All language subtitles for Lazarus (2021)_track4_[eng]

- What if I told you that
three nights ago I died.

Let's start from the beginning.

This city is a ghost
of its former self.

Overrun by crime and poverty.

Ruled by an organization that
uses pain and fear to control.

I made a stand against
them and it cost me my life

but there was something waiting
for me on the other side.

And in that moment I knew

that this world would
never be the same.

- Plan on giving me a hand?

- Hey, this is why
we don't take calls

in this part of town Nina.

We out here for five seconds,
everybody, we already popular.

Everybody, look,.

- I thought you Latinos were
hard, fiery and all that.

- Yeah, we are fiery
in the bedroom,

not in a crack alley full of.

- Cut the shit and
back me up, okay?

- I got you boss, take it easy.

- Grab my kit.

He's barely breathing,
we gotta move him now.

- Okay, I'm gonna
get the gurney.

- You got it?

- I got it, I got it.

- Damn.

You fine as hell.

- Hey, woo hoo, Earth to Nina.

You want some private time or
you wanna get him out of here?

He's lost
a lot of blood,

I'm a start a morphine IV drip.

- How we doing back there?

- Damn it.

There's no rush, he's gone.

- Where am I?

- In the back of an ambulance.

You were shot, we tried
to save you but you died.

- Thank you for your help.

- I'm your salvation

Give me a reason
to spare your life.

- I swear I didn't do this,
I swear I didn't do this.

It was these fucking guys,
these fucking guys robbed me.

Please, I tried to fight
them, there was too many.

I tried to fight.

Please, come on I ran.

I ran, what was I supposed to
do, there was so many of them.

They had fucking guns.

What was I supposed to do?

Tes, I've been loyal to you,
Tes, I've been loyal to you.

Please give me time,
please give me time

I'll make this right?

I'll make this right.

Please Tes.

- You lost 50 pounds
of pure synth.

That's gotta be worth a
million dollars easy, right?

- I'll fix it,
just give me time.

- You see, there's
nothing that you

can do in this world
to make this right.

Tes.

- But find comfort
in this my brother.

That in your death you
will serve as a reminder

to all the others that
weakness is not tolerated.

Very proud.

- Please Tes.

- Sir, he's done.

He won't be causing
you anymore trouble.

- Where's his body?

- Dumped in the alley down town.

Made it look like a mugging.

- You're sure he's dead?

- There's no mistake.

Ray Lazarus is dead.

- Good.

I got some personal
matters to attend to.

Take care of this one
and report back to Poet.

- Ember.

Welcome to Paradise
City, is this not

what I promised you or what?

- You know how
much valuable time

I've wasted waiting for
you in this shit hole?

- Nah, you wanna
tell me about it?

- 100 pounds of synth, premium
grade just like I promised.

- That's good, you came
through, I'm proud of you.

- Money first.

- Oh what, you don't trust me?

All right.

Yo G, show her the money dude.

Cool?

- Yeah.

Nice doing business with you.

- Now hold up.

Business ain't done yet.

So check this out,
we're gonna keep

the synth and the
money, think about that.

- You know who
you're stealing from?

What he'll do to you and your
boyfriends when he finds out?

- Yeah well we're stupid,
we don't give a fuck.

Hey dog, do me a favor man.

Grab that shit and
shut this bitch up.

What the fuck you guys
doing, get her ass.

♪ The sky is falling
until the morning ♪

- This it?

- Yeah.

This is it.

- Hey if you don't
mind me asking Sarg,

Why come back?

Why now?

- Settle a debt.

- I know that look.

From the sounds of it,
you're gonna need some help.

Myself and some of the
boys from the old unit,

we're still around so, you make
that call, we got your back.

Semper Fi, do or die.

- Faithful to the core.

- Watch your six.

- Get the fuck away from me.

- No, no, no, no,
we can't do that.

Listen, I just got through
doing a six year bit

and I ain't seen nothing as
pretty as you in a long time.

I promise I'll be gentle.

- Hey!

I'm sure whatever
you're looking for

you can find somewhere else.

Just leave her alone
guys, let her go.

- You know you look like you had

a fucked up night
already play boy.

You know I think it would
be in your best interest

to go on and get the
fuck up out of here.

Oh don't worry about her,

we gonna take good
care of her, I promise.

Scouts honor.

- I can't let you do that.

- You deaf motherfucker?

I said get the fuck
up out of here before

I turn that pretty mug
of yours inside out.

- He's fucking deaf.

- No, he's not deaf.

He's crazy, straight
out the VA hosp.

My boy said to take off.

- Where am I?

- Christ, you scared
the shit out of me.

I can't believe you're
alive, let alone awake.

This is my place.

I couldn't just leave you back

in that alley
after what you did.

- What I did?

I remember killing three people.

- You saved my life.

