Confrontation of Loyalty and Temptation
Security Guard
No one is allowed in here.

Confronting Responsibility in Crisis
Satan
It wasn't your fault.
Jericho Cane
I wasn't there.
Satan
No, you were just- You were out doing your job.
Cane
I wasn't fucking there!
Satan
Oh, look at you. Torn apart by guilt. You didn't do anything wrong. You were an honest cop. You didn't take money. You had to testify against them even after they threatened your family. Most people would never testify against those guys. They're not like you. You had to do the right thing. And where was God, hmm? He could've stopped it, but he didn't. He fucked you, then He made you feel guilty. Me, I don't do guilt. I didn't do what happened here. He did. Now you just think about that, then you tell me who's really your friend. I can make it like it never happened. All for the price of a stranger's address.
Cane
NO! You will never see the girl!
[furiously punches the mirror to break illusion]
Satan
Now you're making me upset. You don't want to see me upset.
Jericho Cane
Oh, you want to fuck with me? You think you know bad, huh? YOU’RE A FUCKING CHIOR BOY COMPARED TO ME! A CHIOR BOY!!!
[enraged]
Satan
You're in touch with your anger. I admire that. Well, I don't know about you, but I'm going to have a drink. You and I are so much alike.
Cane
We're nothing alike! Nothing!
Satan
Look at yourself. Look at this. Look at what you are now. You walked away from the light, just like me. You want one?
Cane
You need to get out, now.
Satan
Come on. You know what's in your heart. We're on the same side.
Cane
I'm not on your side, and I never will be.
Satan
You're on His side? He's the one who took away your family. Let me tell you something about Him. He is the biggest underachiever of all time. He just had a good publicist, that's all. Something good happens: "It's His will." Something bad happens: "He moves in mysterious ways." You take that- that overblown press kit they call the Bible. You look for the answer in there, what do they tell you? "Shit happens." Please. He treated you like garbage. You walked away. I'm not the bad guy.
[scoffs]
Cane
What about the End of Days?
Satan
Think of it as a new beginning. A change of management. And you'll be right there with me on the ground floor. It will be so cool. Tell me what you want. Tell me what you really want, and I'll give it to you.
Cane
I'll tell you what I want. I want you to go to hell.
Satan
Well, you see, the problem is sometimes... ...HELL COMES TO YOU!
[lifts Jericho by the throat with one hand]

Discovery of a Priest's Identity
Jericho Cane
Oh, it's us.
Marge Francis
Jesus! How the hell did you two find this place.
Jericho Cane
Lucky guess. So what did you find out?
Marge Francis
His name's Thomas Aquinas. He's a priest.
Jericho Cane
Why don't you tell us something we don't know?
Chicago
A homicidal priest. That's good.
Marge Francis
Yeah? Well, it gets better. He studied at the Vatican. He was one of their alleged visionaries. Came here in 81 to St. John's Church downtown. Six months ago, he disappeared. Priest there say he was having a spiritual crisis.
Chicago
Oh, yeah. That's what this is about. Spiritual crisis.
Jericho Cane
Doesn't make any sense. What's a priest doing shooting at a Wall Street banker?
Marge Francis
A Wall Street banker, by the way, who suddenly disappeared.
Chicago
Maybe we should ask the girl.
Marge Francis
What girl?
Chicago
Uh, the guy. The guy, priest guy.

Learning to Handle a Firearm
Christine York
I'd feel better if you'd show me how to use one of these things. I want to do something. Let me help.
Jericho Cane
All right, here. You take the gun. Line up the sight with your target. Beware the recoil. Here's the magazine. Put it in. Load. Only pull the trigger when you're ready...
[Christine shoots an advancing Satanist]
Christine York
Like that?
Jericho Cane
Yeah, like that.

Confrontation Amidst Apocalyptic Revelations
Thomas Aquinas
Oculus Dei! A thousand years has ended! The Dark Angel is loosed from his prison!
Jericho Cane
Get down on the ground, and put your hands behind your head.
Thomas Aquinas
You don't know what you've done!
Jericho Cane
Get down, or I'll put you down!
Thomas Aquinas
A thousand years has ended! You don't know what you've done!

