- Brenda, you know I brought
you up here for a reason.

- What's that?

- Today's our 90-day anniversary!

You know, since we first met?

- That's really sweet that you remembered.

It's been a really nice time.

- Nice?

- You know what I mean.

- I care about you so much.

- I feel the same way, honey.

I feel like you gave me a new start.

Thank you.

It's been a really long time

since I've felt this cared about.

There's somethin'
I gotta share with you.

It's this group of friends,

this group of friends I belong to.

I'd like you to belong, too;
I think it'll make us closer.

Hey, so serious;
your friends are my friends.

- Why is everyone dressed in black?

- Part of the ceremony, you'll see.

- I see we have a newcomer
amongst us this evening.

Let us welcome her.

Very good, very good.

And now, let the ceremonies begin.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Yes, yes.

No.

No.

- Oh my God.

Calling units,

heard a man screaming and
saw some

Yes, yes.

Yes.

- Everybody freeze!

You, get away from her.

- I was just walking home

and they threw something over my head.

I didn't even see them coming.

Those people almost killed me.

Please, I just wanna go home.

- You're gonna go home
in just a minute, Lynn.

Hold on, tell me something,

you think you can identify
any of these people?

It was dark, I
couldn't see any of their faces.

- All right; okay.

- Oh my God, that's her!

She's one of them.

- Okay, gentlemen, you can go, thank you.

It's all right, just, relax.

- Look, I told you everything.

It was my boyfriend, he took me there

without telling me anything.

- Why do I find it so hard to believe

that he would just take you
there out of the blue, huh?

- I had no idea where he was taking me!

- Yeah, well, we checked
out your boyfriend.

- And?

- It's a phony name,
there's no such person.

- What are you telling
me, that he was lying

to me for the past three months?

- Well, right now, it seems
like you're the only one

that's doing any lying here, Brenda.

Right now, we have a woman here

that will ID you positive
from bein' there.

- Of course she will, I was there!

Detective, I don't know
who these people were,

but I'm not one of them!

- Well, maybe you are, maybe you aren't,

but if you're innocent, you're
gonna wanna help us, right?

- Yes.

- All right.
- What can I do?

- Tell us where your boyfriend lives.

Come on, what are you
protecting the guy for, huh?

I mean, if he's the sweet,
innocent fella you say he is,

then he's got nothin' to worry about.

- Okay.
- All right.

- It's the left one on the third floor.

I haven't seen him since
that night at the meeting.

I don't even know his real name.

- Do you think he died in the explosion?

- No, I hate to admit it, but I think

he planned the whole
thing from the day we met.

That son of a bitch is
out there someplace,

and they're holding me
for withholding evidence.

- Are you?

- Oh, great, you too now?

I have told them everything I know.

Haven't you been listening to me?

- Okay, okay, take it easy, all right?

I didn't mean anything by it.

What's your attorney say?

- They haven't appointed
me a public defender yet.

They don't exactly move like
greased lightning around here.

I know.

- Hey, I'm sorry I snapped at you.

- Somebody's here to see you.

Get movin'.

- Excuse me?

- Miss Carter?

Hi, I'm John Stockton,
criminal defense attorney.

Why don't you have a seat?

Come on, have a seat.

Can I call you Brenda?

Well, Brenda, I have been
goin' through your case

all morning here, and I
think you're innocent.

I'd like to help you.

Do you understand what I'm saying, Brenda?

I'm on your side.

- I'm sorry, I just find it real hard

to trust anybody right now.

- Well, that's understandable,
but between you and me,

you gotta trust somebody, right?

Now it says
in the police report here

that you didn't know any of the names

of the cult members, is that accurate?

- Yes, I mean, obviously Carl wasn't Carl,

and I never heard any of the
other ones called by name.

- Well, is it possible that
your boyfriend might've had

a phone book with their names in it?

I don't know, I mean, if he did,

it was probably lost in the fire.

- I see.

Brenda, I want you to look me in the eyes

and tell me you have no
idea what Carl was into.

- I didn't know, I swear
to God I didn't know.

I thought I knew Carl,
but I didn't know shit.

- I believe you.

Brenda, if I were to post bail for you,

you have a place to stay?

- No, everything that I
owned was lost in the fire.

- I understand.

Listen, I got an offer for you, all right?

You don't have to accept it,
and I'll still represent you.

I got a feeling you've had a lousy break,

and this isn't the first time, right?

So what do you say you
come and stay with me?

I've got a large house, I
live alone, I'm never there.

You can have your own room
with a lock on the door, huh?

Look, I used to be a probation
officer here, all right?

You ask around, they'll
vouch for me.

I mean, I've been doin' this all my life,

pickin' up stray cats and takin' 'em home.

No offense.

- None taken.

- Good.

So?

- Are you sure it wouldn't
be an inconvenience?

- Oh, hell no, no, not at all.

So I tell you what, I'll post your bail

and get you outta here
by tonight, how's that?

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- Good news.
- What happened?

- There's an attorney who's agreed

to take my case and post my bail.

- God, that's great.

- Yeah, maybe things
are starting to look up.

