So Fades the Light (2025) Movie Script
1
We rolling?
Place your hearts and eyes
upon us,
brothers and sisters...
ascenders to the holy land
of our God Queen.
I understand
questioning is word.
I do.
But questioning
cannot be allowed
during these times of end
and this time of holy war.
We see the war now
before us on the news
and in the streets
of not just the leftist cities
built in the image of Satan...
cities of sin
partaking in homosexuality
and interbreeding,
fornicators
against our God Queen.
We see these wicked demons
in the clean streets
of our small towns.
We must hold together
and defend God's voice
on the earth
as she grows to claim
her rightful and just throne.
We carry
these ornaments in the name
of our beautiful God Child Sun.
We do and carry. We will.
We will not spare
the rod and the fire.
We are now so few
and we, the ascenders,
we are truly blessed.
We will cut
like a ray of sunshine
through a smoke-filled room.
The very light
of the God Queen herself
will shine through our love
and crash down
upon the smoldering ashes
of the unholy cities.
Our peace will come
through this violent end
in the hands of corruption
by the state,
but we do not answer
to the laws of man.
No, no.
We do not.
We answer to the laws
handed down from on high.
That is my message for today.
But let it...
sing to you for eternity.
Oh.
Hey.
Oh, I see the terrible fear
my words have brought to you.
Oh.
Know this.
We're the lucky few.
We get to know
that these words are truth.
And guess what?
The truth sets us free.
And I love you.
And so does our God Queen.
Please kneel.
You are blessed.
You are blessed
to die for us.
Thank you.
Move it.
The time is near.
The light will fade
before the dawn breaks.
And you, Sun, are the light
that will heal the world.
Gun!
He's down.
Move it. Look out.
They're coming.
Keep this open. Got it?
We will keep you--
Come on, come on.
Hurry up. Come on.
Right. Come on right.
Come on.
Die, fucking pig!
Fuck you.
Fucking pig--
Move it.
Gun!
Come on. Go! Go!
You okay?
Move it.
Here, come on. Come on.
Hello?
Anything else?
-Hon?
-Oh.
-Hmm?
-Oh, sorry. Um...
No, I'm good. Thank you.
You wouldn't happen to have
a phone I could use, would you?
Hello?
Well, look at you.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
It is really good to see you.
All right. Come on.
All right, come on.
Train up a child
in the way he should go.
Even when he is old,
he will not depart from it.
He brings me so much joy.
Although he is
a huge pain in the ass.
There it is.
Used to smile like that
all the time.
Been out on your own
too long.
Come on,
I want to show you something.
Ivan. Oh, my gosh.
- He was a sweet guy.
- Yeah.
Literally, like...
always looking out for me.
Oh.
Oh, my gosh, Sully.
I think
I just gave up on myself.
Let you take over.
I didn't know what I was doing.
And this is
where I passed it on to you.
Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, my God.
-Sun! Hey.
Wait. Hey. Hey.
Wait. Hey.
Wait. Please!
Look, I'm sorry.
I thought it would be fun.
That's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
Stay for dinner.
Please.
So how was everyone's day?
Um, it was good.
Mrs. Birch had us
work on fractions
and Steve farted
super loud in class.
That's enough of that.
You know we don't talk
about that at the table, son.
-This is very good.
-Mm. Thank you.
It's really nice
to have you with us, Sun.
You know, Sun and Mommy
were friends for a long time.
Actually,
since before you even born.
Will Sun
be staying for a while?
Mm.
I, uh, just, like,
a day or two.
It's not a big deal.
We can get you set up
and you can stay
as long as you like.
-It'd be no trouble at all.
-Mm-hmm.
Thanks. Yeah.
Uh, so, uh...
how loud was that?
...into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power,
and the glory forever.
-Amen.
-Amen.
Good night.
Okay.
Sun.
And thou shalt eat
the fruit of thine own body...
the flesh of thy sons
and thy daughters...
in the siege...
and in the straightness...
wherein thine enemies
shall distress thee.
Hi, babe. See you later.
Looks like you're all packed.
Yeah.
You know you don't
have to leave, right?
Yeah, I know.
