Original subtitles

I believe there is a place where the restless souls wander.

Burdened by the weight of their own sadness,

they wait for a chance to set the wrong things right.

Only then can they be reunited with the ones they love.

Sometimes a crow shows them the way.

- Because sometimes...

- Iove is stronger than death.

- It's not your fault.

- No, no, no. - We didn't see.

Let him go! He's just a kid!

He can't hurt you!

I'm scared, Dad. Please, Dad, I'm sorry.

- No!

Gabriel...

it's been a long night.

Caressing the marble and stone

Caressing the marble and stone

Ah, love that was special for one

The waste in the fever I feel

How I wish you were here with me now

They call this "The City of Angels,"

but all I see around me are victims.

It's the city of drugs...

and of darkness.

The city ofJudah Earl.

Got a name?

Grace. So what?

My name is Sarah.

Listen, Grace, maybe you want to get some hot coffee...

and a little bit of food.

What do you want?

Nothing.

Do you want to eat here?

We all have our pleasures.

For some, it's the flesh.

And we provide for them.

For others, it's the drugs.

- And we provide for them too.

Our products feed this entire city.

While other kingdoms fall around us,

we've succeeded...

by being of a single mind.

Succeeded with guidance from a darker world, Judah.

Do you love me, Sibyl?

All must love you.

Really?

Then why did this sad-eyed sack of shit betray me?

Hey, well, l...

Hey, l-l-l-I didn't betray you, Judah.

L-l-I did it for the business, you know?

I mean, this last... Batch of yours,

it was bad... it was a hot mix.

I mean, Jesus Christ, Judah,

it was given 'em seizures... whoa, get away.

Hey, Judah, your...

your brand...

It should inspire trust, right?

I mean, come on, we can't kill off all the motherfuckers, huh?

I mean, hey, whoa, there'd be no one left to buy the shit.

So you destroyed 80 keys of product without my consent.

Hey, hey, back off!

Get the fuck away from me!

Look at this, Judah. You're surrounded by these fuckin' freaks, man!

You don't even leave this fun house anymore, man!

I mean, you have no idea what the shit is doing to people...

out on the streets, man.

It could ruin your fix with the cops. I'm not bullshittin'.

I mean, it's bad for business, huh?

All right, then.

Let's see how bad this batch of ours really is.

Hey! Whoa! Hey!

What the fuck is goin' on?

We're volunteering you for a little quality control.

Oh, jeez, Judah. I'll make it up to you, I swear!

But you are. Weren't you listening before, Bassett?

I said we all have our pleasures.

Mine is the pain of others.

Guess you were right, Bassett.

That was a bad batch.

- Whoo!

I'm almost done.

- Are you okay? - It stings a little.

That's why they call me the mistress of pain.

I'll get the other book out for you.

Let's see this masterpiece. Go ahead, turn around.

Whew. Spin 'round a little.

Ho, ho, ho. There's nothin' I can do for you, luv.

Christ, what a downer!

Some kid asked me to tattoo,

"If you can read this, you're standin' too close."

Right on her bum.

I tell ya, I've had it.

Well, it's better than pushing ink in Detroit.

Well, you can say that again, darlin'.

You can say that again.

- I got a little present for you. - You did?

They do them for the Day of the Dead.

Thank you.

"Necrophagia,"darlin'... eat the dead.

"Life is just a dream on the way to death."

I like that.

Do you want to come have a beer, girl?

Um, no, I can't.

I gotta go home. I haven't been getting that much sleep lately.

And what is the dirty dog's name?

No, I've just...

I've just been having these really, really strange dreams.

I know.

Sleep with angels.

Sleep with angels.

- Did l...

No!

Talk to me, Sibyl. Tell me what you see.

I see death returning from the vale of tears.

Look at them down there,

swarming through the streets like insects.

It's the same each year, isn't it?

Lighting their little candles.

Whispering their wasted prayers.

This time is different, Judah.

This time someone is coming for you.

He has your name on his tongue.

It's finally beginning, isn't it?

What mask will death wear?

Can you tell me that?

I see the face of one of your victims.

All my sins remembered.

And what's this in your ear?

Toro, toro!

Ole!

Look.

Who are you?

Sarah.