- Maybe.

- Get away from me.

Is that so?

- I'm gonna scream.

No, you won't!

You have no power.
- Stop!

You have no power here!

No power here.

Stop!

No!

No!

No!

No!

Stop!

No!

Stop!

No!

No!

No!

No!

- That's just a little something
for you to remember me by

when you're on the outside.

- Oh my God, what happened to you?

He raped me.

- Oh my God, I'm sorry.

Do you want me to get the warden?

- No, I just wanna get
dressed and I wanna go home.

- Are you sure you're okay?

- I'm fine.

- What is in your hand, what is this?

I pulled it off him in
the struggle.

It looks like a medallion
Carl used to carry.

I think it's from the cult.

- Oh my gosh, then this
guard is part of 'em?

- I don't know, but if he is,
we can't let him know we know.

- We?

- Rachael, you have to
stick with me on this one.

I need you, you're on the inside,

and I need you to watch
him for me.

- I hate that asshole.

Okay, I'll try, okay?

I'll do what I can.

Okay.

- You are accused with
betrayal of your peers.

How do you plead?

- I have done nothing wrong.

- My dear, you do not realize
the petulance of your crime.

It bears a heavy weight.

- But I am not guilty.

- Not guilty, not guilty?

In your mind's eye, you are not guilty,

yet in eternity's eye, you are!

And now, you pay.

How's it goin', kiddo?

- Pretty good.

- Well, you keep at it, who
knows, you might be able

to come up with something
we can use for your defense.

And don't stop until you've written down

every single detail you can remember.

- I'll do my best.

- Good, well, I'm outta
here, I gotta go to work.

I'll see you later this evening.

- Mr. Stockton?

- Yeah?

- I just wanted to tell you

how much I appreciate everything.

- Well, you're welcome;
you call me John, Brenda.

- Okay, John.

- All right, Brenda.

So long, sweetie.

- The first time I noticed
something unusual about Carl

was the time we were in bed together.

I didn't think much of it then.

I thought he was just a little odd.

Are you glad I moved in with you?

- It'll take some getting used to.

- You look like your
mind is someplace else.

- Mm, I was just thinking.

- Oh yeah?

About what?

- If I asked you to do somethin',

anything I asked you, would you do it?

Well, that depends.

- Would you, uh, would
you drip candle wax on me?

- Are you serious?

Won't it hurt?

- No, it's really pleasurable.

- I don't know.

- Go on, come on, do it.

- Did you forget something?

Carl!

What are you doing here?

- That's not important.

I heard you were thinkin'
about writing about me.

I don't think that's a very good idea.

- What are you talking about?

Why did you leave me, didn't
I mean anything to you?

- If I thought you would have accepted us,

I would've brought you with me.

- Accepted you?

What kind of a relationship do
you think we would have had?

What did you wanna do,
get married on Halloween?

- I didn't think you'd understand.

I brought you there as
a test, and you failed.

- And what about your apartment?

I went by there the other night.

- I didn't want any loose ends.

- What do you want from me?

- Be careful.

What you say,

what you write,

it could hurt a lot of people.

- I'll do what I have
to, to protect myself.

- You do what you have
to, one of those people

that might get hurt may be you.

I'll keep in touch.

Knock 'em dead!

Hi there.

- You want something?

- Yeah, I noticed a
medallion you were wearing,

and I was wonderin' where you got it.

- I just lost it today,
what do you know about it?

- Nothing, I was just admiring it earlier

and thought you could
tell me where you got it.

- What are you getting at?

- Well, I was watching the news

and I saw those people
obsessed with cults...

- You watch too much television.

I just liked the way it looked.

- So where'd you get it?

- It was given to me.

- So you don't think I could
get one just like it then?

- You ask too many damn questions!

Sorry.

I'm not tryin' to cause any problems.

- Wait a minute.

Are you sure you didn't
see what happened to it?

- I'm positive; if I see
it, I'll let you know.

- I called you right after he left.

I don't know how he found me.

- You know what I can't
figure out, Brenda?

Is why you didn't try to stall this guy.

You know, we might've gotten
here in time to nail him.

- Well, and what was I
supposed to do with him

while I was calling you?

- You know, I just hope you're
tellin' me the truth, Brenda.

'Cause right now, I can't even prove

that Carl lived in that
apartment that got blown up.

I can see right now

that you're not gonna be
any help to me at all.

- Look, we've been chasin'
this group for a long time,

and we're tired of chasin' 'em.

Right now, you're our only tie to them.

- Excuse me, what's goin' on here?

- I called them; Carl came
by and he threatened me.

- Carl was here?

- I don't know how he found me.

- All right, all right.

John Stockton, Miss Carter's
attorney, can I help you?

- Detective McKenzie.

No, I have no more questions for now.

- Well, thank you very
much for stopping by.

I can take care of it from here.

- Be talkin' to you, Brenda.
- Afternoon.

- You too.

- What the hell's the
matter with you, huh?

Now you look at me!

I said, what the hell
is the matter with you?

You call them before you call me?

- What was I supposed to do?

I didn't know he was coming by.