Those assholes
were gonna rape me

and throw me in a
dumpster so fuck 'em,

they got what they deserved.

- You normally bring strangers
back to your apartment

in the middle of the
night and strip them?

- Depends on what
kind of mood I'm in.

Yeah, I couldn't just
leave you back there

for the cops to find.

Black man lying next to three
bodies in this neighborhood?

They wouldn't even
stop to ask questions.

- Well I'm all right.

- How is that even possible.

This is not right.

Look I'm gonna go get something

out the kitchen, just stay put.

- Hey how did I end up in
the alley with, with, hey.

Hello?

Hey you all right?

- She can't hear you or
see you for that matter.

Excuse the intrusive theatrics,

they're a necessary
evil I'm afraid.

- Who are you?

- Hello Ray, Hellborn,
at your service.

You and I have a great
deal to discuss my friend.

- How'd you get in here?

Who sent you, and what the
hell did you do to her?

- Well, she as you can see,
is completely unharmed.

And the question
isn't who sent me Ray,

the question is how
are you still alive?

Now I know the recollection
of tonight's events may be

a little dicey, I mean only
hours ago you were dead.

Losing ones memory is
a temporary side effect

to the awakening, it will pass.

- The fuck are
you talking about?

You think you can
just appear in here

and just sell me some bullshit?

So if you know who I am you
know what I can do to you right?

- Absolutely nothing.

Attempting to hurt me will
only hurt yourself friend.

- What did you do to me?

- Gave you new life,
a near God like power.

- You've given me a curse.

- You should be
thanking me right now,

not feeling sorry for yourself.

You have no idea
what you've become.

Those men you killed tonight,

when you took their
lives what did you feel?

- Confused at first
and then everything

started becoming clear.

I wanted to stop but I couldn't.

- That thing inside
of you needs to kill,

it's how you stay alive.

You take their energy,
their life force.

You absorb their
memories, intelligence,

fighting skills, everything
they were you will become.

You'll have the ability
to heal within minutes,

your muscles will be stronger,
your reflexes faster.

- Why did you choose me?

- I didn't, I'm merely a guide.

An overseer to aid
you in your quest.

- Which is?

- To become the beast that
feeds on the hearts of evil men.

Time to go.

- You don't have to
come visit me anymore.

I can see it causes you pain.

- The nurses treating
you well enough?

- Yeah, they're fine.

Not much for conversation

but they take
excellent care of me.

- Good.

You know it is important to me

that you're always as
comfortable as possible.

I have the best
medical minds around

the country working on this.

We will find you
a cure for this.

- There's no cure brother.

Why must you torture yourself?

False hope of a
world made whole.

It's no wonder we lived
happily ever after.

- You can't be like that
Priscilla, not after all this time.

There is always a way.

Just gonna take a
little time, that's all.

- And in that time you will come

to accept the truth as I have.

I've accepted is that
I am going to die.

And you will be all alone.

I'm truly sorry.

- Be silent dear sister.

I will never accept.

- Love what you've
done to the place.

- Must've broken in.

Trying to make my death
look like a robbery.

- You're not the only
one they've hurt Ray.

There are 100's more
who have suffered

and until now there hasn't been

a being powerful
enough to stop them.

This is why we brought you back.

- How do I find the man
that did this to me?

- Well that is a question
who's answer you already know.

- There's a warehouse on the 87.

They use it to
manufacture synth,

distribute to their key runners.

One of those guys worked there.

They gave him access to
where deals will go down.

They will pose as buyers,
rob low level runners.

Sell the product on their own

to keep the money
for themselves.

I'm gonna shut it down.

- They think you're dead.

That gives us an advantage
we can build upon.

I suggest concealing
your identity,

is there anything in this
dump that can do that?

- Yeah.

Hell yeah.

- Come on guys, we gotta take
these barrels out of here,

Tes is gonna have our
asses if we don't finish.

- How many barrels?

- All of them.

- Now that was worth
the price of admission.

You have truly become
an artist my friend.

Don't touch me for a second.

I need a fucking cigarette.

Did you find what
you were looking for?

- Information, yeah.

- And what did you see?

- A friend.

- Sir.

- Just--

Just passion.

Anyone who can create
something like that

has experienced a
life time of pain.

And only then can
you realize that

what really matters cannot
be held in your hand.

I trust this couldn't wait?

- No sir, it couldn't.

It's urgent.

- In that case I'm
gonna need more wine.

- I'm sorry.

- That was the most
perfect cut of steak

I think I've ever had.

Perfect temperature,
perfect doneness.

Even with the most
extraordinary chef in my kitchen

I doubt that he will ever
be able to duplicate that.

Do you understand?

That your inability to focus
has taken that away from me.

- Forgive me.

- No, no, no.

It's the little
things that counts.

- Indeed.

I have something to show you.