I just, you know,
gotta go.
I heard you last night.
Everybody did.
Hmm.
Sun, no one's
coming to hurt you.
Yeah. Yeah.
Thank you,
really, for everything.
Uh, for the road,
you know,
in case you get hungry.
Oh.
Thank you.
You're always
welcome back any time.
Yeah.
All right. Take care.
Blessed God Child...
I don't mean to intrude
or be ungrateful
for the work that you do.
I've spoken with The Reverend.
My wife, Amy,
she's still sick
and she's not getting better.
I've prayed and prayed
for her health,
yet she remains ill.
She's getting worse.
What did I do wrong?
I can do better.
Why won't you help me?
-Hmm, ooh.
-Hey.
For you.
Oh, yeah.
Do you think you'll be
staying a while this time?
Maybe. I don't know.
I'm still figuring it out,
I think.
Mmm. Aren't we all?
Oh, true.
Okay.
- Hi, Cordelia, it's Sun.
- Hey, how are you?
Good. How are you doing?
Pretty good.
What can I do for you today?
Uh, I'm cashing
a check today for $357.
-Slide that to you.
-Sounds about right.
And then pistachios...
and I got
a big old bag of jerky as well.
Okay.
Let's see.
Fifty, 100.
-Here.
-That should be about it.
I trust you.
-Okay.
-I trust you.
We're good.
We're good. All right.
So I got that, and I'm good
on the jerky and the peanuts?
Yep. You're all good.
-Thank you.
-Awesome.
- Have a good one.
- I'll be seeing you.
Yo.
Uh, I'm gonna go talk to her.
Hey.
Hey, yo.
My bad.
We just want to know
if we can skate the ledge.
Sorry. Yeah.
Oh, can I get
some of that jerky?
Yo, this jerky is fire.
Uh, I'm Tony.
Uh, I'm a Sag.
And, uh, I love to skate.
Nice. Um, well, I'm Sun.
I don't know my sign...
and...
I love jerky.
That's what's up.
What's this?
That's home.
Um, I haven't back there
in a while,
so I'm trying to figure out
which way
I want to go to get there.
So you're going on a trip
or is this like a journey?
What's the difference?
So a trip
is like going to see something.
A journey,
a journey is going to know it.
Yeah, I don't know. I guess...
I know I need a change.
Oh.
All right.
A journey, then.
You know, all that you touch,
you change.
And all that you change,
it changes you.
God is change.
Octavia Butler said that.
Wow.
What does that mean?
Yo!
Hell yeah!
I think it means...
the world has an idea of you...
and then
you have an idea of you.
And both of those things,
they just don't matter.
What matters is the experience.
And that's what makes you, you.
Hey, it was cool
hanging with you today.
-Yeah, it was great.
-Um, and also,
no road trip is complete
without the proper mixtape.
Uh, this is my road trip mix.
It's-- it's perfect
for a little soul searching
and finding yourself
or whatever.
Uh, here.
Thank you. Wow.
Thanks.
Uh, get on it.
Yeah.
- Bye.
- See you!
- Bye.
- Bye!
Drive safe.
Stay smooth out there.
Who's next?
I-- I-- I did everything right.
And I just
wanted her to be clean.
She wouldn't stop crying.
And I-- I don't even really know
what happened.
I was so zoned out
and all I could hear
was her crying.
Before I knew it...
I had washed her so hard...
...that all of the skin
on her right arm came off.
I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
I really-- I really didn't.
I just--
I was trying to be a good mom.
I didn't know
they'd take my baby away.
Marissa.
Marissa.
Marissa...
we'll hold onto your pain
and your guilt.
And...
and it now
belongs to the ministry.
So you can go be free.
Marissa...
we can all be forgiven
for the monstrous things
this bedeviled world
has made us do.
We can all be forgiven.
Accept a blessing
from the God Child.
Go on, Sun.
We'll find your child, Marissa.
Thank you.
I don't know, my love.
I'm sorry.
-No. No.
-I don't think you understand.
I will die on this hill.
No. Well,
you'll die a lot on this hill.
Because Loretta Lynn...
No, no, I can't.
