When God created man a jealous Lucifer

mounted a great rebellion in heaven.

His army of angels was defeated

and forever banished from paradise.

These angels the fallen abandoned Lucifer

choosing to live on earth among the pleasures of humans.

They took mortal wives and fathered abominations

children called Nephilim: by the power of angels

with the souls of man.

Angry the Creator flooded the earth

killing the Nephilim and driving the fallen into hiding.

He sent the Powers fierce warrior angels

to hunt those who survived the flood.

but there was hope for the fallenn a prcy.

A Nephilim would be born who would redeem them

and return them to paradise.

So the fallen watched... and waited.

Tom?

Lori?

Tom? Lori?

Come Nephilim!

Meet your death!

Huh.

Oh man that was wicked.

Oh...

Hey buddy.

Oh hey hey stop come on.

Thank you Lori. Thanks Tom.

Wow. Um you guys didn't have to do this.

Didn't have to? It's your 18th birthday.

It's like the start of a whole new life.

Yeah. And we'll have a party tonight

but we just wanted to uh to--

how happy we are that you were born

that last three years you've been with us

have been just wonderful.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I mean yeah. Thanks a lot.

Now you know the Corbett tradition.

Birthday boy gets to pick dinner

so what'll it be?

Um well if it's not too much trouble

maybe Tom can make his spaghetti sauce?

Yeah. Yeah?

Of course not. It's no trouble.

I'll make it extra-special.

It already is hon.

Okay. All right.

Well um I got to get to work so...

we'll see you and save your appetite.

Maybe after the party we can work on the Caddy.

Cool. All right.

That was very nice of you and brave.

I can talk him out of it.

I'll tell him we're out of the ingredients.

No no I'm actually uh...

I'm beginning to like Tom's sauce.

Or at least get used to it.

How'd you get to be such a good kid huh?

I got to get Stevie up.

So enjoy your breakfast

and happy birthday.

How's it taste?

this just arrived

he said it wa urgent

it's late You may go now

But you have another meeting

it's no t neccessary for you to be here

I'll see you tomorrow

what was that

just the wind

we're on the eighty-first floor

Hello Fallen.

Verchiel.

You look like you were expecting someone.

Who was coming to visit you Samchial?

No one Your Worship.

Look we find you

lying to us.

What's that in your hair?

Is it gray?

I think you've been hanging around these monkeys for too long.

Did you really think

that you could hide yourself behind all this magic?

I mean what good are runes

when you show yourself by your actions?

It's very sloppy.

Maybe you're sick of this realm.

Or maybe you actually feel remorse for your actions

and you've decided to turn yourself in.

I have paid for my transgressions. You've paid?

Being exiled to this planet is far from payment

for what you did my friend.

Your kind has yet to be punished.

By whom? You and your fanatic followers?

You're not enacting the will of the Creator.

You're on your own crusade to destroy those

whom you know were loved more by the Creator.

Silence!

Prepare yourself for your judgment Fallen.

Yaah!

Only the Creator can judge.

Wait!

Oh! You fool!

He was hiding something and you destroyed it!

Mom let it go.

There are plenty of kids out there

who call their parents by their first names.

Besides Dr. Jonas says

that it's common for older adopted children

and it doesn't mean

that Aaron's not bonding with us.

No Mom Tom and I don't need a second opinion.

We're happy working with Dr. Jonas.

Besides Aaron trusts him.

Oh! It's okay Stevie. Sorry.

I-- No it's okay.

I just touched Stevie without telling him.

And I think you're wrong

about forcing Aaron to call us Mom and Dad.

You know he's been through more

than you or I could ever understand.

Oh here he is now Mom.

Yeah.

She wants to wish you a Happy Birthday.

Hey Marge--

Grandma.

A white button-down shirt slacks and loafers.

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Okay. I will.

Okay. Thanks. Bye.

She wanted to make sure I was dressed right

to meet the school recruiters.

Oh well I officially apologize for my mother again.

It's no big deal. Don't sweat it.

So you're legal now.

Are you sure you don't want to play hooky today?

We could go and vote enlist in the Army

or--ooh--you could see an "R"-rated movie.

No thanks anyway. I got a big test in math

and I got to practice for the meet on Saturday.

Oh. Headache.

You're not doing any dumb jock stuff

like starving yourself for the wrestling meet?

Uh with my metabolism I don't have to.

Lucky dog.

Hey bro. How's it going?

Hey.

You're the only one that--

- he does that with. - He does that with.

Well Stevie and I have an understanding. Right bro?

Oh hey Stevie leave Aaron's ring alone.

That's okay. He can play with it.

Hey Stevie I got to get going.

I'm gonna hand you over now okay?

Hey Stevie Mama's gonna take you from Aaron okay?

Oh no. It's okay.

We got to let Aaron get to school right?

Yeah we're gonna have some fun today

aren't we? Hmm?