- One man in a ski
mask did all that?

- It gets even more interesting.

- That's impossible.

- I thought so to.

We killed this man.

Made sure that he was never
coming back but here he is,

making trouble for us.

So there's a question
swirling around my head.

How is Ray Lazarus
back from the dead?

- I'd very much
like to know that.

- I'm sending Gale to
pick up one of my runners

who ran into some
trouble the other night.

Maybe she's seen something.

- Get it done.

♪ If I open my eyes and see ♪

♪ In the darkness ♪

- Just go ahead and top it off,

get it back to her all right?

- Word, okay thanks.

- Think about it.

Ray.

Thought you were dead man, glad
to see that ain't the case.

- Is that what you heard?

- No, you just hadn't been
here for a few months,

that ain't like you man.

- Look I need to talk to you.

Privately.

- Okay man, right
this way, come on.

- So these people who work
for you, do you trust them?

- They wouldn't be
here if I didn't.

A few of them are ex
cons but they're decent.

Just men and women
that have families.

They do right by me,
so I do right by them.

- Got any reason to believe

that any of them
might be dealing?

- What, that red shit I
see all over the street?

- Yeah.

- Nah.

- Just patched up the axle on
the old bird, anything else?

- If you can go ahead and mount
the tires, that'd be great.

I'll come over and check it out.

Thank you.

- See you ain't changed a bit.

- I'm a trend setter.

She's good for business.

- Yeah, I bet.

- Hey, look I lost
a few recently

but that's just because
they got a better offer

to run with Poet and his crew.

- What you know about him?

- He's in charge of sales

and distribution
for his organization

but he's not the big man.

Somebody else is in charge,
somebody smart, protected.

Know who it is?

- Nobody's seen him.

Why you so interested
all of a sudden?

You wanna get in the game?

- Nah, I'm just curious.

- Curiosity didn't bring
you all the way down here.

Asking me some very specific,
very dangerous questions man.

I've known you for over ten
years, you can't bullshit me.

Don't do something
that you might regret.

- Look it's best if you don't
know right now, all right?

Look man, I gotta jet.

I'll be back.

Pogo, do something
with your hair man,

it's all over the place.

Fix it up or something.

- I'm about to take
it all the way off,

you just wait and see.

It's gonna be as smooth

as a baby's ass
dipped in buttermilk.

Chicks love that.

- I don't know
nothing about that.

- Yeah, I know.

I got some clippers in the
bag man, we'll tighten you up.

- Later Pogo.

- What brings you by.

- I need to understand
how a dead man

can still bring
you so much pain.

- A dead man?

Did you kill him?

- I was a victim
of circumstance,

I was merely a
instrument in his demise,

not the cause of it.

- Demons that you create,

what will you do when
they come knocking?

- I was hoping you'd tell me.

- Let's see what the
cards have to say.

- Well what so you see?

- A man, his body is broken
but his body is strong.

That's why it chose
him, brought him back.

- How is this possible?

- There is an ancient power
that exists older than time.

It it neither good nor evil.

But it holds life and death
in the palm of it's hand.

- So he's an immortal then?

- No.

This power feeds on energy.

In order to continue
living he must

absorb the life force of others.

And he's not alone.

- What do you mean?

- Well there is something here,

something is there with him,
something is guiding him.

- This power, can it be taken,

transferred to
someone else somehow?

- Yes, so what you
need to do is send in

your strongest men
to break his spirit.

Then you can own his power.

- Jesus, you know what?

You don't get to do that to me.

- I needed answers I
couldn't find here.

- You saved my
life and then bleed

all over my couch then disappear

for not one but two
days without leaving

so much as a goddamn sticky note

to let me know
you're still alive?

- Look I can explain everything
if you just calm down.

- And then you
stroll back in here

as if you have some
open invitation.

- I wasn't trying--

- I'm sorry, don't let the fact

that my fucking
door's locked prevent

you in anyway from
breaking into my home.

- Enough all right?

Look I didn't mean
to startle you

and I'm not trying to make
your life complicated,

but there's some things
happening right now

that you couldn't
possibly understand.

Some things I barely
can comprehend myself.

- Try me.

- Poet your boss, the guy
you've been running for.

- I never told you that.

- Well you didn't have to.

He and his men are killers,
but there's somebody else.

Somebody pulling the
strings and I need for you

to tell me everything
you know about him.

- So you're trying to
get yourself killed then?

- I'm not worried about that.

Not anymore.

- Fine.

He calls himself Testament.

He controls all of Paradise
City and he's untouchable.

Satisfied?

You know what, never mind,

it doesn't even
matter cause I'm out.

I'm getting as far away from
this shit as I possible can

and if you have any
brains, you'll do the same.

- I can't walk away and
you not safe by yourself.

He's taken way too much from
this city, from you, from me.

It's time somebody stopped him.

