Def by Temptation (1990) - full transcript

An evil succubus is preying on libidinous black men in New York City, and all that stands in her way is a minister-in-training, an aspiring actor, and a cop who specializes in cases involving the supernatural.

Look, look, babe.

Hey, we had a good time, right?

So I assume that
you're a big girl,

and that you're takin' something.

So just get an abortion,
what's the big deal?

Honey honey, honey, honey,
you're groveling.

That's very unattractive.

Look, just dump the kid and we can
kick it again, all right?

I'll even pay for it.

Send me the bill and my check
will be in the mail.

Honey, I gotta run, gotta go.



Ciao, baby.

Hi, can you talk?

Is he there or did he
leave already?

Good.

So we got the whole weekend again.

Perfecto.

So um, listen, honey, I've
got this new fantasy

about dressin' up in your
husband's clothes

and playin' captain kirk and goin'

where no man has ever gone before,
how's that grab you?

Yeah.

Yeah, get the handcuffs.

I love it, I'll see you later.

Ow.



Hey, bartender, when
you get through with her,

can I borrow it?

No, my brother, you got
to get your own.

You should use a
cigarette lighter.

The flame lasts longer.

I'll have to remember that.

Can I buy you a drink?

Well, now that's something I'd
definitely considered.

Except that it's sort of
against the house rules.

Well then why don't you let
me make you a drink

at my house under my rules?

Duke of seduction

come on in, the door's open.

Do you always leave your
door open like that?

Or was it because you just
couldn't wait to see me?

That's it, just
couldn't wait to see you.

That's so nice to hear.

But then again, it always is.

Oh, I see.

You hear that often, do you?

This is quite a place
you have here.

I did it all myself.

So, how do you like the bed?

You know, I think you can tell
a lot about a woman

by the kind of bed she sleeps in.

Now, this freaky bed says to me

that you are one
hot-natured freakazoid

that can't wait to jump my bones,

because you know I've got to
key to your place.

Hot as she is, why would she
wanna cover the mirror?

J I'm here for you baby

j tryin' to feel this muse

J the way it's coming back
up your existence

j when it comes to love
we'll make it

j you lost your appetite

j and now you're hungry

j for me now

J sugar, ooh

j make it pretty, make it sweet

j it's a feel-good

j you don't understand, ooh

j you're hungry

j ooh, you know I want you so bad

j you're the best I ever had

j you're hungry

j for me again, ooh

j you like it baby

j you're nothing like you,
you're hungry

No, no!

Blessed is the man that
endureth temptation,

that hath no temptation taken you,

but such as is common to man.

But god is faithful,

who will not suffer you

to be tempted upon that
you are able.

Let me say that again.

Blessed is the man that
endureth temptation.

I want you to spend some
time with grandma.

Is something wrong, daddy?

There's a person; My god,
it's a woman.

You're going to hit her!

Stop it. - Oh my god,

you're gonna hit! - Stop it!

You all right?

Yeah, I just had this
really weird dream.

I know, so did I.

When your mom and dad died in that
horrid car accident,

I took you in and raised you up,
just like I did your daddy.

All three of us knew
you were special,

'cause you just looked like

you had been blessed
straight from birth.

The older you got, the clearer
your future became to me.

You've worked hard, baby.

And now, after this summer,

you will complete your
evangelistic training

and go on to become

the world-renowned minister

we both foresee you doing.

But you know, the forces of hell

are just a little too
real for that.

What I'm sayin' is,

when you are just one step

away from reachin' your goal,

that actually is a crossroad.

And it's up to you

to look both ways.

J what makes you feel
that way about me

j don't gimme no, shut up, bam

j my name... - My name is dougy

I'm a martial artist, but.

I'm gonna have to get
to the airport.

I have a flight for the um event.

Event, yeah, I'm going to work on
this new film project

with Bruce Lee.

Oh, with Bruce Lee.

Between me and you,
Bruce is not dead.

Okay? - All right.

As you can see, that's why

I'm workin' on this film project,
see?

'Cause we got together
this last time.

Remember that film, the
last one he did?

The guy who got kicked in
the head at the end?

That was Lee!

That's him? - Probably, I think.

Hi.

Hi.

Can I buy you a drink?

Well, that's usually
how it starts.

Hey, bartender, do you sell, um,

champagne by the glass?

Course, unless you like champagne,

in which case we can get
ourself a bottle.

I love champagne.

As a matter of fact, do you
serve cristal here?

Do you serve Perrier jouet?

Well, would you happen to have

a 1972 bottle of dom perigon?

Yo, yo, let's.

I just get so excited about
orderin' champagne.

Besides, I love it so much.

J used to do it too

j tryin' to get you through

what's your name?