Hey no it's a good thing

that he responds so well to you right kiddo?

Yeah. You go to school. We're fine.

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

we know youre master was part of a system

that protects the fallen angels and their offspring

where are the records?

She knows nothing. Dispose of her.

wait wait

sometimes I woould see hime

he would stand in front of the markings. on the wall

show me where

here

He has hidden them behind the runes.

You have done well.

We have no more need of you.

Very clever Samchial.

The abominations--we can track them down and des--

What's that?

It's North America.

It looks like Massachusetts.

Damn him!

He rigged it.

You think?

Samchial's not alone in this.

He was expecting someone else.

Find out who it is

and let me know before the others do.

Corbett-hole.

Lay off Lockhart. I got a headache.

You weren't at weigh-in this morning.

Yeah I got in late.

I was 162.

What are you losing weight?

Better bulk up if you want to compete in the 166 class.

No I'm good. I'm shooting for your level.

I mean I'm good at 166

but I'm gonna be great at 157

so you watch your butt "Corbutt"

'cause I'm coming for you. I'll eat you alive.

Someone screw with your locker Brady?

Yeah real funny.

You think they'd get tired of the same joke.

Here.

For a jock you're almost human.

And for a geek you're almost uh...

Ah you're just a geek.

Why do you put up with that nose wipe?

Ah leave him alone Peter.

Just trying to help you out.

It's bad enough you're a foster kid

but hanging out with losers like that

it's bad for your rep.

Catch my drift Corbett?

Corbot.

Don't even think it.

That is way out of your league.

Hey. Hi.

Ouch. That had to hurt huh?

I got to get to class.

Wrestling is the art of strategy.

Do not think about your first move.

Think about how you're gonna get to your fifth move.

Okay mat time. Situational drills.

Pinning combinations. Partner up.

Wrestling is the art of leaders.

Genghis Khan chose his generals

by their wrestling skill.

And at the regionals

we're gonna show everybody what kind of leaders we are.

Uh Corbett partner up with Lockhart.

You're gunning for state champ.

Gotta give you a challenge.

Got what it takes Corbett-hole?

How's the headache?

Still there.

Good. Make it easier to take you down.

Thanks for the love.

Couldn't hold the half nelson.

Weak Corbett weak.

You're gonna have to do much better on Saturday.

Mat work. Pinning combinations.

Partner up.

Hey Brady.

Saw you in the shower today buddy.

Doesn't look good.

Yeah shouldn't you be in the girls' locker room?

Come on Peter let me go.

"Come on Peter let me go."

"Peter oh please don't hurt me."

Can we be intelligent about this?

Whoa! You're saying Peter's not intelligent?

Aren't you guys tired of kicking the crap out of me?

Not yet. Lay off Lockhart.

Whoa it's the orphan boy.

Yeah poster boy here for birth control.

You challenging Lockhart after he trounced you today?

Didn't you learn your lesson in gym today

Corbett-hole.

I guess not.

Aaron what are you doing?

Lay off Corbett! You're choking him!

He's choking him.

Let him loose Corbett! You're choking him!

Lay off him!

Aaron come on let him go. He's just a jerk.

Man lay off! You're choking him!

Come on let him go.

Lay off him!

It's your birthday?

Yeah. Yeah.

I heard what you did for David Brady in the gym.

I think it's cool.

It was stupid. I uh I lost control.

I could have hurt him.

Well it's just I promised Tom and Lori

that I wouldn't fight anymore.

Who?

Oh they're my parents.

Oh!

I'm sorry. They're-- Yeah. They're my parents.

They're-- Actually they're my adoptive parents.

Yeah. I heard you're adopted.

So am I.

You are? Yeah.

My mom died when I was born

and my aunt raised me.

And when she died I moved up here

to live with my other aunt.

Wow.

That's-- That's so cool.

What?

No no no. Not that you're an orphan.

That's not what I meant. I'm an orphan too.

I didn't mean it. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it that way.

It's okay.

It's just uh you uh--

You know your biological family.

You don't? No.

I was uh placed in foster care

when I was born.

Sorry.

What are you gonna do for your birthday?

You having a big party?

No I'll probably just uh

hang out with Tom and Lori

and Stevie. He's their son.

That probably sounds really uh dorky

spending my 18th birthday with my family.

No. It sounds really wonderful.

Vilma come here.

I got to go.

Happy birthday.

So water conservation.

Three basic goals:

Increase the amount of groundwater

keep the unpolluted waters clean

and clean up the polluted waters

and decrease our own personal use.

Americans use 60 gallons of water each per day.

That's five times more than any European.

Now when you're brushing your teeth

do you let the water run

or do you turn the shower on before you get into it

let it run getting warm

or run the water for a while

before you get a glass of water

wash just a few things in the laundry machine?

Okay this material will be on next week's test.

Homework tonight Chapter 3

and answer the questions in the back.