- Why do you care, what
has he taken from you?

- Search every
inch of this place.

- What the hell?

- You know this building
was built upon a church

that burned to the ground
during the great crusades?

100's of people
were trapped inside.

Innocent men, women,

and children died right
here, on this very spot.

If you listen closely enough

you can almost hear
them still crying out.

Help me, help.

- No one on Earth is
innocent, not even children.

Must we engage in
these senseless

initiations every time we meet?

- Levity is important to
building lasting relationships.

I think we are
partners after all.

I trust you'll do your part
in finding Lazarus's opposite?

- It's already begun.

The fortune teller was
easy enough to convince

and a suitable candidate
has been chosen.

It's only a matter of time until

his death and
eventual awakening.

- Good.

I'll make sure to keep
the path clear on my end.

- Gotta let me know before
you just come by man.

I could have a lady in here.

Could a been knee deep in
the throes of passion man,

just moment away from euphoria

and you guys would have
ruined it for both of us.

- Were you?

- No, I was watching
TV and sipping a beer,

but that's not the
point all right?

Not the point, it's
about boundaries bro.

Boundaries.

- Look man, we just
need a place to crash,

lay low for a while till
I figure somethings out.

- No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

You're not pulling this
shit on me again Ray.

Not unless you tell
me what is going on.

Until then no dice.

- If you guys could just
you know, skip the foreplay

and figure it out I'm
gonna make myself at home.

- She's making
herself at home Ray,

she's making herself at home.

What's going on here?

What is she--

Look, she's finishing
my beer Ray.

Thank you, thank you for
that, that was my last one.

- Look man, we just
need to stay here

for a couple of days till
I end all of this for good.

- How was it.

- It was euphoric.

- Funny, she funny Ray.

- Pogo, Pogo.

- I'll give you
that, she's funny.

- Pogo listen to me okay.

I need for you to
focus right now.

Now look, a lot of people
are about to die, Pogo.

I need for you to roll
with me on this brother.

- Ray I love you man but
I gotta be all the way in.

- You sure you wanna know?

- Dude I got your
back no matter what,

but you got to clue me in.

- Show him.

He's not gonna take your word
for it, so just show him.

- Four days ago I was
approached by Poet and his men.

He knew all about me.

Knew I was familiar
with the city.

He needed some strong runners
that can handle themselves.

I turned him down but by then
he already said too much.

Guess it was way to dangerous
to keep my alive I guess.

- Uh oh, okay, so what does
that mean, what are you saying?

- He shot me.

10, 12 times at least.

- How did you survive?

I didn't.

- Okay, I get it, you're joking,

you're joking, it's
funny, I get it.

You're joking right?

- I'm serious.

- No, no, no, no, no, no,
see I should have known.

You bring a really
hot girl to my place.

Like she's questionable

but she's hot and
you bring her here,

into our place of business

and then it's just, it's
too good to be true man.

I get it, what are you doing?

What are you doing,
why are you doing that?

Why?

What the hell?

- Look I know this is a
to to take in right now.

- I just need a minute,

I need a minute, I
need a minute man.

- Look I'm gonna
go calm him down

but look, I need for you
to stay here all right?

I got someone I gotta
go pay a visit to.

- You expect me to stay here

with fake ass
Matthew McConaughey?

- Look, I trust
him with my life,

if I didn't I wouldn't have
brought you here all right?

But it's way too dangerous
for you out there

so I need for you to just
keep him safe for me.

Can you do that?

- I expect to be
compensated handsomely

for my contribution
to this cause.

- Look whatever it is
that you need, I got you.

All right?

- Kay.

- Pogo, if they find out
that I'm still alive anybody

that's connected to me
is gonna be targeted.

- Well maybe they shouldn't.

Maybe they shouldn't find
out that you're still alive.

Okay there's something
I've been working on.

If you give me a few hours,

give me a few hours
I'll have it ready.

- Kay.

- And you need a shirt.

- Morning princess,
time I pay I you a call.

- I got nothing to say asshole.

- Oh it's not me you need
to worry about pretty boy.

You get to talk to him.

- What you not gonna
score me out to?

You like them five footers uh?

That's what you like?

- Mike!

Ray is that you?

- Of course man.

What you doing here?

Had a few drinks.

- What was that all about?

- These assholes said
some things I didn't like.

- So when did you
decide to come back?

I thought you was done
with this place for good.

- Synthetic drugs.

You know my sister
Carol died from it.

I wasn't even there for her.

I didn't even know
she was using.

- Hey yo Mike, I'm sorry.

- That's why I'm here Ray.

To take out Poet
and his whole crew.

- Well you know Poet
just runs distribution.

He's not the boss.

- How do you know that?

- Let's take a ride.

I'll explain more
when we get there.

- Where we going?

- Pogo's place, spot
downtown, you remember.

