EC ROTEK Vol 0 Ch 3: Miyamoto Dark Secret Revealed/LMJ's Death

"Tell me where he is!"

("Who is she talking about dear?")

("She's talking about the youngest son of the Tsukihiro Clan.")

("The descendant?")

("Yes.")

"HELLO!!!"

"Yes?"

"Where is he!?"

"Who are you even talking about?"

"I'm talking about Aoki Tsukihiro, you numbskull!"

"..."

"..."

"You tell me where he is, or I will force you to tell me!"

"We're not telling you his whereabouts."

"Oh, I see..."

"Then tell me this..."

"Leon Morris Jr."

"Skylar Miyamoto."

"Does everyone in the Netherworld knows about your deepest darkest secret?"

(Leon and Skylar was in disbelief that the Deity Of Lust revealed their secret.)

(Everyone in Juvaki City was shocked that Leon is an Archangel from heaven, married a fallen angel, and keeping their secret from Demons and Angels.)

(Kiyomi and Aoki hid in the warehouse to prevent from being seen.)

"Did you really think I was that stupid?"

"I did my research."

"Now, you have two choices."

"You can tell me where Aoki Tsukihiro is..."

"Or..."

"One of you will be executed for breaking the rules."

"Choose wisely."

(Skylar was feeling anxious about either break the promise or execution.)

(Ask for Leon...)

(He was serious but smiled at his wife Skylar to continue their plan moving forward.)

(To be executed and Skylar to take the kids to a safer location away from harm.)

"Dear?"

"I've decided Quai."

"Oh, well about time-"

"To kill me and let my wife and children live."

"You're asking for a death wish!"

"But, it's been years since I have killed an angel."

"So be it, hehehe."

"Honey no!!!"

"I made my choice dear."

"Take the kids and get as far away as possible."

"See you in the afterlife."

"NO!!!"

(Skylar took her three daughters out of the hidden cottage before Quai nuked the hidden cottage obliterating Leon's entire existence.)

(Quai was furious that she couldn't get any answers to Aoki's whereabouts.)

(Kiyomi was sad but she held in her emotions, so she went to inside the kingdom to see her mother and sisters.)

When Crowley confronts Jimbriel in the bedroom above the bookshop, and tells him to jump out the window, you can see the "Give Me Coffee" part of the "Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death" sign, and then at the end of that scene, Crowley gives Jim a mug of hot chocolate. He gives him hot chocolate instead of death.

They're everything. He's just Jim.

It's a tale of a love from long again.

It's a sad song;

We keep singing even so”

Today Aziraphale got a very unwelcome visit from Death, who demanded to know why Adam's canine companion was suddenly and inexplicably exempt from expiry.

Despite sweating a bit, Aziraphale managed to convinced Death he had nothing to do with it. When Death left, Aziraphale smiled at what Adam had chosen to do with his birthday wish.

Human incarnate, indeed.

The Small Back Room — Hour of Glory (1949)

Good Omens 2 begins with the visit to The Small Back Room not because it was meant to serve as an exposition scene for Maggie and her record shop. It’s a substantial foreshadowing of the main plot and the relationship changes between Aziraphale and Crowley.

As all the other classics referenced throughout the show, this 1949 Powell and Pressburger production is easily available online — whenever you have 100 minutes to spare, I highly encourage you to watch it.

Our story begins with the arrival of Stuart, a British military captain, who makes his way through a labyrinth of offices towards a small building — the research section led by an eccentric, queer-coded, bow tie wearing professor Mair — to ask for help with a secret Nazi weapon.

That’s when the professor calls our hero, Sammy Rice — an engineer and bomb disposal expert in the service of Her Majesty’s government and, not accidentally, the most brooding, wounded man in Powell and Pressburger’s impressive canon of dysfunctional and alienated characters.

Due to a prosthetic foot keeping him from active service and confining to work in the titular back room instead, Rice is dramatically slipping into alcoholism. Haunted by self-loathing and disappointment with the internal politics, he can’t see the point of his research anymore.

Sammy is also conducting a clandestine affair with the secretary of his research unit, Susan. They live in the same building and meet regularly, but can’t openly enjoy their company or even dance due to his injury, which makes him even more bitter and pathologically determined to wear her angelic patience down.

Susan puts up with it until the minister is forced to resign. She knows that if non-scientists take over, their section will become useless, Rice even more difficult, and the war possibly lost. She urges him to take action and when he dramatically refuses to make a difference, she leaves him.

Seemingly at his lowest now, Rice becomes a sudden chance to redeem himself. Captain Stuart calls him about two unexploded booby traps found in Wales, but left to himself, he dies during a heroic attempt to dismantle one of the thermos-like devices before our engineer arrives at the scene.

In a nerve-jangling finale, Stuart’s notes help Rice dismantle the second device. He becomes a hero, gets an officer commission as head of the new scientific unit, and discovers that Susan not only came back in the meantime, but repaired everything he drunkenly destroyed in the apartment after their breakup.

The parallels seem straightforward enough for me to add that in this context the role of Maggie through most of S2 may particularly reflect Crowley’s stagnancy in both work and love life. And if you’re unsure why the demon identifies with the heroic roles and characters, you might want to read this post on the subject.

Now, The Small Back Room was distributed in the US under another title — Hour of Glory. Which happens to be a specific Bible term referring to Christ’s “hour”, the period supposed to consummate all of his work on Earth and reveal God’s ultimate plan of salvation: the Son’s death.

John 12:20-36 Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him. Jesus said, “This voice was for your benefit, not mine. Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

Christ’s hour began in the garden — this time the garden of Gethsemane — as he prayed passionately for the cup to be passed from him, similarly to Aziraphale declining Metatron’s offers on screen, both regarding the hot drink and his reinstatement as part of the Heavenly Host:

Luke 22:42 “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”

All throughout the Old Testament, we see God’s wrath being described as a cup poured out on sin and those guilty of it. By accepting it, Jesus took the toll of all the sins — from Eden up until the last one to be committed right before his Second Coming — on himself, for the sake of his beloved humanity.

The passion of Christ continued as Judas betrayed him with a kiss, his disciples abandoned him, and the high priest accused him of crimes he was not guilty of. Even Pilate, the prefect of Rome, pretended to uphold the law; and remember we already expect a S3 trial based on another Archers movie.

All in all, it’s an hour of great injustice and pain, but also glory of God. We’re led to believe that the Ineffable Plan will similarly triumph over the great one (or whatever Metatron tries to implement at the moment), as it did in S1. And its ending will be a good one, back in a garden.

If I had a nickel for everytime a Doctor Who finale written by RTD had a character be given powers through the sheer power of belief, I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
