Sing unto me the rapturous love song.

Burn to me perfume.

SUSAN: Dont touch me. Dont-- let go.

MARISOL: Im not here to spill secrets.

Im here to restore your friends faith.

(panting)

I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

There is something I have to tell you.

(screaming)

Am I a part of your workings?

A man of will knows no boundaries.

Stay the fuck away from me.

SUSAN: Dont...

I want my wife back.

About time you guys showed up.

Before you get your drawers in a twist...

(grunts)

You knew.

And you never said a word.

What are you talking about?

You know exactly what Im talking about.

Marisol.

I tried to warn you.

I told you she was shining you on.

From that, Im supposed to deduce that she was put up

to the whole thing by that-that deranged group?

Theyre not deranged. Theyre the only reason

any of this happened. It worked.

MARVIN: Guys?

Now you really have lost it.

You really think you couldve sold the project

if she hadnt been boosting your ego?

MARVIN: Guys?

Can you see were in the middle of something?

Howd you come up with it?

Come up with what?

Using asphalt as a fuel.

Thats what I was trying to tell you guys.

There was a fire on the roof of my garage.

When I went up there to put it out, I saw...

(rumbling)

I saw... (sighs)

What?

The tar had melted in the heat.

And the answer just hit me, kind of like Richard here.

MARVIN: Asphalt could be the answer to the paradox.

It pours as a liquid but hardens into a solid once it cools.

The rocket I just tested produced a constant thrust

for an entire minute.

If you dont believe me, just run a test for yourself.

What? Saving the day?

Why are you doing this?

No. Trying to worm your way back onto the team.

Youre the one who quit.

Who says I want to come back onto the team?

If my solution works, use it.

(laughs softly)

Now what?

MARVIN: Guys, this could actually work.

I just felt like a goddamn jackass, giving it away.

Your colleague needs to be convinced he needs you,

and the only person hell be convinced by is himself.

He better.

This demonstration for the military needs to work,

and I need to be there when it happens.

Just keep focused on your intention.

Believe me, I am focused.

I am like a goddamn razor blade.

And still, you doubt?

I dont doubt this. I doubt Richard.

I doubt Caltech, I doubt the military.

I doubt anyone who isnt one of us.

At least you no longer have to include

Mrs. Parsons on that list.

Id love to know what you did to make her come around.

Ask her.

You dont think Ive tried?

You know I cant divulge

what transpires in these sessions.

Even if shes my wife?

Especially if shes your wife.

Its quite a thing,

to be the keeper of everyones secrets.

(knocking on door)

Yes?

A letter came.

Its not addressed to you.

(quietly): Its for him.

VIRGIL: For as it says in Romans 13,

verse eight...

"Owe..." oh, no, I said Romans 13.

Y-You typed "12."

For as it says

in Romans 13, verse eight,

"Owe no man any thing, but to love one another:

for he that loves another hath fulfilled the law..."

(typewriter clacking stops)

You getting all this, Susan?

Uh... Could you repeat that last part?

What is going on with you?

Excuse me.

(panting)

(toilet flushing)

(knocking on door)

VIRGIL: Susan.

Susan.

Tell me whats wrong.

Nothing.

Well, I... I can see for myself its not nothing.

You havent been yourself for weeks.

I feel much better. We can get back to work.

"Based on your dedication to the workings

"and the illuminations contained therein, I am writing

to invite you to become Man and Brother of the faith."

Hes inviting me to ascend to the next degree.

Can you believe that? Crowley himself.

Uh-huh.

I wonder how he even knew about me.

And get this: "It is an honor

"to have a true man of science in our midst.

"One who can help legitimize the work.

"In aiming for the stars,

Jack...

you are helping to further our cause here on Earth."

(laughs softly)

You seem flattered.

Shouldnt I be?

So youre going to accept?

I dont want to go any deeper into this thing

unless its gonna be something we do together.

Ive been going.

Yeah, to the private purging sessions.

But you havent been participating in the rest of it.

Why is that important to you?

I want this to be something we share together,

with no more misunderstandings, or secrets between us.

For the official demonstration,

we will actuate the triggering mechanism

inside the cockpit.

RICHARD: Once you flip the switch,

the rocket motors will combust, increasing acceleration

and decreasing the length of runway

required to reach take-off speed.

Hear the Japs are working on planes that can take off

from a submarine, using a dang catapult.

Of course they are. They are a devious people.

Our solution is far more sophisticated.

Its our first time testing the JATOs attached to a plane,

but they seem to be operational.

Seem to be?

What he means is, our most recent test

with just the rocket motors went off without any problems.

Well, what about the tests before that?

Guys, its gonna be me up there on demonstration day.

Something goes wrong, itll be me paying the ultimate price.

The fact of the matter is, once we made the switch

to an asphalt-based fuel,

the previous issues wed been experiencing went away.

Well, so long as theyre safe.

Thats what were here to demonstrate.

On my count.

Five, four, three, two, one.

(soft laughter)

Wait!

No goddamn way Im flying with those things

strapped to my wings.

Fuck.

Hi.

So this is where youve been living?

Im looking for the Magus. Is he in?

Care to join me for a tipple?

Or perhaps

we could have a short stroll.

Take advantage of this weather.

I was surprised myself.

Its not often the Master takes such an interest in a minerval.

Crowley has his ways.

How did he even know about him?

Well, Jack isnt going to accept the invitation.

Not unless I...

