Im bored.
Do you remember
when I first met you?
Fitzherbert wanted
to get rid of you.
Hurt. Hurt me.
[Chuckles]
And what did I do?
You talked to him.
And?
You fought with him.
And?
And you broke his knee.
And held him down,
while I cut his heart out.
How could I let him waste
such talent? Such beauty.
[Phone rings]
Johnson, what do you
want done with the body?
What? That doesnt matter, you-
Hes a sleeve walker,
you have to move, fast.
What are you doing?
- We th-
- No, leave the bag! We have to go now.
No! We leave it and we walk.

Youre not done yet.
We need you to do one last thing.
You have what you wanted, Im done.
And yet youre still here.
Give me my exit.
I dont know why they came
after you, or what they wanted...
...but you still have a job.
And get over yourself,
Its not like you have a choice.
After this one, you can go,
you have my word.
Its a delivery.
Heres the place,
only to this man, no one else.
Intact. Unhurt.
Is there a problem?
Thats not what I do.
Since when do you even-
One last time Clay.
Remember, youre close.
Very close.
Call me when she is safe.
Safehouse, in case you need it.
Ill come to you when its done.
And yes... Ill bring it with me.
Unhurt? By who?
Something you need to
stay away from.
[Chaotic music]
[Phone rings]
Hi.
The waiting is over my darling,
shes out and alone.
Go and get her for me.
Ok!
What would I do without you?
See you soon.

[Subvocal sound]
[Street noise, footsteps]
She was gone.
She was close... and then gone.
OOna, it wasnt your fault.
I know who took her from you.
And I know who sent that... convict.
The Boss?
Come to me my pet, theres more business
to attend to and I need you with me.

[Kicks]
Move!
[Hitting]
[Henchman groans]
[Pounding music builds]
[Gasping]
Who was it?
I dont know.
[Groans in pain]
[Twists knife]
Johnson! Johnson!
[Ominous music]
[Voices whispering]
[Swishes cane]
[Tense music]
You can always try.
And I thought you wanted to make
things easier for me?
Yes, yes, our deal, I know.
Youll have them soon, especially her.
And yet shes nowhere to be seen.
Soon-
She was supposed to be the first one.
Shell be next, I know where she is!
Do you now?
She is being protected
by a Sleeve Walker!
But youre here. And youre one of them.
You need me, I know where she is!
You need me-
No. I need her.
[Voices whispering]
[Learza absorbing energy]
Feed me.
[Cracks his neck]
[Exhales]
[Voices whispering]
Early seven hundreds.
Im sure you remember that time fondly.
I do.
You shouldve been quicker.
[Voices whispering]
[Learza absorbing energy]
[Whisper]
[Pen scribbling]
[Door opens]
Mercurio, is that you?
[Ominous music]
Oh, Its definitely him.
What are you doing?
As soon as the Judges find out-
Oh come on Athena, since when
has that ever worked with me?
Youre too late.
Shes gone.
And you think assigning one of those convicts
to babysit her will keep her from me?
Save us both some time and
just tell me where she is.
Did I stutter?
Yes, I think you did, Johnson.
Ive dealt with his kind before.
And how did that work out?
Hell get what he wants,
hell stop being a pain.
You want the Exit.
Mercurio wont give it up just like that.
He always wants something in return.
And I wonder what that might be?
You know how it works.
One of you dies, the rest get stronger.
You better find her.
That thing is not going to wait for you.
Oh, I nearly forgot.
As long as Clay is still with her-
What?
That youre trying to buy time
for them, is borderline pathetic.
How much time do you think you have?
More than you do.
And here I was, thinking I could
talk you out of your cunning plan.
You thought wrong.
[Taps cane on floor]
OOna!
[Giggles]
[Hits]
[Wistful music]
[Unfolds paper]
[Footsteps]
[Swishes cane]
Where is it?
Johnson, Johnson!
- Dont make me ask again.
[Tosses away cane]
Hey, we had a deal.
I know that.
The judges. They gotta go.
Her death wasnt enough.
Can I have him?
[Sinews creak]
Impatience it seems crackles
in the very air tonight!
Im a man of my word. Theyll know.
Some of them wont accept this.
Then some of them will have to go.
Listen, alright?
Youre safe after that.
The Exits right there-
If I wasnt trying to
be a good example-
And if she wasnt so fond of you.
Theyll get the message.
You know, times running out for him.
Hes gonna go for help.
Thats why I need the Exit.
Hey, dont shoot the
messenger buddy.
Hes not gonna leave
her alone now.
Then Ill make him.
[Dial tone]
[Connection sounds, phone rings]
Priest, 7177.
[Different ring tone,
picks up phone]
Who is this?
This is Clay.
Ah lad, I heard what happened.
Did she... did she leave
you something?
Yes. Do you know what it means?
I... I might.
But there is my past, Clay.
A past I dont want to relive.
And this-
I need your help.
Im not longer what I used to be lad, you know that.
Be that... [exhales]
be that as it may.
Im stuck here and youre
the only one I can trust.
Ok. Tomorrow. You know where I am.
One more thing.
Im not alone.

