No, it's okay.

Connect me to her.

- Richard?

Richard, l've got to see you rlght away.

- Angela, you're driving me crazy.

Now 24 hours ago you said
you could never see me again.

Now what's going on?

- l can't talk now.

But believe me, Richard.

l wouldn't call you if
I knew anyone else to turn to.

- All rlght, when do you wanna meet me?

- As soon as you can.

- l'll be off in aboutt half an hour.

- l'm at the Maple Street warehouse.

- MapleStreet?

That's your husband's address, isn'tit?

- Richard please, l can't explain now.

Just get here as soon as you can.

Okay Angela, l'll be there.

- Angela!

Angela!

- Richard!

Help me please!

Richard!

Richard, help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Richard!

- Angela!

Angela!

- Richard!

Richard!

Richard!

Richard, help me!

- Angela?

Angela, where are you?

- Richard please, save my baby!

Please!

Please!

Save my baby!

l only have one more bullet.

- Richard,

please!

- No!

- Leave,

you fool

- Richard.

Sweetheart.

- What?

- Time to get up.

- l know.

- Is anything the matter?

No, I just don't understand

how you can be so cheerful
this early in the morning.

It's really disgusting.

- Rick,

you're a little rough today.

- I got carried away, I'm sorry.

What made you take
something like this up anyway?

I don't know, I just got an
urge a couple of years ago.

- You just got an urge?

I know it sounds ridiculous,
but it's the truth.

- You know, there aren't many instructors

who would let you freestyle
with live steel like this.

- Yes, I know.

And that's why I'm mad about you.

- And what about Stacey?

- Well I'm mad about her too.

You see, Stacey and I have always been

better friends than lovers.

Well even if you don't buy that,

that's no reason to borrow
a little raucous illicit sex

between instructor and pupil.

How 'bout lunch?

- You're too much.

Is Eddie still workin' out with you?

Yeah and you know, he's
getting pretty good too.

- l'm late.

I'll see you next Thursday.

- Must be my breath.

Look Milligan, you
might consider yourself

the modern-day Sherlock Holmes.

That's terrific, all right?

But I don't mind tellin'ya:

With this new slasher case,

my men don't know what
the fuck is goin' on.

Come in!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

C'mon sit down, kid.

I'll be right with you.

Look Milligan, if you don't
like the job my men are doin',

why don't you bring somebody else in?

Like who?

Like Richard Flynn, that'swho.

Look, I know he is no longer on the force.

What doest hat have to do with anything?

I thought the idea here
was to catch that bastard

and maybe save afewlives.

Look.

Look Milligan,

who cares whether he's a
brother officer or not?

Look, listen I've got somebody
in my office here, all right?

And I don't wanna start
usin' four-letter words

in front of non-brotherr officers.

See ya, Milligan.

- Look, if I came at a bad time, I can...

- No, think nothing of it, all right?

Milligan is an asshole.

If I call him back in another four hours,

he's still gonna be an asshole.

He can wait.

What's on your mind?

Well Detective Green,
I'm tryin' to get...

- Just make it Eddie, will you?

Eddie.

- Thanks.

Well Eddie, l'm tryin' to get
a hold of afriend of yours.

In fact, it was the man you
were talking about on the phone.

- Richard Flynn?

- Yes.

Well I guess you know
he's n olonger on the force.

In fact, now he makes his livin'

goin' afte rmost-wanted
criminals for bounty.

He's got a little private detection firm

right down the road in Lava Springs.

- Yes, I know that too.

- Well if you know that,

what are you comin' to see me for?

Why don't you just call him directly?

Well I tried writing
him and calling him,

but he won't answer me.

- Mm-hmm.

Not like Richard Flynn to do that.

He doesn't cold shoulder people

unless he has a good reason.

- Well perhaps in my case,

he feels like he has a good reason.

You see, my name's Terry Nash.

My mother was Angela Nash.

- Angela.

So you're the baby.

- l was.

