Simmons, on the other hand,

has gained notoriety for his perceived failure

to live up to the precedent

set by his father, Detective George Simmons.

- [Radio Announcer 2] Can we please talk

about this Simmons guy.

- [Radio Announcer 3] Being paid money

he doesn't deserve, and why-

- [Radio Announcer 4] Drinking (beep) vodka all-

- [Radio Announcer 5] Nothing short of a complete disaster-

- [Radio Announcer 6] Get rid of him!

- [Radio Announcer 1] Being released botched indictments.

(Dave coughing)

(Dave coughing)

- This should have been done years ago!

How the fuck can you expect me

to back off this piece of shit?

- Turn that fuckin' van around, right fuckin' now,

and stay the fuck away from him!

- This motherfucker dies, today.

- Get your ass back home.

I already have this taken care of.

- Sorry pops, it's not gonna happen.

- This isn't some ordinary piece of shit!

- (laughs) That's right, that's right, he's The Ghoul!

He's a skin eating boogeyman!

Sorry to disappoint you,

but I'm looking right at the motherfucker,

and he looks like an ordinary piece of shit to me.

I gotta go.

- Stupid fuckin' boy!

(van engine roaring)

(car engine roaring)

- Those are for werewolves.

(Mario laughs)

(gun bangs)

(tires screeching)

(Les groans)

- Remember kids, werewolf or ghoul, silver bullets

will still fuck you up.

Let's get a good look at this asshole for everyone to see.

Goddamn that's a big fuckin' hole!

I know you can't see it, but trust me, it's bad.

I don't see what the big deal is with this asshole.

(Van Goon screaming)

- Motherfucker!

- How's that feel?

How's that feel?

Not so fuckin' tough now are you?

(Les groans)

Pull this fuckin' van over!

(crows cawing)

- Please don't eat my skin!

- This is how I see it,

I'm going that way, you're going that way.

Your boss is a fucking dead man.

(crows cawing)

Now beat it. - Yeah.

(gun bangs)

- Fuck!

- Out drinking all night, again.

That's how you're gonna get him.

Keep it up.

Brilliant detective work, really.

You know what I would have done?

Of course not.

I'd have waited for him outside the prison this morning.

Fish in a barrel!

Even you couldn't have fucked that up!

- Goddammit!

Then why the fuck didn't you?

Just send one of your old cop buddies

to kill this piece of shit if it's so fucking easy!

- Now you're gettin' it.

(phone ringing)

- Hey Coop, how's it going?

- [Cooper] Fuckin' peachy.

Listen, I just got a call about a van full

of corpses outside of Joliet.

- The Ghoul?

- [Cooper] (chuckles) No,

probably one of the other murderers that got out today.

Dave.

- [Dave] Right, I'm on my way.

(door bangs)

(ominous rock music)

(door bangs)

(police radio chattering)

(police siren wailing)

- [Radio Announcer 8] Force, that one of the victims

in this brutal work van massacre

is none other than Mario Colosimo, son of the alleged boss

of the Chicago Outfit, Kenna Colosimo.

The Old Man, as he has come to be known,

has not been reachable for comment,

and his silence has only added more fuel.

- [Dave] Hey Coop.

How's it goin'?

Well, looks like out friend's been busy.

- He was definitely here.

Left behind four bodies, two shivs, one pistol,

and a trail of his own blood a half mile long.

No footprints though.

Fuckin' weird.

- Any witnesses?

- (chuckles) Not anymore.

We know from the blood that Les exited the vehicle

through the passenger side door and walked north.

But the spatter on the driver's side door

tells us the driver was shot from there.

And before these swingin' dicks

trampled all over the fuckin' scene,

there was a set of footprints that led up to the van,

then back about four yards to a separate set of tire tracks.

My point is, Les let this man go.

Someone else killed him after the fact

and took off in a hurry.

- Uh, well, I mean, couldn't, couldn't

those be from, I, I don't know, whoever called this in?

- [Cooper] It's possible, but the wound this man sustained

appears to have come from a higher caliber weapon

than that bloody Single Action Army.

- Okay, well let's just say there was another person,

uh, any leads on their identity or motive?

