"How do you have one of the Amphorae?" "I can use it to kill Gabriel and Michael and their whole family." "I can't save you, but there is someone I can." "Alex, the boy is like a son." "He needs me." "Maybe sparing Claire, Vega, your unborn baby was too much to offer." "New Delphi is a dangerous place for you to go alone, Michael." "You're strong, but..." "Will you go with me?" "As my brother?" "Fighting on the same side?" "Hmm, be careful." "You might like it." "[screams] [crowd gasps] [crowd chatter]" "[crowd screaming] [alarm blaring]" "Oh, that'll be Gabriel." "He's come back for you, Alex, and after he kills you, he'll go on killing every other human alive, including the ones in Vega you've been fighting so hard to protect." "Is that what you want?" "[crowd screaming]" " I'm not your enemy, Alex." " Prove it." "Tell me how to trap Gabriel in New Delphi, so I can kill him." "I'll be glad to once you return the Amphora to me." "Or I could open this up." "Release God's wrath on all of us." "We don't even know who we're talking to... the angel or the human." "Technically, as a dyad, you're talking to both." "We're fused, remember?" "[crowd screaming]" "Look, we all want Gabriel dead." "I don't see why we can't work together on this." "He does have an army, Alex."