Well, you listen,

you do me a favor next time,
anything like this happens,

you call me first, do you understand?

- Fine!
- You understand?

- Yes.
- Good.

- Why are you getting
so bent out of shape?

- Because I care about you, Brenda.

Because I want you to be okay, all right?

I mean, you above all should know

you can't rely on the
goddamn police department.

- I'm sorry.

- All right, all right.

- We must guard our
privacy with more caution.

No longer do we admit outsiders
or strangers into our midst

until we are certain they have accepted

the power of the dark side.

And if one of these enemies
should threaten our existence,

we shall deal with them accordingly.

- I terrorized her right before

she left the prison, like you asked.

That should keep her
vulnerable for a while.

- And that was very good work.

- What about the other girl?

The one who I think took my pentagram.

Do you think she still has it?

- No, she just asked too
many questions about it.

I think she already
knows too much already.

- Well, then we shall
grant her her freedom.

For it's easier to control her
once she is on the outside.

- And what about Brenda?

And what
do you suggest, Brother?

- I prefer that we silence her altogether.

This is a
matter that shall be decided

by the entire group.

- I choose to kill her.

- And if you act upon your own,

you shall be banished, banished!

For eternity from this coven.

Do you understand, Brother?

- Yes.

Good, excellent.

Now, my dear friends and brothers,

how do you prefer to punish
her, in the usual way?

Excellent.

Then we shall use our power

and not our hands.

- Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't
think you'd be awake.

- I couldn't sleep.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm okay now.

I had these really bad
pains in my stomach,

and then I had this
horrible, horrible nightmare.

This girl was being mutilated
by the coven, and then

just as they were about to
cut her head off, I woke up.

- Jesus, is that the first
time you had a dream like that?

- Yeah, but it seemed so real,
I mean, it seemed as though

I were really there watching it.

- Well, listen, you had a rough go of it,

but you're all right now.

Why don't you go back to bed and try

and get some sleep, all right?

- Okay.

- Goodnight.

- What are you doing?

- Oh, uh, it's just uh, some game

I picked up in Europe
a couple of years ago.

It's very intriguing, but I've
never been able to master it.

Do you wanna see how this works?

- Mm-hmm, sure.

- Okay, so what you do
is you take the trinket

out of her ear,

and you put it under the shell,

give it a spin, and then
you try and locate it.

- This one.

I've seen this game before,
only the board was different.

- Well, its origins date
back thousands of years,

but, supposedly, royalty would
have the townspeople play it,

and then if they lost,
they'd cut a finger off.

- Ew, they cut off their finger?

- Cut off a finger.

- Why would anyone wanna play?

- Well, it wasn't like
they were asked to play.

They were ordered to.

I don't think I wanna play.

- No?
- No.

- You afraid I'm gonna
cut your finger off?

Here, we'll just do it for fun, all right?

You ready?

And guess which one?

This one.

Wrong.

- There's something really
funny about this game.

- Well, rumor has it that
there was a spell cast

on this game making it impossible
to win, which I believe,

because I've been racking
my brain for hours

and I always make the wrong choice.

- Let me try it one more time.

- Well, wait a second, you're
down to eight fingers here.

You gotta cool off for a minute.

- Listen, um, there's something

that I've been meaning to ask you.

- What's that?

- Why is it that my case
is so important to you?

I guess you have the right to know.

Not too long ago,

I lost somebody very close
to me to a satanic cult.

- I'm sorry.

- Yeah.

Wow.

Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- You wanted to see me?

- Yes, I did actually.

- Well, what do you want?

- You're bein' released today.

- So you mean I could just
walk right outta here then?

- That's right.

Just remember one thing
when you're on the outside.

- What's that?

- It's a big, bad world out there.

People get hurt.

Hi.

- Hi.

- Listen, I hope you're not upset with me

for yellin' at you in front
of the police, all right?

- Don't worry about it.

- Well, I can't expect you
to get any writing done

if you're gonna be mad at me.

I'm fine.

- Yeah?

- Honest.
- Honest?

- So, how you doin' here?

I don't know, oh,
it's coming along, I'm just,

I'm really upset about this
dream I had last night.

- Can I take a look here?

- Sure, you're gonna
see it sooner or later.

That's good.

Very good, very good.
- Thanks.

- All right.

- Hello.

- Hi, is this Brenda Carter?

- Who is this?

- Hi, my name is Joan Lake,
I have a local talk show

on at three in the afternoon,
perhaps you've seen it?

- Yeah, yeah, sure I have,
this is, I'm Brenda Carter.

- Good, I'm glad I got through to you.

The reason why I'm calling
is I read about you

in the police reports and
I'd be very interested

in having you on as my guest;
would you be interested?

- Well, when were you
thinking of doing this?

- How does tomorrow look for you?

- Yeah, I think people need to know this.

I'd be happy to do your show.

- Great, that's wonderful;
how does 1:30 sound?

Wonderful, well, why don't
you be at the studio?

The address is 555 Southwestern Avenue.

All right, see you then, bye.

Yes.

- Who is it?

- Open the door, it's me, Rachael.