Not unless you what?

He wants Thelema to be something

we can share fully.

And what do you want?

Workings are not to be undertaken lightly

or against your will.

Workings. Ascension.

For people so devoted to uncovering the truth,

why not call it by its actual name?

What words would you prefer I use? Sodomy?

Fornication? Sin?

Because these words do not describe what we do.

They are words used by those who seek to limit and control.

Words you learned to speak in the confessional.

Its not the words, its the behavior.

Youre right. It is the act, not the label.

Its a method to know oneself,

and by so doing, to know God.

You believe in God?

Not just God, but the Goddess.

Nuit, the great mother, the source of all things.

Her power is within you, waiting to be unleashed.

You are on the precipice,

but until you confront the source of your shame...

...you will remain a prisoner of it.

NEWS ANNOUNCER: With swift decision, the R.A.F. replied to

the Nazi raid on the Orkneys

when the first civilian was killed on British soil.

A large number of R.A.F. bombers

set out for the fortified German island of Sylt

and bombarded seaplane bases, ammunition dumps

and harbors up and down the island

continuously for six hours.

List, of which this is an aerial photo, had its share,

as well as the Hindenburgdamm.

Britain has shown her determination

to answer Nazi raids in a language

the Boche understand.

I just dont understand why youre going.

Its Easter.

You know what I mean.

Youve found a new religion, one that actually works.

FRANCINE: Careful, that credenza was a wedding gift from my aunt.

MOVER: Yes, maam.

Oh, good, we caught you.

Carl, go get that box.

Yeah.

How are you two settling in?

So far, so good. Though, whoever lived here before

sure made a mess of the place.

Im sorry to hear that.

Well, you cant pick your neighbors.

CARL: This got left behind

and, uh, we werent really sure what to do with it.

Well get it back to him.

So youre still acquainted?

We know where to find him.

I should be going. Dont want to be late for mass.

♪

(phone ringing)

Parsons residence.

Congratulations. You win.

What are you talking about?

I need your help.

RICHARD: Before I called,

Id pretty much decided that we needed to cancel.

I didnt see another way.

With the demonstration so close,

a workable solution seeming so illusory...

So what changed your mind?

I was sitting in a movie theater

watching a newsreel about Britain dropping bombs

on a Nazi seaplane base.

This war is getting worse by the day.

And everything just feels so huge and important.

And I just kept thinking to myself,

we are so close.

And not just to getting funding or even legitimacy.

We are so close to being a part of it,

Mm-hmm.

to mattering.

And in the face of something that big,

this grudge between us, it feels kind of small, doesnt it?

I agree. The only thing that matters

is that were part of whats to come.

Right.

Im glad.

As you can see,

four of the JATOs fired perfectly.

However, the other two failed spectacularly.

One wouldve taken the head off of the pilot,

had he been in the plane.

You mustve done something wrong.

Well, I realize that.

And if we had more time, I am confident

that our team could figure out what,

but with the presentation upon us,

I-I am asking you if you have any ideas.

If I had to guess, the two rockets that misfired

were packed the day before the test,

but the others were packed the day of.

I know Im not an actual scientist like the rest of you,

but Im smart enough to know it gets cold at night,

especially out here.

Mustve been a good 30 degrees hotter when you ran the test.

Yeah, so?

Yeah, so,

the fluctuation in temperature

would cause cracks to form in the asphalt,

which leads to uneven combustion.

You thought of that just now?

Of course not.

I had the same issue when I did my preliminary tests.

Which you conveniently failed to mention.

Mustve slipped my mind somewhere

between getting punched in the face and being called a liar.

The good news is, theres a fix.

We have to pack the JATOs as close as possible

to the demonstration itself.

Wait, we?

Yes, Richard, we.

I can see now that it was a mistake to trust you guys

with my breakthrough.

Well, thanks to you leaving out

a key piece of information,

we scared off the test pilot.

Do you have a quick fix for that?

(hammer tapping)

Hey.

Sorry, I didnt mean to sneak up on you.

(pigeons cooing)

What are you doing here?

I came to give you back this.

I know why you left it behind.

Look, your declaration,

or whatever it was...

caught me off guard.

I was just trying to get a rise out of you.

You were right.

You are the only one whos gotten me closer to what I want.

That all?

Its a lot.

No. Is that all you came here for?

Your prophecy came true.

I did see the Great Beast, and exactly like you said,

he showed me my true path.

But I cant walk it alone.

We have a demonstration tomorrow for the military.

Bully for you.

The thing is, the team cant do it without me,

and I cant do it without you.

I dont know what to label it.

Elemental opposite. Friend. Compatriot.

All I know is that love is the law,

whatever form it takes.

And you have to heed it.

What do you want from me?

If the test is successful, the military is offering us

over $100,000 in funding.

What do you want?

Imagine the possibilities.

With that kind of money, everything would change.

For me, for you, for the Agape.

Maybe Im done helping you.

Thatd be a shame.

union of opposites."

It would be a pleasure. Its the least I can do

Let us pray.

O Lord, the resurrection of your Son

has renewed our spirit.

Grant us the wisdom

to know what we must do,

the courage to undertake it,

and the will to complete it.

Bless these, Thy gifts,

Hmm? Barely able to keep food down.

with your sister.

Congratulations, Susan.

This is wonderful news.

Yes, dear. Perhaps itll be a boy.

well, hes finally done something worth celebrating.