Huh? - Your name.

My name? - Uh huh.

Uh, John.

John.

Mm-hmm. - That's funny

because you look like
the kind of guy

who would have a name
like Norman maybe.

Why don't we take the
champagne back to my place?

Or am I being too forward?

No, not at all, that's
the way I like it.

Yeah; Hey, bartender.

Um,

yeah.

Here, keep the change.

No, give me my change.

Look, uh, Norman, why don't
you make up your mind?

Keep the change, have a good
night; Thank you.

J whoo

j think about it

last night, while he was tryin'
to pick me up,

he told me he was a surgeon.

A surgeon? - Well I, 1,
I am a surgeon.

You know, but I just like,
well like,

I'm like a kung fu surgeon.

You know, like, I... - Oh.

1, you know, I operate on people
who like, you know,

get hurt doin' kung and
fu and all that.

You know, but haven't I met
you somewhere before?

No, I don't think so.

I remember where it was.

Oh, yes.

This is too good to be true.

Oh!

You're right, it is.

Oh, yes.

Don't move.

What's, what's goin' on?

Yes.

Yo, this is k, I
ain't in right now.

If this a girl, beep me, and
if it's a fellow,

leave a message. - Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, yo,
this is k.

I'm back in time, speak on it
quick for more of your time.

K. - Who dat?

Joel. - Joel?

Joel, what's happenin', man?

God, I ain't talked to
you in a while.

Why don't you call me back, man?

How you doin"? - Joel,
little brother,

what's going on with you,
young man?

Why you never called me back?

What do you mean, why haven't I
been calling your back?

Why don't you call me back?

Somehow I didn't get
your message.

Oh, well, probably not gettin'
it.

Grandma labeled me public
enemy number one

since I committed a crime somehow
by movin' up to New York.

But grandma is grandma, and
I love her anyway.

How's she doing, man?

She's all right.

Um.

Oh, yo, man, is grandma diggin'
all in your ass and shi-,

I mean, givin' you a hard time,
partner?

Yeah, but it's deeper than that.

Listen, k, I'm really feelin' like
I need to take a break

from things, so that I can uh just
clearly look at things.

Joel, say no more.

My place is your place, brother,
when you comin'?

Seriously? - You're damn skippy.

I really, really, really,
really appreciate this.

Thanks, k. - Hey, hey, hey,

we'll have none of
the mushy stuff.

We're macho men, remember that.

I'm in New York now, I
don't play that.

You got to see the previews for
my new flick, man.

It's hell, they got me bustin'
down knuckleheads

left and right, all on the corner,
I'm taking 'em out.

No! - Yep, yep, yep.

Now you know I got to go back and
talk about old times

when we used to call
each other homey.

I can't believe I said shit,
stuff like that.

Oh, I got something for you.

Remember, back in the day... - No,
no, no.

I remember...

Bitch, what the hell's
wrong with you?

I mean, how am I supposed to
explain this to my...

Wife?

Norman.

Yeah, I know who you are.

Those marks are nothing

compared to what you're
gonna get later.

Honey I've given you somethin'
there's no cure for.

It's gonna grow and grow

until it consumes you.

You don't look like
you got anything.

Is that what you're
gonna tell your wife

when she wants to fuck?

I never did this before, I mean,
this is my first time.

I mean, I just thought I
could just walk away.

I mean, just walk away.

I mean, men are
supposed to like that.

Get outta here.

I'm tired of looking at you.

I don't wanna lose my family.

Honey, I think you got

some breakfast waitin' for you.

Oh, my god.

No.

Oh, my god, not me lord, no,
not me!

No, no, not me, I didn't do it!

No, no, no, no!

Grandma, I'm going to leave you
here for this trip.

When you are just one step away

from reachin' your goal in life,

that actually is a crossroad.

And it's up to you to
look both ways.

J girl

j you are from
another place of old

j take a little
mocking me and mine

it was very exciting
to travel in Europe.

Excuse me, bartender, can I have
a vodka tonic, please?

Can I get you something?

Tell me somethin'.

Look, all the men in this bar, am
I really that obvious?

Well, excuse me, honey.

I go to more sophisticated
gay bars than this

and you look somewhat
familiar to me.

Really, no offense.

I'm just here for some
conversation.

I'm really not looking for
anything tonight.

And if you still wanna
buy me that drink,

I'll take Remy Martin, please.

Five-dollar drink from a
two-dollar man, you bitch.

You have lips like wine.

And I wants to get drunk tonight!

Hey, what?

God.

Playin' hard to get, huh?

Hey, man, she was hittin' on me,
man.

Home girl got mad
'cause I wouldn't

give up that phone number action.

Man, she too skinny anyway, man.