Hurry up, close the door.

- What's wrong, what are you doing here?

- They just released me.

I don't know why, but I
didn't ask a lot of questions.

The guard threatened
me before he let me go.

- He threatened you?

With what?

- Just saying that it's
gonna be really dangerous

on the outside.

You should've
seen the look in his eyes

when he said it.

Brenda, I am really scared.

I made sure no one followed me here.

Can I stay here for a couple days?

I don't have any place to go.

- Yeah, sure you can, I
mean, it's not my place,

I have to ask John, but
I'm sure it'll be okay.

- Please, ask him.

- I will as soon as he gets home.

I'll be right back.

Yes, hello.

- Brenda, Detective McKenzie.

I'm out at the city overlook,
I need your help, kid.

There's somethin' I have to show you.

How soon can you get out here?

- I'll be there as soon as I can.

Good.

- I've gotta go out for a few minutes.

Don't worry...
- What?

Where are you going?

- I'll be right back, okay?

Don't worry.

- All right.

- Brenda, thanks for comin'.

Listen, I have to show
you somethin', all right?

It's not very pleasant,

so I want you to brace yourself, okay?

Come on.

Men.

It's all right.

Cover it up.

Deep breaths, kid, deep breaths.

On Wilshire
Boulevard, a 3109 Wilshire.

1181 in Hollywood, all
available units required.

- It's okay, it's all over now.

- Why did you want me to come
up here and look at this?

- There's something very strange

about this particular murder,
Brenda, aside from the fact

that the head was taken off the victim.

There was a pentagram
carved into their chest.

25 Holden Coast Road.

- Have they identified who it is?

Who it was?

- No, probably just some
poor transient, that's all.

Brenda,

what can you tell me?

Anything at all?

- I've told you everything I know.

A 111

- Look at me.

I need your help.

- I had this dream last night

that this girl was being sacrificed

and they cut her head off.

- More than a coincidence, Brenda,

that's a lot more than a coincidence.

Look, I know you're not gonna like this.

I need you to come down to
headquarters with me, all right?

- I want John here if I'm
going to say anything else.

- John?

All right, he's on his way.

- I'm sorry I'm late, you all right?

- He's been askin' me
questions all day long.

All I wanna do is go home.

- Now you listen to me, Detective,

you got no right to do this,
you're harassin' my client.

This is a friendly
witness, do you understand?

- All right, lighten up, Counselor.

- Lighten up?

You want me to lighten up?

Let me tell you, it's not in my nature.

All right,
you're free to go, Brenda.

- Good, let's go.

- Thank you.
- But listen,

if you think of anything
else, will you call me?

There is one more
thing that happened today.

I don't know if it's important.

- What?

- I agreed to go on The Joan Lake Show.

I mean, if that's okay with you,

to talk about it on the air.

- Well, it's okay with me.

I'm not too sure what the
cult's gonna feel about it.

- What do you mean?

- You go on a national TV show,

you make yourself a pretty big target.

Brenda,

just be careful, okay?

- What are you doin'?

Huh, what are you doin',
you tryin' to be a hero?

You goin' on some goddamn crusade?

- Carl already knows where I am.

What's the difference if
I go on the show or not?

- You're askin' for trouble here, okay?

I'm totally against this, you understand?

- People need to be warned.

- People need to be warned, huh?

You wanna be on TV, hmm?

You wanna be on TV, then go
get your own goddamn sitcom!

Oh, Christ.

- Hi, how did it go?

What was so important?

- It was, it was really unpleasant.

This girl had been mutilated,

and they found her body
at the city overlook.

- God.

I was reading your story.

I hope you don't mind.

- No, it's fine.

There's something in here

that gives me the creeps.

The part about this meeting you went to,

well, I had this nightmare last night

where this girl was being sacrificed.

It was exactly the same as this.

- You dreamt this?

- Yes.

They carved something in her chest,

and then they cut her head off.

- This is really creepy.

I had the same dream, and
then they find this girl,

and her head is cut off.

- What is going on here?

How can we have the same dream?

- John's here, I'll see
if it's okay if you stay.

- Hi.
- Hi.

How was your day?
- It was fine, just fine.

Who's that?

- That's my friend Rachael,
I was wondering if maybe

she could stay here for a couple of days.

- What, she doesn't
have a place of her own?

- No, I wouldn't ask if it
wasn't really important,

but she needs me.
- All right, great.

Well, you do what you want, okay?

- Thanks.

- He said it was fine.
- That's a relief.

Why are you keeping this?

- I'm not sure, I don't know, I guess

it's some sort of bizarre fascination.

I feel like as long as
I'm holding onto it,

I have a sense of power over this guard.

Yeah, well, you can
have it back.

It gives me the creeps.

Yes, sir,
you wanted to talk to me.

- Yeah, I certainly do.

I understand that you
released Rachael Somers.

What would make you do
a dumb thing like that?

- I, uh, thought that she
was ready to be released.

I didn't see anything wrong, I, uh...

- Let me tell you somethin',
you're lucky you have tenure

here, otherwise I would
have busted your ass.