Clay... [whispers]
[Street noise]
Wait. Give me your phone.
[Punches in number]
Only if you need to.
[Street noise, rain]
[Opens door]
[Cafe noise]
Hey, Maya! What would
you like today? The usual?
[Taps]
Normal milk, right?
[Tap]
Great, anything else?
[Tap-tap]
What would you like?
Black. Two sugars.
Alright, it will be a couple of minutes.
You can nod, or shake your head.
[Tap-tap]
Course.
[Ominous music]
Its already out of hand!
Are you blind? Learza is...
We dont have anything
that can stop it!
We need to move quickly.
We need a decision-
And a decision has been made.
How did you get here?
You know, I love these
little entrances.
A testament to your
enduring incompetence.
I dont have to listen to you and-
Get to the point Johnson.
Why are you here?
Oh no, no, not my point... his!
Hi ya judges! Sorry to interrupt your whos playing
God time, but Ive a message for you.
Im in charge now. And fron now on,
theres a new boss.
Me! [Giggles]
And you better keep those seats warm,
cos its voting time.
Lets see whos in.. And whos out!
How do you propose we do this vote?
Oh, Im well ahead of you. At this point,
so is everybody!
But before we seal the deal, a drink?
To more efficient times.
I havent got all day.
[Clink of glasses]
[Slammed down]
[Glasses dropped, bodies fall]
[Liquid corrodes and sizzles]
See? I knew we could be reasonable!
[Street noise]
[Heavy doors open]
[Faint choral music]
[Heavy doors closed]
[Footsteps echo]
[Footsteps]
Clay, is that you?
Ah, I knew it lad.
Well... welcome!
[Rattles]
[Footsteps echo, heavy rain]
[Voices whispering]
[Dramatic music]
[Screaming echoes]
[Organic sound of energy absorbed]
[Rain outside]
[Faint choral music, turbulent time.
Do you know who did it?
Mercurio, he did it.
I never trusted that prick!
Forgive me. She didnt
deserve to go that way.
I know this fellow.
He couldnt do it by himself, he needed help.
You sure it was him?
He wasnt there.
What about her?
Its not my problem anymore.
And you? I heard she was your
last assignment, right?
I believe you dont have
much time left.
I dont.
I need my Exit. I want out.
I know you do lad.
but trust me, youre never truly out.
Sentences are payed.
They leave scars.
Scars that never heal.
This is the symbol of the Nine.
The little I know is too much to bear.
It means darkness Clay, death.
Since when were you afraid of death?
Its not what you think it is,
its death for your soul.
[Voices whispering]
Done by a demon, that can take many forms.
And it needs nine souls.
Boss never told me about this.
Ah lad, she has a soft spot for you.
But shes not your cross to bear.
Whatever this is, stay away from it.
You do know, right?
[Faint echos]
I still can hear things.
Even from here.
Horrendous, murderous.
Killing by fire.
Burnt?
Yes burnt.
Their organs scorched.
They must have felt how hell feels inside them.
I dont know much apart from where
it happened one time, but-
I have to go.
I cant stop you lad. By God I wish I could.
I will look after her.
And I will pray for your safe return.
Dont pray too long.
[Faint echos]
[Metro noise]
[Music]
[Faint whisper]
[Ominous music]
ARES.
[Kicks leg]
Time, we dont have it.
You dont have it. Come!
[Light footsteps]
[Cafe noise]
Hello.
You know, Im handing you my life.
[Laughs]
[Slams against table]
[Groans in pain]
Evening!
[Giggles]
[Ghostly sounds]
Youve been following me.
[Speaks in echo]
Follow?
Throughout the years many things have
been following you, not me.
Get it clear you were on my way.
Come on Clay, be honest with yourself.
I know what youre after.
Howd you-
Because thats why youre still here.
Why death is licking at your heels.
Time is running out, not only for you.
Youre on the right path, but youre
after the wrong thing.
Im done, I want my Exit.
Far, far, far...
You are far from done.
You may repeat yourself, but that
doesnt make it any more true.
Where is she?
Who are you talking about?
Open your eyes.
[Paper scrunching, sound of energy absorbed]
She is-
Yes, she is one of us.
Only few of us are left, and death
will be after her too.
Its not my-
I cant be part of this.
Death is after me too, Im done.
But Maya stands a chance.
Theres nothing left for me to choose.
I cant stay here.
Nothings stopping you Clay, only you.
But whatevers left, save it.
Before its gone.
[Footsteps]
Now what?
[Satisfied sound]
Im going to send you out to play again, my pet.
Bring her to me my sweet.
Bring her to me.
[Praying, inaudible]
[Banging on doors]
Hide!
[Doors smashed]
[Ominous music]
[Music builds]
I really love what youve
done with the place.
Very you.

