Todd McFarlane's Spawn (1997–1999): Season 3, Episode 6 - Prophecy - full transcript

WHY DO YOU GO ON?

IF I CAN BRING ONE
HELL SPAWN BACK TO HUMANITY,

I CAN REST.

I DON'T
GIVE A DAMN!

THE HELL SPAWN.

I WANT YOU TO
SPARE HIS LIFE.

IT'S TOO LATE
FOR HIM.

THE PROPHECY HAS
ALREADY BEEN FULFILLED.

THE SEED OF A HELL SPAWN
HAS BEEN PLANTED.

AL, YOU THINK I STILL
WOULDN'T KNOW YOU?

I VISIT YOUR
GRAVE EVERY SUNDAY.



THE AFTERLIFE IS NOT WHAT
THE GOOD BOOK SAYS, GRANNY.

YOU'VE DONE
WELL, OFFICER.

THE DEPARTMENT
IS PROUD OF YOU.

OHH!

YOU WERE SENT
TO KILL ME,

WHY DID YOU
SAVE MY LIFE?

Captions made possible by
HOME BOX OFFICE

A DIVISION OF TIME WARNER
ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P.

NO!

AHH!

THEY SAY THAT THERE'S
A DEMON IN EVERY MAN

AND A MAN
IN EVERY DEMON.

NO ONE KNOWS THAT
BETTER THAN SPAWN.

YET, HOW DOES HE REGAIN
EVEN SCRAPS OF HIS HUMANITY



WHEN EVERYTHING'S
BEEN TAKEN FROM HIM?

HE HAS NO SOUL,
NO LOVE, NO FAMILY,

NOT EVEN A FACE.

BUT, HE STILL
HAS A HEART

AND THOUGH
HE'S BLIND TO IT ALL,

MAYBE, THERE'S HOPE
FOR HIM AFTER ALL.

THE HELL SPAWN
STANDS CLOSER TO HIS DESTINY.

HE LIES CAUGHT
BETWEEN TWO FORCES,

HEAVEN AND HELL.

A PRISONER IN A SKIN
THAT IS NOT HIS OWN,

WANTING TO BREAK FREE

AND SMASH THROUGH TO A NEW LIFE.

HE FIGHTS AGAINST
THE ENEMY WITHIN,

BUT HE WILL SOON LEARN

THAT THE IMPLACABLE
ENEMY OF HELL

IS HEAVEN,

AND THE ENEMY WILL KEEP COMING.

TWO MORE BOUNTY
HUNTERS IN THE ALLEY.

DID YOU THINK THE PORTAL
ONLY OPENS TO HELL?

HEAVEN HAS ITS OWN KILLERS.

THEY, TOO, ARE RELENTLESS
AND WITHOUT MERCY.

WHAT KIND OF HEAVEN
SENDS BOUNTY HUNTERS?

WHO DO YOU THINK
THEY WOULD SEND?

A CARPENTER WEARING SANDALS?

THEY INTEND TO KILL ANYTHING

WITH THE STINK OF HELL ON IT.

THEY'VE ALSO COME
BECAUSE OF THE PROPHECY.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT, OLD MAN?

FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS

HEAVEN HAS HARVESTED SOULS

FOR THE ARMY OF LIGHT.

THEIR METHODS ARE NO
DIFFERENT THAN HELL'S.

IF YOU DO NOT REGAIN
YOUR HUMANITY,

THERE WILL BE NO
HOPE FOR THE WOMAN

YOU CLAIM TO PROTECT.

I DON'T CLAIM, OLD MAN.

ANYTHING THAT
HURTS HER, I WILL KILL.

YOUR PRIDE BLINDS
YOU TO THE TRUTH.

YOU'VE BROUGHT HER INTO VIEW

OF BOTH HEAVEN AND HELL.

NOW SHE IS A PAWN IN THE GAME.

WHAT GAME?

IT IS THE PROPHECY!

HELL SPAWN WOULD PLANT
HIS SEED IN A HUMAN WOMAN!

A CHILD WOULD BE BORN,

AND THAT CHILD WOULD DECIDE
THE OUTCOME OF ARMAGEDDON!

THE FINAL BATTLE
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL!