As it stands right now,
you're gonna be responsible

for everything she decides to do outside.

You better hope she
doesn't get into trouble.

- Yes, sir, I'm sorry, I'm sure she won't.

- Yeah, all right, you can go.

- Uh, by the way, what's been happening

with that girl Brenda Carter,
the one we released last week?

- She's doin' all right,
I just saw her today.

She's gonna be on The
Joan Lake Show tomorrow.

The Joan Lake Show?

- Yeah.

- No kidding?

Gun in the Schwarzman home.

Excuse us, gentlemen.

Thank you.

I need Car 23, Car
six, five one in the hole.

- Why did you want me to come here?

- I just wanted to see if it
reminded you of somethin'.

Come on.

- It's cold in here.

- So, bring back any memories?

- No.

Can we go now?
- Just a minute.

Why don't you tell me where everybody was?

- Carl and I were standing over there,

and the leader of the cult

was right there.

- Right here, huh?

- Yeah.

Are you all right?

Look at me; you all right?

- Yeah.

I just wanna go now, I
wanna go to my interview.

- You know, it's not too late

to change your mind about doin' the show.

- I know, but I really
wanna go through with it.

- All right, well, I'll tell you what,

you know where to reach
me, when you're finished,

you give me a call, I'll pick you up.

- Okay, bye.

- Bye-bye.

- Hi, you must be Brenda, I'm Joan.

- Hi.

- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.

- You're not nervous, are you?

- A little bit.
- Oh, have a seat.

Here are the list of
questions I'll be asking you.

You can look them over before we go on.

Now don't you worry about
a thing, you'll do fine.

See you on the set.

- Excuse me, hi, can I get
you some coffee or anything?

- Yeah, coffee, black, please.

- Here we go.
- Ah, thank you.

- Sure.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Sean,
I work on the show.

- Hi, I'm Brenda.

- Nice to meet you.

- I'm gonna be interviewed today.

- Oh, I know, I read the schedule.

- Who is that woman?

- Oh, she's another one of
the guests today, on the show.

She's a priestess of black magic.

- It is not polite to stare.

- I'm sorry, I didn't realize...

- There are many things you
do not realize about yourself.

- What do you mean?

- I know who you are, you
do not need to tell me.

You are a betrayer, you are
one who cannot be trusted.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- The reason you are here today,

to share your naive views with the world.

But you are not a threat to me,
I am more powerful than you.

- Why are you saying these things to me?

I don't even know you.

- It is people like you who hurt us,

you do not understand the
powers of the dark side.

- She's crazy.
- She's frightening.

- What are you doin'?

- I wanted to see what she was reading.

It's blank.

- That's odd.

Ooh,

I gotta get back to the set.

I'll talk to you after the show, okay?

- We're ready to go on the air.

Hi, and welcome to our show.

Today's guests are Brenda Carter,

a woman who recently
discovered she was dating a man

who belonged to a satanic
cult, and Priestess Tura,

a self-proclaimed witch
who practices black magic.

- I'd like to clarify that
I'm a priestess, not a witch.

- Yes, thank you; now, Brenda,
could you explain to us

how you got involved with
this man you were seeing?

- Well, when I first got
involved with him, I had no idea

that there was anything unusual about him.

That was the really scary part,
he was kind, he was gentle,

and I fell in love with him.

And then my whole world was shattered.

One night, he took me to
the cult's meeting hall.

I had no idea what to expect.

I just want everyone to know that...

- Yes, now, Brenda, could you
tell us what you saw there?

- There was this group of
people, and they were chanting,

and this girl was struggling, and I think

that they were about to sacrifice her.

- Most likely it was a symbolic sacrifice,

where no blood is drawn.

- I don't know what it was, I
know that the police came in

and stopped it before
anything else happened.

- Now, Priestess, you say

that these sacrifices are symbolic.

On today's news, a body
was found decapitated

with a pentagram carved across its chest.

I think that this is more than symbolic.

- You shouldn't jump to conclusions.

There is no proof who is responsible.

It could've been a group
of teenagers experimenting

with something they learned
from a heavy metal album.

- Either way, this does not
sound like a normal murder.

The police have no leads so far.

- They took me up to see
the body this morning.

- Well, I wasn't aware of this.

Do they think that
there is a link somehow?

- The really frightening part is

I had this vision last night

where this girl was being murdered,

and it was very much in the same way

as the body that they found.

- What do you mean by a vision?

- Well, it was like a
dream, but it was different.

It was kind of like a spell or something.

- Ooh, well, this sounds like
your territory, Priestess.

- You shouldn't make light of it.

Spells are very difficult to break

once they have been cast on you.

It undermines everything that
you do, almost like a toxin

that has been set free within your body.

- What do you mean that
they're difficult to break?

How do you get rid of one
if one's been cast on you?

- Ooh, this sounds serious.

- Yeah, I need to know.

- I make a living in the
field of black magic.

People come to me for love
potions, how to place hexes,

incenses, brews, herbs, et cetera,

but you must believe in the
power for them to work for you.

I can sense that you do not.