I like them big girls, man.

That girl got a welfare butt, man.

You know what?

From this spot here,

them honeys, they be be
all over me, man.

I'm tellin' you, man, they
be hittin' on me

like a hurricane in here, man.

Ask that other bartender,
he'll tell you.

You know him? - No.

Hey, he's a nice brother, man, I
like him a lot, man.

We were starting to hit it off.

Then my man stopped comin' around,
man.

I ain't heard nothin' from him.

Really?

Yeah, you know what the
messed up part is?

He never got a chance to tell me

about his date with home
girl over there.

See what I'm talking about with
them long, gold fingernails?

Of course I see her.

She's the baddest babe in here.

So did you hit on her too or what?

Hey, no bet, man.

Somethin' about her, man, I
don't know what it is.

But she just weird, you
know what I mean?

I mean, she got them spooky eyes,
man.

I can't put my finger on it, man.

But home girl, she just
ain't the move.

You know what I mean?

No, I don't know what you mean.

But then it really doesn't matter,
'cause

I'm probably the last happily
married man in the world.

Bartender.

Uh oh, speak of the devil.

Grandma, I'm turning 21 soon.

I really feel like I need to
take a little break

to be sure that this is
what I want for me.

I'm really feelin' like nothin'
seems normal

about my life to me, everything
seems out of place.

J 1 guess I'll carry on

j it's a separate situation

no, no, seriously, I'm a
race car driver.

At the track...

& we were lost

j in my frustration

j we're too hurt to even cry

j I wanna be all over you

j like you wanna be

j all over - you sure you wanna

stand here, darling?

Well, if you don't mind.

J I wanna be all over... - May I?

J I know you're seeing someone

j that don't bother me now

I don't mind at all.

So”?

So.

Hey, bartender, beer, please.

J you might think it's
just starting, ah

j we were meant to be together

j we let things go a
little too far

j I wanna be all over you

j I wanna be all over you

it's your choice.

J I wanna be all over you

j all over you

where we're going,
it's much better.

At least with me,

it's much better.

J all over you

j I wanna be

Let me do that tab thing,
I'll be back.

I'll be back, okay?

J I wanna be all over you

j you wanna be all over me

j this little diamond, waiting to

j sinks into the, oh, oh

j yeah, yeah, all over you

please, tell me that
this chair is empty

because you're alone.

Can I, do you mind if I sit down?

That might be nice. - Oh,

it's gonna be more than nice,
I'll see to that.

You look familiar to me.

Oh, you might have seen me in
a couple of flicks.

I'm an actor; Maybe
shakedown on areda Avenue,

born in bedstock, two
tough cookies.

Okay,

wow, I know you.

See, that puts me
at a disadvantage.

Why is that?

Well, I don't know who you are.

Can I ask you something?

Please, ask me anything.

Could I have an autograph?

Oh, yeah. - It's not for me,

it's for my little brother.

Your little brother, yeah,
what's his name?

J.

J, like jimbroswky?

No, James.

All right, to James, my man.

Cool out.

Thanks.

No problem.

So, you new in town?

K?

K! - Huh?

Hi, um, sorry.

Um listen, you got my
digits and I got yours.

Let's keep this thing goin', okay?

Well, the night's still young.

Mm, yes, it is.

Itis, it is, it is.

But, unfortunately,

my partner Joel is coming to town

and I have to meet him and get him
set up and tuck him in

and all of that big-brother stuff,
I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Listen, we gotta do this
again real soon.

Yeah.

Promise? - I promise.

Okay, let me go pay
for the check.

Okay.

Oh shit, I forgot to
ask you your,

name, what the, nah, she
didn't walk...

Yeah.

Hey. - Oh!

Boy, I almost I almost fucked you,
I almost messed you up.

Don't you know not to sneak up on
a brother from New York

wearin' that gl Joe shit, what's
the matter with you?

What?

What? - What?

Evening, sir, the fresh funky?

You comin' dressed like gomer
pyle and shit, come on.

- Man, you hurt my feelings.
- Come on.

That's an attitude. - Now, just,

they would have knew you
was waitin' for me,

standin' out in front of my door.

It would have been a scandal.

Well, this is home.

Listen, I um I just wanted
to say that I don't,

you're not on trial here, and I'm
not here to judge you.

I'm not, all I want, I'm just
here, I just want to hang.

All right, we'll hang.

Look at you. - It look good,
right?

Look at you. - Sharp as a tack.

You don't look like somebody

I went to the school of
ministry with.

Ooh, the school of ministry.

Joel, that seems like ages ago.

Man, I love what you're doing and
that's for you to do.

But uh, the move for me was to
get out of there early

and come do this acting gig,

because it's the only thing
I know how to do.