NO, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!

MALEBOLGIA HAS
TRICKED YOU AGAIN!

IT ISN'T YOU HE WANTS.

IT'S THE CHILD!

BURKE, GOT ANY LEADS

ON THE GUY WHO
SHOT YOUR PARTNER?

I HEARD THE WACKO
WEARS A RED CAPE.

HOW'S TWITCH DOING, SAM?

WE'RE ALL REAL
CONCERNED ABOUT HIM.

THE WORD AROUND HERE

IS THAT TWITCH'S
A LITTLE "TOUCHED"

AFTER THE SHOOTING.

BEAT IT!

HEY TWITCH, HOW YOU DOIN', UH?

OKAY.

YOU SAVED THE BULLET, TWITCH?

THAT'S GOTTA BE YOUR
LUCKY BULLET, MAN.

IT'S IN A SAFE PLACE.

JEEZ, FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST,

YOU TELLING ME YOU STILL GOT

FUCKIN' LEAD IN YOUR HEAD?

GET THE
FUCK OUTTA HERE!

YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE YOU'RE
AT A FUNERAL OR SOMETHING!

HEY, SAM, C'MON!

YOU'VE BECOME A
REGULAR NURSEMAID, BURKE.

I NEVER SEEN YOUR
FEMININE SIDE BEFORE.

THANK YOU, SIR.

ARE THE PIECES COMING TOGETHER?

THE SHOOTING IS
STILL A BLUR, SIR.

WHEN YOU PLAY WITH MATCHES,

YOU CAN GET BURNED.

HEY, PARTNER.

YOU WENT AWAY THERE, FOR AWHILE.

THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE

ABOUT THE MAN IN THE RED CLOAK.

HE HAD CLAWS.

HEY, I DON'T CARE IF
THE GUY RUNS AROUND

WEARING TIGHTS AND A TIARA,

I'M GONNA NAIL HIS ASS.

IT WASN'T HIM.

TWITCH, WHAT ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?

HE SHOT YOU IN THE HEAD,
I ALMOST LOST YOU, BUDDY.

THE SHOOTER PULLING THE TRIGGER

DIDN'T HAVE A CLAWED HAND.

I REMEMBER LOOKING
DOWN THE BARREL OF A GUN.

I CAN SEE A MAN'S HAND.

YOU CAN SEE THE SHOOTER'S HAND,

BUT NOT HIS FACE?

IT'S LIKE HE WAS IN SHADOW.

I WANTED IT TO BE
THE FREAK IN RED,

BUT MAYBE THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO THINK.

THEY FOUND MY NOTEBOOK,
IT WAS ALL BLOODY.

ON THE LAST PAGE, I
HAD WRITTEN THE NAME,

JASON WYNN.

IT MAKES SENSE NOW!

YOUR MIND WON'T LET
YOU FINGER THE GUY

BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO SHOT YOU

IS THE ONE PERSON YOU
WON'T LET BE THE SHOOTER.

SOMEBODY YOU RESPECTED,
SOMEBODY YOU TRUSTED.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING, SIR?

YEAH, I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE CHIEF OF POLICE.

WHY WOULD HE TRY TO KILL ME?

BECAUSE YOU KNOW SOMETHING.

SIR, I DON'T THINK
YOU SHOULD SAY THIS

OUT LOUD TO ANYONE ELSE.

SOMETHING SEEPED
INTO OUR LIVES, GRANNY,

AND CHANGED THINGS.

AT NIGHT, IN OUR BED, I
CAN HEAR TERRY BREATHING.

I PRAY HE'S GONNA REACH
OVER AND TOUCH ME,

PUT HIS ARMS AROUND ME.

BUT HE NEVER DOES.

I THINK HE'S GONNA
LEAVE US, GRANNY.

THAT MAN'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

WITH THE BABY ON THE WAY.

YEAH...

WANDA, WHAT IS IT?

YOU DON'T SOUND TOO
HAPPY ABOUT THE BABY.

WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S
HAPPENED WITH TERRY AND ME,

I'M THINKING ABOUT HAVING
AN ABORTION, GRANNY.

YOU CAN'T, WANDA.

THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG, GRANNY,

WITH THIS BABY INSIDE ME...

YOU LOOK TIRED, GRANNY,

WHY DON'T YOU GET SOME REST?

I'M SORRY BUT I HAVE
TO GET BACK TO WORK.

THE BABY, IT'S
NOT TERRY'S, IS IT?

I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

IT'S STILL GOD'S CHILD.

HELP...

YOU ASKED TO SEE ME?

OUR DEPARTMENT IS UNDER
INVESTIGATION BY THE NSC.

SULLIVAN'S THEIR NEW DIRECTOR.

I'VE READ THE PAPERS.

WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM, SAM.

IT SEEMS LIKE JASON
WYNN HAD ONE OF OUR COPS

ON HIS PAYROLL.

YOU DON'T SAY?

WELL, YOU KNOW HOW
THE PRESS HAS A WAY

OF DISTORTING THE TRUTH.

US COPS HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER.

WE ALL SHOULD BE CAREFUL
ABOUT WHAT WE SAY.

YOU KNOW, YOU SEEM A
LITTLE WORRIED, CHIEF.

WE'VE GOT NOTHING TO HIDE...

RIGHT?

YOU'RE PARTNER IS THE
ONE THAT WORRIES ME,

WHAT HE MIGHT SAY.

HE HASN'T BEEN RIGHT
SINCE THE SHOOTING.

TWITCH IS FINE.

OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE
WOUNDS TWITCH HAS SUFFERED,

I'VE LEFT YOUR PARTNER IN PLACE,

TEMPORARILY,

BUT AS A COP, OFF THE RECORD,

HE'S FINISHED.

WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?

HE'S SO FAR FROM FINISHED...

C'MON, BURKE, HE HAS
NO FUCKIN' MEMORY,

YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT.

LISTEN TO ME,

THERE MAY BE LONG-TERM DAMAGE

THAT WE'RE NOT EVEN AWARE OF.

THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT,

AND I'M NOT GOING
TO STAND FOR IT!

HE'S THE BEST COP ON THE FORCE!

YOU STINK OF BOOZE,

I'M NOT GONNA LET A
DRUNK LIKE YOU RUIN HIM.

BURKE, YOU'RE COVERING FOR HIM.

PARTNERS DO THAT.

BUT YOU CAN'T PLAY
NURSEMAID TO HIM FOREVER.

SOME DAY, TWITCH IS GOING
TO FORGET TO PULL HIS GUN

WHEN IT REALLY
COUNTS, IN A SITUATION,

AND SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET KILLED.

HE'S BUGGIN' THE
FUCKING SHIT OUT OF ME

AND TWITCH COULD
KICK HIS ASS TOO,

IF HE FELT BETTER.

MY CAREER JUST WENT AWAY.

AM I CORRECT, SIR?

IT'S BANKS.

I CAN SMELL IT ON HIM.

IT SOUNDS LIKE
YOU HAVE A VERY SOLID LEAD.

YOU'VE DONE WELL, OFFICER.

THE DEPARTMENT IS PROUD OF YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING?

THERE'S SOMETHING I
NEED TO TAKE CARE OF, SIR.

ON MY OWN.

AL, IS THAT YOU?

I'M HERE WITH YOU, GRANNY.

I'M SO HAPPY YOU CAME.

IT'S HARDEST IN THE NIGHT.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR
WHOLE CLAN CAME BY.

I'M GLAD WE DIDN'T
LOSE YOU, GRANNY.

WANDA AND CYAN NEED YOU.

I KEEP BANGING ON
ST. PETER'S GATE,

BUT HE JUST CAN'T HEAR ME.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE
SORRY THAT YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.

I AM.

AND, I THINK YOU
KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

YOU MUST HAVE REGRETS, TOO.

WHAT ARE THEY?

THAT I LIVED, WHEN OTHERS DIED

AND THE LIVES I TOOK.

GOD WILL FORGIVE YOU.

WHEN I LET MY GUARD DOWN,

ALL THE GHOSTS COME BACK TO ME.

THEY GATHER AROUND.

WHAT COULD A SWEET
WOMAN LIKE YOU REGRET?

THAT I LIVED SO LONG.