[Breathless]
Shit.
I really liked that jacket.
[Dramatic music]
Ah, John, of all the places... here?
Cael, I know who sent you.
He didnt give you a chance, but I do.
Leave!
Its end of the road, John.
End of the road.
Johnny, John, John... Dont be a fool.
John was no more.
John was not here.
But today...
Today...
YOU FOUND HIM!
[Stabs]
[Coughs, wheezing]
[Kicks]
[Crunching bone]
[Breathing hard]
[Crunching bone]
[Clapping]
To err is human.
To forgive... divine.
[Breaks neck]
[Smashes bone]
John, please... Please!
It is easier to forgive an enemy,
than a friend.
But dont worry...
You were never my friend.

You and your toys.
Enjoying yourself?
Lifes short, man.
Yes, for some.
I have a favour to ask.
Hey, wheres that pet of yours?
I have a surprise for her.
[Laughs]
[Inhales]
Thats a very beautiful hand, my dear.
I assume you like it attached to your body?
Its Clay.
I need you to keep him distracted.
He eluded your people!
[Laughs]
Let me... Let me handle it.
Keep him occupied. For a while.
I thought you wanted him out?
Power has dulled your edge, Mercurio.
Theres a big difference between what I want,
and whats going to happen.
So long.
[Digital stutter]
[Voices whispering]
[Learza absorbing energy]
Oh Maya, Maya, Maya...
Lets make this easier for everyone,
shall we?
Lets make this easier for everyone,
shall we?
[Ropes creak]
Oh, no no no... not now, my pet.
OOna... please.
I need you to do something for me.
Mercurio!
Yes... I need you to check on that man.
He shouldve be done with the convict by now.
Ok!
Try not to look too happy about it!
The Sleeve Walker?