- Yeah, Pogo still
boosting cars?

- Nah, hey wait you driving?

- Nah, foot.

- Well you're more than
welcome to ride bitch.

- I'm good man,
I'll meet you there.

- Suit yourself.

- All right.

- Has he said anything?

- Nah, nothing since we
picked him up this morning.

- Good, wouldn't be much
of a challenge if he had.

- He's nuts this guy.

We dragged him out of
his apartment bathroom

covered in blood.

Man, he was trying to
remove his own skin

with nothing but
his fingernails.

- Well it's a good job you
got there when you did.

I'll take it from
here, thanks Alex.

- You got it boss.

- Good luck, you'll need it.

- When was the last time
you saw this man alive?

- Two, maybe three days ago.

I didn't see him, we
spoke on the phone.

- About anything in particular?

Yeah, what
he wanted for dinner.

- Aside from that.

Did he mention anyone's name,
did he seem agitated or upset?

- I don't know man, I'm
not a fucking shrink.

Look this is all I have,

so if this is all
you need from me,

I'll gladly be on my way
and back to living my life.

- Forgive my manners.

My name is Benjamin Poge.

I handle cases that
are unique in nature,

like you and your friend here.

- He ain't my friend.
Like I told you before,

he rented a room from me
for the past three months.

That's it, he paid on
time, we barley even spoke,

that's the full extent
of our relationship.

So whatever you think he's
into, I'm not all right?

- From the looks of it you look
like you're into his supply.

Synth right?

That's what you were
using this morning.

That's why you're nails
are covered in blood

and you can't sit still.

You must be in a
tremendous amount

of pain coming down
from that high.

Realizing, what you
did to yourself.

I'm just trying
to help you Evan,

and others like you.

So just tell me who your
roommate worked for.

Then you go home, simple.

- I don't know who he is or
what you're even talking about.

- Do you know what
a polygraph is?

When a human being tells a lie,

it comes from deep within
their subconscious.

It doesn't matter how they
string the words together.

The body will always tell
the truth, it's unavoidable.

Polygraphs records several
physiological patterns.

Such as blood pressure,
pulse, respiration.

And skin conductivity while
the subject is being asked

and answers a
series of questions

in the belief that
deceptive answers

will produce a
response that differs

from the answers that are true.

- What does any
of that even mean?

- By applying one self,
this skill believe it or not

can be perfected over time.

It's how I know you're
lying to me right now.

I suggest you tell me everything

you know about this man
and who he worked for.

Otherwise you're
going to a mental

institution instead
of going home.

Your choice.

- Okay.

Okay.

- How'd you get here before me?

- Uber.

- Oh.

- What took you so long?

- Special gift for Pogo.

The stores were closed,
so I got these from home.

- Beers, no less.

I'm gonna drink them in
good health my friend.

- And I see you're
still dressing

like a young Willy Nelson huh?

- See you still shop
at Bass Pro, it's cool.

Mike I thought
you were done with

this town for good man,
when'd you get back?

- Got back a couple of days ago.

- Where's Ember?

- She's just hanging out,
you know she's not dealing

with everything
too good right now.

- Yeah, well the whole
world changed over night.

It's hard for anybody to accept.

- Indeed.

So where'd you find
this old salty dog at?

- He was in the back alley
of a bar, fighting as usual.

- Hey, they had it coming.

But any one of those rust
buckets out back work?

I need a ride for a while.

- Yeah for the most
part, they just need

a few things here and there.

If you wanna pick
the old bird you can.

See what sticks, just
Winter's asleep right there

in the back seat so just try
not to scare her will ya?

- Got ya.

Don't leave a
stain on the jacket.

- Funny.

- There's something
I wanna show you.

- Man what's up?

- There it is.

Took me years of work
and a boatload of cash

but she's one of a kind.

- What made you
come up with this?

- Remember that accident I
had about six years back?

- Yeah, you took that
curb going about 85 right?

- Yeah, turned my
back into a pretzel.

Almost killed me.

So when I got back on my feet,

I decided to make something

that would protect me no
matter how fast I was going.

- Damn.

It look aggressive.

- Oh she is.

It a tri weave fiber.

So you tear it apart, the
fibers they bond back together.

The inner cores are
flexible and Kevlar fabric.

Helmet's lined with it to.

It's indestructible.

Look, I can't fight
along side you brother

but maybe I can give you
this, help keep you safe.

- There's a bike?

- Oh yeah.

- Damn Pogo.

- You should be resting.

- I've rested enough.

Lying there make me feel
like I'm already dead.

This life, what do you
think it means to them?

- Absolutely nothing.

They truly have never
lived, only suffered.

Desperately hanging on to the
hope, a miserable existence.

A fate we should be
fortunate enough to share.

- I'd give anything
to be one of them.

To be whole.