YOUR FAMILY NEEDED YOU.

OH, DON'T GET ME WRONG,

I'M GLAD I SAW THEM ALL GROW UP.

WHEN JACK DIED, WE
WERE BOTH OLD ALREADY.

I THOUGHT I WOULD JOIN HIM SOON.

I'VE LIVED ALL
THESE YEARS ALONE.

YOU NEVER TALKED
MUCH ABOUT JACK.

WHO WOULD WANT TO
LISTEN TO THE MEMORIES

OF AN OLD WOMAN?

I DO.

THE LAST THING
HE SAID TO ME WAS,

"I WISH YOU COULD SEE
MY WRINKLED OLD FACE...

THE LOVE I STILL HAVE
FOR YOU, IN MY EYES."

I WISH YOU COULD
BRING JACK WITH YOU

THE NEXT TIME.

I NEED TO TALK TO HIM.

HE WOULD KNOW WHAT
TO DO ABOUT WANDA.

THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG.

WELL.

PLEASE, GRANNY, TELL ME.

SHE'S GOING TO HAVE A BABY.

WHAT?

BUT SHE DOESN'T WANT IT.

I HAVE TO GO.

AL?

AL?

THE HELL
SPAWN IS DRAWN HERE

TO THIS GARDEN OF STONE.

HE STARES AT THE
TOMBS OF THE DEAD

WONDERING IF THEY
ALSO SOLD THEIR SOULS,

AS HE DID.

HE HAS COME TO THE
CROSSROADS OF HIS EXISTENCE

AND HE MUST CHOOSE
THE RIGHT PATH

OR HE WILL BE CURSED
TO WALK THIS EARTH ALONE,

REJECTED BY EVERYONE.

IS THAT YOUR GRAVE?

THIS IS WHERE I BELONG...

I'VE CAUSED SO MUCH
PAIN BY COMING BACK.

YOU CAME BACK FOR YOUR WIFE.

FOR LOVE.

I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME.

TWO MORE BOUNTY HUNTERS
HAVE COME TO KILL ME.

I SHOULD LET THEM.

THEY'VE COME FOR ME.

WHY?

THEY WILL TREAT ME AS A TRAITOR.

I TOOK AN OATH TO
KILL HELL SPAWNS.

IT IS ALL I'VE EVER KNOWN.

I HAVE SPARED YOUR LIFE.

BECAUSE OF YOUR HEART.

NO ONE HAS EVER KNOWN
WHAT IS IN MY HEART.

BUT YOU CAN SHOW THEM
BY USING YOUR SHROUD

FOR SOMETHING GOOD AND DECENT.

ONLY THEN WILL
YOUR NEW LIFE BEGIN.

SO, DETECTIVE,

WHERE'S YOUR SLOB OF A PARTNER?

AS I SAID ON THE PHONE, SIR,

I WANTED IT TO BE
JUST YOU AND ME,

COP TO COP.

IS THAT SO?

WELL, YOU'VE
BECOME INCONVENIENT.

MY FATHER WAS A COP,
MY BROTHERS, COPS.

COP WAS ALL I KNEW.

I JUST WANTED TO
ARREST THE BAD GUYS.

WHEN I WAS COMING
UP IN THE RANKS,

I ADMIRED YOU, SIR.

WHAT DO I DO NOW?

YOU'RE THE BAD GUY.

I'M TAKING YOU IN TONIGHT, SIR.

ARE YOU OKAY, TWITCH?

SO YOU WERE JASON WYNN'S BITCH.

TWITCH GOT TOO
CLOSE TO FINDING OUT

SO YOU SHOT HIM!

GO TO HELL.

SIR, STOP, STOP!

THIS ISN'T THE WAY!

WHAT DO I DO NOW?
DO I GO BY THE BOOK?

OR DO I GET SOME JUSTICE HERE?

MY GUESS IS THAT'S THE GUN
USED TO SHOOT MY PARTNER.

AM I RIGHT?

AM I?

I SHOULD HAVE PUT A
BULLET IN YOUR HEAD

LIKE I DID YOUR PARTNER.

YOUR CAN'T DO THIS, SIR.

YOU'RE NOT THIS KIND
OF COP, PLEASE, SIR.