Mr. Corbett before you go

I know you have a--

a lot of offers from colleges

based upon your wrestling

but I don't want you

to neglect your academic achievements.

I have a friend who's recruiting for Cornell.

He's looked at your records.

He's impressed and he wants to meet with you.

Now I know it may be as much money

as a sports scholarship

but I think you should listen to his offer.

Okay. I will. Thank you Mrs. Baker.

Aaron you're a smart boy. You're talented.

Kids like you they're destined for a fate

greater than being an ex-wrestling champ.

Make something of yourself.

Can I help you?

The boy the one who just left.

Aaron Corbett?

Yes. Thank you.

Is there a problem?

Not anymore.

He's really mean.

He's nice to me.

Yeah like a spider and you're the fly.

Maybe I'm the spider and he's the fly.

I think he's cute.

Come on class. Take your seats.

Open up your textbooks to Chapter 5.

Run. Disappear.

Run!

They come! Run!

Run! Danger.

Leave this place.

Run.

Danger. Run.

Run! Run! Run!

Danger!

Get home...

But the signs show...

You must come with me

Father no. What are you doing? No please.

I swear if I hear one more word from you

I'm gonna scream.

Aaron? Hey you're home early.

Everything all right?

Yeah are you okay?

Yeah yeah I think I'm just uh...

I think I'm coming down with something.

Oh you're pale. Oh and you're feverish.

Yeah I just uh...

I just need to rest.

Are you sure? Can I make you something?

No no. I'm fine.

I'm just gonna um go upstairs.

Okay.

Hey wait for Gabriel!

Gabe is not talking to me.

Gabe is not talking to me

Aaron angry at Gabriel?

Gabe is not talking to me

Gabriel did something wrong?

Shut up.

Please just shut up.

I'm losing it.

This can't be happening.

Aaron angry.

Gabriel knows why.

It's a...dream.

It's...hallucinations from a fever.

Maybe I...hit my head too hard in gym class.

Gabriel took chewed up

couldn't stop.

Gabriel sorry.

Aaron please forgive. Please.

Gabe will never chew socks.

It's not about the damn sock.

I know but I promise I will never chew socks.

Please be quiet for a second.

Is everything okay up there?

Gabriel fine. Aaron act funny.

We're good-- I mean I'm good.

Okay.

Inside.

Yeah but I thought maybe a quick game of fetch.

Animals and people aren't supposed to talk to each other.

Dogs are dogs and humans are humans.

Aaron talk to Gabe all the time.

Gabe talk to Aaron all the time.

I know that but there's a difference

between talking to and understanding Gabe.

I'm--I'm arguing with a dog.

This is crazy. I'm--I'm crazy.

They're uh...

They're gonna lock me away Gabe.

Aaron scared Gabriel talk?

Gabriel no talk.

No talk?

No talk.

Okay. Okay.

I'm gonna sleep this off.

When I wake up everything's gonna be fine.

Yeah and we'll celebrate your birthday tomorrow.

Okay.

Can't wait.

We're gonna have cake and ice cream.

It's gonna be a lot of fun.

Stop talking.

there is no mercy for abominations!

There is no mercy for Nephilim! Aah!

Hello.

No more talking?

Okay.

Good boy.

All right buddy let's get you some food.

Good. Love love love food.

Oops.

Gabriel talked.

I think I'm going crazy.

Have you told Tom and Lori?

No. No. Um...

You know they've been so nice to me

and uh...

now I've got to tell them that they've adopted a schizo.

There are a lot of other things besides schizophrenia

that would explain these symptoms.

You and I have been meeting for seven years.

We've gone through some pretty tough situations in foster care

so I--I think we can get through this one all right okay?

Good.

All right then.

Reality check.

Out of the Heavens rained down who angrily were saying:

"Who is this... that without death goes through the Kingdom of the people dead"

So what did I just say?

It's from Dante's Inferno.

We read it last year in Language Arts.

The fallen angels are angry

because Dante's in hell but he's not dead.

Did you um read this book in Italian?

No.

Non conosco l'italiano.

But you're speaking it now.

No. Ora non sto parl--

parlando.

Holy crap.

D-Do you see what I mean?

Amazing.

Wait a minute.

..."whose fire in his eyes

"reaches further than her heart.

"Will the flame of the heart die

in the flames of the fire?"

The woman thinks of the living

whose fire in his eyes reaches further than her heart.

Will the flame of the heart die

in the flames of the fire?

Or something like that.

Hey you live like an onion

with your head in the ground.

An onion? What does that mean?

Um...it means...

It means holy crap.

What?

I--I don't know Aaron. I don't know.

I've heard of people

who have suffered a head trauma.

Others get brain lesions.

Well I did have a bad headache.

And suddenly they--they understand other languages.

I always just thought it was urban myth.

Repeat this string of numbers to me backwards:

11 5 8 12 14.

14 12 8 5 11. Adds up to 50.

That's right.

