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.

- (Caws) - Because sometimes...

- love is stronger than death. - (Caws)

- (Man) It's not your fault. - (Evil laugh)

- (Child) No, no, no. - (Man) 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! - (Gunshots)

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 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. - (Snorts)

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, I...

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

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

I mean, this last... (Snorts) ...batch of yours,

it was bad. It was a hot mix.

I mean, Jesus Christ, Judah,

it was givin' 'em seizures. Whoa, get away.

Hey, Judah, your...

your brand... (Nervous laugh)

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 any more, 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.

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, love.

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 I... - (Gunshots)

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.

- (Giggling) - Spider Monkey!

- What's this tattoo look like to you? - This is a test?

Come on, man! Just tell me what you see!

- Come on! - A bird.

Think about this! Think! Think!

- Don't you see two demons? - No.

I see a bird.

- Fuck you, you fucking fool! - (Laughing, squealing)

And what's this in your ear?

Toro, toro!

- (Grunting) - Olrjé!

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!

- Danny! What are you doing? - Hmm? (Giggles)

- You think you're a man? Come on. - Yes. (Mock struggling)

Defence, defence. The face, the face.

- Yeah, yeah, good. - Aah! Help!

Want to do bullfighting? Huh? Do the bull.

- Come on. - Okay. Uuh!

Danny.

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!