So you decided to take
your mother's malden name

for your last name instead
of your father's, huh?

- Eddie,

I've got to see him.

- Okay kid, I'll make you a deal.

Suppose you tell me

why it's so important for
you to see Richard Flynn

and then maybe I'll tell
you if I can help you?

Kinda in a hurry this
morning, aren't you?

- Yeah, sorry.

Paper's sending me to interview
this psychic investigator.

His name is Guy Zupan or something.

- Well what's the rush?

Well the appointment
is clear across town

and I lef this file at my place.

lt's kind of an odd
assignment for you, isn't it?

- Not really.

It's related to that demon slasher case.

- Demon slasher case?

You mean those serial
killings of those young girls?

Yeah, that's what the
papers are calling it.

Pretty tasteless, huh?

- Not for your paper.

- Oh, ha-ha.

Will I see you tonight?

- Let me call you, okay?

- Sure.
- okay.

See you later.
- Seeya.

- Richard.

- Yes, Angela?

I've got to talk to you.

This is the last time we'll be together.

- You're not serious.

- l'm going to marry Brian.

- I can't believe you're saying this.

You known one will ever
love you as much as I do.

- Yes, I do know that, Richard.

And I love you too.

I always will.

But there's a good reason
why I'm marrying Brian

and an even more important
one why I'm no tmarrying you.

- Angela, this doesn't make any sense.

- Our needs are so different,

but I think I could make Brian happy.

- Look, if you don't wanna marry me,

okay, I understand that.

There are a lot of good reasons for that.

But Angela, please don't
marry Brian Devree.

He's not what he appears to be.

And that religious
group he hangs out with,

there's something very wrong
about that whole setup.

- I've made up my mind, Richard.

Please

don't try to change it.

Well I guess there's
nothing more to say,

except that l love you

and I'll always love you.

I'll always love you.

I'll always love you,
I'll always love you.

I'll always love you.

- I gotta hand it to you, kid.

That's about the most incredible story

I think I've ever heard.

- I know it is, Eddie.

I don'tblame you if you don't believe me.

I was hopin' this picture
might carry some weight.

Leo Arkham, the head of the<
cult that killed your mother.

Isn't that Brian Devree
next to him, your father?

- Yeah.

- So what's the point of the photo?

- Well look at the car in the background.

- Good eye, kid.

They didn't have cars like
that 20 years ago, did they?

And that'show long those
guys have been dead.

Where'd you get this photo?

I took it mysel right
here in Lava Springs

two weeks ago.

- Let's go find Richard Flynn.

Ah, there's Flynn's car.

Must be goin' shoppin'.

C'mon.

Hey, trooper!

- Get down!

Get out.

Go on.

- No!

No, please!

- My baby.

My baby please.

Someone save my baby.

Please, someone save my baby.

- My baby pleasel

- No!

- Come on, copper.

Come and get me and watch
me blow this kid's brains

all over the wall.

Well, what's it gonna be?

Put your guns down and the kid lives.

- Let the kid go.

- l'm not kidding, mother fucker!

Put the gun down!

- Eddie, don't put your gun down.

Let the kid go!

- You want this kid to die?

Fine, just keep on walkin'.

- I don't want anyone to die.

But if you don't let that kid go,

no matter what else happens, Stover,

it'll be your brains all over that wall.

- Stay back!

- If anymore kids are gonna die,

it stops here, Stover!

- Stayback!

No!

- He looks good down there.

- That's where he belongs.

- You guys okay?

- Yeah Fred, it's all over.

- Hey guys, whoa, whoa, whoa.

It's all cleaned up.

Good timing, guys.

Eddie.

- Freddie.
- Yo.

Get this woman some
medical attention, will ya?

- Sure.

- Tim, Dan?

A lotta injured people
back in that aisle.

- Got it.

Get that ambulance over
here right away, all right?

- Check.

That's a very brave
thing you did, young man.

- Thank you.

- Well Richard, say hello to Terry Nash.

- Hello.

