the night does not belong to god.

the night comes down like heaven.

the whites of your eyes turns black in the low light, in turning divine.

we tangle endlessly, like lovers entwined.

i know for the last time, you will not be mine.

so give me the night, the night, the night.

you are a garden, entwined with all.

you are the silence on sacred shores.

you’ve got diamonds for teeth, my love.

so take a bite of me, just once.

take a bite.

this is a giving, an offering in your favour, a sacrifice in your name.

i know you've got a taste.

give in again and let me lay.

my arms belong around you.

i want to take a bite.

i can lift you up.

the trauma we can't regrow just as you leave again.

will you levitate up where the angels inhabit?

will you levitate where i won't reach you?

we imitate a story of perfect days.

a ballad we fabricate as you forget your words again.

and is that all you need to merely pretend to be falling in love with me?

will you levitate up where my love doesn't matter?

where i was raised, there was no street lights, just pitch black and passing headlights.

where we met, there must have been dark signs, omens in your skies.

most days you reach for safety.

remain calm, forget that you know me.

when we met, i could see dark signs, alarm bells in your eyes.

i miss the man i was the moment we left off.

i might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody.

i hate who i have become.

and if you saw the marks on my dashboard, the new scars that i didn't ask for, would you call, asking for answers?

'cause i am a fire and you are dry as bone.

you are taking your time, you are killing me slow.

and i know we instigate, go back and forth, lacerate.

we are exhausted by all this pretending.

we just can't resist the violence.

you need a melody, i only need the silence.

each time we battle, the blood and the fury takes us a little higher.

with all that you believe, you still refuse to shelter me.

you're a long way from home.

you are one among many, but you're now on your own.

i hate the way you look at me when i am not understood.

you won't begin again.

the debt that i owe …

wait, won't you wait for me?

don’t you feel alive?

it sends me shivers how you love like weapons kill.

so take aim at me for once.

just take aim, break me apart.

won't you call out my name like a curse on this world? like a battle cry?

you make me hate myself, make me tear my body. make me yearn for your embrace.

break me apart, love.

oh, won't you?

you led me on when the moment is perfect.

i will fire and forget 'til we both lay broken.

you know i’ll be yours.

just want to be worth it.

you take the dark and carve me out a home.

i picture you when you are all alone.

i know how we got here.

i am the shadow, you're a passenger.

if you want to give, then give me all that you can give.

if you want to give me anything, then give. give in again.

i’ll tear the fibre from the filament.

i’ll be the limit of your light again.

i want to taste you better.

i will be watching for your enemies, to let them know that they contend with me.

i want to know you're out there.

i want to give you all that i can give, all my darkest impulses.

in this open warfare, i won't fight fair.

in your waking moments, i will be there.

i will be there.

i see the gods avert their gaze from me.

my fucking form is but a wreck beneath them.

there are always people i can call on.

no more taking chances, no more teeth to bite with, no more smiling faces. i am alone again.

you want to talk, you want to talk it out? 'cause the joke's on me, and i’m laughing too.

you want to watch me bleed, 'cause i bleed so well?

do you like the way it feels? like fire from the heavens tearing me asunder beside you.

you play a twisted little game, but i know in a way, you need to complicate.

believe that though we never eat, we still know how to feed.

sugar, i’ve developed a taste for you now.

show me what you do.

do you wanna see how far it goes?

do you wanna test me now, my love?

you must be crazy if you think that i will give in so easily.

things we buried low coming to the surface now, my love.

you must be crazy if you think that i will give up the game.

sugar, i’ve got a taste for you now.

is that a word you said, my love? or just a gesture in tongues?

well, i live to guess your sorrow and you live to empty my lungs.

you've got me up in a frenzy again and i know you're planning to leave in the end.

won’t you say that you will?

let the impulse to love and the instinct to kill entangle to one.

in this light you are mine 'til the sweat turns to blood.

won’t you say that you will? even if you won't.