- No, nothin'.

- What, what a waste.

Hey, it's always good to see ya.

Um, if you think of anything else, give me call.

- [Cooper] Well, there is one other thing.

The shivs.

- What about 'em?

- I doubt he walked out of prison with them,

and I doubt they belonged to these corpses,

they all had guns.

Someone must have left them for him outside of the prison.

- Fuck, I think I know who that is.

- [Cooper] Who?

- Ah, it's just a hunch.

Um, it's personal, I'll take care of it.

- Fair enough.

I've got a new hunch of my own.

- I met Les when we were kids.

I was living with my dad in some dump,

just watching him drink himself to death.

Les was like 17,

he had a whole family of runaways that he looked after.

The street kids worshiped him.

(door pounding)

(door knocking)

(somber rock music)

Oh, we're gonna have to talk about this thing.

You're bleeding all over the place.

Aren't you going to say anything?

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Baby, you just slammed my head into the floor.

Shit's still kinda hazy.

- You don't suppose this giant bullet hole

in your chest has anything to do with it?

- [Les] No, (laughs).

No, it looks way worse

than it is. - Oh, God.

Let's get you up.

- I missed you.

- I missed you, too.

He's gotta be hiding somewhere.

(Stewart imitates barking)

- So my brother left and started running with them.

I stuck around, I tried to get my dad back.

He choked out on his own fuckin' vomit a month later.

And I used to think that that was my fault.

Like being stuck with me

was what made him finally

take that last step off the cliff.

Look, I remember noticing that

when I used to come here and get tattooed.

- Yeah, I remember bringing you here.

I thought that guy was a friend of yours.

- Fuckin' asshole.

Guy got really grabby, grabbed my tit.

I ended up knocking him the fuck out.

Tattooed a dick on his neck.

Things didn't work out so well after that.

about this particular symbol?

- [Les] I saw it in a mirror.

- [Jo Jo] Did you see him?

- Him?

- [Jo Jo] He has a name, and his name is Elion.

- [Les] Elion?

- Elion sent you because of,

something he needs.

- This?

- Yes, that's it.

- What is it?

- It's a relic.

I can see it quite vividly,

though I haven't the slightest idea of what it's for.

A key without a lock.

(Jo Jo laughs)

I'm just the ferryman.

- [Les] What the fuck just happened?

- [Jo Jo] We've come to the bridge.

- [Les] Bridge to where?

- [Jo Jo] Something tucked away in another plane

for imprisoning 10 years ago.

He has so far been unreachable for comment.

Crowds continue to gather in neighborhoods

from Rogers Park all the way down to South Shore

to show their support for The Ghoul's cause.

(door knocking)

(Stewart imitates barking)

- Les!

- [Les] Stewart.

- We all missed you.

It's been too long.

- Don't remind me.

- Come on in.

Charlie's anxious to see you.

(Stewart imitates barking)

- Holy shit!

The perfect person to cheer an old man up.

- What're you, like 23 now?

- [Charlie] 23's a long time for a rat.

- You smell like shit.

- Nah, you're just used to that fancy prison livin'.

Swappin' cum rags and bunk fuckin'!

But please, allow me to be the first

to welcome you back to the gutter!

- [Les] I'm not sure I ever left.

- It's good to see you, man.

- I need you to look after Alex for me.

- Sis, are you fucking kidding me?

She can look after herself, I'm afraid of her.

- This is different.

I'm ending this tonight.

- Tell you what.

Give her this number, call it.

It's a cop.

(laughs) Don't worry about it, I got this dick

by the balls. - She'll be safe here.

- No she fuckin' won't, because you and I

are about to stir up some serious shit,

and the first fuckin' place they're gonna look is here.

Now, you wanna get this fuckhead back?

The one that killed your mother?

Stole your soul?

This, is the perfect opportunity to lure him out.

Hit him hard.

I know these two women, Cindy, Debbie.

Great friends, but even better dominatrixes!

They're known for being the best,

and they keep an exclusive clientele,

and you could not imagine who is there.

- Get to the point.

And don't insult my imagination.

- Okay, okay, okay, okay, his name is Lou Manalti.

- Lou the Jew.