And you understand animals as well.

So is Gabe saying anything?

Gabe?

A lady poodle peed right here.

Um...

A poodle peed on your carpet.

Well now that's impossible.

The label said the odor will be gone in a week

and absolutely no one--

Gabe told you that?

Damn.

Aaron are you...

having any other symptoms?

I mean are you experiencing nausea vomiting?

No.

I'm fine.

Just...weird.

Weird.

Yeah well that--

That is the word for it.

I'm gonna get you in to see my friend

at Stanford Medical Center.

I'm gonna clear my book tomorrow.

Can you be here around 10 A.M.?

I want you to use the emergency line

if you need anything or you feel sick all right?

And take notes. Take notes Aaron.

I want to know everything that's going on.

And tell your folks.

I mean that's what parents are for.

Maybe I had a stroke or something.

Or maybe it's genetic.

My father was a... genius

or my mother was part of a medical experiment

and died while giving birth.

It's hard not knowing who your parents are.

You're kind of an orphan too huh?

Aaron Gabriel's family.

What the--

Something's coming.

Ah.

Hello young Nephilim

Do you understand the tongue of the message

The Messenger?

What you are is obvious. You are in danger...

Nephilim.

Aaron?

Aaron! Wait for Gabriel!

Oh this is not good.

This is not good.

Play now?

Oh. Oh good yeah.

Play now?

No play.

Must work. No play.

All work no play makes Aaron talk to himself.

How are you?

You speak Portuguese?

I didn't know.

No...no...I don't speak Portuguese.

Well kind of. Not really.

Just a little bit.

But your accent is perfect.

Yeah I've-- I've been studying it some.

It's a pretty language.

You weren't in class today.

No no I uh--

Some say you didn't want to go to wrestling

that you're chicken.

Would that "some" be Peter Lockhart?

Yeah. He's a loser.

I thought you were sick but here you are

talking to yourself.

Oh I was uh I was talking to Gabe.

Oh hi poochie. Not Poochie Gabriel.

What a pretty dog.

Yeah Gabriel very pretty.

Uh...

Oh uh I'm doing research

for uh for school.

It's a book report.

I love angels.

Uh...

See?

Um I have all kinds of books on them.

Do you know about um Nephilim?

Sure yeah. There's all kinds of angels.

There's the Cherubim the Seraphim

the Nephilim who were the children

of an angel and a human.

You see they had the powers of angels

but the souls of man.

Here let me show you a site.

"From the root 'nephel'

"meaning 'unnaturally begotten men' or 'bastards.'

"They are the biblical half-breeds:

half-human half-angel."

Isn't this site great?

Yeah yeah this is-- This is really cool.

I think angels are here all around us.

What you mean like you can see 'em?

Well not see 'em but...

don't you ever feel

like you're in the presence of something special?

Yeah.

I--I know what you mean.

When's your book report due?

Maybe I can help with research.

Wow. Yeah. That would be--

That would be fantastic yeah.

Um I got to get the bus.

Uh we both have study hall second period tomorrow.

You want to meet at the library?

Sure I'd love to. Yeah.

"Nephilim had the gift of tongues

"understanding all languages

including that of the animals and the plants."

We got to find that bum.

He's right over there.

Hey! Hey!

Ohh...

Hey you come here come here come here.

Listen to me. Why did you call me that name?

I don't want to hurt you.

I'm not gonna let go of you

until you tell me what's going on okay?

Okay.

Go easy with the threads.

Huh?

It's my best outfit.

Why did you call me Nephilim?

'Cause that's what you are.

You're half-angel half-human.

You some sort of cult person is that it?

I'm an angel.

Name is Ezekiel Zeke for short.

Okay okay I got it.

I'm talking to a nut case.

Well ha ha--

You're crazier than me.

Have it your way. Come on Gabe.

Well Happy 18th Birthday to you nonetheless.

Yep.

How did you know it was my birthday?

Nephilim come of age when they're 18

and you can smell 'em a mile away

when they're turning.

Ahh...

And boy you do smell of angel.

This is a bunch of bull.

Well you're taking it a lot better than most.

What do you mean?

Well angel nature and human nature

don't live well together.

Nephilim when they experience both

they hmmm they go wackadoodle

and you you're just a little wonka-wonka.

Huh wonka-wonka--hoo. Wonka-wonka. Wonka.

I have done your bidding.

I have sought out the abominations

and destroyed them.

But it has been a long time since I have heard your words

a sign that my work is pleasing in your sight.

I know it is not for me to ask

but...a sign.

if you could just show me--

Your lordship.

What?

Your lordship I thought you might want these:

the remains of Samshial.

What would I want with his ashes?

Do you think I'm like these humans

needing their remains to make themselves feel better?

Huh!

Wait!

A sign.

Thank you.

You have done well.

For this you may have the next kill.

Thank you my lord.

We must send Kolazonta to Massachusetts

to find someone named Corbett.