Hey, neighbor.
Hey, come over here.
Help us settle the debate.
Come here. Come on.
Come on!
-Oh.
-Yes.
-Hi.
-Hi.
I'm Julian.
This is my partner, Patti.
This is the part where
you introduce yourself, honey.
Right. Yeah.
Uh, hello. Hi, I'm Sun.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Okay. All right. All right.
So like I was saying,
we need you
to help us settle a debate.
Okay.
Now who is
the queen of country music?
-It's obvious.
-Oh, my God.
-It's Loretta Lynn.
-No.
No, it's Dolly Parton.
No, without Loretta,
-there is no Dolly.
-Dolly. Dolly.
There is no Dolly
without Loretta.
What do you think?
Um, so I-- uh,
they're both singers?
- Right?
- Oh!
No. Dolly.
Dolly Parton.
With the,
"Mmm, it costs a lot of money
to look this cheap.
You know with the--
and the nails.
-Oh, Dolly.
-"Jolene".
"Jolene".
You have to have heard "Jolene".
Is she a singer?
- Oh, my God.
- All right. Okay.
You traveling
just to travel, Sun?
Yeah. I, um,
I'm actually going home.
I haven't gone home
in a really long time.
So, uh, yeah,
I've made this friend recently
and they called it a journey
and I kind of liked that.
So, you know, on a journey.
Yeah. A journey can
mean a lot of things.
This a spiritual journey?
Sort of. Yeah.
Oh, all right.
I have to get to bed right now.
-Okay.
-Wonderful meeting you.
Nice to meet you too.
-Good night.
-Good night.
I love you.
I love you too, baby.
Yeah, I, uh...
When I think spiritual...
I think religion.
And I just have not had...
the best time with religion.
So...
We started traveling
to see the world.
Or at least
that's what we tell people.
But it was a lot more than that.
Life was...
impossible where we were.
It's just crushing us.
So we had to get out.
And it feels
a lot lighter out here.
And as far as religion goes,
it can be a beautiful thing.
I love God.
And I feel God...
every morning
when I wake up next to Julian.
I think
it's the people that fuck it up.
So I say, love God
wherever you find her...
and stay the fuck away
from the goddamn church.
I'm so sorry.
I'm not.
Besides, that is not your fault.
I don't know,
sometimes it really...
just don't-- I was raised to...
It just honestly really
feels like sometimes
it's all my fault, you know?
I don't know about you,
but I am done
suffering unnecessarily.
Sun...
Sun...
Before the sun drops
below the horizon,
so fades the light
on God's earth.
You will die of your sin.
Damn it!
Ma'am.
Sorry.
Sorry. Uh...
Shoot. Okay. Um...
Sorry, one second, sorry.
What's this?
Welcome to the
Museum of Iron and Fire.
Now, here, come on.
Come on, come on, come on, now.
Come on, you're gonna--
you're gonna love this.
This is great, come on.
Come on in, don't be shy.
This is awesome.
Come here.
So look,
we even got the actual flag
from the church and the podium.
This is where the reverend,
he would stand here
and they would record
his sermons,
so they could get the word out
for people to see.
Here, check this out, over here.
Look at this.
So right here, we-- we saved
these newspaper articles.
So, all this is made possible
by the great reverend,
the king of men,
and the guiding light
to the God Child Sun.
Oh, yeah, right here, come here,
come here, come this way.
You're gonna love this.
This is awesome.
This is actually brilliant.
Right this way.
They're right here.
Come on.
Here you go, right there.
Check that out.
What do you think, huh?
You see, right?
You see?
Amazing, isn't it?
This is cool, huh?
Cool?
Nothing about this is cool.
This is my life.
It's you.
I had no idea.
Come on,
let me get you out of here.
Come on, let me
get you out of here, okay?
You don't need to see this.
You already--
I mean, you lived this.
Come on,
we'll get you right out of here.
Look, right over here,
right this way.
Right here. Check this out.
Right here.
You know, I'd have never
given you that civilian tour.
Had I known. Come on.
This... Come on, right this way.
This stuff, this in here,
that's the real deal.
That's the real shit
right there.