I know what this is over here.

What? - I know what this is.

Oh, yeah. - This must be...

Yes.

Is this Bertha? -
That's my girl.

That is my girl.

We have been through three
sequels together.

And uh it's my favorite
film souvenir.

I don't get to use it much except

when I go out to the range,
but love it.

I can't get into, uh, be careful.

Why?

I keep the knives sharpened and
I keep the guns loaded

because movies is one thing,
but um,

but life is a whole lot tougher,
sometimes.

So you really think that comin'
to New York

was the right thing to do, huh?

We'll have none of
the mushy stuff.

I told you, I got guns and shit,
knives

and bachelor clocks and radios.

This is manly shit, we're
gonna do one hug,

and then quit it, all right?

Let me close the
curtains so nobody...

Hey.

How you like New York so far?

New York is stupid, wild?

Is that, no, now you said it
like that earlier now.

Come on.

Why you going to do this to me?

You got them ugly brown shoes on.

Now you're trying to get down
with that, you just,

you preach, I'll teach, all right?

Okay, anyway, New York is um,

New York is wild.

There are these like massive
amounts of people, all right?

It's not like there's this

a little over here, a little over
there, they're everywhere.

And everybody is like a character.

Yeah, yeah, but let me tell
you something, man.

There is a lesson in
what we saw today.

And yes, the teacher will
hip you to it.

Okay, okay.

What you saw today, young
brother, were victims,

of economics, and
violent reaganomics.

All right now, to say that,
to say that

the small town we come from

and the people there,
they are reality.

But no more so than the
knuckleheads and the people

that you bumped into walkin' down
the streets of New York.

You can't be sheltered from the
truths of our life

and then go out and do
your ministry.

Right? - Right.

You got to climb up and see over

both sides of that fence, you
dig what I'm sayin'?

Yeah, but what you're saying
then is that essentially,

it's essentially, it's
unfair to relate

from a glass-house perspective is
what you're saying.

Well, if you wanna
condense my speech, man.

Well I, you're just a tad
bit long-winded.

Hey, boy, this is my house.

I'll talk as long and as
loud as I want.

I pay the rent here.

Don't you come from north Carolina

tellin' me how long to talk.

Just get the point.

No, Joel, seriously, the
streets are real.

They're too real.

Oh, man, I almost forgot.

I met a woman.

What'd you say, you
met a wo-mon?

Yeah, buddy.

I'm startin' to hear a little of
that country come out.

Oh, why yes, yes 'um,
I met a woman.

I got to tell you about her.

Michael Jackson said he was bad.

He didn't know what bad meant.

This honey I met the
other night was bad.

Bad? - Bad.

Who's bad? - Super bad.

You know what I'm sayin'?

All right, all right.

Hey? - Hey?

All right. - Okay.

Well. - Okay.

Okay. - All right now.

First off, right of the bat,
she ain't no joke.

She's sweet.

No one comes here
without an appointment

or unless I bring
them here myself!

And there's more.

She's really polite.

Is there a problem?

No.

And she, she like looks sexy.

She is sexy.

But she comes across innocent.

Darling, oh.

Ow!

Jeez!

Did I do something wrong?

Yes!

Do not kiss me.

Don't get me wrong.

I ain't bitten or smitten,
none of that, cool.

But oh, this is someone
I really think

I could um, get to like a lot.

Girlfriend, where did
that come from?

Oh, that feels...

That feels good!

Oh, that hurts!

Stop, no.

Take it out! - My guess is uh,

she's a pussycat. - No!

We should swing by the club
where I met her,

because uh she'd
probably be there.

And I want to see her again.

And you'd like it 'cause the
bar is New York down

and it'd trip your
little country ass.

Oh, but you know that
I don't drink.

Well, yeah, we can get
you some milk.

Can we take the milk and put it
in like a beer mug,

and then could we say, bartender,

can you like slide the thing
all the way down?

What, you want him to
sling it down there?

Yeah, yeah. - Like the westerns?

No, well, like
adults do in a bar.

You's a country boy, man.

Go back there. - What do
you want me to wear?

Why don't... - No!

No, no, you're not
gonna put that on.

Don't ever touch none of
that garbage again.

Go back there and just

feel the shit, you know
what I'm sayin'?

Go back; Oh no, oh no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I can... - No, Joel, snappy.

No.

Oh, I um... yeah?

I um... - Yeah?

Yeah? - I don't know

what to tell you.

See, I try and do the
hat like you.

Um... see, I tried to do

the hat like you. - No, you better

get back in there, bra.

Now, this has gotta be better,
this has gonna be better.

That's not too bad.

That's not too bad.