(Lou burps)

- The Old Man's number two.

- No shit.

- [Charles] I thought you might like that.

And that, is where you come in.

- Won't he have a lookout?

- Yes, just one guy, stays outside.

(Bodyguard screaming)

And then that's where you come in.

You get to deliver that message,

courtesy of that beautiful imagination

I know you so highly regard.

It's perfect.

- [Lou] Come on, I just,

I was just havin' fun with the girls.

Let me go.

Come on, what're you doing man?

We don't want to mess around man,

I'm just a guy with some girls

who are having a little lunch.

We don't want to mess around.

and bullets holes ripped off all at once.

It's kind of funny.

But he always, he always got like shot, or stabbed,

or sliced, or something,

every fucking time.

You need to help me.

- Who the fuck are you?

- [Alex] Listen, we haven't met yet,

but you know my brother Charles.

- I do, he's an asshole, so what?

- You owe that asshole,

and if you don't want your gun jammed up-

- All right, all right. - Your fucking ass.

- Where are you?

- Wrigleyville Dog, you know it?

Hello.

Who the fuck are you?

- Dave, Detective Dave Simmons.

Your brother told me to come here.

I guess now I know why. - We gotta get the fuck

out of here, where's your car?

- It's over there.

Whoa, Charles told me to help Les.

- You're not much of a fucking cop, are you?

- I'm not a cop, honey, I'm a dick.

- Yeah, no shit.

- You know what, I've got better things to do

than babysit some asshole's whore sister.

(fist thuds) (Dave groans)

- Let's get one thing straight,

I will wreck your ass, every fucking time.

- [Police Dispatcher] All available units,

report to 1348 West Fullerton Avenue.

Reported sighting of the criminal known as The Ghoul.

- [Radio Announcer 1] Not bode well for anyone involved

in this brawl, including The Ghoul,

who eyewitnesses have placed at the scene.

If reports coming in- - Stay here.

- [Radio Announcer 1] Are to be believed,

the crowds may not have a cause to rally behind.

- What's the word? - Well, we got a corpse

upstairs burnt to shit,

and according to these two guys, a ghost did it.

- Kinda reminds you of fatback, doesn't it?

- So what, what's your theory?

What do you think happened?

- Too hungry to really care, actually.

Besides, aren't theories your job Detective?

(energetic electronic music)

(light whooshes)

(door rumbling)

(door thuds)

- [Dave] Appears your boyfriend was taken by ghosts.

- What?

- Fuck, I don't know!

There was a sheet of skin up there.

Pieces of skin, sewn together.

Look, I'll take you somewhere safe.

You've gotta get me caught up on the way.

(suspenseful music)

(car engine roaring)

- He told us that he was searching for his soul.

Man, we hung onto his words like gospel.

It brought us together, gave us purpose.

And that was something that none of us had ever experienced.

We needed him.

- So you knew he was killing people all over the city

and you still think he's a fuckin' saint?

- My dad killed himself rather than take care of me,

and Les, he took me in with no question.

He provided for me.

- Provided for you?

What the fuck did he provide for you by killing my partner?

- That's who you fuckin' are!

Your partner nearly beat my brother to death!

- Your brother was withholding information on a crime family

we'd been investigating for months!

Lee was interrogating him! - Bullshit!

- Now look, you're both acting like fuckin' assholes!

Now sit the fuck down and let's finish talking!

Now tell her your side of the story, tell her what you saw.

- Why?

- Because maybe you can settle something

like a reasonable person for once.

- Fine.

We were chasing your asshole brother through Humboldt Park.

(Lee laughing)

(rock music)

- You fuck!

Fuck!

- [Lee] Tell us or doctor brainfucker here

takes a core sample of your entire-

- Fuck you! - Fucking head.

(Charlie crying)

(Lee laughing)

(door bangs)

- [Les] Let him go.

He's got no reason to fuck with you.

Keep it up and he will.

- Oh, I know he won't fuck with me.

Neither of you will.

(lights click) (ominous music)

(dramatic rock music)

(skin crackling)

(police sirens wailing)

- So you didn't actually see anything.

- I saw enough.

Besides, who else could of done it?