I had a dream about you.

I saw them shoot you and your son.

I saw you drowning.

How did I survive?

You didn't.

You're dead.

No!

No!

This isn't real.

None of this is real.

No!

Where will we go

Oh, where will we go

This ghost follows

Hey, Dad.

- Yeah? - Look, I made this.

- Who are they? - These people?

- Yeah. - That's you and me.

That's me? And the thing on top over there?

That? That's a blue sun.

- A blue sun? - Yeah, a blue sun.

What was that?

Danny, stay here!

Danny!

Come here. Come here.

Danny!

See. No. Evil.

No! No!

You can run.

Run! Uuh!

No! No!

Dad!

No!

I want to help you.

Danny.

He's not here anymore.

I know.

What's your name?

Ashe.

There's a reason why you've been brought back, Ashe.

To find the people who did this to us.

To make them pay.

These were Danny's paints, weren't they?

Hey, old man Got something for you

Does the corpse have a familiar face?

Flowers for the dead, se�or?

We killed you, man. You're dead!

Sorry to disappoint you.

Stop wasting your breath, Angelito.

There's nobody out there listening.

I'm all your nightmares... rolled into one!

Wuh-aah!

Aa-aa-aah!

Oh, geez! No way, man!

Fuck! Oh!

This shit's flammable, man.

The others. Who are they?

- Huh? - Nemo,

Kali, Curve and Judah.

I'll start with Nemo...

And then work my way up the food chain.

Where is he?

Nemo? He's an old pervert.

He hangs out at the Peep-O-Rama on... Deacon Street.

Congratulations, Monkey!

You just bought yourself a fighting chance!

Pick a card, Monkey.

Come on.

Come on.

Lady Luck's... a bitch.

Oh...

Jesus, man. Come on, man.

Come on, come on, come on.

You're wasting your breath, Angelito.

Nobody's up there listening.

I got bad news.

Someone torched the lab on Manchester.

Spider Monkey's a fucking crispy critter.

Monkey I couldn't care less about.

What about our merchandise?

It's a total loss.

He left a sign, didn't he?

I don't know what you're talkin' about.

Yes, you do.

You've seen it.

You've been marked.

Jesus Christ.

Judah, why the fuck do you listen to her?

Because she speaks the truth.

What's this, Curve?

A beauty mark?

And all the world will be in love with night.

And pay no worship to the garish sun.

Noah?

Yeah.

Do you believe in Fate?

Seems to me it is a question of...

Fate believin' in you.

We're closed for the night!

Open the fucking door!

I said, we're closed.

Aah!

Fucker!

Think what you did to me was funny?

God!

Some kind of joke?

Stop!

Hurts me!

Huh? Huh?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm talkin' about this fuckin' tattoo you gave me!

Look at this shit!

It's a crow.

You're goddamn right it's a crow.

Did I ask you for a fuckin' bird on my chest? Did I?

I was going from the fucking design that you gave me!

Stop it! Stop it!

O-Oh!

Well...

What's it gonna be, hero?

Ready to kiss your faggot ass good-bye?

I think you're shittin' yourself, you're so goddamn ready.

Fuck you! Uuh!

You fucking piece of shit!

Get up.

I'll be seein' you...

Sugarplum.

Simple choice to fall away Fall away

Away, away, away

Away

Why is the world

Falling on me

Are you okay?

Well, fuck me.

What are they going to be snorting next?

I can't take this anymore.

Don't worry, love.

Everything will work itself out.

Fuckin' shit, motherfucker!

Smile, sister.

Whoo! Hey!

This is a recording.

Tokens for the bunny booths.

Live girls.

Tokens for the bunny booths.

Live girls. It's his wreck. It's all right.

Mmm. Is that for me?

Yeah.

We're gonna celebrate Christmas a little early this year.

Mmm. Keep doin' that, baby, you're gonna go blind.

Time's almost up, lover.

Hurry with those tokens.

Four crows...

A boy.

Let him go! He's just a child.

Uuh! Uh! Aah!

Five crows. Silver!

Six crows. Gold!

Seven crows. A secret never to be told!

Aah! Stop the fuck... Aah! Please!

No, please!

- Please, just stop! I can't... - Look at me!