- Well, how do I get rid of a hex

if one has been placed on me?

- It is not of my doing to help you.

You are an enemy of the power.

You will have to seek help elsewhere.

- And that's the first part of our show.

Thank you, Brenda, for
sharing her experiences,

and Tura, who you can
find in the yellow pages

if you ever need her assistance.

We'll be right back with an
expert on what you can find

when you play records backwards.

- Are you okay?

You don't look too good,
can I get you something?

- No, I'm fine.

That woman is so strange.

I know she can help
me, but she just won't.

- Well, she's leaving now,
you wanna talk to her?

- No, no, I'm fine, it
wouldn't do any good anyway.

Listen, do you know if
there's a phone someplace?

I need to arrange for a ride home.

- Oh, well, heck, I could take you.

I'm off the rest of the day.

- Are you sure?

I do have someone who can come pick me up.

It's fine, it'd be my pleasure.

- Okay, thanks.
- Great.

- I really appreciate this.

- Ah, don't worry about it.

Right over here.
- Okay.

This part of town gives me the creeps.

Why do you say that?

- The meeting hall that Carl
belonged to is right up there.

- This car behind me is
following awfully close.

- It's that son of a bitch from prison.

- It's who?

- Never mind, just turn up here.

Sean!

He's right behind us!

- I'm tryin'.

What are you doing?

- Carl told me about this.

He said it wards off bad
things that happen to you.

- Are you kidding me or what?

- Look, do you have any better ideas?

Tura said that you have to believe in it

in order for it to work for you.

- What happened to him all of the sudden?

Did you do this?

With that?

- I don't know, I just held
onto it and I concentrated.

It was like it read my thoughts.

- Where'd you get that?

- It was his.

This is getting weird.

You be careful with that.

Hi, you looked
really good on television.

Too bad that witch kept interrupting you.

Thanks.

Who's this?

This is Sean, he
works at the television station.

He gave me a ride home.

- Something wrong?

Well, let's just
say that we won't have to worry

about the prison guard anymore.

What do you mean?

He was waiting
for me outside of the studio.

He tried to run us off the road,

but he lost control of his car.

So you mean he's dead?

Good.

Rachael, I
held onto the pentagram,

I believed, I made it happen.

You really believe
that's what caused it?

He probably would've shot us

if I hadn't have used it.

What are you doing?

I need all
the protection I can get.

It worked for you, it'll
work for me, right?

You can hold onto
it for now, I need some water.

Do you guys want anything?

Oh, no, thanks.

So what exactly did you guys do

to make this thing work?

Why are you
suddenly so obsessed with this?

Listen, I had that
nightmare that came true.

They're after me, I can sense it.

I just wanna know what I should do.

I had the same
idea, I asked the priestess,

but she didn't want
anything to do with me.

Oh, that's
right, she's the expert.

Then maybe she can help me.

You're getting
a little carried away

with this, Rachael, I'm the
one who should be worried.

I know, but I
need to look out for myself.

What was her name again?

Priestess Tura.

Oh, that's right, and they said

she was in the phone book too.

Oh, there it is, it's
in a bad area of town.

Yeah, well,
good luck getting there.

What about
you, would you take me?

Uh, yeah, I guess so, sure.

Great, I'm
gonna make an appointment.

That's the place.

Wish me luck.

Welcome, I've been expecting you.

Hi, sorry if I'm a little early.

No need to apologize, come in.

Can I get you something,
an herbal tea perhaps?

- Uh, no thanks, I'm not that thirsty.

- Herbal tea is not for thirst.

It is part of a ritual.

Actually, it's not that bad, what's in it?

- Coriander, mugwort,
belladonna, and hemlock.

- What's that?

Keeps me regular;
now what can I do for you?

You sounded like it was
urgent over the phone.

- It is.

- How about a tarot card reading?

It's my specialty; let's see,

you look like you'd be
from the family of cups,

no, maybe wands.

What are you talking about?

Your coloring, it decides
what group you belong to.

I wasn't interested in
having my fortune told.

- How about a love potion?

Make the man of your dreams
fall madly in love with you.

- Mm, maybe later.

Is something burning?

- No, it is merely incense.

Sandalwood, dragon's blood, and pine.

- Oh, I thought you had a cake in the oven.

- Are you making fun of my beliefs?

No, I'm not, I'm sorry.

I'm deadly serious, I
really need your help.

- Then what do you want?

- I need a hex broken.

- So you think someone
has cast a spell on you?

- I'm not certain, but I think so.

I've been having these haunted visions,

and one of 'em came true.

- You should be proud,
perhaps you're a clairvoyant.

- I don't care about
that, I just want it to stop.

- It's all right, I understand.

So, you are a believer?

- A what?

- A believer in the dark powers.

Wearing this was a wise move.

- Yeah, but this isn't enough.

I need more protection, what can I do?

- Yes, you've come to the right place.

A gun or a guard dog will
not stop the dark powers.

- Exactly.

- Follow me.

Did you bring any money with you?

- Money?

- Yes, protection
doesn't come for free.

- This is all I have.

- That's plenty, now be seated.