Look,

I gotta go.

- How can you beat that?

Mr. Zupan, you have never
sought publicity before.

So why have you contacted
the press at this time?

- No no no no.

Not the press, Miss Brent.

You.

- Me?

- Yes.

I know you to be a fair
and non-exploitive memher

of your profession.

And what I have to tell
you is very important.

- And what is that, Mr. Zupan?

This kille ryou refer
to as a demon slasher,

I know who it is.

Well I don't know exactly where he is.

I've been searching
for him for many years.

But I can tell you this:

10 girls have died.

10 more will die

before the next full moon.

- How can you know this?

- 20 years ago in this same region,

the same group performed
the same ceremony.

But what you don' tknow is that

one of those murdered
girls was my daughter.

- Oh Mr. Zupan, I am so sorry.

- I've been following them for two decades

all over the world.

Then finally,

I've caught up with them.

They are here, Miss Brent,

within the boundaries of Lava Springs.

- Angela.

- You see, Richard.

I'm not dead.

I need you tocome after me.

- Angela.

Angela, I miss you so much.

I love you so much.

- I love you too, Richard.

But you must come for me.

There's little time left.

- Why can't we just leave now?

Because you're not
really here, but I am.

You must come for me when you're awake.

- I don't understand.

I don'tknow what you mean.

- I must warn you about something.

You have to go now.

He's coming.

- Who's coming?

I don't know what you mean.

I don't understand.

Hello?

- I'm sorry to call so late, Flynn.

- What is it, Eddie?

- Now, now don't get pissed.

I want you to see this kid.

Do it for me, will ya, Richard?

He's shown me something
I think you oughta see.

- Okay Eddie, anything for you.

I'll do it.

- Fine.

How's nine o'clock in th emorning?

- All right, where?

- Church of the Blessed Saint.

Sister Mary's office.

- All right, Eddie.

I'll be there.

- Goodnight, trooper.

- Goodnight.

- Well kid, congratulations.

You're battin' a thousand.

- What was that?

- That's just my shorts expanding.

- No really, I heard something overthere.

- Jeanie, it's a forest.

It was probably just
a rabbit or something.

Come on.

What the?

No!

Help me,

help me.

Helpme!

What the?

Whoa!

- Hello, Eddie?

This is Terry.

There's been another murder.

- Miss Brent,

there is one more person
you should speak with.

Her name is Madame Oleska.

- I'm so very glad you called, Miss Brent.

Guy Zupan speaks very
highly of you and your work.

- Thank you.

Madame Oleska, what can you tell me

about the dark of the moon ceremony?

- It is performed all over the world

by various unrelated satanic groups.

The group Mr. Zupan is following
are called the Perennials.

It is a terribly sadistic
and savage religion,

almost as old as man itself.

- Why are they called the Perennials?

Because it is rumored
that they never die,

not in the sense that we know death.

They are have supposed to have
mastered a means of cloning,

though not in the scientific sense.

But of course, this is a legend
that has never been proven.

- And they can never be killed?

- Only by sacred steel.

That is to say a knife or a
sword that had been blessed.

- I've never heard any of this before.

It's not written about
in any of the usual books

available on satanism,

except for some very old ones
from Germany and England.<

Why is this group considered
so much more dangerous?

You must understand
that most satanic cultists

are unorganized and rather sick people.

They do terrible things

because they are inspired
by Satan, you understand?

But they are not directly linked to him,

whereas the Perennials are.

In ancient writings,

they are referred to as
the soldiers of Satan.

I always thought that
cults only worship Satan.

- I'm afraid you're confusing

the deity with the parishioners.

And you seriously mean they're
actually linked to Satan?

- Linked, my dear.

They are his children.

- Having some trouble?

- Yes, I know nothing about cars.

- Well I'm not exactly an expert myself,

but I'd be glad to take a look for you.

- Oh thank you.

- Sure.

Mr. Flynn, not only
have I raised Terry Nash,

but as you may know I
raised his mother as well.