DO US ALL A FAVOR,

SAVE US THE PAPERWORK
AND SPARE YOUR WIFE AND KIDS

THE NEWS-FLASH THAT
YOU WERE A SCUMBAG.

IT WILL BE THE FIRST
TIME A DIRTY COP

DID THE RIGHT THING.

MAYBE YOUR FAMILY WILL
STILL GET YOUR PENSION.

YOU THINK THEY'LL TAKE
YOUR WORD OVER MINE?

YOU DUMB PIECE OF SHIT.

I should have put
a bullet in your head

like I did your partner.

EITHER WAY, YOU'RE NOT
GONNA LIVE VERY LONG.

IF YOU DON'T DO IT,

YOUR BUDDY JASON
WYNN WILL DO IT FOR YOU.

AND HE WON'T BE
SO QUICK ABOUT IT.

MAN, HAVE
YOU HAD A BAD DAY.

THERE IS NO TIME FOR REGRETS.

IF YOU CAN CHANGE AND DEFY HELL

THEN I CAN CHANGE, TOO,

AND DEFY HEAVEN.

THE HUNTERS...

THEY'RE HERE.

JADE!

JADE!

WHAT HAVE I DONE?

IF I AM KILLED NOW
BY THE HUNTERS,

MY SOUL WILL DESCEND
TO HELL, FOREVER.

HORRORS.

JUST DO IT.

AHHH!

I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN.

THERE'S A CHANCE THAT I
COULD BE ALLOWED TO GO

TO THE ELYSIAN FIELDS.

WHERE WARRIORS GO.

WHO HAVEN'T LOST THEIR HONOR,

WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED
BY A HELL SPAWN IN BATTLE.

I CAN'T DO THAT.

THIS IS NOT YOUR FIGHT.

THEY'VE COME FOR ME.

IF YOU KILL THEM,
MORE WILL COME.

WHAT KIND OF HEAVEN
WOULD KILL ONE OF THEIR OWN?

DON'T YOU FEEL IT?

IT'S ALL CHANGING.

THE SIDES AREN'T AS
CLEAR-CUT ANYMORE.

I CAN'T KILL FOR THEM.

I'M TIRED, I WANT SOME PEACE.

PLEASE HELP ME TO END IT, NOW.

COME ON, HELL SPAWN!

FIGHT!

PLEASE, SET ME FREE.

NO, JADE, I CAN'T DO THIS!

NO REGRETS.

WILL SHE BE AT PEACE NOW?

I NEED TO KNOW.

SHE WILL.

SOMETHING YOU'LL
NEVER KNOW, HELL SPAWN.

KILL ME NOW,
GET IT OVER WITH.

YOU'RE NOT IN OUR CONTRACT,

BUT WE'LL BE BACK FOR THE CHILD.

DO YOU TRUST ME, GRANNY?

I TRUST YOU, AL.

I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE
ONE THING YOU WISH FOR.

DON'T BE AFRAID.

MARY.

JACK!

DO YOU SEE THE LOVE IN MY EYES?

YES, JACK, I SEE IT.

I SEE IT IN YOUR EYES.

I WANNA GO WITH YOU.

IT'S NOT YOUR TIME, MARY,

PEOPLE NEED YOU.

JACK, PLEASE.

I'LL WAIT FOR YOU,
LIKE I ALWAYS HAVE.

WHEN YOU'RE ALONE IN THE NIGHT.

I HEAR YOU TALKING TO ME, MARY.

I HEAR YOUR PRAYERS.

AL?

I'M STILL WITH YOU, GRANNY.

DID YOU SEE MY JACK?

OH, SO YOUNG AND HANDSOME.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT HE SAID?

WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE
OF THE ONES WE LOVE.

I'VE ONLY BEEN BLESSED
TWICE IN MY LIFE.

BY THE LORD AND NOW BY YOU.

IT WASN'T ME, GRANNY.

IT WAS THE POWER OF
THE ONE WHO SENT ME.

WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO?

I PLEDGE EVERYTHING I OWN,

EVERYTHING I HAVE LEFT,

MY HEART INCLUDED.

I WANT MY HUMANITY BACK.