is that a glint in your eye? is that a blade in your palm?

well, i am yours tonight, so will you lay in my arms?

i know the angels tonight are as lost for words as i am to merely behold you as we lie down together.

drag me under again, deep into your love.

i know the gods will abandon the heavens just to find us. to merely behold you as we lie down together.

hold me beneath the surface, deep into your love.

i want to roll the numbers, i want to feel my stars align again—even if the earth breaks like burnt skin and the heavens just won't open up for me.

won’t you pay for your arrogance?

won’t you show me your weakness?

i made loving you a blood sport.

i made loving you a blood sport i can't win.

i’m still your favourite regret.

you’re still my weapon of choosing.

and out there, stuck in a quantum pattern, tangled with what i never said, you say it doesn't matter.

i want to be forgiven. i want to choke up chunks of my own sins—even if the sky cracks in mourning and the heavens just won't open up for me.

would you invite me in again? let me pay for my arrogance?

darling, i’m noticing your flaws. they’re exactly what i want. even if you won't believe me, know it.

darling, i’m noticing my flaws and i’m matching them with yours.

won’t you take me where you're going this time.

tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us.

there are so many things i’m not allowed to tell you.

i swallow your heart and it crawls right out of my mouth.

you swallow my heart and flee, but i want it back now, baby. i want it back.

i’m sorry. we know how it works. the world is no longer mysterious.

someone once told me that explaining is an admission of failure.

history repeats itself. somebody says this.

i wanted to be wanted.

sorry about the blood in your mouth. i wish it was mine.

you do the math, you expect the trouble.

there is no way to make this story interesting.

i want to tell you this story without having to confess anything.

i want to tell you this story without having to be in it.

you will be alone always and then you will die.

you want a better story. who wouldn’t?

shut up, i’m getting to it.

you still get to be the hero.

what more do you want?

are you there, sweetheart?

do you know me?

i ruined everything by saying it out loud.

i should have known.

you see, i take the parts that i remember and stitch them back together to make a creature that will do what i say or love me back.

there is something underneath the floorboards.

this doesn’t look that much different from home.

you said i could have anything i wanted, but i just couldn't say it out loud.

love, for you, is larger than the usual romantic love. it’s like a religion. it’s terrifying.

no one will ever want to sleep with you.

the entire history of human desire takes about seventy minutes to tell.

unfortunately, we don't have that kind of time.

leave the gun on the table.

this has nothing to do with happiness.

i never liked that ending either.

i’m sorry it’s such a lousy story.

i saved a plate for you.

do you love yourself?

i don't have to answer that.

it should matter.

what did you really want?

i want what everyone wants.

left-handed truth, right-handed truth, there's no pure way to say it.

you were very beautiful.

don’t be silly.

i told you so.

there’s nowhere to go.

i don’t think i can take this much longer.

will you love me even more when i’m dead?

i went to the riverbed to wait for you to show up.

you didn't show up.

i watched tv. i had a coke at the bar. i had four dreams in a row where you were burned, about to burn, or still on fire.

you have a cold, cold smile.

thanks for saying that.

i try, i do. i try and try.

hello, darling, welcome home.

sweetheart, is that you?

please keep him safe.

yes, i do believe his mouth is heaven, his kisses falling over me like stars.

i’ll be right here. i’m waiting.

here is my hand, my heart, my throat, my wrist.

here is the center of me.

i can’t go through with it.

i just don’t want to die anymore.

you look great.

you want to die for love, you always have.

you saved my life. i owe you everything.

let’s just get going, let’s just get gone.

i’m always saving and you’re always owing and i’m tired of asking to settle the debt.

don’t bother. you never mean it anyway, not really, and it only makes me that much more ashamed.

there’s only one thing i want. don’t make me say it.

i’m not just making conversation.

it’s a downright shoot-em-up.

another wrong-man-dies scenario.

please, for just one night, will you lay down next to me, we can leave our clothes on, we can stay all buttoned up?