And I can give you my personal assurance

that a finer, more honest
man does not exist.

Terry told me there've been
two attempts to kidnap him

in the last six weeks.

- That's right, Mr. Flynn.

And I'm sure he has something to do

with this Leo Arkham
and Brian Devree thing.

You people are hitting me
awfully hard with all this

and I've had a rather tough morning.

- Hey, what about the picture, Richard?

- Oh come on, Eddie.

You know how easy those
things are to fake.

- Motive.

Motive, trooper.

I mean what possible reason

could this kid have for puttin'you on?

Are you gettin'a little
skeptical in your old age, buddy.

- Skeptical?

I'm skeptical.

You show me a picture of two guys

that I killed 20 years ago, Eddie.

I killed them with my own hands

and there's blood all over me.

And this kid says he
took it two weeks ago.

And not only, Eddie.

Not only are they not
dead, they haven't aged.

And you're surprised, I'm skeptical?

- All right, all right.

Forget about the plcture, all right?

Last night, Terry called me up.

He knew about the Lovers Lane killing

before we even found out.

- Oh and you call yourself a detective?

Why if anything, the thing
that it would suggest to me

is that the reason that kid
knows something about it

is 'cause he's in on it somehow!

- Flynn, that is absolute bullshit!

- Yes, Mr. Flynn.

Bullshit!

- Sister Mary,

I have only one thing
I wish to say to you.

- And what is that, Mr. Flynn?

- Goodbye.

- Well nice try anyways, sister.

Sorry, kid.

Because of your stupidity,
Flynn is still alive.

He and that policeman are all that stand

between us and the child!

- Please, gimme one more chance.

- I'm afraid you'll have to make your plea

to a greater power.

- I tried to warn you, Richard.

- Warn me about what?

About the men with the
swords at the waterfall.

There is much danger.

- Hold it, hold it.

Hold it.

It's me, for Christ's sake.

- Sorry.

- Yeah, I heard about that incident today

out there on the bridge.

Why didn't you tell me, huh?

- It must've just slipped my mind.

- Oh yeah, sure.

Listen, I gotta talk to you
about that incident today.

Trooper, you're not gonna believe this.

One of those guys got
out there on the scene.

Your guys got there,
the bodies were gone.

Just like the vanishing 20 years ago.

- How did you know?

- 'Cause they're back, Eddie.

It's happening all over again.

So then you do believe the
story about Arkham and Devree

and you know now that that
Terry kid is on the level.

- Yeah, l'm a believer.

I'm still not sure what part
that kid plays in all of this.

I don't know if it's possible
Angela's still alive, but

I think she's trying
to communicate with me

through my dreams.

- What do you think this means anyway?

- Four years ago outta nowhere,

I decide to take up fencing.

And then later, broadswords.

And then today,

'bouta dozen guys attacked
me with broadswords

and I survived because
I know how to use one.

Now doesn't that strike you
as kind of an odd coincidence?

- Odd?

Hell, yes.

- It's no coincidence, Eddie.

Something big's about to happen.

Something,

something evil.

And somehow, it centers around that kid

and the night Angela died.

- Hear me, Malius.

I have another plan, one
I believe will please you.

I need your help.

Great sentinel of the darkness,
send me your soldiers!

- All right, I'm here.

What is it?

- The way you treated young Terry Nash

the other morning in my
presence was unforgivable.

You couldn't hope to meet a finer boy.

- Sister, let's not forget that

I had the distinctive pleasure

of knowing Terry's father
on a very intimate basis.

In fact, I killed him

just as he was about to
slit young Terry's throat.

What Brian Devree was
like has nothing whatsoever

to do with Terry.

- I appreciate your feelings.

But please, don't tell
me how I should feel.

- You don't understand, Mr. Flynn.

There are many things in this matter

of which you are unaware.

Sister Mary, could you possibly
please come to the point?

The day Angela Nash
died, I made her a promise;

a promise which I have since regretted

thousands of times.