If you're an angel show me your wings.

I'm a Grigori

one of the highest orders of angels.

I uh hate to break it to you bud

but uh those aren't wings.

Uh yeah I had 'em clipped in the fall.

Oh yeah?

So they'll grow back in the spring?

Uh that's fall not as in autumn

uh as in fallen.

I'm a fallen angel so they clipped my wings.

Those scars you got they could be from anything:

an accident surgery.

Yeah well believe it or not

I am an angel.

Heh heh heh.

You are Nephilim

which means that uh--ha ha--

I want to be out of here

when they come looking for you.

Who's "they"?

The Powers. They uh their gig is

to get rid of creatures they're not pleased with

and uh usually they find 'em

within two days after their 18th birthday.

Now you've got maybe a day

something like that I think yeah.

So you're telling me that because I'm a Nephilim

God has sent killer angels after me.

Is that what you're trying to tell me?

God God is such a limiting term.

The Creator is so much more:

Allah Shiva the Tao Jehovah--

Can you please stick to the point?

The point. Oh yes well

uh humans and angels are not supposed to uh

canoodle uh fraternize socialize that sort of thing.

Well anyway...

the result of our dalliances...

are beings like you Nephilim.

That's it here we go. Aha! My prize yes.

Ha ha ha ha! Ah here we go.

Play ball! Yes! Play ball!

No no no no no no. This is not to play with.

This is mine. I caught this is straightaway center field

from Babe Ruth and it's signed by him.

Wait wait wait wait. You can hear my dog?

Oh yes I can hear your dog absolutely.

That's what talking in tongues is.

It's an angel thing.

And we're really good dancers too--woo-hoo!

Uh the Powers think

that they are the Creator's personal storm troopers

and their whole goal is to get rid of Nephilim

and they absolutely hate the Fallen.

Why? Why do they hate the Fallen?

The important thing is that Camael leader of the Powers

is here and he's probably looking for you.

What is that?

Wait a minute. That's my name.

This is just a bruise. That ain't no bruise.

That's a mark. That's ancient writing.

This is getting weird! I wanna get--

That--That's uh-- That's ancient writing.

That's uh-- I'm out of here.

Wait wait!

Whoa-ho-ho!

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

So you tell me some Camel guy's looking for me?

Whoa! Hold it!

Gabe! Ball! Gabe! No!

Ball! Oh yeah! Play ball!

Gabe.

He came out of nowhere. I didn't even--

Just get help quick.

Gabe you okay?

Gabriel hurt bad.

Gabe no. Gabe no no no no no.

Please please Gabe Gabe Gabe Gabe.

Gabe.

Aaron?

All right all right. Move aside move aside.

Let me show you how a real angel heals.

Come on move aside.

All right.

Easy boy. Easy big fella.

I'm gonna take you for a little ride.

There you are.

It...hurts.

What is that? What's happening?

Did you see that?

That's his soul leaving the body.

Whoo. That means I lost my touch.

Sorry kid. You know what they say:

use it or lose it.

No. No no no no no no no.

There's got to be something.

No. No no no no no.

Please.

That's something you're not supposed to be able to do

unless--

Now look here now if you are what I think you are

then we can--we can still save this dog.

Please you've done enough damage.

Look you either believe me and he lives

or you don't and he dies.

Now it's your choice.

You put your hands on him.

Animal Control's on their way.

Now.

This is crazy.

You got to tap into your angel nature.

It's like everything's speeding up inside ya.

See it in the darkness. Look hard.

You see it?

You see it.

I see something.

Hear it. Call to it. Let it fill you.

What is it?

No no no. You got to control it.

You got to control it. You got to--

If you're gonna save this dog

you've got to accept your angel nature.

You've got to open yourself to it.

You've got to let it fill you.

You've got to accept it as part of you

and if you doubt it if you question it

it'll destroy you or you will destroy it.

You understand?

Okay.

This is a part of me.

This is a part of who I am.

Aaron?

Where's the ball?

Gabe.

Hey hey hey hey.

Oh I'm free at last.

Where's the ball? Where'd the ball go?

I'm free at last!

This is impossible.

I'm not half an angel.

Oh sorry to tell you kid

but you're probably more than that.

Ah!

He bears the names of the Fallen

he has the touch of the angels.

No more exile.

Gabe stay away from the birds.

Don't worry Aaron. Gabriel won't hurtrt.

Honing hunting skills.

Honing? Who uses words like "honing"?

I don't even words like "honing."

So if you are what I think you are

we've got some business to tend to.

No we don't.

We have no business to attend to okay?

My dog almost died.

There you are.

And I just brought him back to life.

Exact-- That's crazy. That's insane.

I got to talk to Jonas.

No no no no no no.

Go easy with this. You're quite a find.

No I'm not. Yes you are.

Whatever just happened's never gonna happen again.

Great! I can help you! I can make it all go away.