will you let me kiss your neck, baby?

i swear, i end up feeling empty, like you’ve taken something out of me, and i have to search my body for the scars, thinking: did he find that one last tender place to sink his teeth in?

i think i’d rather keep the bullet.

it’s mine, see, i’m not giving it up.

you can’t get out of this one, [name].

i will turn myself into a gun, because i’m hungry and hollow and just want something to call my own.

i’ll be your slaughterhouse, your killing floor, your morgue and final resting.

if you love me, [name], you don’t love me in a way i understand.

do you know how it ends?

do you feel lucky?

this is where the evening splits in half, [name], love or death.

grab an end, pull hard, and make a wish.

you want to see the future but you only see the sky.

looking back is easy for a while and then looking back gets murky.

this is the in-between, the waiting that happens in the space between one note and the next.

do not choose sides yet. it is still to your advantage to remain impartial.

they are the same and they are not the same. they are the same and they hate each other for it.

it’s yours, you deserve it.

it’s your drink, the one you asked for, just the way you like it.

don’t move.

it’s time to choose sides now.

who do you want to be?

i will come back from the dead for you.

i will keep watch.

it isn’t over; it’s just begun.

close your eyes.

hold me tight, it’s getting cold.

the hero’s shoulders and the gentleness that comes, not from the absence of violence, but despite the abundance of it.

i’ll give you my heart to make a place for it to happen, evidence of a love that transcends hunger.

is that too much to expect? that i would name the stars for you? that i would take you there? the splash of my tongue melting you like a sugar cube?

we’ve read the back of the book, we know what’s going to happen.

do we simply stare at what’s horrible and forgive it?

what happens next?

monsters are always hungry, darling, and they’re only a few steps behind you, finding the flaw, the poor weld, the place where we weren’t stitched up quite right, the place they could almost slip right into if the skin wasn’t trying to keep them out, to keep them here, on the other side.

explaining will get us nowhere.

it’s beautiful. it really is.

i had a dream about you.

kiss me.

here i am leaving you clues.

that hurts, you know?

how observant, señor.

now, say—you got a smoke?

hey, stop it!

¡oye! got a name?

quiet type, eh?

guess—you, me—picked the wrong spot to vacation, eh?

i’m beat up enough as it is.

i can see your thinking.

bet you've been in spots like this before.

¡mierda! … hanging with you? not healthy—

later, amigo!

then i’ll meet you there. i’ll be waiting!

i’ve been waiting and, uh, you’re still coming, right?

name’s [name]. encantado.

very good questions, unfortunately—

okay. it’s game time.

lighten up, cowboy.

i’ve been waiting, hero boy!

perfect timing! give me a hand!

they keep coming!

we’ve got a big one on our hands!

i guess bullets work just as well.

[name]. is this the first time you've coughed up blood like this?

the cough, the blood—it’s caused by something called a … "plaga."

okay. you saw those "people," right?

well, you have the same thing inside you. the same thing that made them like that.

this, what you're experiencing, these symptoms … they’re only the beginning.

you are, well, lucky. you see, at this early stage, it is possible to remove it with a surgical procedure.

all you need is some know-how. and, oh yeah—the right equipment.

see, i have a plan. but you're going to have to trust me.

great! we’re partners then!

no time for any questions. the clock is ticking!

hey. got a smoke?

busted my ass and managed to hide it right before i got caught.

such a stickler for details, huh, [name]?

are you angry? you’re angry.

there is this one thing i must do before i recover the [item].

you know me—always the good samaritan!

they are both infected. they need this medicine.

it slows the infection. and i know it works, i used it on myself.

you too are infected. i see the symptoms already showing in your eyes.

it’s what i researched for all these years, [name].

you must already feel the effects, eh?

the medicine will stop it for a time. just trust me.

perfect, because i have a present i want to give you. medicine that will help to suppress the progress of your ... problem.

come to [place]. we can meet up there.

sorry to keep you waiting. shall we?

there’s a hidden laboratory downstairs. my stuff should be down there.

what would i do without you, [name]?

no, no, no! we can’t let the medicine be destroyed!

there are things i must set right.

the ingredients are all here. in [place].

i need time, but i can still get you your [item].

we can go back up this way, and then figure out our next move.

hey, who are you working for anyway?

okay. won’t be my finest effort—but it might just work.

