1:22:01
I kill no one.
1:22:03
They all three died by their own hands.
1:22:06
Ritual victims of their own institutions...
1:22:09
murdered by irony.
1:22:12
"An eye for an eye"."
1:22:15
Biblical retribution.
1:22:18
Schaefer was first, because he killed God.
1:22:22
God was admitted
to this hospital last Monday...

1:22:25
under the name of Guernsey.
1:22:27
I was instantly aware of a divine presence.
1:22:30
I was convinced this porcelain old man
was an angel of the Lord...

1:22:35
perhaps even Christ himself.
1:22:38
Our savior was suffering from emphysema.
1:22:42
He was relentlessly subjected
to the benefits of modern medicine...

1:22:45
and died at 7:30 that evening.
1:22:48
A few hours later,
he appeared to me in a revelation.

1:22:52
Rise up, Drummond.
1:22:56
You are dead, now you are restored.
1:23:00
Those who killed you,
and those who killed me...

1:23:04
will die in our place.
1:23:08
You are the Paraclete of Caborca.
1:23:12
The wrath of the lamb.
1:23:15
The angel...
1:23:17
of the bottomless pit.
1:23:26
Not quite the burning bush, perhaps,
but prodigal enough for me.

1:23:31
I was to avenge the death of God,
and my own brutalization.

1:23:35
I was to kill doctors Schaefer,
Ives, and Welbeck...

1:23:39
and the dialysis nurse, Miss Campanella...
1:23:41
whose negligence caused my coma.
1:23:44
I awaited a further sign from God,
which was given to me later that evening.

1:23:48
Dr. Schaefer had arranged an assignation...
1:23:51
with a girl from the Hematology Lab
named Sheila.

1:23:56
Boy, I sure hope nobody walks in.