Yeah? - If you

change the pants though.

Go ahead, kid.

Look at you.

Look at you.

Lemme get a pair, can
I get a pair?

Damn!

Lookin' kind of sharp.

Look at the Jordans.

Jordan. - Like father like son.

Go ahead, look at my son.

Easy now.

Hey, uh excuse me.

I don't mean to stare at
you or nothin',

but, now I know you're tryin' to
be low-key and everything,

but I know that you know that I
know who you are, right?

I saw you in that magazine.

S yes, I was featured in... -
Penthouse, right, right?

I got that at home!

I got it on my wall right next to
the bed!

Really?

Well, you're mistaken,

because I was featured in vogue,
darling.

Yeah right.

Look, darlin', I don't
never forget no,

well anyway, that was you I saw.

I said it wasn't me.

What are you, hard up
or something?

Hey, hard up, fuck that.

Hey, why don't you just fess up?

Hard up, I ain't no stranger
to wet panties, hey.

And I'm also on a first-name
basis with pussy,

you know what I'm sayin'?

Yeah, I bet you date
fistina and palmette

pretty steady, don't you?

J with all you might

so.

Who are you?

Hey girl, long time no see.

I know.

What do you say, let's
get outta here

and go rockin' for old times sake,
all right?

I would love that, sweetie.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was you too.

So go on with that old,

don't you want to dance tonight,
suit-wearin'...

The car, did you change the
combo of the car?

I was changin'

you look kind of happy there,
dude.

Watch yourself, no, all right,
I um, I um,

actually I um... - Actually?

I uh, I met someone.

Get out of, you met someone?

I been here two minutes.

Two minutes I was gone and met
someone without my help?

You met someone?

But there's, it
gets even better.

Okay.

She's pretty. - She's pretty?

She's probably blind,
but that's cool.

No, I... - You got on my suit,

you're looking prime.

Hey.

This is... - Alady in red?

Alady in red, yeah.

Red, well, Joel, this is cute.

I'm sorry, I don't believe
we've met before.

In fact, I'm sure of it, but
so nice to meet you.

Joel, I asked the
bartender to make

that drink I told you about?

He's got it all ready for you.

Oh, right now? - Uh uh.

Oh, okay, well, let's go.

That's cute, y'all go and
have a good time.

All right, come on now, Joel,
come on back.

Hey!

Stop playin', bring my girl
back over here, man.

Joel.

Hey, wait, hey, wait, hey, yo.

Yo bro, I ain't tryin' to cock
block or nothin' man,

but we are lookin' in the
same direction.

And if you checkin' out
home girl over there

in that red dress with the young
boy, let me tell you,

man, she's bad news.

Thank you very much, brother,
but I'm already hip.

That girl's on a mission.

I ain't not punk or nothin',
man.

I'm 100% man, but, hey,

that bitch scares the
shit out of me.

She scares you?

I know why too, I think
know the deal on her.

So um what happened with you
and the lady in red?

Looked like y'all was
having a good time.

We talked, had a drink.

You had a drink?

You sure did, I saw you; It's
funny, you know, Joel,

it didn't look like milk
in your glass.

There wasn't milk in the glass.

But there wasn't alcohol in the
glass either, okay?

Let me ask you a question, Mr.
Non alcohol.

We're both men, and we both
know attractive women

when we see them.

Let's say you and a certain
attractive woman

decided you uh really
dug each other.

And she got you worked up.

Would you jump in them drawers?

Would you jump in them drawers?

No, I would not.

Why? - You know that I wouldn't.

It's against everything
that I believe in,

everything I've been taught,

everything that I, no, I wouldn't.

Fornication is a sin.

Il don't even know why
you're askin' me this.

All right, cool.

Look, Joel, you said yourself that
New York is wild, right?

Right.

Right?

Yeah, right. - Okay,
I'm just tryin'

to protect you from all
this craziness.

Well, you know what? - What?

I'll tell you what, I can
take of myself.

Bullshit, you can't even dress
your fuckin' self.

I can take care of myself.

All right? - All right, bad ass.

Fine, so it's no secret.

We all know Joel as been
sheltered; But you know what?

I can take care of myself.

I don't understand what
the big deal is.

I can handle myself, I
don't understand.

I don't wanna fight.

You can't fight.

What do you mean I can't fight,
punk?

Give me five. - Give you five.

You can't fight though.

And don't call me no punk.

What do you want me to call you?

My baby.

God, please take care of my baby.

Joel is the last one of
his line.

Soon it's all going to be over.

All of it.

Hi, Joel.

Hi.

I met you that one time at the
club with Joel, right?

Um I wanna just want to grab
something real quick.

And I'll be right back.

Okay? - Okay.