I got collectors out there
who'd pay top dollar
for this real shit.
You know, I-- I know people,
so I can get things.
But...
that right there,
that there on top...
that's my prized possession.
You have no idea how much
I could get for that thing.
Now, I wouldn't sell it at all.
I mean, not-- not now,
but, I mean...
All right.
Just be-- be careful
with it, okay?
Be gentle.
I went through some real shit
to get that thing.
You went through
some real shit to get it?
Some real shit, I mean--
I mean, you have no idea.
I have no idea?
I have no idea?
Fuck you, you piece of shit,!
You have no idea!
Do you know
what I've been through?
What the hell's wrong with you?
What the hell?
Fuck you, I'm taking this
with me, fuck you!
Piece of shit.
-Fuck!
-Hey!
Let me out!
Please, let me out.
Let me out you.
Please, come back! Come back!
Come back
One Bible, red.
One pair of glasses.
Hm. One photograph.
One brown wallet.
Imitation leather.
Everything accounted for?
Hey, hey. Hey, think fast,
fuckin' asshole!
- Oh!
- Oh, shit, did you see that?
Oh, did you see that?
Oh, my God!
So around these place
we like to keep things quiet.
Whatever you do, quiet.
No one should be able
to hear you.
Everybody's here to rest.
No one's really caring
what everyone's doing.
So just keep it down,
whatever you do.
Emily and I haven't been
feeling a connection lately.
I'm worried...
that your teachings
have failed us.
Well, Emily is this is true?
Marcus has been distant
ever since we found ourselves
in the presence of the light.
Well, part of our duty in...
this blessed
sacrament of marriage
is to express ourselves
with our bodies, physically.
Make love.
So, Marcus, when you---
when you don't express yourself,
it is like hiding your light
from our Lord God
and with a wife
so beautiful and so willing...
this is a great sin, Marcus.
Marcus.
I think you should...
leave, okay?
Emily and I have
important work to do here,
just the two of us.
Go on. It's okay.
It's all right, Marcus. Go on.
And, Marcus, please
close the door behind you.
My work with Emily is meant only
for the eyes of our Lord God,
who should see the beautiful way
that we express ourselves.
You're not welcome here.
Well, I have nowhere else to go.
Stay away from here
and stay away from Sun.
Hey!
Get the fuck out of here.
-Asshole.
-Yeah. Get the fuck out of here.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm just gonna have this one,
but everybody else
will get a chance to have
their own fucking doughnuts,
because here's a...
I've been waiting for this.
What the fuck?
Oh, fuck this.
Fuck.
What the fuck--
Kick his ass!
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
No, I'm not fucking okay.
Oh, welcome home.
-It's okay.
-We can talk.
Okay.
Sun, this is in evidence
of God's plan.
- The both of us together here...
- No!
Sun.
That hurt.
Why don't we talk? Okay?
It's good to see you.
Why me?
What was so...
...special about me?
You were born.
Nothing really special.
I mean, you...
...was a cute kid.
Folks could rally behind and...
believe in.
Take some of the pressure
off of me.
Do you know what it's like to...
live beyond all the time?
It's-- it's exhausting.
S-s-so I'm not special?
No.
I bought you.
Fifty dollars
from a junkie whore...
who didn't even cry
when I walked away.
So...
did you believe...
anything that you said to me...
that you said to them?
I don't know.
I mean, they would do
anything for me.
Feed me.
-Fuck me.
-Die for you?
They did.
I wish I hadn't gone that far.
I should have
told them to leave.
But they loved you.
They really, really loved you.
Look what I lost.
Look what I lost.
I mean, what happened to you
was unfortunate.
You understand that, right?
I--
I don't...
forgive you.
Hmm.
You mean nothing to me.
Oh, Sun.
I just needed him
to quit talking!
No. No, no, no, no.
I am so sorry. I am so sorry.
I am so...
I am-- I'm so sorry.
And-- and
I make you angry and...
I didn't-- I didn't mean
to hurt you at all.
Sorry about all of this.
-Okay?
-It's okay.
I didn't mean to upset you.
- Okay?
- Okay. It's okay.