Yes I can. There's just one little thing you have to do for me:

Redeem me. What?

You can restore me to an angel

and send me home.

Then I can call off the Powers

and you can be a normal boy again.

Okay I'm-- I'm out of here.

Oh no no no no no no.

Listen. Listen to me. Just stay here.

Just listen to me please. Just listen for a moment.

Now there is a chance that you can redeem me

and clear me of my transgressions.

How can I redeem you?

I don't know what that means.

I don't know if you're real.

You know I'm real. Come over here.

Let me give you something here.

Babe Ruth signed this. It's yours. Here.

It's not about the payment. Do you understand?

This is just--This is-- This is too weird.

All right all right all right.

The prophesy said you would come

and here you are

so all I'm asking you to do is to redeem me.

Just uh touch me to wave your hands over me

have redeeming thoughts.

I don't even know

Please just do it do it

and I won't ask you anything more.

Just--I promise.

All right fine.

You're--You're saved. You're redeemed. Whatever.

That's it?

No. See? You got the wrong guy.

Oh no no no. Please try again.

Try like you did with the dog.

Look what you did with the dog. Huh?

Come on.

Are you satisfied?

All right go on go on damn it.

Just go on. Don't redeem me.

Let me give you a little advice Mister!

You better get your butt out of here

because if the Powers find you

your ass is grass you understand that?

I'm getting out of here. I've had enough of you.

Super sauce comin' at ya.

Hey! Happy Birthday!

Hey Happy Belated Birthday!

Ready for some of that special spaghetti sauce?

Aaron?

It's okay.

Hey is everything okay?

What's wrong?

Aaron?

What's wrong?

You can tell us.

Um I just um...

Thank you.

Thank you for-- for everything.

I just want you guys to know

that I can never repay you.

Repay us? Buddy we're family.

We don't repay.

Hey we love you.

I love you too Mom and Dad.

Please don't forget that.

Um don't worry. We won't.

Come on let's eat.

Oh my God. Look what he's doing.

Stevie did you do that sweetie?

Angel.

Oh my God you're speaking!

Stevie you're talking!

Hey!

Hey hi Stevie!

Hi sweetheart.

Where's the video camera?

Uh... We got to get this on tape.

Go go go go. Baby it's me Mommy.

Hey can you say "Mommy"?

Aaron.

He's-- Stevie's speaking.

Hey can you say something for me?

Aaron.

Angels.

Angels come.

He knows who you are Aaron.

This is amazing. He knows who you are.

I think I'll call in sick tomorrow

and come with you and Stevie to the clinic.

What if he's getting better?

What if this is all a mistake?

Take it easy. One step at a time.

Yeah.

You missed weigh-in this morning.

Hmm?

Coach Chaney called.

Tell her what Dr. Jonas said.

I uh was doing a report for school.

Dr. Jonas said that you should tell Tom and--

Oh cake!

That's good. Can't make it on brawn alone.

I got to get this one to bed.

I'm gonna uh go get some fresh air.

Oh there we go. You're a big boy.

The Studebaker parts finally came.

Water's stuck in the pit again.

Oh yeah. We're gonna have to get that fixed one of these days.

Here you go.

Quite a day huh?

I mean with uh Stevie

and plus it being your birthday.

Yeah.

You know Stevie talking...

We've been hoping for something like that for...years.

Yeah I know.

Well Lori and I uh-- your mom and I--

Look I remember turning 18.

I was still in foster care

and I waited my whole life for that birthday

so I could get out on my own

and stop bouncing from place to place.

Look just because you've turned 18

and legally you're an adult

that doesn't mean we're not family.

Tom--

Uh Dad

there's stuff going on.

I'm really scared.

I think there's something wrong with me.

I mean um...

I'm afraid my parents weren't normal.

Aaron you and I have talked about how I was at your age.

You know I stole and I lied

and I got kicked out of every foster home

within a few months.

I know but--

Wait wait. It's because I thought

my biological parents were bad people.

And I thought I was bad

you know like I didn't have a choice.

I was--I was a victim of my own fear.

You understand what I'm saying?

Yeah but--

But then I started to see

that I was taking the easy way:

you know blaming others for how my life was going.

But the only person in charge of my life was me

and I had a choice.

You know I could be angry and resentful

or I could work

and create a life that I could be proud of.

But I think there's something wrong with me.

Aaron there's nothing wrong with you.

You're human like all of us.

You're a good kid.

I mean you're a good man.

You have refused to let what happened to you

define who you are.

I'm proud to have you as my son.

Come here.

Hello.

I was wondering if you could help me.

I'm looking for someone.

Well I'm the only one here.

How did you get in here?

A boy. Just turned 18.

An orphan.

He has...abilities.

I think you'd better leave. There's no one here.

It's the damnedest thing.

I haven't seen anything like it

not in my entire life.

You know I never believed

in spontaneous human combustion before

but there's no other explanation.