Hurry up though, we wanna
take advantage

of this gorgeous day out, okay?

No, dear, I believe it was twice
we met at the club.

Really?

Yeah, really.

What was you name again?

Oh, you got motherfuckin'
amnesia now, huh?

Look, bitch, you know god damn
well what my fuckin' name is.

Let me ask you a question;
What kind of dope

are you smoking, baby?

What kind of, what kind
of game are you...

Is something wrong, k?

1 uh...

I'm ready.

Okay.

Bye, k.

We'll be seeing you again
real soon, I'm sure.

Joel.

Now, wait a minute, wait, wait,
wait,

I know what I just saw.

Oh, girl, you got a nuclear
butt, you know that?

You got one of them
explosive booties.

Boy, you bring to mind the
old cameo phrase, ow.

You know I work with cameo now.

Yeah, I'm their lead singer.

Word, word up.

Dougy, you gotta believe me.

Hey, man, what's wrong with you?

You look like you had to sit
through a Cher video twice.

Bartender, get this kid a beer,
quick.

No! - It's an emergency.

Dougy, I don't need a beer, a
beer's not gonna help me.

Beer's not gonna help us now.

Us? - Us.

It's about that chick we was
talkin' about, man.

That weird face? - Yes.

It's like I told you, we
practically boned

up on top of the bar the
night I met her.

Right. - And she comes

over to my crib, lookin' for Joel.

You mean that young
kid she was with?

For Joel.

Now that's my homie boy; Come,
come, now.

I figure she gotta be frontin'.

So I wait till Joel leaves the
room, and I call her on it.

I say, yo, baby, what kind of
dope you smokin"?

What kind of games you playin'?

I look at her, I look back,
I look at her.

I look in the mirror, I look at
her, I look in the mirror.

I swear to you,

she was not casting a
reflection in the mirror.

Now, dougy, I'm not crazy.

Dougy, I know what I saw, dougy,

this ain't no fuckin' joke.

Don't laugh, man. - Come on, man.

What are you on, the pipe or what?

Oh, yeah, now I'm on
the pipe now.

Hey, man, you've been working
too hard, you're tired, man.

You know, you get tired,
you're exhausted.

You see things that ain't there.

Dougy, I thought I
could talk to you,

but I can't, so fuck you, stay
your fat ass at this bar

and get dissed by every babe
that comes in here.

I'm out of here, peace.

Hey, hey, hey, I'm not fat, pal.

And I don't think
you're crazy either.

You know what I'm talkin' about?

We're a branch of the
federal government

that specializes in murder under
strange circumstances.

I don't believe this, I
do not believe it.

The supernatural
could be responsible

for a significant percentage
of unsolved murders.

Oh, you're tellin' me now that
along with criminals,

we got ets and zombies killin'
people, man?

About a year ago, I was assigned
to investigate the case

of a man who admitted himself to a
psychiatric hospital,

claiming he had slept
with the devil.

He said he could feel snakes
crawlin' around in his stomach.

As he was about to tell
me who she was,

the snakes began to crawl
out of his mouth.

Oh, you bullshittin'.

Of course, the hospital swept
the incident under the rug.

And I was assigned to do
the follow-up.

I followed the patient's lead and
ended up at the bar.

I've been watching her ever since.

She leaves with men.

And you never see them again.

Okay, so you've been trackin'
her.

And I ain't lost my mind, I
still got it together.

There's no way out of
this thing, k.

I'm gonna need some help.

What you sayin'?

The truth is I've been at
this job for years.

And this is the first
legitimate lead I've had.

I want her, and I want to close
the rule book to get her.

Besides, if I wait on my
superiors to deliberate

on the thing it'll be too late.

And, what you sayin'?

You said she didn't cast a
reflection in the mirror.

That's right, I saw... -
I believe you,

but nobody else would;
It's your call.

I take it then that
you like to travel?

Well, we could just say that

I like to meet people,
yourself included.

I hope to travel around
the world one day.

I think my job will call for it.

Well, I would imagine so.

Being a world-renowned minister
takes a lot, I'm sure.

It definitely, definitely, does,
'cause see...

It's funny, I'm am
sitting here thinkin',

I don't remember ever
mentioning to you

that I wanted to
become a minister.

How did you know that?

You just seem to have
that aura about you.

Plus, your mannerisms tend
to give it away.

I know, because, well,
let's just say

that I've met a few
ministers in my travels.

Really? - Uh huh.

Why don't you tell me more about
your ministry, Joel?

Yeah, I, I've been studying
for a long, long time.

Um, I'm sort of kind of

taking a break right now.

Well, tell me, Joel, how
does one just simply

take a break from god?

