Adam's Testament

Everybody, that was Ax Steel, give 'em a hell of a hand!

I'm looking for someone, does this ring any bells?

Wait here.

- He's in the back. - Now, was that so hard?

Doing your fellow man justice.

Have a nice day.

Hey, Adam.

It's been a while.

You can't do this, you have no right.

Get off me.

A father has every right.

You can't arrest me, I haven't broken any laws.

I'm not arresting you, I'm temporarily restraining you.

On the contrary, you have broken the law.

Not according to the criminal code,

but according to the Book.

- What book? - The Book!

You once studied and cared about, you remember.

You think you're so damn honorable.

What you're doin' right now is illegal.

What am I doing, what about what you're doing?

- Look at yourself! - What?

I'm free to do whatever I wanna do whenever I wanna do it.

I've got my music, no rules, no guidelines.

No future, no life.

That's a matter of opinion, isn't it?

You live your life the way you want to, let me live mine.

You're my one and only son and you may not believe this,

but I love you.

Whatever.

I don't know what happened,

but what in God's name possessed you

to turn your back on everything you once loved?

I mean, you could have had anything,

I mean, anything you wanted!

You mean what you wanted.

All I've ever wanted was the best for you.

Can't you see that maybe it's not what was best for me?

Or what I wanted, I'm sick to death of being dictated

about what I'm supposed to do and how I'm supposed to do it.

I make my own damn decisions now.

Try spending one day, one day in my shoes.

I don't wanna fight.

I just wanna help you find your way.

And guide you the best way I know how.

Look, Dad, I just wanna go home.

Get some rest, I've been up for like 24 hours.

You look like it.

Alright, come on.

You can get in the front with me.

Get your hands off me.

You listen to me, I don't want anything to do with you,

or your pathetic code of ethics makin' out like you're

God's perfect little Christian.

You shut your mouth, don't you remember your mother?

My mother?

What about an eye for an eye?

Just like your Good Book, right?

How dare you mock God's word.

This is your life!

I didn't choose this life!

God's will did.

Your book is a lie.

I raised you and this is how you repay me?

I fed you, I cared for you!

I sacrificed my life for you!

You failed.

Adam!

Adam!

Adam!

Hah!

I still got it.

Hiya, Joe, what do ya know?

How's it goin', huh?

Been a long time.

Not long enough.

I thought I'd just pop in and see how you were doin'.

Father knows best, huh?

You know, a father's job is never done.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I agree, a father's job is never done.

But we just keep sluggin', don't we, preacher?

Stay away from my son.

Understand one thing, you'll never get your claws on him.

Not as long as I'm alive.

I don't see any claws.

I'll tell you what I see.

I see a kid who's as tired as I am of the Word.

Blessed is the man,

who does not walk in counsel of the wicked.

Come on, come on, enough with the cliches.

You see me wanderin' around with cloven hooves and,

and pointy red ears and,

fire-red eyes?

Do ya, screamin' at people.

Bow down!

Before Lucifer!

And his vortex of evil!

Oh, well.

I kinda miss the old days.

Long gone, oh well.

This too shall pass,

and the way of the wicked shall perish,

and the Lord shall be a shield about me.

Who's gonna shield you, fallen angel?

Who's gonna shield me?

I got news for you, Josepe, this is the neutral zone.

Remember?

This is my domain.

I've been here since time began.

This,

is my playground.

Not yours.

Watch out.

Here it comes.

You gotta take it by surprise.

Watch out, here it comes, watch out.

Here it comes.

You gotta take it by surprise.

- Good morning, dear. - Morning.

You have my word, I will come straight home.

Straight home.

Straight home.

Good morning!

Hey, listen.

Who's gonna look out for you if I don't?

You're right, I don't know what we'd do without ya.

Oh, well you'd probably starve to death

deciding who's gonna cook.

I don't know who's more stubborn, you or your father.

Yeah, well, I am my father's son.

Yes, you are, and I'm the lucky one who got you both.

I'm not gonna see you tonight, have a safe trip, okay?

- Thanks, Mom. - Love you.

He waits for a sign, but that sign never comes.

So he spends his entire life repenting with this feeling

that his god has forsaken him.

And maybe, just maybe,

if he really is a good little Christian,

his god will forgive him for whatever it is that he's done.

You wanna know what the funniest part is?

The whole time, God probably wasn't even listening.

He couldn't care less.

Let's get outta here.

Hard day at work, dear?

Have you thought about

what we talked about last week?

Next year's just around the corner.

I know, I just, I don't know yet.

What's there not to know?

What I wish I could do is focus on my band, though.

Great, there's always Juilliard.

Oh, Dad, see you later.

Go ahead, run away from your problems like always.

Yes, dear, whatever you say, dear, don't wait up!

Don't even bother coming back, I won't be here.

Not gonna deal with you later.

Disgusting.

Done.

Bye!

Bye bye!

Hey.

Hey!

Adam, wait.

Adam!

No.

Oh, no.

Oh, God, no.

Mom.

No, no!

What a shame.

Family gets ripped apart.

All this gets is a broken arm and a concussion.

I tell ya, if it was up to me,

he wouldn't even make it to the hospital.

I got this.

Hey.

Whatever you say.

'Atta boy.

A man was found dead in the back of an ambulance earlier

this morning after it went off a cliff

and burst into flames behind this industrial facility here.

Now, police do not suspect foul play,

but an investigation into the crash is underway,

as the bodies of the paramedics have not been found.

Thank you, Hal, now in the weather.

Looks like a nasty storm is coming your...

- You've gotta slow down. - Why, 'cause he says so?

No, because you're gonna kill us.

I'm not afraid to do, are you?