The matter I promised to be silent about,

Mr. Flynn, concerns you.

And I have decided
after great deliberation

that I can no longer keep tha tpromise.

Sister Mary, what could
you possibly tell me

that would alter my feelings?

- For one thing, I can tell you

that Terry Nash is not Brian Devree's son.

- What do you mean?

- Haven't you noticed, Mr. Flynn,

there's absolutely no physical resemblance

between Terry and Brian Devree?

For that matter,

there's verry little
between Angela and Terry.

However, he does bear a strong resemblance

to someone, Mr. Flynn.

Do you think a master
detective like yourself

can guess who?

- Do you mean?

Are you trying

to tell me that...

- Yes, Mr. Flynn.

Terry Nash is your son.

- The dark of the moon is almost upon us.

- And I owe you a tremendous apology.

- That's all right.

I understand.

Must be quite a shock for
you finding out suddenly

that I'm your father.

- No, actually l've known for some time.

- How?

00:54:45,961
- Why did she tell you and not tell me?

Well she promised mom
she wouldn't tell you.

She didn't promise she wouldn't tell me.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- I wanted to many times,

but to do so would've
betrayed Sister Mary's trust.

- I guess you're right.

So tell me.

Terry, why do you think
your mother's still alive?

- Because I have dreams about her.

- What kind of dreams?

- Each dream is exactly alike.

She's in a dark, vast chamber.

- A dark, vast chamber.

You mean like a cave.

- And she's young.

Exactly as she was when I was
a baby about the age I am now

and she tells me many things.

And sometimes she says there's danger,

but she never says what it is.

And then later, I dream about it.

- Like what?

Like the two times I
was nearly kidnapped.

I dreamt about the incidents

the nights before they happened.

I think my mother's alive

and I want you to help me find her.

- Don't be afraid, my dear.

You will soon be reunited with your son

briefly.

- Good afternoon, gentlemen.

What may I help you with?

Well Stacey Brent seems to
think that you can supply us

with some information
relating to the local rash

of cult-related killings.

- I can help you agreat deal, Mr. Flynn.

But much of what I would tell you

you may not believe, unless of course

I can prove that my
psychic powers are genuine.

- And how do you propose to do that?

- Would it surprise you to know

that I know that Terry Nash is your son?

- Who told you that?

- Well Angela did.

- She's only been dead for 20 years.

- She is not dead, Mr. Flynn.

- I knew this was a wasted trip.

C'mon Flynn, let's get outta here.

- Eddie, let her talk.

- She is in a darkplace, an evil place.

She is a prisoner there.

Dark forces hold her.

And unless she is saved from
what they have planned for her,

something horrible will
be fall the whole world.

- And I thought Rod Serling was dead.

- Eddie, please.

She's not dead?

She is in a state of
suspended animation.

She's not dead.

She is in the anti-chamber,
the dream chamber.

- And where is this place?

- Where the sacrifice is to be performed.

lt is near, very nearby.

- What sacrifice?

- The sacrifice that you interrupted

so many years ago, Mr. Flynn.

The sacrifice of Angela
and your son Terry.

- But he's grown up.

- But this does not matter, Mr. Flynn.

They want Terry for a
very special meeting,

other than his innate goodness.

But this is not quite clear to me yet.

Many people appear to be good.

But when temptation was laid before them,

they could not resist

So Brian Devree found her.

She appeared as an angel of light

and soon she came to love him.

He laid before her all
manner of temptation,

but she took none of it.

She was the perfect human
sacrifice, she and her baby.

Have you not noticed how
everything is in increments of 20:

20 years, 20 female sacrifices?

lt has to do with the planets
being properly aligned.

- How can you possibly know all this?

- Because I too dream, Mr. Flynn.

Angela is in a very dark
place deep inside the earth.

If you go to her,

you shall be risking more
than just your lives.

Once the 20th girl dies, it
is only a matter of 24 hours

before the sacrifice of Angela and Terry.