- That's why I'm here,

I think I found a
cure for your problem.

Now it'll take a
little bit more time,

but I have the wheels in motion.

- It's not possible.

I have been examined by every
credible doctor in the world

and the diagnosis is always
the same, there is no cure.

- No natural cure.

Look I can't explain
everything right now

but I need you to find
comfort in my words.

Hey, I will never let you fade.

- Like our parents?

- How many years did we spend

watching our mother
just waste away?

In a fire just standing there.

With all the resources that
we had, it did nothing.

Except hold her hand and shed
tears for a life not yet lost.

I'll not repeat
the same mistakes.

- We won't, we won't, okay,
we're stronger than they were.

I believe you can save me,
I believe in you brother.

- Mike?

- Kitkat.

What's up?

Man you've gotten big,
what've you been up to?

- Nothing.

Stuck here with my brother
until I find my own place.

Yeah, how's
the college life?

- Dead.

- What, you're not
in school anymore?

- I got kicked out for setting
this girls hair on fire.

- You know that
was stupid right?

You had a way out,
should have taken it.

- Nobody makes it out of here.

And we all always come back,

that's what makes us
all so dark inside.

But when Ray came back
he was like a new man.

He even got my
brother to go legit.

He was always a
good guy, you know?

- Yeah, yeah he is.

Let's see what we can
do with this baby.

- Hey.

- I can't go back, can I?

No.

- You know what I
keep thinking about?

My shoes.

I had some really expensive
pairs of shoes at that loft

and now I can't go
back to collect them.

- Right, I can
see how this might

be a little difficult
to shoulder right now.

But it'll be over the
moment I stop Testament.

- And what if you don't make it?

What if you don't come back?

What will the rest of us do?

- Look, Mike, Pogo, Winter,

they're not just my
friends, they're my family.

Okay?

We always protect one another
and I trust them with my life.

Listen, you're my family now.

And I'm not gonna let
anything happen to you.

- You're touching my leg.

- Oh, oh no, that's, that's just

a way that I can just reassure

you that everything
is okay, it's just.

- I'm not mad a it, I'm just,

can I get a dinner first or
maybe some nice conversation?

- Yeah, we can go
eat, we can talk

and have conversation,
sushi or something.

- Hey, hey, hey, I got some
people I want you to meet.

- Tay, Rico.

Fellahs.

What you guys doing here?

- Hey man, heard you
could use some help.

Hey your fight
is our fight man, always.

- Yeah Laz, you know we couldn't
let you have all the fun.

- Well it's good to
see you guys man.

Oh, this is Pogo, that's
Ember, and that's Winter.

- What up?

Hey what's up?

- Hey.

- Winter huh?

As in the coldest?

I feel that, I like that.

- Uh uh.

- My bad bro.

- It's okay.

- We did a little recon,
kept it low profile,

staked the place out
for three days straight.

The building's two stories
high, there's four entrances.

- There's about 20
more guys inside,

five with heavy ammo
shotguns and automatics.

The rest are runners so
they're not carrying.

So you know the
deal boys, let's get

these gunmen before
they can get a shot off.

- Yo that place is
locked down tight to.

- He has a few guards
and parked cars,

they're surrounding the place.

All right, shippers all go out

after nine pm, after
that it's pretty quiet.

The buildings pretty
much ours for the taking.

- If that place goes it'll
cripple the business for good.

- Well I guess that's
where we're headed then.

- You heard him boys we
got our marching orders.

Wheels up in five minutes.

All right,
let's go killers.

- Pogo.

- I gotta get out of
this place for a minute.

- Whoa, you sure
that's a good idea?

Ray said to stay here, this
is the safest place for you.

- You always do
what you're told?

Jesus Christ.

Remind you of
those week old chitlins huh?

- Yeah, won't be
eating those anymore.

- Check his wallet.

- Looks like your suspect
gave us some good information.

Too bad it's a dead end.

- Not entirely, it's all here.

Factories, shipping
routes, dates.

All the connective tissue

that holds their
organization together.

It's right in front of us.

- This is huge.

We gotta call it in.

- No.

Call in the movers.

Have them take care of it.

Everything else stays as is.

- You think this guy

and those other bodies we
found are all connected?

- Possibly, unlike the others
this was a precision job.

The other killings were
more brutal, personal.

But we count nothing out,

because unless I miss my guess,
this is only the beginning.

♪ So much trouble
out the window ♪

♪ We won't let
nobody get no info ♪

♪ I could tell you what
the night was meant for ♪

♪ Can nobody tell
me my potential ♪

- Nice helmet.

- Hey ya'll, let him through.

♪ Can't nobody tell
me my potential. ♪

- Hey that shit dope.

- Aggressive.

- This is BLWC and
I'm Shaun Wesley,

joining me once again
studio, is Robin O'Reily.