[Groan]
OOna... please... please...
[Groaning in pain]
Tell him! OOna... OOna... just tell him!
No-no... Please-
[Hits]
[Cries in pain]
Shit!
Ah! Just tell him!
Just tell him already!
Please!
Where is he?
[Phone rings]
My darling pet-
I know where you are.
I could pay you a visit.
What have you done with her?
Or you can just meet me.
[Dial tone]
[Inhales]
[Snarls, smashing phone]
[Breathing hard]
[Street noise]
[Voices whispering]
[Wood creaks]
What a surprise.
Clay, right?
Were really still playing that game?
Predictable.
Still, I know what youre really here for.
Here-
Now time is running out, and
something needs feeding.
Good! Good choice.
Are you delusional?
I gave you a chance, take it!
Youre wasting my time!

Are you blind? Learza is...
We dont have anything
that can stop it!
We need to move quickly.
We need a decision-
And a decision has been made.
How did you get here?
You know, I love these
little entrances.
A testament to your
enduring incompetence.
I dont have to listen to you and-
Get to the point Johnson.
Why are you here?
Oh no, no, not my point... his!
Hi ya judges! Sorry to interrupt your whos playing
God time, but Ive a message for you.
Im in charge now. And fron now on,
theres a new boss.
Me! [Giggles]
And you better keep those seats warm,
cos its voting time.
Lets see whos in.. And whos out!
How do you propose we do this vote?
Oh, Im well ahead of you. At this point,
so is everybody!
But before we seal the deal, a drink?
To more efficient times.
I havent got all day.
[Clink of glasses]
[Slammed down]
[Glasses dropped, bodies fall]
[Liquid corrodes and sizzles]
See? I knew we could be reasonable!
[Street noise]
[Heavy doors open]
[Faint choral music]
[Heavy doors closed]
[Footsteps echo]
[Footsteps]
Clay, is that you?
Ah, I knew it lad.
Well... welcome!
[Rattles]
[Footsteps echo, heavy rain]
[Voices whispering]
[Dramatic music]
[Screaming echoes]
[Organic sound of energy absorbed]
[Rain outside]
[Faint choral music, turbulent time.
Do you know who did it?
Mercurio, he did it.
I never trusted that prick!
Forgive me. She didnt
deserve to go that way.
I know this fellow.
He couldnt do it by himself, he needed help.
You sure it was him?
He wasnt there.
What about her?
Its not my problem anymore.
And you? I heard she was your
last assignment, right?
I believe you dont have
much time left.
I dont.
I need my Exit. I want out.
I know you do lad.
but trust me, youre never truly out.
Sentences are payed.
They leave scars.
Scars that never heal.
This is the symbol of the Nine.
The little I know is too much to bear.
It means darkness Clay, death.
Since when were you afraid of death?
Its not what you think it is,
its death for your soul.
[Voices whispering]
Done by a demon, that can take many forms.
And it needs nine souls.
Boss never told me about this.
Ah lad, she has a soft spot for you.
But shes not your cross to bear.
Whatever this is, stay away from it.
You do know, right?
[Faint echos]
I still can hear things.
Even from here.
Horrendous, murderous.
Killing by fire.
Burnt?
Yes burnt.
Their organs scorched.
They must have felt how hell feels inside them.
I dont know much apart from where
it happened one time, but-
I have to go.
I cant stop you lad. By God I wish I could.
I will look after her.
And I will pray for your safe return.
Dont pray too long.
[Faint echos]
[Metro noise]
[Music]
[Faint whisper]
[Ominous music]
ARES.
[Kicks leg]
Time, we dont have it.
You dont have it. Come!
[Light footsteps]
[Cafe noise]
Hello.
You know, Im handing you my life.
[Laughs]
[Slams against table]
[Groans in pain]
Evening!
[Giggles]
[Ghostly sounds]
Youve been following me.
[Speaks in echo]
Follow?
Throughout the years many things have
been following you, not me.
Get it clear you were on my way.
Come on Clay, be honest with yourself.
I know what youre after.
Howd you-
Because thats why youre still here.
Why death is licking at your heels.
Time is running out, not only for you.
Youre on the right path, but youre
after the wrong thing.
Im done, I want my Exit.
Far, far, far...
You are far from done.
You may repeat yourself, but that
doesnt make it any more true.
Where is she?
Who are you talking about?
Open your eyes.
[Paper scrunching, sound of energy absorbed]
She is-
Yes, she is one of us.
Only few of us are left, and death
will be after her too.
Its not my-
I cant be part of this.
Death is after me too, Im done.
But Maya stands a chance.
Theres nothing left for me to choose.
I cant stay here.
Nothings stopping you Clay, only you.
But whatevers left, save it.
Before its gone.
[Footsteps]
Now what?
[Satisfied sound]
Im going to send you out to play again, my pet.
Bring her to me my sweet.
Bring her to me.
[Praying, inaudible]
[Banging on doors]
Hide!
[Doors smashed]
[Ominous music]
[Music builds]
I really love what youve
done with the place.
Very you.
[Metal ripped out]
[Swishes]
[Metal impact]
[Metal hitting wood]
[Smack, metal clangs and
Drops]
[Drops cane]
[Groaning with effort]
[Choking]
[Wood breaks]
[Stabs in the throat]
[Twisting]
[Tosses away]
[Breathless]
Shit.
I really liked that jacket.
[Dramatic music]
Ah, John, of all the places... here?
Cael, I know who sent you.
He didnt give you a chance, but I do.
Leave!
Its end of the road, John.
End of the road.
Johnny, John, John... Dont be a fool.
John was no more.
John was not here.
But today...
Today...
YOU FOUND HIM!
[Stabs]
[Coughs, wheezing]
[Kicks]
[Crunching bone]
[Breathing hard]
[Crunching bone]
[Clapping]
To err is human.
To forgive... divine.
[Breaks neck]
[Smashes bone]
John, please... Please!
It is easier to forgive an enemy,
than a friend.
But dont worry...
You were never my friend.
[Choral music]
[Exhales]