- If your calculations are right,

a girl has turned up
missing every two days.

That means it's less than a week

'til the ceremony takes place.

Terry's life is not in danger
until the actual ceremony.

They need him alive.

- And as time grows nearer,

they're gonna be even more
desperate to get a hold of Terry.

If you die in the chamber,
your spirits will be trapped.

If the ceremony is completed
and the gates open,

the demons below will have
free reign on the Earth

unopposed perhaps forever.

- So what do we do next?

- You must prepare.

Prepare to fight them in a
way that will end this evil.

- Hello.

Hello.

Madame Oleska?

Is anyone home?

Madame Oleska?

Madame Oleska?

Oh, there you are.

Madame Oleska, are you all right?

Are you in a trance or something?

Are you okay?

- Call Eddie.

Oh my god, it's all right.

It's all right.

With Madame Oleska
dead, Guy Zupan missing,

how are we gonna find Arkham's chamber?

>- We'll have to hold up at my place

and wait for Arkham t omake the next move.

Look, it's okay.

I want you outta this.

This is not your fight.

I wantyou to go home to
Oregon and I mean tonight.

- Eddie's on his way.

- Sacred steel, huh?

All right, if that's what it takes,

we'll give 'em all the
sacred steel they can eat.

- Higher, higher.

- Strike, strike.

Yeah.

- Well is that it for the day?

- Yeah, I've had it.

I'm gonna sit down here
for a moment, I think.

- You guys did good today.

Same time tomorrow?

- Get outta here.

- I'll see you later.

- Sure you can.
- Bye bye.

- Bye bye.

- I'm gonna go get some snack time.

Nice work, kid.

- Thanks a lot.

- Terry.

- Yeah?

- You stick to Eddie.

- You got it.

And tell Freddie and Dan
you're gonna be in the house.

- Okay.

- Freddie, is everything okay out there?

- Yeah, everything's dead.

Whoops, that's a poor choice of words.

- Well just keepin touch on schedule

and keep your eyes peeled, okay?

- I will, yup.

- I'm sorry to have startled you,

but I've had a problem with my car

and I was wondering if you could help me.

- Well sure, sure.

Of course, of course.

But excuse me just one moment, please?

Dan, you there?

- I've come to take you with me to marry.

Come closer.

- Terry, getaway from her!

- Eddie, Eddiel

- Terry.

They've taken Terry.

Signal stops here.<

- Then this mus tbe the entrance.

Make sure you place those
charges all along here,

so it'll bring the whole roof down.

- All right.

- And Eddie.

- Yeah.

If Angela, Terry and
I don'tmake it out,

just make sure nobody else does either.

- Count on it.

- Destroy him.

- Wakeup, Mary.

For god's sake, wake up, son!

Die!

Terry, wake up, son.

Wake up!

- Dad.

- Terry!

- Dad,

catch!

- Terry!

- Ow!

- Angela.

Gotta get Angela.

- Richard.

- Angela.

- Very touching family reunion, Mr. Flynn.

Unfortunately for you, your last.

- Go on, son.

Get your mother out of here.

- How about you?

- I could save the force if I saved you.

Now you can get her out of here.

Go on.

I've got something to finish here.

Go on, get goin'.

- What do you intend to do with that?

- Send you to Hell.

- Not with that sword, you won't.

That one belongs to one of my soldiers.

Yours is over there.

Mr. Flynn.

It lookslike we're going to
have a sacrifice after all.

You really think that thing could hurt me?

- This one can.

- Flynn!

Run for it.

- Zupan.

- Now!

- Eddie, hit the timer now!

- No way, Flynn.

No, get out first.

- Now Eddie, now!

- C'mon, buddy.

Come on.

- Whoa!

Fuck!

- There he is.

- I'm all right.

In the unlikely event that
you boys should ever be back,

we'll be ready.

We'll always be ready.

- What'd you say to him?

- I told him.

I told him to go to Hell.

Hey kid, looks like all
the troubles are over.