Morning Exchange Between Chicago and Jericho Cane
Chicago
Honey, I'm home!
Jericho Cane
I was just pulling myself together.
Chicago
It's gonna take a lot more pulling. You are looking very sharp this morning.
[opens the curtains as Jericho shields his face]
Jericho Cane
Thanks.
Chicago
You're welcome. You got about five minutes to get ready. Here. There's enough caffeine in this to kill an elephant. Oughta get you started.
Jericho Cane
So what's today?
Chicago
Transport.
Jericho Cane
Anyone special?
Chicago
No, just some Wall Street scumbag.
Jericho Cane
Why the hell does he need all this protection?
Chicago
Well, I guess he fucked with some people that didn't like being fucked with.
Jericho Cane
Personally, I like scumbags. They pay better.

Understanding the Number of the Beast
Jericho Cane
Why don't you stop all this church talk and tell us what the hell is going on? Who's after her?
Father Kovak
Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll try to explain. You know anything about the number of the beast? Revelation of St. John from his dream?
Christine York
6-6-6?
Father Kovak
The number of the beast is not 6-6-6. Often in dreams, numbers appear upside down and backwards. So, 6-6-6 becomes 9-9-9. Like in 1999, the year of his return.
Christine York
What does that have to do with me?
Father Kovak
Regressus Diaholi: The Return of Satan. Does any of this look familiar to you? She's been chosen. He's in her blood. The Holy Church has been searching for you since the day you were born.
[Christine shows her birthmark]
Christine York
Chosen for what?
Father Kovak
Every thousand years, on the eve of the millennium, the Dark Angel comes and takes a body, and then he walks the Earth looking for a woman who will bear his child. It all has to happen in that unholy hour before midnight on New Year's Eve. If he consummates your flesh with this body, then he unlocks the gate of Hell and everything we know it ceases to exist.
Jericho Cane
So, the Prince of Darkness wants to conquer the Earth, but has to wait until an hour before midnight on New Year's Eve? Is this Eastern time?
Father Kovak
It's got nothing to do with New Year's Eve. It has to do with a temporary celestial alignment. The Gregorian monks studied the heavens. They were able to calculate the precise moment of this event. They created our calendar by mapping this event and counting backwards from that moment.
Jericho Cane
It was a mistake to come here.
Father Kovak
It doesn't matter whether you believe or not. He's real and he won't rest till he finds this girl.
Christine York
Why did he pick me?
Father Kovak
Because the stars were right when you were born. A man's body was also chosen, just like yours.
Jericho Cane
If the devil does exist, why doesn't your God do anything?
Father Kovak
It's not my God. It's our God, and He doesn't say that He will save us. He says that we will save ourselves.
Christine York
Save myself? What am I supposed to do? Get a restraining order?
Father Kovak
We have to have faith.
Jericho Cane
Faith.
Father Kovak
Yes, faith. It's an interesting concept. If you read the Bible, you can't miss it. Faith!
Jericho Cane
Between your faith and my Glock nine-millimeter, I take my Glock. Come on. Let's go.
[to Christine]
Father Kovak
I'm afraid it takes a person of pure heart to defeat pure evil. You did your job. You brought her here to people of faith. We'll protect her. We'll hide her.
Jericho Cane
You know, you live in a different world. We have some real serious problems here, and this is not solving them.
Father Kovak
Satan's greatest trick was convincing man he didn't exist.

Visions Beyond Reality in Crisis
Christine York
I'm sorry. I have a medical condition. Sometimes, I see things that aren't there.

Confrontation Reveals Painful Truths Between Characters
Jericho Cane
You're bleeding!
[somewhat surprised]
Chicago
Of course I'm bleeding! You fucking shot me!
Jericho Cane
I just needed to find out!
Chicago
Well, you found out, okay?!
Jericho Cane
Stop being such a pussy!
Chicago
Pussy? Come on!
Jericho Cane
It's just a scratch.
Chicago
Oh, Christ.
Jericho Cane
Does it hurt?
Chicago
Yeah, what do you think? Jesus. What the hell's matter with you? What's going on?
Jericho Cane
I can't explain it.

A Tense Standoff for Survival
Jericho Cane
No one move, or I'll kill the girl.
Christine York
What are you doing?
Jericho Cane
Trust me.
[whispers into her ear]
Satan
You're not gonna kill her.
Jericho Cane
You said it yourself. I have a dark heart.
Satan
Then stand with me!
Jericho Cane
I'll tell you what. You let us both out of here and I'll stand wherever you want. Step back, or I'll pull the trigger.
[Satan moves]
Satan
I didn't want to kill you, but now you leave me no choice.