Lights! Camera! Action!

You killed my son, Nemo.

You took away the only piece of light left in my soul.

We had to! We had to! It wasn't our fault!

Was Judah's orders. Never leave any witnesses.

We didn't have any choice.

We always have a choice!

- Tokens for the bunny booths. - Go, let's go!

- Live girls.

- Tokens for the bunny booths.

Live girls.

Tokens for the bunny booths.

In my room I want you here

Now we're gonna be face to face

And I lay right down in my favorite place

Holy fuck.

Do you know what they call a gathering of crows... Curve?

A murder.

A murder of crows.

Think about it.

Can I help you?

I'm sorry, Father.

I was just watching.

Our doors were open.

What's all this for?

Dia de los Muertos. Day of the Dead.

We light candles for our loved ones...

so they might find their way back to Earth.

Tomorrow night we will celebrate.

The people will dance and sing and some will wear masks.

Why?

Some spirits linger here too long.

They become confused,

mistaking themselves for the living.

They must be frightened away.

Santa Muerte. Santa Muerte.

No soporte. No lo soporte.

Santa Muerte. No soporte.

Maybe there is another way.

- How... How'd you do that? - Magic.

Blow on it. Go on.

Like birthday candles.

You have power just like I do.

You have power over this.

That's him!

That's the son of a bitch I dumped off the pier, I know it.

I saw you kill him.

Look, you wanna tell yourself some bullshit fairy tales,

that's your business.

I'm not gonna sit here

with a fuckin' target on my chest.

I'm gonna take this motherfucker out.

You won't stop him with guns or knives.

He doesn't feel pain.

His soul has crossed over.

So how do you stop a man who's already dead?

Can you look Destiny in the eye...

without flinching?

You tell me.

The crow is his source of power.

His link between this world and the next.

Sever that link, and he's as vulnerable as the next man.

You came back.

Were you married?

My ring... It belonged to some friends.

Where are they now?

A better place.

What about you?

Danny's mother left after he was born.

She was a drug addict.

What happens to me...

when I finish what I'm supposed to do here?

You go back.

With no regret

And what if I don't want to go back?

That tattoo on your chest... Who gave it to you?

Some bitch down at the Gargoyle.

What's that got to do with anything?

Everything, you idiot! Find her.

If she gave you his mark,

she's connected to him in some way.

She can lead us to him. Fool!

What do you people want?

A house in the country.

A little dog.

A wife.

Two kids...

And your fucking head stapled to my pussy seat.

Listen...

We're only looking for Sarah.

Where is she, Noah?

I ain't gonna tell you that.

But I think you are.

Last chance, love.

Go fuck yourself, you dried-up bitch!

I took Danny last summer.

We went up on the bike.

Rode all the way up the coast.

It was cold, I remember.

We could see our breath.

Look at me.

Ashe?

L-Look at me.

No. No.

We can't do this.

I have to find the others.

I have to finish what I started.

Hey, Dad.

Yeah?

Look.

Who are they?

These people down here?

Yeah.

That's you and me.

Sleep with angels.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to look.

It's not your fault.

- Lights! - Look at me!

It's not your fault. You understand?

Action! Action! Flowers for the dead, se�or?

No!

No te parla, cabron!

Stop wasting your breath, Angelito.

Let him get out!

Let him alone!

He's just a kid!

What about the kid?

Pain is my power.

Kill them both.

Let him alone!

Let him alone!

He's just a kid!

He doesn't even know who you are.

Don't, please, don't.

Hush, little baby. Please don't cry.

I beg you! I beg you, please!

Kali's gonna give you eternal life.

Don't! No! Aah!

No! Aah!

Nothing personal, sport.

I guess you were just in the wrong place...

at the wrong time.

Dump 'em!

Bon voyage, shitheads.

Ah! Hah!

Sarah's gone.

Ghost man.

Where is she?

You took my son's life.

Some people are just born victims.

Hush, little baby Please don't cry

Do you know how to fight?

Do you know how to die?

Yah!

Come on.

Hah!

Hi! Hah!

Do you want to dance?

Kali's gonna give you eternal...

Hah! Ah!

Ah!

Hush, little baby...

Shh.

Don't say a word.