Hey Shaun,
thanks for having me again.

Always nice to
have you here with me.

So Robin, this synth
problem, it's not going away.

What are you seeing, what're
you hearing in the streets?

It's definitely
not going away.

One I think we need to bring
more eyes to Paradise City,

I feel like nobody's
looking at Paradise City,

it doesn't make the news,
the crime rates kinda crazy.

But on a local level we do have

the all mighty street
team in Bridgeport,

they're kind of vigilantes but
they're helping their city.

We've talked about
vigilantes before.

We're not necessarily fans
of them but the mayor--

- Let's go boys.

- Not yet.

Ray'll give us the
signal when he's ready.

- Chapel man, let's just go.

- What's the signal?

- You'll know it
when you hear it.

- How much longer we gotta wait?

- Not till you see a body fall
off that goddamn roof top.

- You guys hear that?

- Sounds like gunfire.

- Well shit, it's
go time then boys.

- I have a job for you.

- Finally.

- I'm watching my kingdom,
my beautiful kingdom

that I built with my own two
hands burning down around me.

When I am the one that
makes all the tough choices,

I am the one that keeps
the wheels turning

and do you think that
he acknowledges that?

- Who?

- Never interrupt
a man's monologue.

- I'm sorry.

Where was I?

- That he doesn't
understand you--

- Right, he doesn't.

And now I have this
walking ghost decimating

my distribution plants, killing
off my men and he is messy.

Leaving a trial of bodies
that will most assuredly lead

the local PD directly
to our door steps.

Or maybe, Ray Lazarus
is exactly what I need.

You two, come with me.

- Ember.

We were beginning to worry about
you, thought you were dead.

- I would have been had
you assholes had your way.

I make one mistake and
you try to knock me off?

- Testaments decision are
based on principal alone.

It's scripture to
him, you know that.

Now a rule might
be a little extreme

but it only exists
for your protection.

- They exist to keep
us in Line and afraid.

Is that why you're
here, to finish the job?

- Dear, you're too
weak to die by my hand.

Your friends however,
have made quite a mess.

Not very wise.

- Your boss brought
that upon himself.

Don't you get tired
of being his weapon?

- We are what we are.

My path is set,
fate already chosen.

You knew this would happen,

now they all gonna die and
there's nothing to stop it.

Now where can I find them.

- I'm not gonna tell you that.

- Oh you will, or
I'll reconsider

snatching the life from you.

- Hello detective.

Trust you have a
reason for dragging me

into this shit
hole is a just one.

- Oh it is, a lot of good men

have been found dead
in the past week.

You know anything about that?

- I know what you know,

but I'm more than willing to
help out in any way I can.

- Oh is that right?

Looks like the bid is up
with hit with doubling

as manufacturing
plants for synth.

Maybe those plants
belong to you.

- Oh I own half
the city detective,

so I'm sure one or two
could easily be mine,

but I know no such
manufacturing of any drug.

Not at my establishments.

- I'm guessing that you do.

Maybe you pissed
off the wrong guy

or maybe your old crew just
wasn't cutting it enough

and you decide to
clean the slate.

- If I were killing my own men,

I would be much
cleaner about it.

I cut them up into
little pieces,

dissolve their bodies, throw
the remains into the harbor.

Not leave them scattered around

like rats to a
dumpster, now would I?

- Is that an admission of guilt?

- It's an admission
of common sense.

Which is more than I can
say for your killers.

Your killers messy, in this
city messy gets you killed.

- Killers you say, plural.

So you know there's
more than one.

- No living being could have
killed all those men alone

and gotten away with
it, now could they?

Simple logic dictates
there's more than one,

look am I being charged
with anything right now?

- Not now.

- I suggest you
focus your attention

more on them before
it's too late.

- I'll be in touch.

- And who are you
supposed to be?

- What have you got?

- Testament knows something,

I doubt he's actually
responsible for the murders.

But he definitely has
an idea of who is.

- Whoever's gunning for him,

they're working their
way up the food chain.

You stay close to him.

- Will do.

Alex.

Yeah?

- I just got a call,

a tip from an anonymous
source down town.

They're saying it's a
massacre, rooftop, four bodies.

- Who all knows about this?

Just me.

- Okay, let's keep it that
way until we know more.

- Got it.

- There a lot of
talk around town

about a man in a black
suit on a motor cycle

bringing down all the
drug houses in the city.

Shit.

Never would have guessed
you were the guy.

Where you get all this?

- It's curtesy of
Poet and his runners.

- So what am I
supposed to do with it?

- Use it to keep
your doors open,

offer a place of refuge
to any lost souls

that come your way.

- Taking it form
the rich assholes

and giving it to
the disenfranchised.

I can dig it.

Listen man, I'm
not gonna sit here

and pretend like I understand
what you're doing what you do

but it's nice to
know that someones

out there fighting for us.