Listen. I-- I--
I couldn't--
I couldn't let him
tell those lies
and those stories about you.
All right? I cou--
I couldn't let him do that.
Okay? I'm...
I know.
I know I'm not worthy
to be in your presence.
I never wanted
to upset you, okay?
I-- I understand why you did
what you did to me
back there at the museum.
You're okay?
You're okay? You're okay?
Everything's okay.
Everything's okay.
You're okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, God Child.
The leader of the last days,
thank you.
It's okay.
He was wrong.
I'm no longer able
to bear the burden...
of being the chosen child.
But...
as the God Child...
I get to relieve my burden...
and give it to someone
worthy and special.
So...
I give you...
my burden...
...and my power...
my essence...
and my blessing.
You are the light
that will heal the world.
-Thank you.
-I must go.
-Thank you.
-I must leave you.
Take care, King.
We rolling?
Place your hearts and eyes
upon us,
brothers and sisters...
ascenders to the holy land
of our God Queen.
I understand

You are blessed.
You are blessed

Move it.
The time is near.
The light will fade
before the dawn breaks.
And you, Sun, are the light
that will heal the world.
Gun!
He's down.
Move it. Look out.
They're coming.
Keep this open. Got it?
We will keep you--
Come on, come on.
Hurry up. Come on.
Right. Come on right.
Come on.
Die, fucking pig!
Fuck you.
Fucking pig--
Move it.
Gun!
Come on. Go! Go!
You okay?
Move it.
Here, come on. Come on.
Hello?
Anything else?
-Hon?
-Oh.
-Hmm?
-Oh, sorry. Um...
No, I'm good. Thank you.
You wouldn't happen to have
a phone I could use, would you?
Hello?
Well, look at you.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
It is really good to see you.
All right. Come on.
All right, come on.
Train up a child
in the way he should go.
Even when he is old,
he will not depart from it.
He brings me so much joy.
Although he is
a huge pain in the ass.
There it is.
Used to smile like that
all the time.
Been out on your own
too long.
Come on,
I want to show you something.
Ivan. Oh, my gosh.
- He was a sweet guy.
- Yeah.
Literally, like...
always looking out for me.
Oh.
Oh, my gosh, Sully.
I think
I just gave up on myself.
Let you take over.
I didn't know what I was doing.
And this is
where I passed it on to you.
Oh, my gosh.

Wait. Hey. Hey.
Wait. Hey.
Wait. Please!
Look, I'm sorry.
I thought it would be fun.
That's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
Stay for dinner.
Please.
So how was everyone's day?
Um, it was good.
Mrs. Birch had us

It's really nice
to have you with us, Sun.
You know, Sun and Mommy

Actually,
since before you even born.
Will Sun
be staying for a while?
Mm.
I, uh, just, like,
a day or two.
It's not a big deal.
We can get you set up
and you can stay
as long as you like.
-It'd be no trouble at all.
-Mm-hmm.
Thanks. Yeah.
Uh, so, uh...
how loud was that?
...into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power,
and the glory forever.
-Amen.
-Amen.
Good night.
Okay.
Sun.
And thou shalt eat
the fruit of thine own body...
the flesh of thy sons
and thy daughters...
in the siege...
and in the straightness...
wherein thine enemies
shall distress thee.
Hi, babe. See you later.
Looks like you're all packed.
Yeah.
You know you don't
have to leave, right?
Yeah, I know.
I just, you know,
gotta go.
I heard you last night.
Everybody did.
Hmm.
Sun, no one's
coming to hurt you.
Yeah. Yeah.
Thank you,
really, for everything.
Uh, for the road,
you know,
in case you get hungry.
Oh.
Thank you.
You're always

Yeah.

I've spoken with The Reverend.
My wife, Amy,
she's still sick
and she's not getting better.
I've prayed and prayed

She's getting worse.
What did I do wrong?
I can do better.
Why won't you help me?
-Hmm, ooh.
-Hey.
For you.
Oh, yeah.
Do you think you'll be
staying a while this time?
Maybe. I don't know.
I'm still figuring it out,
I think.