N... No!

Daddy's gonna buy you a big, black bird!

When I first heard the sound

I couldn't put it down

It made my life complete

Ah, give it to me. Yeah.

Ain't it neat

And you know I like it when you

Spit

Oh, I like it when you

Spit

Naughty boy!

And when you do that

You know I'm getting wet

Wear me on your head

Yeah, that's what I said

I wanna be your rock and roll

I wanna be your rock and roll

I wanna be your push and pull

and it's only 'cause

I like it, whoo

Girl, I like it

Whoo, girl I like it

Oh, yeah

Waaahh!

Nothing personal,

sport.

Hey!

Look out!

Ow!

Fuck you, bird dick!

Time's up, Curve!

My naked cousin

I see him running

All over his land

Scared as a chick-a-chicken

His naked skin fries

Fries in the sun

But my, my naked cousin

Can cook 'til he's good, good and done

He's running

He's running

He's running

Baby, he's running

He's running

He's running

He's running

Yeah!

Wrong place. Wrong time.

Eh, Curve?

Do you think I'm afraid of you?

You fucking freak! Do you think I'm afraid?

You think I'm afraid?

Can you hear me, Curve?

You're going to die now.

People used to put coins in the mouths of the dead.

Do you know why?

So they could pay the ferryman to take them across the river Styx.

What's this?

Open your mouth, Curve.

I want to thank you for showing me my pain, Curve.

You made me what I am.

Flores.

Flores para los muertos.

Flores.

Flores.

Flores para los muertos.

Flores.

Where am I?

The tower.

Everyone finds their way here eventually.

What happened to you?

Fate happened to her.

Sibyl's been cursed with the gift of prophecy.

Judah Earl.

She sees things that are fated to happen.

She cut out her eyes with a carving knife...

because she wanted to make the visions stop.

But that only made the visions stronger, didn't it, dear?

Why did you bring me here?

I'm glad you asked that, Sarah.

You've got a very important part to play

in this little drama of ours.

I intend to capture the crow,

and you, my dear,

are the birdseed.

Sarah.

First you smiled at no one

I found you first

They've grown fine inside of you

But it hurts if I even see you Make you smile

I look over and cry

But that's too bad Get stuck for nothing at all

Look at yourself You ain't no genius

You won't to find You won't find me

Go!

Go!

Look who's come home to roost.

Aah!

But that's too bad.

You'll get what you pay for

Look at yourself You ain't no genius

You want to find You won't find me

I'm coming home when I go

Aah

Ashe is here.

First you fight me

I found you first

They've grown fine inside of you

Do you know what these are called?

Misericords.

Wonderful name, isn't it?

In the Dark Ages, these were used to deliver the death stroke...

to the mortally wounded.

They were considered tools of mercy.

Easy.

Easy.

Ah!

Oww!

Aah!

Ashes, ashes,

- Oh! - We all fall down.

No!

You have taken his power.

He is only a man now.

Ah.

Hey, Dad!

If you give up now, we won't be together.

Danny!

Judah!

What... What are you?

I'm your shadow, Ashe.

Every angel's got a devil.

I've tasted the blood of the crow and taken your power!

The crows. They are the souls who have come before Ashe.

They are crying for the people they have lost.

Now they have come for him.

Looks like the dead have forsaken you, my friend.

- Look at you! - Go to hell!

Already been there!

And I must confess, I liked what I saw!

Where's your strength, huh? Where's your power?

You're nothing now, Ashe.

Not even a ghost.

- You want death? - Yeah!

There he is, people! Take a good look!

Uh! If you whip him, does he not bleed?

Ashe!

Aah!

Sarah.

Sarah! Sarah!

Judah!

Aah!

Oh!

You can't stop me anymore, Ashe.

You haven't got the power.

There's nothing but pain for you now.

Pain is my power.

Take him!

Aah!

You can't die.

Oh, God.

I believe there's a place where the restless souls wander...

burdened by the weight of their own sadness.

They wait for a chance to set the wrong things right.

Only then can they be reunited with the ones they love.

Sometimes a crow shows them the way...

because sometimes love is stronger than death.

Rock on, gold dust woman

One less challenge Pick your path and I'll pray

Wake up in the morning