[Wheezing]
[Wood scraping on concrete]
[Heavy impact]

[Clicks]
[Hinges creak]
[Closed]
[Footsteps]
[Digital stutter]
You and your toys.
Enjoying yourself?
Lifes short, man.
Yes, for some.
I have a favour to ask.
Hey, wheres that pet of yours?
I have a surprise for her.
[Laughs]
[Inhales]
Thats a very beautiful hand, my dear.
I assume you like it attached to your body?
Its Clay.
I need you to keep him distracted.
He eluded your people!
[Laughs]
Let me... Let me handle it.
Keep him occupied. For a while.
I thought you wanted him out?
Power has dulled your edge, Mercurio.
Theres a big difference between what I want,
and whats going to happen.
So long.
[Digital stutter]
[Voices whispering]
[Learza absorbing energy]
Oh Maya, Maya, Maya...
Lets make this easier for everyone,
shall we?
Lets make this easier for everyone,
shall we?
[Ropes creak]
Oh, no no no... not now, my pet.
OOna... please.
I need you to do something for me.
Mercurio!
Yes... I need you to check on that man.
He shouldve be done with the convict by now.
Ok!
Try not to look too happy about it!
The Sleeve Walker?
[Music builds]
Forget him.

[Hinges creak]
[Groan]
OOna... please... please...
[Groaning in pain]
Tell him! OOna... OOna... just tell him!
No-no... Please-
[Hits]
[Cries in pain]
Shit!
Ah! Just tell him!
Just tell him already!
Please!
Where is he?
[Phone rings]
My darling pet-
I know where you are.
I could pay you a visit.
What have you done with her?
Or you can just meet me.
[Dial tone]
[Inhales]
[Snarls, smashing phone]
[Breathing hard]
[Street noise]
[Voices whispering]
[Wood creaks]
What a surprise.
Clay, right?
Were really still playing that game?
Predictable.
Still, I know what youre really here for.
Here-
Now time is running out, and
something needs feeding.
Good! Good choice.
Are you delusional?
I gave you a chance, take it!
Youre wasting my time!
[Swishes]
[Wood hits metal]
[Growls]

Oh bunny, bunny...
[Sighs, nails scratching wood]
Smells good-

[Gasps]
[Final gasp]
[Whispers intensify, and fade]
[Soft footsteps]