Mmm. Aren't we all?
Oh, true.
Okay.
- Hi, Cordelia, it's Sun.
- Hey, how are you?
Good. How are you doing?
Pretty good.
What can I do for you today?
Uh, I'm cashing
a check today for $357.
-Slide that to you.
-Sounds about right.
And then pistachios...
and I got
a big old bag of jerky as well.
Okay.
Let's see.
Fifty, 100.
-Here.
-That should be about it.
I trust you.
-Okay.
-I trust you.
We're good.
We're good. All right.
So I got that, and I'm good
on the jerky and the peanuts?
Yep. You're all good.
-Thank you.
-Awesome.
- Have a good one.
- I'll be seeing you.
Yo.
Uh, I'm gonna go talk to her.
Hey.
Hey, yo.
My bad.
We just want to know
if we can skate the ledge.
Sorry. Yeah.
Oh, can I get
some of that jerky?
Yo, this jerky is fire.
Uh, I'm Tony.
Uh, I'm a Sag.
And, uh, I love to skate.
Nice. Um, well, I'm Sun.
I don't know my sign...
and...
I love jerky.
That's what's up.
What's this?
That's home.
Um, I haven't back there
in a while,
so I'm trying to figure out
which way
I want to go to get there.
So you're going on a trip
or is this like a journey?
What's the difference?
So a trip
is like going to see something.
A journey,
a journey is going to know it.
Yeah, I don't know. I guess...
I know I need a change.
Oh.
All right.
A journey, then.
You know, all that you touch,
you change.
And all that you change,
it changes you.
God is change.
Octavia Butler said that.
Wow.
What does that mean?
Yo!
Hell yeah!
I think it means...
the world has an idea of you...
and then
you have an idea of you.
And both of those things,
they just don't matter.
What matters is the experience.
And that's what makes you, you.
Hey, it was cool
hanging with you today.
-Yeah, it was great.
-Um, and also,
no road trip is complete
without the proper mixtape.
Uh, this is my road trip mix.
It's-- it's perfect
for a little soul searching
and finding yourself
or whatever.
Uh, here.
Thank you. Wow.
Thanks.
Uh, get on it.
Yeah.
- Bye.
- See you!
- Bye.
- Bye!
Drive safe.
Stay smooth out there.
Who's next?
I-- I-- I did everything right.
And I just
wanted her to be clean.
She wouldn't stop crying.
And I-- I don't even really know
what happened.
I was so zoned out
and all I could hear
was her crying.
Before I knew it...
I had washed her so hard...
...that all of the skin
on her right arm came off.
I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
I really-- I really didn't.
I just--
I was trying to be a good mom.
I didn't know
they'd take my baby away.
Marissa.
Marissa.
Marissa...
we'll hold onto your pain
and your guilt.
And...
and it now
belongs to the ministry.
So you can go be free.
Marissa...
we can all be forgiven
for the monstrous things
this bedeviled world
has made us do.
We can all be forgiven.
Accept a blessing
from the God Child.
Go on, Sun.
We'll find your child, Marissa.
Thank you.
I don't know, my love.
I'm sorry.
-No. No.
-I don't think you understand.
I will die on this hill.
No. Well,
you'll die a lot on this hill.
Because Loretta Lynn...
No, no, I can't.
Hey, neighbor.
Hey, come over here.
Help us settle the debate.
Come here. Come on.
Come on!
-Oh.
-Yes.
-Hi.
-Hi.
I'm Julian.
This is my partner, Patti.
This is the part where
you introduce yourself, honey.
Right. Yeah.
Uh, hello. Hi, I'm Sun.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Okay. All right. All right.
So like I was saying,
we need you
to help us settle a debate.
Okay.
Now who is
the queen of country music?
-It's obvious.
-Oh, my God.
-It's Loretta Lynn.
-No.
No, it's Dolly Parton.
No, without Loretta,
-there is no Dolly.
-Dolly. Dolly.
There is no Dolly
without Loretta.
What do you think?
Um, so I-- uh,
they're both singers?
- Right?
- Oh!
No. Dolly.
Dolly Parton.