The guy was completely incinerated.

Just him and the phone.

Fire doesn't work that way.

It's the damnedest thing.

Excuse me.

The doctor who works here is he okay?

You family?

He's my friend.

I'm sorry kid. I can't say anything officially.

We see Dr. Jonas?

No.

We don't.

This is so screwed up.

Who's gonna believe me huh?

All right I'll be right back okay?

Brady have you seen Vilma Rodriguez?

You mean the girl you've been pining over all year?

If you see her tell her I can't make study hall.

Here let me.

Geez Corbett you ripped the whole door off.

What's with you?

Hey Corbett-hole surprised to see you at school.

You been hiding or what?

Not now Lockhart.

Find Vilma and tell her I'll talk to her later.

Don't turn your back on me.

I'm just gonna get the vice-principal.

No. Brady you intervene and you're next.

Peter don't do this okay?

You're dead.

You're a freak Corbett.

How did you do that?

Honestly I--

I have no clue man.

Things are really screwed up.

I can't even...

begin to explain.

Aaron.

There you are.

Hi. Hi.

Um listen I got to cancel our study date.

I know. I figured you were already in there.

What? In where?

In the counselor's office. They were looking for you.

There's a guy here from Cornell.

Oh no no no. Now is not a good time.

Don't be silly. You'll be fine.

Just be yourself.

New York can you imagine? That is so cool.

I want to hear what happens with the interview.

I'm gonna be by the cafe around 4 P.M.

You can tell me all about it.

Tree.

Bird.

"Significant improvement."

That's what he said.

I'll get out of work and go with you.

I'd like to check out this new doctor.

Aaron! Help Aaron!

Oh! Hey Stevie you're okay.

If you're gonna kill me...

just do it.

What are you waiting for?

Just do it.

Kill me.

Kill you?

I've been looking for you for centuries.

I'm here to protect you.

There was a great battle.

A mighty angel convinced many followers

to rebel against the teachings of the Creator.

Although these rebels were strong

they did not win their fight.

They were banished to the Earth.

Their wings were clipped.

The Fallen.

You killed them.

In the past.

I thought it was my holy mission

to eradicate the Fallen and their offspring.

You've eradicated others like me?

Yes I have.

Then why are you so set on saving me?

I mean aren't I one of your abominations?

A prophet once said that a Nephilim would be born

who could forgive the Fallen of their sins

so that they may return to the Source.

I saw that the Creator had a plan

much greater than I could comprehend.

After that I could no longer be a part of the killing

and I realized that I had to save those

the Powers wished to destroy.

This is ridiculous.

What are you like part

of the Angelic Witness Protection Agency or something?

I don't understand.

So basically I'm screwed.

I either go into hiding

or I'm killed by fanatic angels.

That's--That's great.

There is another thing. I don't want to hear it.

We have studied the signs foretold by the prophet.

A child would be born when the Sun was in Virgo.

The footprint of the father would mark his birthplace

and he would be called as a Messenger.

Get toto the point.

These signs have led us to you.

It is possible

that you are the one that I have been searching for.

Okay well I hate to break your bubble

but I'm not okay?

Zeke fed me that whole redeeming line too and--

You've met Ezekiel?

Yeah. I tried the whole redeeming thing on him

and it didn't work. I'm not your guy.

So why don't you leave me alone okay?

Ezekiel is not to be trusted.

According to Zeke neither are you.

If Ezekiel knows that you're here

he will tell the Powers.

Whether you are the Redeemer or not

your life is in grave danger.

I can protect you. I can hide you.

There's no way. They've killed your friend Dr. Jonas.

Stop it.

They have killed my friend Samchial.

They will kill your family. They will kill you.

Stop it.

Look I've been kicked around

since I was a baby

one foster home to another.

and all I ever wanted was a normal life.

And now I'm graduating high school

and colleges are interested in me

and I have a family that loves me

and you know there's this girl I just met--

And all this angel stuff I--I just--

I can't take it.

I don't want any part of it.

You have no choice.

I have no choice?

Screw you. I have a choice

and I'm choosing to be rid of you

and all this angel crap

so why don't you go back to Heaven

and leave me the hell alone?

As you wish.

Ezekiel my old friend

and always as-- fragrant as ever.

I thought I'd stop by and say "hi"

talk over old times.

Oh by the way

have you seen any Nephilim in these parts?

Oh-ho-ho...

They must have passed right on by.

Sorry.

Come on Ezekiel.

We have always had such a good arrangement.

Mutually beneficial wouldn't you say?

You tell us where the Nephilim are

and we let you live.

Ohh...

I...know nothing.

Oh that's funny

because his scent is all over the place.

And I find it very interesting

that you gave up your own child

but this one you protect.

I haven't seen him.

Hmm...

I haven't seen him.

Hmm.

I...

Non s'il vous plaît!

Nephilim.

Papa! Papa!

Aaah!