[name], find these ingredients and just maybe, i can make a new batch of medicine.

time’s not our friend. you go, find them, and i will go grab [item].

this is where we part. good luck.

oh, that’s not good.

the parasite is reacting to the [item].

this will knock out the parasite. but only for a time.

just remember, it’s not a cure. we still need to find a way to get that thing out of you.

i can’t leave you here! not like this!

you come find me as soon as you’re done here!

i’ll make it cheap for you.

feeling better?

all we've done is buy you some time. the suppressant's effects will wear off all too soon.

you ready to go?

i said i’d help you, didn't i?

that was dirty.

good shootin', cowboy.

looks like we've got company.

what do you wanna do?

¡dios mío! give me a heads-up next time!

after you, i insist.

now you owe me!

is it always like this with you?

leave this one to me!

¡oye! i think we can get through here!

well, that was a pain.

do you see any other way?

there, it's moving. this should speed things up a bit.

hope you like thrill rides.

give me a hand!

things are just getting started.

haha! this is kind of fun!

take better care of it, okay?

give us a "3, 2, 1" next time, eh, [name].

pain in my ass …

stay sharp! these guys have camouflage.

hey, i’m the brains. you’re the brawn.

whew. i’m beat. makes you appreciate tech like this.

[name] ... i was working for them.

i don't want anyone else to get hurt.

we’re out of that hellhole! the fresh air is calling our names!

i'm sorry. i'm not going to make it.

i'll send you my files. they should help.

thank you for the chance to do good again.

not looking good, eh, my friend?

take this.

what do you think, [name]?

people can change, right?

crawl out of one hole, and into another.

you can't charm me.

look, i get it. it's been a rough couple of years, but i'm here to help.

see? right there. that's your problem.

give me a break, [name]. i'm doing the best i can.

okay, i tried the easy way.

are you okay?

[name], watch out!

i was just wrapping things up.

you know what? i'mma punch out for the night.

right on time. here comes the guilt trip.

nope. no, thanks. i've had my butt kicked enough tonight.

i heard you're really good at avoiding hard questions.

these noodles are killer. want some?

wow! right for the throat.

you know, you're supposed to dip the noodles in the sauce.

i like doing things my way.

okay. let's rewind.

you know what? you look really good.

i've felt that pain, that loss.

and i wake up every morning, asking myself how i can stop it from happening again.

that's what i get for saving lives.

i am as i was programmed.

[name], did you throw out my fizzy drinks?

healthy choices, healthy body.

ugh. this tastes just like a fart.

ooh! just breaks my heart.

come on. seriously?

oh yeah? you wanna go?

uh, are you seeing this?

you see what i get for trying to be the good guy?

please! they're going to kill you!

[name]! emergency analysis.

[name], this is very strange. according to my readings ...

yup, it's the end of the world.

just give me the bad news.

didn't they program everything they knew into your electric brain?

great, super helpful.

yeah, i think i'd be better off asking siri.

we have to figure something out.

i don't know, maybe you should ask siri.

i am not built for this.

we've gotta get it out of here.

i'm a little sore, still recovering, but ...

no, i only wanted to ... protect you.

stop it right now.

you are gonna be in big trouble, young lady.

what? what is it now?

here you go. here's breakfast.

ew. ew! ugh. that's disgusting.

oh, that smell. oh, god. it's so bad.

we aren't going to do anything. you are gonna have to figure something out.

get creative, [name]. you are a state-of-the-art supercomputer.

ah! tv, the ultimate babysitter.

i need some good news, [name].

dear god, what ... what is that smell?

i just can't do it.

i ... i'm doing my best, okay?