I felt that by traveling I could

best see, I'd have an
opportunity to best see

how I could serve humanity.

Is that right?

Yeah.

No, no, it was shake
down areda Avenue.

Oh, that was good. - You
liked that one?

Anyway, we went to areda...

Oh!

I come to share with
you divine wisdom.

Together let us delight in the
lost word rediscovered

through the resurrection
of the mysteries.

What have you come for?

Great madame Sonya, we
come about a woman.

Now this woman or whatever it is,

we have reason to believe has
been dead before.

Come.

This thing is the very nature of
negativeness in mankind.

It exists in every
inclination toward hatred

and in every tiny desire
that would threaten

conscience of man, that part of
man that seeks god and good.

I'd probably be
considered a sinner.

But I so much want to do
what's right, Joel.

Who knows, maybe you'll be the one

to counsel and help me one day.

This spirit, which can only be
referred to as it,

uses sexuality to hold
morality hostage.

Its reason for being is to
seduce the subconscious,

the conscious, yea, the very soul,
so that it might remain

in a fallen, lustful
state of existence.

I knew, from the first
moment I saw you,

I had the feeling that I
could come to you.

I don't know, it
might sound corny.

But I have the feeling that

our destinies are
entangled somehow.

Do you know what I mean, Joel?

Um, um...

It incarnates in the
flesh periodically

to prey on the weak-minded by
imitating the very spirit

of its victim, its adversary,

for the purpose of seducing and
destroying that soul.

In the game of sensual
manipulation, it is unrivaled.

She could only achieve
a real victory

through the destruction of a
truly innocent person,

someone like your Joel, who
is the very last

of his ancestral line left alive
to teach what is right.

So then it lured
Joel to New York.

It's an ancient demon,

and its name is temptation.

There's only one way that it can
be completely destroyed.

And that is for man's total
being and spirit

to remain focused upon and to be
completely submissive

to the utmost reality, which
of course, is god.

Because in that highest of truths
it has no foundation,

no substance of power.

Now, wait a minute, wait a
minute, I read in a book

somewhere or seen in TV
or in a movie,

there's gotta be some kind
of way to at least

lay the soul to rest or
something like that.

Are you okay?

I'm, I'm, I'm okay.

Would your excuse me for a moment?

Okay.

Couldn't we lay the soul to rest
if we decomposed the body

with holy water, then
cut out the heart

while it's still
beating and bury it

beneath hallowed ground?

That's, that's some freaky shit!

We ain't gotta do all of that,
man.

Do we have to do all that?

You think that I do not know
that you are there?

You fools.

Fuck the dumb shit, dougy,
let's roll.

You fools!

You dare to make war
against the beast

and expect to live?

Ah, shit, dougy, I'm outta here.

Listen, listen, are you okay?

Is everything all right?

Yeah, I'm fine, it's
just a headache.

But I do have to go
home and lie down.

Okay, okay, okay.

Well, um, is there anything at
all that I can do?

Do you need aspirin?

Do you need, are you okay?

Is everything, can I do anything?

No, but thank you for asking.

Look at you, you are so sweet.

You must not fool me.

Are you thirsty?

Ah, one bloody Mary!

Comin' right up.

Hey, Joel, hey Joel,
my wife shot me.

She did not.

Come on, Joel, don't be.

You can have mine!

Come to the fold.

Come to the fold, Joel.

Be good, Joel.

They're supposed to conquer.

Oh, god.

Take care of my boy.

We got to talk, is that
woman in the house?

No, she's not here. - Joel,
Joel, listen to me.

Listen to me.

That woman, and I don't know why
you can't see this,

man, is crazy, she is a murderer,
no bullshit.

Remember, I told you
that I met a babe

and I was really
excited about her?

I said she was hot and sweet
and innocent and sexy

and all that bullshit? - Yeah,
yeah, right.

Same bitch.

She came onto you in the
bar that night

and suit you up the same way
she came onto me.

And then she got the balls to walk
in my fuckin' house

and act like she don't know me.

I'm tellin' you,
something ain't right.

Something ain't right. - Why
wouldn't you just

say that when she was standin'
right there

in front of both of us?

1 didn't say anything
about it then

because I didn't want you to think

that I was a little bit jealous,

even if I was just a
little bit jealous.

A little jealous?

Joel, don't start.

I can't believe this.

Joel, open your fuckin' eyes,
man, open your eyes!

I know for a fact man, this babe
is something ain't right.

No.

Maybe it's something
wrong with you.

What is this that I'm smelling?

You've been drinking.

You're running in here telling me,
you've been drinking.

You're gonna... - You're fuckin'
right

I've been drinkin'!

Joel, brother, you don't know.

I've bumped into some strange shit
since you came around.