Look man do me a favor,

you watch your ass
while you're out there.

- Course.

- You know what I mean.

Be careful.

- I made your father a promise
Twitch, I plan on keeping it.

- Well done boys.

I'm sure he got the message.

- This amuses you?

I've just learned that the last

of our distribution
plants has fallen.

This time Lazarus wasn't alone.

He had help.

Soldiers no less.

This vendetta has
become a fucking crusade

and you seem to be
completely unaffected by it.

Our pipe line is dead.

Production of synth
is no longer possible

and if you are not
willing to do anything

to remedy the situation I will.

- How dare you pretend
to make decisions for me?

This is my city.

You have power?

You've got power because
I placed it in your hands

and that power
can be taken away.

You interfere, you will lose.

You won't win.

As we speak Endless
is hunting them down.

And he will bring back what's
left of Lazarus's body to me.

- No.

You're delusions will
find you buried along

with that so called
army of yours.

And any hopes you had
of saving your family.

All of your men
will die tonight.

But my men will
not be among them.

For when plans, future,
life, is in doubt.

A poet gives testament
to three words.

I am out.

- Come on, that's it.

- It's impolite to
enter someones home

without saying hello,
even for a ghost.

- I'm fascinated
you can see me dear.

It's such a gift, however
did you acquire it?

- What exactly do
you want from me?

I've done everything
you've asked.

Soon you'll have your weapon

and then you can reveal
your secrets to me.

- I keep my word.

All of our knowledge
and history will

be yours in exchange for
help securing the other.

- Why is he so important to you?

- In due time you'll have
the answers you seek,

until then, I keep my secrets.

- I just find it very unsettling

that you would want such an
evil man to have so much power.

- It's not about good and
evil, it's about balance.

- There will never be
balance, not in this world.

It's too chaotic.

- We'll see.

- Mike.

- Ray?

Ray, is that you Ray?

Ray I got him, I got him good.

I know I hurt him.

- You did good old man.

You softened him up for me.

Brought honor to us tonight.

- My brothers.

They always faithful.

Always faithful.

- You avenged your
brothers, your family.

- Family.

Carol.

- Mike.

Mike!

- Lazarus.

Right?

You look dressed for
the occasion, so am I.

- You took the
lives of my friends.

And now, I'm gonna take yours.

- Oh I expect you to try.

Before you were
weak like the rest

of the city, a lamb
to the slaughter.

Look what you've become, you're
a killer now just like me.

Only difference is
I embrace what I am.

You do not.

- I fight for the innocent, to
free them from men like you.

- Don't confuse
vengeance for heroics.

You think putting on a suit
and a mask makes you a hero?

- Oh I'm no hero, but I'm
strong enough to kill you.

- Now, I know
everything you know.

Including where
your boss is hiding.

- I can feel your power.

- You can't run from me.

- Run?

Oh I'm not running.

Do with me as you will
save my sisters life.

- What are you doing?

He's half past dead already,

just take what's left of his
life and be done with it.

- No.

- No?

Do you know how long I've
been working on this?

You think power of this
magnitude comes without cost?

- You had me killed.

- Yeah.

Death was a small price to pay
for the power you now posses.

See the problem with you Ray

is you can't see
past your own pain.

This is bigger than Ray.

The unity of opposites.

In every generation
there's always been two.

It's how we maintain balance.

And besides what's a
few insignificant deaths

along the way
compared to millions.

- Not insignificant.

Not to me.

I'm done killing for you.

You want him dead,
finish him yourself.

- Ray.

Ray, Ray, you can't
just walk away man.

Ray.

Come back here Ray.

- Interesting outfit
Ray, I assume it's fitted

with Kevlar which explains
why you're still alive.

- Right.

- Unfortunately for you these
rounds are high velocity

which means fired from
this distance you're dead.

Don't move, I'm tired.

- These men were
murderers and dealers.

They killed 100's
of innocent people.

Poisoned the entire city,
took people I care about.

I didn't choose this
path, it chose me.

I'm just doing what needs
to be done, just like you.

- Moments from now dozens
of uniformed officers

are gonna swarm on this compound

and arrest anyone who's still
left alive including you.

So I'm giving you till dawn,
then I'm coming for ya.

In the end,

we were all fighting
for the same reasons.

To save the soul of this city.

Old enemies fall, new ones rise.

But fate has a plan
and I'm not alone.

There are others
out there like me

who believe as I do that
we can turn the tide.

This was only the beginning.

- Iden, that's your
real name, isn't it?

You and I have a great
deal to discuss my friend.

- Mike and the others?

- Benjamin, I've been waiting
here for you for hours.

- What is it?

- I know who's been
committing those murders

and I think I know why.

- I think I know who this man is

and I know where to find him.

- He's not a man.

Not anymore.