It's him or it's you.

Ohh...

I'll tell Tom and Lori.

They'll think I'm crazy but I have to.

Aaron look out!

Oh-ho-ho. Whoa!

What's wrong with you?

Uh look I'm uh--

Stupid idiot!

Yeah well nevertheless

uh the Powers are looking for you

and I had to uh well tell 'em where you live so--

You sent killer angels to my house?

What about my family?

That's a good point That's a good point.

Now if you're lucky

Verchiel will spend time questioning and...

killing 'em-- nicely I'm sure--

and then you'll have time to escape. What?

Yes. Well they're not your family anyway.

I love them. Oh that's sweet.

I'm sure they appreciate it but you better run right now.

I'm not gonna run. I'm not a coward like you.

Courage is vastly overrated.

Why are you doing this?

I am not your precious Redeemer.

I'm doing this to help you out.

Now just run. You disgust me.

I'd rather love and die than live and hate myself.

Oh that's beautiful.

If it's me they want it's me they'll get.

I'm not gonna let them hurt my family.

come on ?

Wait a minute. Wait!

Hey hold on just a second.

Now what about--

What about me?

Lori?

Tom?

Aaron we get out of here.

Lori! Tom!

Aaron what's going on?

What is this slamming? What is going on?

Listen! Go back into the basement!

Angels! Angels! Angels! Lock the door!

Don't come out no matter what you hear.

But Aaron--

Just do this for me please.

okay okay

Wait.

Just go. Just go please.

Okay.

Protect them. Don't let them get hurt.

Come Nephilim!

Gabriel protect.

Aaron's fine.

It's okay.

Come Nephilim!

Meet your death!

Kid go back!

Run for it! Go now!

You want a piece of me? You got it!

Grrr!

Aah!

Kushiel kill Ezekiel!

Leave him alone.

It's me you want.

Yes it is!

Look I don't want anything to do

with angels or prophesies.

So just leave me and my family alone

and we won't bother you. I promise.

Oh you promise!

Ha ha ha! The abomination bargains!

How amusing!

He's yours.

Must save Aaron.

Raah!

Traitor!

You deserve to die!

He is the Redeemer.

The Redeemer? You can't be serious!

Ha! Ha! Haah!

Aah!

Peniel!

Raah!

Aah! Aah! Aahr!

Go. Go get a weapon.

How?

See it in your mind.

Your turn.

Raah! Ha! Ha! Aah!

Aahhh...

Ooohh...

Aaarh!

Aarh! Aah! Aah!

Aargh!

Raah! Aah!

Aah!

Mama's gonna touch you baby.

There we go.

Ha ha! Ha ha!

Aah!

Stop! You can't kill the Redeemer!

He's part of the Creator's divine plan!

Him? You're not just a traitor

you're also a fool.

Look at him! Has anyone ever fought back before?

Can't you feel his presence?

Tell me this isn't different.

You almost had me.

No!

Oh!

Oh my God! Aaron!

Aaron! Angel! Aaron! Angel!

Aaron!

Aaron! Angel!

Aaron! Aaron!

So much for your prophesy.

What have you done?

Aaron!

Angel! Aaron!

Aaron! Trapped!

Open up!

Aaron!

Aaron! We're trapped!

Aaron!

Uh...

Thank you.

I misjudged you.

I was waiting for a sign.

I--I understand now.

Fine. You go ahead and you get rid of me

but that is not gonna solve your problem.

The Powers will never let you roam this planet.

They will hunt you down.

And you will have to leave.

Your family will never be safe with you here.

Aaron!

Aaron look out!

Agrrr!

He stood you up.

Something could have happened.

I'll give him ten more minutes.

It's almost 5.

I'll wait for him a little longer.

Zeke.

You came back. You surprised me.

Yeah...

I surprised myself.

Oh no. Don't touch me.

If you use your powers it's like a beacon.

They may send someone back to look for you.

It is true.

But don't they already know?

If you forsake your powers

you can save the life you have here.

If not you will become what you were born to be:

the Redeemer.

Zeke.

I want the truth.

Do you regret letting others die so you could live?

Yes.

So would I.

Hey.

Open up! Aaron!

Come back!

I'm going away now.

No.

But I'll always be with you okay?

Aaron.

Aaron! Angel.

Aaron!

Here.

Aaron. Angel.

Aaron! The longer you stay

the greater the danger.

I'll come back.

I promise.

Gabe? Gabe?

Can you hear me? Come here boy.

Tell Mom and Dad that I love them okay?

Lori!

Lori.

Hey hey it's Aaron.

There's something horrible that's happening.

What is going on? Where's Aaron?

I don't know--

Stevie! Stevie! Stevie!

Aaron!

Hey.

It has been said they walk among us...

that they guide us.

It could be the banker...

the girl next door...

or the cop on the beat.

But I know now that some tempt us.

They even destroy what we believe in.

My future is not my own.