Now concentrate.

How do you think this
spell was placed on you?

I don't know.

- We must summon the
powers from the other side,

and they will help you with what you need.

- Summon the powers,

isn't that supposed to be dangerous?

- Not if done properly;
they will assist you.

What are you doing?

Preparing for their arrival.

Whose arrival?

If you are here, make yourself known.

What is that?

Silence, you'll frighten it away.

Speak, where do you come from?

Why have you
summoned me from beyond?

Oh my God.

We need your
assistance in a matter.

What is your wish?

We need to free this girl

of a demon that haunts her in her sleep.

- I also want protection
against the dark powers.

I will help
you, bring me Achillea,

dill, elder wood, and flaxseed.

I have them.

Wrap them together
in cloth, bind them tightly.

It will bring you
restful nights and sleep.

Is there anything else?

Yes, I present
you with a coffin nail

from the depths of Earth.

Use it when you fear the
power of the other side.

They cannot take your mind,

but they will come after
your body and soul.

Is that everything?

Yes, use them wisely.

It will only work for those
who believe in the power.

And remember, beware of the
man who bears ill testimony.

Wait, what does that mean?

Here is what you will
need, use them carefully

and they will stop whatever
has been troubling you.

- That's all there is to it?

- Do not take these things lightly.

They have powers not known to our world.

Thanks, you've been a big help.

- Well, what happened?

You had to have been there.

- They cannot take your mind,

but they will come after
your body and soul?

- That's right, that's
exactly what she said.

And to beware of the man
who bears ill testimony.

- Rachael, I think you're
taking this whole thing

a little bit too seriously.

- Fine, you seem to have forgotten

what happened to you earlier today.

Well, I believe in these things,

and that means they're gonna work for me!

- I haven't forgotten.

I just don't know about
this stuff, I'm skeptical,

especially when it comes to fortune tellers

with neon signs in their window.

I don't know, I don't know
what the hell to think anymore.

I wish you well.

I know, I'm
sorry I snapped at you, okay?

- It's all right.

- So where should I sleep tonight?

- The sofa's fine.

I guess I shouldn't have
been so hard on her.

- Oh, I wouldn't worry
about it, she'll be okay.

You should've seen the look on her face

when she came out of that house.

- I can imagine.

I didn't get a chance to thank you

for givin' me a ride home today.

- Oh, I'm sure you're just glad

to get home in one piece.
- Thanks to you.

- What do you mean?

- Well, that was some
pretty sharp driving there.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

- Creatures of power,
your anger has felt its start.

Let her feel my anger

burning in her heart!

Here's thinking of you.

You okay?

Brenda?

Brenda?

What's wrong?

I don't know,
there's something...

I'm scared, Sean.

- I know.

- I'm sorry.

- Hey, there's
nothing to be sorry about.

I'm worried about you.

- So am I.

- Hey, it's gonna be all
right, you're gonna be okay.

Maybe you should get some sleep.

- Okay.

Your help really means a lot to me.

Will you call me?

- Sure.

- Thanks.

Morning.

- God, you look like hell.

- Thanks a lot.

- Couldn't you sleep last night?

- Hey, I slept some, it's being awake

that makes me like this.

- Those came for you this morning.

- Here's thinking of you.

You know, I am really sick of this shit.

I don't need this anymore, I've had...

What's wrong, what's wrong?

- John, hey are still
harassing me, I have had it!

All right, all right,
listen to me, listen to me.

Look, I know it's gonna be hard.

Listen to me, you gotta hang in there

and you gotta stay focused, all right?

Now how's your writing going?

Come on, how's it goin'?
- I'll get to it today!

All right.

Look, your parole officer contacted me.

- And?

- And he wants
to see you this morning.

- Are you going with me?

- No, he didn't sound
like he wanted me to join you.

Look, you can handle this
on your own, all right?

- Okay, wish me luck.

- Good luck, I'll see
both of you later, all right?

- Bye.

Bye.

- This is just what I need.

- Well, we found one of

your old prison guards
this mornin', Brenda.

He was sittin' in his car

at the bottom of a river, upside down.

I don't suppose you know
anything about that, do you?

- Should I?

- Quit screwin' with me, Brenda,

I'm not in the mood for this shit anymore!

- He was waiting for
me when I left the studio.

He tried to run me off the road,

but he lost control and he crashed.

- Well, considering the way
that guy's been actin' lately...

I guess I believe you.

Brenda, you have got to keep
me informed, do you understand?

- I was afraid to.

I didn't know how it was gonna look.

Yeah, I understand.

Listen, we also found some other

very strange paraphernalia
in the car with the guy.

- Like what?

- The usual, a dagger, a human skull,

a crucible, this guy was
more heavily into satanism

than your old boyfriend was.

- I guess I really know
how to pick 'em, huh?

- Also, we found some paperwork.

If we're lucky, we might be able to link it

to some of the members in the group.

Right now, the police lab's goin' over it.

It's pretty waterlogged.

Who knows, we might just get
you off the hook yet, kid.

- That would be nice.

- Brenda...

keep in touch with me, okay?