I've been drinkin', but it ain't
at all about a drink now.

So what's it about? -
What's it all about?

It's, I feel responsible for you,
okay?

And I'm takin' responsibility.

If you're gonna act so fuckin'
naive,

pack your shit, and get the
fuck outta my house.

Go back to your small town

so you can SWAT flies and
milk cows and shit.

'Cause you ain't ready.

Let me tell you something, this
thing is after you.

And I'm scared that if she hasn't
gotten you already,

she will, you dig what I'm sayin'?

Lemme tell you somethin'.

No, no, no, no don't talk to me
like I'm a child, okay,

because I'm not one, I can
take care of myself.

All right, I mean, I, what
is this whole point

of my comin' to New York?

Joel... - What was it,

Joel can make his own decisions,
right?

So that I can take all of this,
everything,

and just sort of put it all
in perspective.

We're talkin' about a woman,
all right?

That's all we're talkin' about.

All she is, she's just
a small piece

of this whole New York trip,

which is just like a big puzzle to
me, and that's all.

I understand, I do.

You got it, stay here,
figure out the puzzle.

My friend dougy, who believes me,
is waitin' in the car.

We're gonna go get busy.

I love you, brother.

But right now, you're just a
walkin' target; Go home.

I'm not playin'.

Go home.

Go home, Joel.

Shut up.

Shut up, fool, fuckin' shut up.

Relax, k.

Listen, you know that
woman I told you

I had bad vibes about?

Yeah, she's the only one
in the bar now.

Listen, I don't have time to
explain the whole thing,

so please trust me, I want you to
put this in her drink.

Now that's holy water that's
just been blessed.

Put it in the drink and get
out of there, okay?

Thank youl!

Yo, relax, k, this ain't
three tough cookies.

The house is buying.

Why, thank you.

Look, man, when she drinks
that holy water,

she's gonna start slobberin"
and fartin'

and gaggin' and shit.

You put the shovel in my trunk,
right?

Yeah.

Are you ready?

I'm as ready as I'll ever be,
man.

Let's knock this shit out and
get it over with.

Stay back!

Hold it, hold it down before
it's too late, man!

Come on, dougy!

Now your soul can rest in peace!

Do it.

Do it.

What the fuck is wrong with you,
man?

Come on, dougy.

One, two, three.

Well that fuckin' plan
didn't fuckin' work.

Let's get the fuck outta here,
okay?

You fools.

You can run, but you cannot hide.

You will now fight the beast.

Where's the fucking car, man?

Where the fuck is my car,
it was just here.

Forget it. - Forget it?

You don't forget an 88 turbo
peugeot, my brother.

Where the fuck is my car?

Man, there's a fuckin'
devil bitch after us.

Let's go, man.

This way. - No, we go this way.

This way. - No, we go this way.

This fucking way! - No, we go,
dougy,

I'll see you, when I see you.

See you when I see you.

Halt!

Police officer, open up!

Go, just go, drive!

No!

Wa-cha-whee!

And he slammed the door and he
walked out, and I...

Joel, I just have to tell you

how happy I was to see you today.

You know, I,

I was so happy to see you today.

I was.

K, k, k.

Would you like a glass of wine?

I mean, I think a glass of wine

might make us both
feel much better.

Hey, man, I don't drink.

No, I think, I think, I
think it could.

All right, I mean, in the Bible
people are drinking wine.

I mean, as long as you don't
exceed your limit, isn't that...

I know that, I don't drink.

I'm not a drinker.

You see, I don't, I can't,
I don't drink.

I appreciate it though,
but I don't...

Have we met?

Wha-choo!

Ah!

I'm not fuckin' around!

Yeah, that's it.

That's it.

Hey.

Yeah, I got the gun.

I got

yes, got it.

Whoo, ah, come on.

What the fuck?

Sinner, fornicator.

You're supposed to be dead.

In my house!

You're supposed, you're
supposed to be dead.

I'm going to teach you a lesson.

No.

No, you...

You're not my father,
you're not my father!

Who are you?

Don't you know, boy?

I'm you, Joel.

No.

You can't...

Don't hurt my baby.

No!

No!

Why are you doin' this to me?

Make your claim to this, Joel.

This is a test for your fate,
Joel.

No!

Faith without works is dead.

Behold, I come quickly.

Hold that fast which thou hast,

that no man may take thy crown.

The power is in the word, Joel.

Blessed is the man that
endureth temptation.

The power is in the word, Joel.

And the knowledge of that
is your weapon.

The power's in the word, Joel.

This is between you and me.

It's always been
between you and me.

I do.

Demon, let me rebuke you.

I rebuke you to the pit of hell
from which you came.

J mm hmm hmm