With the,
"Mmm, it costs a lot of money
to look this cheap.
You know with the--
and the nails.
-Oh, Dolly.
-"Jolene".
"Jolene".
You have to have heard "Jolene".
Is she a singer?
- Oh, my God.
- All right. Okay.
You traveling
just to travel, Sun?
Yeah. I, um,
I'm actually going home.
I haven't gone home
in a really long time.
So, uh, yeah,
I've made this friend recently
and they called it a journey
and I kind of liked that.
So, you know, on a journey.
Yeah. A journey can
mean a lot of things.
This a spiritual journey?
Sort of. Yeah.
Oh, all right.
I have to get to bed right now.
-Okay.
-Wonderful meeting you.
Nice to meet you too.
-Good night.
-Good night.
I love you.
I love you too, baby.
Yeah, I, uh...
When I think spiritual...
I think religion.
And I just have not had...
the best time with religion.
So...
We started traveling
to see the world.
Or at least
that's what we tell people.
But it was a lot more than that.
Life was...
impossible where we were.
It's just crushing us.
So we had to get out.
And it feels
a lot lighter out here.
And as far as religion goes,
it can be a beautiful thing.
I love God.
And I feel God...
every morning
when I wake up next to Julian.
I think
it's the people that fuck it up.
So I say, love God
wherever you find her...
and stay the fuck away
from the goddamn church.
I'm so sorry.
I'm not.
Besides, that is not your fault.
I don't know,
sometimes it really...
just don't-- I was raised to...
It just honestly really
feels like sometimes
it's all my fault, you know?
I don't know about you,
but I am done
suffering unnecessarily.
Sun...
Sun...
Before the sun drops
below the horizon,
so fades the light
on God's earth.
You will die of your sin.
Damn it!
Ma'am.
Sorry.
Sorry. Uh...
Shoot. Okay. Um...
Sorry, one second, sorry.
What's this?
Welcome to the
Museum of Iron and Fire.
Now, here, come on.
Come on, come on, come on, now.
Come on, you're gonna--
you're gonna love this.
This is great, come on.
Come on in, don't be shy.
This is awesome.
Come here.
So look,
we even got the actual flag
from the church and the podium.
This is where the reverend,
he would stand here
and they would record
his sermons,
so they could get the word out
for people to see.
Here, check this out, over here.
Look at this.
So right here, we-- we saved
these newspaper articles.
So, all this is made possible
by the great reverend,
the king of men,
and the guiding light
to the God Child Sun.
Oh, yeah, right here, come here,
come here, come this way.
You're gonna love this.
This is awesome.
This is actually brilliant.
Right this way.
They're right here.
Come on.
Here you go, right there.
Check that out.
What do you think, huh?
You see, right?
You see?
Amazing, isn't it?
This is cool, huh?
Cool?
Nothing about this is cool.
This is my life.
It's you.
I had no idea.
Come on,
let me get you out of here.
Come on, let me
get you out of here, okay?
You don't need to see this.
You already--
I mean, you lived this.
Come on,
we'll get you right out of here.
Look, right over here,
right this way.
Right here. Check this out.
Right here.
You know, I'd have never
given you that civilian tour.
Had I known. Come on.
This... Come on, right this way.
This stuff, this in here,
that's the real deal.
That's the real shit
right there.
I got collectors out there
who'd pay top dollar
for this real shit.
You know, I-- I know people,
so I can get things.
But...
that right there,
that there on top...
that's my prized possession.
You have no idea how much
I could get for that thing.
Now, I wouldn't sell it at all.
I mean, not-- not now,
but, I mean...
All right.
Just be-- be careful
with it, okay?
Be gentle.
I went through some real shit
to get that thing.
You went through
some real shit to get it?
Some real shit, I mean--
I mean, you have no idea.
I have no idea?
I have no idea?
Fuck you, you piece of shit,!
You have no idea!
Do you know
what I've been through?
What the hell's wrong with you?
What the hell?
Fuck you, I'm taking this
with me, fuck you!
Piece of shit.
-Fuck!
-Hey!
Let me out!
Please, let me out.
Let me out you.
Please, come back! Come back!