- Okay.

- You were supposed to be Brenda.

Who are you?

You can't even imagine the
mistake you made in writing this.

- Oh, hi, is Brenda here?

- I was lookin' for
her myself, who are you?

So, where do you know Brenda from?

- Oh, we met over at the TV studio.

Where do you know her from?

- Oh, we're old friends.

Was she supposed to meet you here?

- Uh, no, no, I just, I
assumed she'd be here,

but I can come back later.

But if you could leave...

Who was that?

- That's my ex-boyfriend.

Are you okay?

- Yeah.

What have I done?

- You saved my life.

Why are you here?

- I came to see you.

- I'm gonna call the police.

Oh God.

It's over.

- That bastard was probably waiting

in the house the whole time.

Look, I just, I just need a few minutes

to get myself together, okay?

- I'll call the police.

- No, wait, I want, I want,

I think I should call John first, I...

- Why?

- Look, this is just gonna be

too much for the police.

I mean, what if they don't believe us?

- That's ridiculous, I
mean, come on, we have...

- You killed Carl!

Why should they believe you?

- Jesus, you're makin' this so complicated.

- This is a double
murder, this is complicated!

John got me out of
jail, I wanna call John!

- Fine, do what you want!

- Where are you going?

- I gotta go home, okay?

I need some time, I...

I need to be alone.

Tell the police that that's where I'll be,

and I'm ready to make a statement.

I gotta go.

- Don't go, Sean!

- Yeah?

Listen, something
terrible has happened.

I haven't called the police
yet because you told me

you wanted me to talk to you first.

I came home and Rachael was murdered.

Carl did it, and now he's dead too.

I'm home by myself and I just wanna know

if I can call the police now.

No, no, listen,
no, you just stay calm,

you did the right thing, I'll
call the police, all right?

I'll be right there, and, Brenda,

you don't talk to anybody, you understand?

- Okay, please hurry.

- You got it.

All right, it's all right,
it's all right, I'm here now.

He's never gonna bother you again.

- Are you sure you called the police?

Why aren't they here yet?

- Just take it easy, yeah?

Take it easy.

- All right, that's the page

with the list of the members.

Look who's at the top.

I'll be a son of a bitch.

Brenda?

Drink some of this, it'll calm you down.

- I don't want any.
- Drink it.

It's good for you.

That's right.

All gone, all gone, all gone.

Good girl, hmm?

- Aren't you gonna get that?

- It'll wait.

You drink some more.

- Come on, come on, answer, dammit.

That's right, mm.

Goodbye.

Better?

Shit!

Did you call the meat wagon?

It's on its way.

Shit.

Brenda?

Whoa, hold it,
hold it, hold it, who are you?

I'm a friend of Brenda's,

the girl that's staying in the house.

Come on in,
come on in, come on in.

Let him come.

Yeah, um, do
you know where she is?

She's the one who called you.

No, no, she never called us.

Why don't you tell me where she is?

Well, well, what do
you mean she didn't call you?

I was here a little bit
earlier and she said

she was gonna call the police
after she talked to John,

the guy who owns this place.

Yeah, well,
neither of 'em are here.

Came here tryin' to ask
some questions of Stockton.

We think he knows more about
this cult than he's lettin' on.

We found this, good
chance he's the leader.

There's another one in the shower.

- Oh, Jesus.
- And she's dead.

All right, all
right, I'll be right there.

Listen, you were here earlier today?

Yeah.

Well, I'm gonna
have some questions for you,

so just sit tight, all right?

You need to send
a car to the meeting hall.

I mean, that's where they must be by now!

Okay, hey, relax, okay?

One thing at a time, just stay put.

Watch him.

Oh my God, no.

Silence!

You have caused me enough trouble already.

But why?

Why did you take me to your home?

What did you want from me?

Why?

Because I needed to know
what you knew about us,

and after I read your notes, I decided

that you knew too much.

- But I've only been here once.

I really don't know anything.

- I don't know anything,
I don't know anything,

You can't be trusted.

- But Carl's dead, and
there won't be any trial,

and I promise I won't say anything.

- The decision, brethren, is up to us.

But remember, she is responsible

for the death of two of our members.

And so I say unto you, unto all of you,

all those in favor of
silencing her forever,

raise your hand.

It's unanimous, prepare to die.

Oh, great powers that be,

here is one that is ready

to cross over into your world!

No.

- Yes.

No.

Leave her alone!

- And who are you, little man?

And what a fool, for to come here alone.

I'm not entirely alone.

I've come protected with your
power, you son of a bitch.

That'll be little use here.

- I've seen it work.

- Then show me now, little man.

You see, in order for the power
to work, you must believe,

or else it's just a hunk
of junk around your neck.

And you don't believe, do
you, little man, do you?

You see,

when you have no belief in your heart,

well, then you have no protection, do you?

- He may not believe, but I do.

Get me down, Sean, quick.

You'll never
get out of here alive!

- Look, not even one of
them is trying to get out.

- You risked your life for me, Sean.

- I didn't know you believed in the power.

- I didn't.

What I believed in was you.