- I don't know, maybe the same fuckin' people

that fried that guy tonight!

- You mean person, as in Les.

- Oh, let me ask you something detective,

if Les could fry anybody attacking him,

why the fuck would he wait until after his skin

had been ripped off to do it?

- She's got you there.

- Except for the fact that this

doesn't make any fucking sense!

- None of it does!

We need to be out there trying to find what's left of him.

- You're right.

Why am I sitting here listening to your bullshit

when Les is the one I'm after?

I'm going to Wrigleyville.

- The hotdog joint?

- Your brother told me to hang out there.

You got a better lead?

- Coop came by earlier.

He was asking some strange questions.

- What kind of questions?

- He was asking if your gun was around,

and he was lookin' at your shoes on the way out.

Son, if Coop thinks you're into something,

you better straighten it out.

Friend or not, he'll nail your ass to the wall.

- Son?

- Look, just don't be a hero.

I mean this in the best possible way, you're not.

(foreboding music)

- My faithful.

You have fought alongside me

and for me in order to see this day.

(staff thuds)

The end of our struggle against nothing.

The end of our bondage to the unseen.

One final sacrifice stands watch over our prison.

Our fate is his burden.

His burden, our liberation.

(brooding piano music)

- [Radio Announcer 1] Crowded into parks and bars

all over the city await word of The Ghoul's resurgence.

Nothing has been seen or heard of him

since his mysterious disappearance from the Liar's Club.

And while this outcome.

- Spot me some cash.

- [Dave] ATM's across the street.

- How the fuck are you gonna pay?

Fucking dick.

- Fuck!

(rock music)

What, are you following me around or something?

- You're an easy man to find, Simmons.

I smelled the whiskey on your breath the whole way here.

Come here, I gotta talk to you.

- The fuck are you doing man?

Let go of me!

- Shut the fuck up already!

I know you killed the driver of that van.

- Are you fucking serious? - You're goddamn right

I'm serious, and I'm the only one amongst us

with a fuckin' gun.

Where's yours, Detective?

Where'd you ditch it, where'd you drop it?

I'm coming for you

Ain't got the balls to fight me one on one, huh?

- We're not fighting you.

We're ending you.

(foreboding music)

(suspenseful electronic music)

What's wrong with you?

- I am dying.

We are interlocking pieces of some greater whole.

Compelled to act, not out of love or hate.

Just a gray void of emotion and compulsion

indistinguishable from each other

slowly, and always pulling you forward.

(rock music)

It wore on me.

It burnt me out.

I have wanted to die for a long time.

- What?

- [Elion] He imprisoned me to prevent it.

Knowing we share a singular fate.

But I learned that we cannot be killed, only replaced.

So I led you to my prison,

took you apart, and rebuilt you to replace us.

But there is something special about you, Les.

You're a killer.

- He made me this way, I killed to get to him.

- No.

You've butchered a lot of people, in vicious ways,

and sewed their skin onto your body.

The urge to kill became a part of you.

- Les.

You ready to go home?

- Revenge is how you justified it.

You're a murderer, Les.

And I had to make a sacrifice,

so that I could die.

- Fuck you Elion.

- There's nothing waiting there for you.

You cannot have her back.

When I die, you will feel nothing for her.

Only a compulsion towards some unseen purpose

without any possibility of salvation.

(Alex gasps)

It is what you deserve.

Welcome to the cycle.

Everything is everything.

(birds chirping)

(car engine roaring)

(metal clanging)

- I quit the force.

- Good.

Respect is often won through the unpopular choice.

If being your own man was easy everyone would do it.

(soft electronic music)

- [Radio Announcer 1] Many are already beginning

to fear the worst. (gun bangs)

That our local hero may have finally fallen victim

to his own personal crusade.

The only information we have comes

from Detective Kyle Cooper,

and while the detective's- - Dick.

- [Radio Announcer 1] Full statement has not

yet been released we do know

that he reports seeing The Ghoul at the scene.

Beyond that, the details that shape the final chapter

of this story are yet unknown to us.

And even if the worst proves to be true,

that Les was never able to enforce the justice he deserved,

perhaps we can take solace in the fact that he.