Come back
One Bible, red.
One pair of glasses.
Hm. One photograph.
One brown wallet.
Imitation leather.
Everything accounted for?
Hey, hey. Hey, think fast,
fuckin' asshole!
- Oh!
- Oh, shit, did you see that?
Oh, did you see that?
Oh, my God!
So around these place
we like to keep things quiet.
Whatever you do, quiet.
No one should be able
to hear you.
Everybody's here to rest.
No one's really caring
what everyone's doing.
So just keep it down,
whatever you do.
Emily and I haven't been
feeling a connection lately.
I'm worried...
that your teachings
have failed us.
Well, Emily is this is true?
Marcus has been distant
ever since we found ourselves
in the presence of the light.
Well, part of our duty in...
this blessed
sacrament of marriage
is to express ourselves
with our bodies, physically.
Make love.
So, Marcus, when you---
when you don't express yourself,
it is like hiding your light
from our Lord God
and with a wife
so beautiful and so willing...
this is a great sin, Marcus.
Marcus.
I think you should...
leave, okay?
Emily and I have
important work to do here,
just the two of us.
Go on. It's okay.
It's all right, Marcus. Go on.
And, Marcus, please
close the door behind you.
My work with Emily is meant only
for the eyes of our Lord God,
who should see the beautiful way
that we express ourselves.
You're not welcome here.
Well, I have nowhere else to go.
Stay away from here
and stay away from Sun.
Hey!
Get the fuck out of here.
-Asshole.
-Yeah. Get the fuck out of here.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm just gonna have this one,
but everybody else
will get a chance to have
their own fucking doughnuts,
because here's a...
I've been waiting for this.
What the fuck?
Oh, fuck this.
Fuck.
What the fuck--
Kick his ass!
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
No, I'm not fucking okay.
Oh, welcome home.
-It's okay.
-We can talk.
Okay.
Sun, this is in evidence
of God's plan.
- The both of us together here...
- No!
Sun.
That hurt.
Why don't we talk? Okay?
It's good to see you.
Why me?
What was so...
...special about me?
You were born.
Nothing really special.
I mean, you...
...was a cute kid.
Folks could rally behind and...
believe in.
Take some of the pressure
off of me.
Do you know what it's like to...
live beyond all the time?
It's-- it's exhausting.
S-s-so I'm not special?
No.
I bought you.
Fifty dollars
from a junkie whore...
who didn't even cry
when I walked away.
So...
did you believe...
anything that you said to me...
that you said to them?
I don't know.
I mean, they would do
anything for me.
Feed me.
-Fuck me.
-Die for you?
They did.
I wish I hadn't gone that far.
I should have
told them to leave.
But they loved you.
They really, really loved you.
Look what I lost.
Look what I lost.
I mean, what happened to you
was unfortunate.
You understand that, right?
I--
I don't...
forgive you.
Hmm.
You mean nothing to me.
Oh, Sun.
I just needed him
to quit talking!
No. No, no, no, no.
I am so sorry. I am so sorry.
I am so...
I am-- I'm so sorry.
And-- and
I make you angry and...
I didn't-- I didn't mean
to hurt you at all.
Sorry about all of this.
-Okay?
-It's okay.
I didn't mean to upset you.
- Okay?
- Okay. It's okay.
Listen. I-- I--
I couldn't--
I couldn't let him
tell those lies
and those stories about you.
All right? I cou--
I couldn't let him do that.
Okay? I'm...
I know.
I know I'm not worthy
to be in your presence.
I never wanted
to upset you, okay?
I-- I understand why you did
what you did to me
back there at the museum.
You're okay?
You're okay? You're okay?
Everything's okay.
Everything's okay.
You're okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, God Child.
The leader of the last days,
thank you.
It's okay.
He was wrong.
I'm no longer able
to bear the burden...
of being the chosen child.
But...
as the God Child...
I get to relieve my burden...
and give it to someone
worthy and special.
So...
I give you...
my burden...
...and my power...
my essence...
and my blessing.
You are the light
that will heal the world.
-Thank you.
-I must go.
-Thank you.
-I must leave you.
Take care, King.
