The Crow: City of Angels

- -

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, love is stronger than death.

- -

- It's not your fault! -

- No! No! - What did he see?

Let him go! He's just a kid!

- He can't hurt you! - I'm scared, Dad.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

- -

Gabriel, it's been a long night.

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 of Judah 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 wanna go 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, Sybil?

All must love you.

Really?

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

Hey, well, I... I didn't betray you, Judah.

I... 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 giving them 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.

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

So you destroyed 80 ki's of product without my consent.

Hey, hey, back off! Get the fuck away from me.

Look at this, Judah.

You are surrounded by these fuckin' freaks, man.

I mean, you don't even...

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

I mean you have no idea,

what this shit is doing to people out on the streets, man.

I mean, it could ruin your fix with the cops, Judah.

You know, I'm not bullshitting.

I mean... I mean, it's... 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 going on?

We're volunteering you for a little quality control.

Oh, Jesus. Judah, I'll... 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.

Oh, sh...

Guess you were right, Bassett.

- - That was a bad batch.

- -

- I'm almost done. Are you okay? - It stings a little.

Well, that's why they call me the mistress of pain.

I'll get the other book out.

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

Spin round now.

There's nothing I can do for you, love.

Christ, what a downer! Some kid asked me to tattoo,

"If you can read this,

you're standing too close," right on her bum.

- - I tell you, I've had it.

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

Well, you can say that again, darling. You can say that again.

I got a little present for you.

- You did? - Mmm.

They do 'em for the Day of the Dead.

Thank you.

Necrophagia, darling. Eat the dead.

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

I like that.

Do you want to come and have a beer, girl?

Um. No, I can't. I gotta go home,

I... 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. -

You sleep with angels.

You sleep with angels.

Did I...

No! No! No!

- -

- -

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

I see death returning from the veil 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!

- - Olé!

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!

- -

- -

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? - Yeah.

That's a blue sun.

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

- Mmm. What was that? - Danny! Stay here!

Danny!

- -

- - Come here. Come here.

- - Danny!

- -

See no evil.

- Get 'em, Monkey! - Run! Run!

Leave him alone!

- - Dad!

No, no!

I wanna help you.

- Danny? - He's not here anymore.

No. No.

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.
