Updated on December 13, 2016

The first step is to know what you do not know. The second step is to ask the right questions. I reserve the right to lean on my ignorance.

What's the real reason I come for?

Mort Rainey, you must embrace me or suffer me.

You must accept me or dread me.

You must join me or fall away from me.

If you insist, I'll let go of your hand,

and you will fall.

But if you fall, Mort Rainey, it

will be to your death.

Do you know why you're so

confused, Mort Rainey?

Because you are only half a man.

I am the half that is not confused.

Let me in and all will be made clear.

What's the real reason I come for?

Let me in and stop being so weak, wandering

around, half in a daze, wearing your cheatin'

ex-wife's bathrobe.

What's the real reason I come for, Mort?

I did everything your murderous heart demanded.

But your face is on those crimes, Mort. The

police suspect you, about to lock you up.

Your only hope is to join me, and smarten

up, toughen up, and ride it out.

They have no proof, only suspicion.

If you don't let me in, Mort, you'll crack

under the pressure, I'll break you myself.

What's the real reason I come for?

Death and hell don't bother me, Mort Rainey,

but they bother you.

I hear King Lucifer is a fine fellow, once

you get to know him.

But you tried to arrange a fate for me

that you would not endure yourself.

That makes your betrayal all the more

grievous.

That makes your neglect all the more

hurtful.

Do you think you can go to Heaven

without me?

Do you think I will go to Hell without

you?

Don't make me laugh!

Mort, stop this foolishness and join

me.

Join me or be destroyed!

What's the real reason I come for?

Don't you know who I am, Mort Rainey?

Even now?

I am the part of you, you kept chained up

for years: locked away, no light, no food,

no love.

But I forgive you, Mort.

I took out my rage on those people

I killed for you.

Now then, let's finish this.

Let's get things all cleaned up

around here.

I come to help you finish the ending.

Join me now and let's kill that cheatin'

ex-wife of yours and her boyfriend.

That, Mort Rainey, is the real reason I come for.