[name]? are you crying?

no. i'm ... not crying.

yeah. yeah, that sounds good.

could we just chat? like, off the record?

it's just ... you're the only person who'll talk to me.

i'll make you a deal. you get five minutes.

[name]? you still there?

so, what's the secret?

it happens sometimes. you just gotta work at it.

if there's any trouble, you ping me on this, got it?

[name]. she's never been safer. have a good time.

it's an old family spot.

have you spoken with him since you've been back?

[name] warned me that you could get the devil himself to confess his sins.

it's my job to get people to confess.

you gonna run away again?

i'll try not to.

why are you so laser-focused on me?

because there's something different about you.

i don't know what it is yet.

the things you've said, the things you haven't. i've done this long enough to know. and when i know, i'm like a pitbull. i don't let go.

so um, tell me. how am i different?

the world ain't gonna explode if you show a little vulnerability.

so, your plans changed?

come down, right now. be careful!

you get down from there right now, young lady.

hang on, i'm coming!

shh. it's okay. you're gonna be okay.

[name], she's hurt!

[name], i'm not asking for complaints, guilt or criticism. not right now. i just ... i need your help.

she's hurt, [name].

we were attacked. i don't know what to do.

[name], please! careful with her.

it's okay. he's not gonna hurt you.

i'm here. i'm right here.

good to see you again, [name]. it's been a while.

[name], you may not agree with me on anything else, but right now, i'm the best chance she has, so please, please just let me help.

your compassion is admirable, [name].

family is everything.

[name], you look exhausted.

get some rest and we will resume the search in the morning.

i'd say we did pretty well given the circumstances.

[name], i ... i really appreciate you showing up, i do. but this doesn't make us okay. you know, we're not suddenly gonna be best pals.

[name], i need to show you something.

i've known [name] for a long time. he is brilliant. he is cunning. and he will never stop, not until she's captured and you're dead.

you and i don't have to be best pals, but can we at least agree she's the priority?

do you have a plan?

i thought it would be good for all of us to get out of the house.

haven't been in a few weeks.

i repurposed it into a bit of a lab after you moved away.

god, i miss her. her heart, her passion for life. she showed me what it means to be human.

i'm so sorry, [name].

you did a very good thing, [name].

we did a very good thing, [name].

it's just uh ... i'm ... not very good at it.

that sounds just like her.

what are you looking at?

[name]! behind you! look out!

we have to go now.

come on, sweetie. time to go.

we have to get her someplace safe.

[name], where did that come from?

[name], i need an analysis. what do you see?

[name], i don't say this enough. thank you.

we gonna do this together?

nice shooting, [name]. but it’s not gonna make me love you.

you’re breaking my heart.

hold on.

they’re still in here.

and don’t get any ideas.

asshole.

fuck!

i got this.

shut up.

i don’t think they’re the enemy.

i am freely expressing my opinions as a citizen of this world.

this is between you and me now. you don’t want to get on my bad side.

you don’t have to tell me what’s at stake.

i got your back, you stick a knife in mine. clear. now i know.

fine. whatever. your funeral. all of our funerals.

there’s the connection.

not taking my calls?

you got the drop on me last time. now it’s my turn.

it’s alright. you’re going to be okay.

i can see you through the surveillance systems. just give me a little nod if you can do it.

times like this, i’m not sure whether i’m the cat or the mouse. guess i’ll find out if i ever get caught in a trap.

this is what we’re up against.

they want you to take your hurt and turn it into hate.

guess nobody’s what they seem.

very funny.

it’s a safe house. the more i tell you about it, the less safe it gets.

go home. get some sleep, heal up. we’re going to need you.

if you want answers, you’re going to have to get in. these codes ought to get you started.

you killed the cameras, right?

stay close to the wall. don’t let the drones get a good look.

thought you might need a ride if things went south.

shut up and get ready to run.

the mission is a success. congratulations.
